(45.355N/73.276W) It merged with St-Luc in the late 1960s which in turn
has merged with St-Jean-sur-Richelieu and several other neighboring
towns in 2001 to form the new city of Ville de St-Jean-Iberville.
Talon Post Office

name and status changed to Talon St-Luc Sub Post Office. The sub post
office closed in 1972.
Tatehurst

Teafield, large and small (La Terre Noire)
An area of wet, marshy, black peat bog in the St-Anicet/Ste-Barbe area.
A map from 1839 shows a large area halfway between Huntingdon and Lake
St-Francis as Teafield Swamp. Attempts have been made to drain them and
use them for farming and as a result, the area has been greatly reduced
in size. Two remaining areas of bogland have been proposed as ecological
reserves. One, designated the Large Teafield, is located 2.8mi (4.4km)
SSW of Ste-Barbe Village, between Chemin de l'Eglise and Chemin
Teafield. (45.13N/74.21W) The other, designated the Small Teafield, is
located 3.5mi (5.6km) east of St-Anicet Village, in the First Concession
(St-Anicet) between the Delmont Range and the Quesnel Concession Road.
(45.14N/74.29W) Origin of name is interesting. According to Sellar, a
surveying party stopped to camp for the night and were having supper.
One of the party, on account of a near fatal accident that day, proposed
that they should name the place. It was agreed that it should be known
as Teafield - from their having partaken of their supper upon it. I
would have thought that the name came from the typical brown water that
permeates the black peat bog. The former makes a better story.
Tennessee

207/221, 3.4mi (5.4km) SSE of Kahnawake Village. (45.381N/73.661W)
Teohauta (Teohanta)
An old name (c1850s) for a hamlet at or near present day Melocheville?.
It is reported to be a Mohawk word meaning 'a gathering place'. The only
documented mention I can find of the name is in the Post Office
Archives. There are references to Leohauta, Leshaute and Leshauts in
parish records, probably misinterpretation of poor handwriting.

was formed from parts of Hemmingford Township (parts of First and Second
Ranges), Hinchinbrooke (parts of First, Second and Third ranges),
Russelltown (parts of all 5 ranges) and Jamestown (Seventh, Eighth and
Ninth ranges) The ranges have not been renumbered in Franklin, hence the
confusion. The Third Range probably refers to the Third Range
(Russelltown) that is on the south side of the Brooks Road.
Third Concession (Godmanchester)
The third range or concession south of the Lake St-Francis shoreline.
The concessions of Godmanchester are confusing. There were two groups of
concessions, six to the west and five to the east, with a dividing line
just east of the Plank Road. To the west, the Third Concession lies
along the south side of the Chemin des Prairies and the Chemin Neuf and
on the north side of Chemin Walsh, Chemin Curran, and Chemin Ridge in
the Municipality of St-Anicet. (45.090N/74.296W) This southwest end in
now the southern most range in St-Anicet Parish. On the east side of the

Town of <xxxx> (NY)
The term 'Town' as applied in New York and probably other American
states means the same as the term 'Township' or the french 'Canton' on

the large rural municipality in Franklin County of northern New York
State and the Village of Malone is a large urban community within that
municipality.

of the Carr Sideroad and Rte 138. It was probably on land owned by
Samuel Pelton (old lot# 40) and may have been known as the Pelton

Tullochgorum
The concession consisting of the Third Concession (Jamestown) and the
Second and Third Concessions (South Georgetown) and the road between
them. (45.14N/73.92W) The Jamestown end (now Ormstown) was called Upper
Tullochgorum and the South Georgetown end (now Très-St-Sacrement) used
to be called Lower Tullochgorum. The origin of the name is Gaelic
meaning a "grassy meadow" which would be appropriate now but not
necessarily at the time the concession was first opened. Local lore has
a slightly different origin. When the road was first opened through the
concession (c1850), the settlers had a party and when asked what the
musicians should play, the host chose "Tullochgorum", a scottish
strathspey (similar to a reel but slower). The tune is still quite
popular with Celtic musicians. And so the road was named or so the
locals say. The original reference to the road was "The Road leading
from Howick Village to Hinchinbrooke".
Tullochgorum Post Office
The Tullochgorum Post Office operated from 1902 until 1915. It was

(Très-St-Sacrement). It was known as Lower Tullochgorum in the old days.
Tully's Bridge
A bridge across the Trout River located 0.4mi (0.6km) east of the
junction of Rte 138 and White Sideroad. (45.031N/74.297W) It was named
after the family who owned the farm on the Elgin Side of the bridge. The
bridge is no longer in existence. It is shown on an 1881 map but without
any connecting roads so it probably was inactive at that time.
Turcot('s) Bridge (Le Pont Turcot)
The old iron bridge across the Châteauguay River beside the Georgetown
Church Cemetery. (45.198N/73.863W) It was one of the first riveted,

the last survivors of that design. It was named after the Turcot family,
who had the right to install a toll bridge at that location during the

bridge, a short distance to the north. The new bridge is called the
Très-St-Sacrement Bridge.
