        History

        François-Xavier Vassal de Monviel (Monteil, Montviel) was born on November 4, 1759, in Boucherville, Quebec.

        He was a militia and army officer, Justice of the Peace, and landowner. In 1776, he joined the army and took part in the campaigns against the Americans. In 1787, he was granted 500 arpents of land near the seigneury of Beauharnois for his services. He was commissioned a captain in the Royal Canadian Volunteer Regiment in 1797 and served in it until it was disbanded in 1802. In 1807, he was appointed deputy adjutant general of the Lower Canadian militia. After the War of 1812, he retained his office and held it until 1841. For his services during the conflict, he also received 1,200 acres in Frampton Township, and in 1828 he obtained a further 1,200 acres. He received commissions as Justice of the Peace from 1813 to 1828. From 1816 to 1830 he served as a Commissioner for building churches and presbyteries.
        Designated in 1950 by the Geographical Survey, Canton of Montviel, located about 70 km east of Matagami, Quebec is named in his honour.

        About 1800, he married Marie Marguerite Annance. He died on October 25, 1843, in Charlesbourg, Quebec.
