 The following is from "The History of Stanstead County Province of
Quebec" compiled by B.F. Hubbard, originally published 1874 in Montreal,

                   The Ives Families
  These families settled in different parts of Stanstead County,
are all the descendants of Joseph and Joel Ives.  They were natives
of Connecticut and came to Canad in 1793.  We have no authentic
account of their ancestry, but tradition says that they were among
the early emigrants to the New England Colonies.  Joseph and Joel
Ives were men of energy, and their posterity, with hardly an exception,
have been intelligent and useful members of the community, some of
whome have occupied porminent position in public life.  We find them
generally identified with the different branches of the Christian
Church.
