LONGUEUIL, or DE LONGUEUIL. The title of BARON DE LONGUEUIL of Longueuil, in the province of Quebec, iu Canada,(») was granted (at the time when Canada formed part of the Dominion of France) by letters patent of Louis XIV., King of France, dated 26 Jan. 1700, to Charles Le Moynk, a distinguished Military Commander, the estate of Longueuil being erected into a Barony with rem. to the heirs (male or female) of his body so that, accordingly, his great grandanghtcr (the posthumous da. and h. of his grandson, the 3d Baron), Marie Charles Joseph, suo jure Baroness de Lougueueil, inherited the same from her father (who d. 27 Sep. 1755), and was succeeded (at her death 17 Jan. 1841, aged 85), by her s, and h., Charles William Grant, the 5th possessor of this Barony, who d. 5 July 1848, aged 66.
