My French Canadian Bora family came from the Rouville district of Quebec, particularly St. Mathias parish and their surname there was Barre (with an accent on the e). They settled in the Vergennes area of Addison County, Vermont in or about 1840. I have seen the name spelled Boria, and I have seen it misspelled in countless ways. I know that the name Barre appears in other areas, such as Marieville, but I haven't researched the records outside of St. Mathias yet.
