Lt.-Colonel The Hon. Clément-Charles Sabrevois de Bleury (October 28, 1798 – September 15, 1862) of Montreal was a soldier, seigneur, lawyer, politician, newspaper founder and noted duellist. Bleury Street in Montreal is named for him. His nephews included the Prime Minister of Quebec, Sir Charles Boucher de Boucherville, and Louis-Tancrède Bouthillier, from whose house the City of Outremont takes its name.
Clément-Charles Sabrevois de Bleury was born into an old military family at William-Henry, Lower Canada, October 28, 1798. He was the son of Commandant Clément-Christophe Sabrevois de Bleury (1755–1827) and Amélia Bowers, daughter of a retired British army officer at Halifax, possibly Captain Daniel Bower of Parrsborough. His paternal ancestor, a younger son of Henri de Sabrevois, Sieur de Sermonville, came from Garancières-en-Beauce to New France in 1685 as a young Lieutenant of an infantry company; later made a Chevalier de Saint-Louis. In 1764, his grandfather sold the family seigneuries at Sabrevois and Bleury to General Gabriel Christie for £7,300. Sabrevois de Bleury grew up in Montréal at what is now known as La Maison Clément-Sabrevois de Bleury, situated on Rue Saint-Gabriel.
