Notes - As a young man, Jean-Baptiste seems to have left the protection of the family flock. Most of his family remained in L'Assomption County, but he moved to neighboring Joliette County. His brothers Alexandre and Narcisse appear to have joined him at some point.
Jean-Baptiste was a farmer by vocation but still found time to serve his neighbors by fighting in the Papineau Rebellion (or French Uprising) at St Eustace in 1837 against the British and the Family Compact. This Rebellion was the result of Quebec citizens' dissatisfaction with theirlack of autonomy and their resentment of the rigid, mainly English, political establishment.
Jean-Baptiste and Emelie apparently stayed in Joliette County for all of their married lives. Their 20 children are confirmed to have been born there. Initially, they lived in the city of Joliette, in the parish of St Paul l'Industrie, wherethirteen children were born and baptised. We know they lived here at the beginning of 1842 because they were therefor the Census. However, the baptism of daughter Zoe, born in October 1842 has not been found in St Paul's Church. Around thistime, the family moved to the parish of St-Charles-de-Borromèe, also in Joliette City,where the last six childrenare confirmed to have been born and baptised. Some speculation also exists that Jean-Baptiste may have even had two wives. This idea seems to stem fments de l'e acusaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»rom the opinion proffered by a priest in Quebec in 1995, as related by Teresa and Irene ARBOUR. Theoretically, only a rare woman would give birth to this many children. However, all 20 children, born over 26 years, are confirmed to have been borne by our dear Emelie.
Emelie also became godmother to the couple's first grandchild, even while she would become a mother again herself. In June 1853, she held little Joseph Jean-Baptiste ARBOUR at the baptismal font at St-Charles-de-Borromèe Church in Joliette City. Inments de l'e acusaole?ees18 Rivitab»«tab»July 1871, they both held their first great-grandson Joseph ARBOUR at the same church.
Between 1854 and 1861, the family left the city to spread their wings in the countryside. In 1863, a new village was incorporated a little further north in Joliette County. Ste-Emelie-de-l'Energie islocated along the Black River and this is where the family settled. In 1870, the parish church opened there and by then it appears as though the ARBOURs dominated the town, as many of them farmed thearea and they represented more than one-third of the 200 inhabitants. Prior to the parish church opening in 1870, the family attended church in the neighboring community of St-Jean-de-Matha.
Jean-Baptiste and Emelie's land later included a small trout-fishing lake. The property was located between Ste-Emelie-de-l'Energie and St-Côme, about four miles inside the edge of the forest, and could very easily have been the farm on which the fments de l'e acusaole?ees18 Rivitab»«tab»amily lived when they moved to Ste-Emelie'de-l'Energie. They built a barn and a small house on the property. Eventually, the land was passed to their daughter, grandson, great-grandson, and then great-great-grandson. Regrettably, the great-great-grandson, Jean CHARTIER-ROBERT, was forced to sell the estate in the 1960s due to his financial circumstances.
Jean-Baptiste and Emelie were still living in Ste-Emelie-de-l'Energie in April of 1881. They were recorded in the Census living with their sonJoseph and his wife Virginie. They were not living with them in 1891, as they had both died by then.
The period from the 1860s through the 1880s was marked with great change for the country of Canada, due mostly to governmental and industrial forces. The large industry of the time was that of cutting and selling timber, as Canada had immense stands of red and white pine. There was agradual migration of married French bushworkers from Quebec into Ontario during this heyday of lumbering and they brought their families withthem. One group of immigrants followed the lumber trail up the OttawaValley to Mattawa and Timiskaming, then west to North Bay, Sturgeon Falls, and Sudbury. One of Jean-Baptiste and Emelie's descendants took thisroute and maybe others followed later on. In addition, five of the brood are known to have left the Joliette nest and migrated to Ontario viaa different course. An early group advanced with the lumber trade through Glengarry County, along the north shore of Lake Ontario, up the Trent Valley to Lake Simcoe, and eventually into the Georgian Bay area.This is where we can find many of Jean-Baptiste and Emelie's descendants even today.
Although six of Jean-Baptiste and Emelie's children moved to Ontario, as many as eight of them seem to have remained quite close to the familyhomestead -- at least for a time.
