On 7 April 1745, before Notary Jean-Claude PANET, he signed an agreement withJean-Baptiste DUPEREY, who was a merchant from Quebec City. The purpose of their document is unlcear.It is unknown when or where Antoine and Marthe passed away. However, they may have later lived on Gaspe Peninsula at Baie des Penouil. In fact, in 1758, he reportedly lived there with his wife, whom he had married before 1745.

Notes:

 

Michel and Louise initially settled down in St-Francois-du-Sud, where their first two children were born and baptised. Then, on 21 October 1754, before Notary N. C. L. LEVESQUE,Michel, along with brother-in-law Antoine PEPIN, purchased some land from Etienne BLUTEAU of St-Joachim, Quebec. This new property was located in St-Vallier, which is situated just down the road from St-Francois-du-Sud, in BellechasseCounty. On thissame day, Michel then exchanged his land in St-Francois-du-Sud for Antoine's part of the property in St-Vallier. Perhaps Michel's credit was not good enough for Mr. BLUTEAU but it rated just fine for Antoine. In any event, before the family movedthere the following year, Michel was the recipient in another land deal. On 17 August 1755, Marie-Anne MERCIER, Louise's widowed mother, gave all of her land in St-Francois-du-Sudto Michel, Louise, and all nine of Louise's minor brothers and sisters. Perhaps Michel and Louise also became guardians to her siblings. In any event, the family moved about one year later, signifying the arrivalof the ARBOURs in Bellechasse County and beginning a stronglegacy which continues there today. Micheland Louise eventually had 11 children, six daughters and five sons. Their whereabouts are unknown beyond about 1766, but they probably both passed away in Bellechasse County. --> Note the addition of new information regarding Michel's death.

Notes:

As a young man, Francois travelled back to his ancestors' homeland of France. Although the reason for this is not crystal clear, Francois was a mariner so perhaps his work brought him there. Once there, Francois met the woman he was destined to marry. His bride Marie-Marguerite HENRYand her family were Acadian exiles living in France.
According to Paul-Yvon BELLIVEAU, a Parish Priest in present-day Gatineau, Quebec, the question concerning the true reason for the expulsion of the Acadians from Acadie in 1755 remains a very controversial issue. The Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 madeall of eastern Canada a British Colony and all residents were considered British subjects. Some claim the expulsion to have been strictly a religious question wherein the English demanded allegiance to the Throne of England, which wasof course of theAnglican Faith. The Acadians, being of the Roman Catholic Faith, couldnot swear this kind of allegiance without renouncing their obedience to the authority of the Pope. The Acadians were, however, assured by their priest that swearing allegiancetothe Throne of England was a noble and virtuous patriotic gesture and would not interfere with their continued practice of the Roman Catholic Faith. Many Acadians did in fact give their allegiance to the Throne of England but were exiled nonetheless. Apparently the Acadians were in possession of the most fertile landsin central Nova Scotia. The swearing allegiance to the Throne of England became a poor excuse to get the Acadians off these fertile lands sothe England could take possessionof them.
In any event, Francois and Marie appear to have settled in the LeHavre area after their wedding to begin their family. They seem to have had three sons. Francois and his family occupied farm No. 20 at the Ligne Acadienne in Poitou Province,France,in 1774.
In 1785, Spain extended a Land Grant to Acadian exiles. The Spanish owned the land of what is present-day Louisiana in the United States. Francois and Marie decided to take them up on the offer and moved their young family across the Atlantic. Theydeparted from France on 11 Jun 1785 and arrived on 19 August 1785 onboard "Le Beaumont," a 180-ton merchantvessel chartered by the Spanish government for the exclusive privilegeof transporting Acadian exiles from France to Louisiana and captainedbyOliver DANIEL.
The young family immigrated to New Orleans and then two weeks later, travelled up the Mississippi River to their portion of the land grant at the settlement of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In September 1785, Francois took possession of his virgin forestland which was located on the West bank of the Mississippi, two and a half leagues (about six and a half miles) above a point opposite the fort at Baton Rouge, where they established their own branch of the ARBOUR Family. Today thereare many Cajuncousins, descendants of Francois and Marie.
Francois was only 47-years old when he died at his homestead in Baton Rouge in 1790, after a long and serious illness under the care of Dr. Michel MAHIER. Due to his illness, Francois had little time after his arrival and must have worked hard to clear his land and establish a farm. He had no more than four active years - or less even - in which he built a levee, cleared and fenced a fair portion of land, built two houses,and accumulated the possessions listed in the inventoryof his estateafter his death. The inventory includes oxen, cows, calves, a heifer, a bull, a mare and colt, a sow,hogs, a cart with leather straps for oxen, tools, a hand mill for rice, and some other items, altogether appraisedat 179 pesos, 4 reales. The "lastthe habitation on which said deceaseddied, of sixarpents front on which there is a good levee, twenty arpents cleared and twelve with fences of the French and English style, two cabins and good land with many cypress trees" was appraised at 200pesosand actually totaled 263 arpents.
On 4 July 1792, Marie took her own personal items and then an auction was held to sell off everything else to pay the family debt, including medical expenses and the loss of the 1790 and 1791 crops.The auction brought 366 pesos, 7 reales, and all but 58 pesos were used to pay the debts. The remainder was divided between Marie and their three sons. Marie's whereabout after this are unknown.

Notes:

Note: According to Aldo BROCHET: Theophile, a longtime settler of Perce, was appointed Justice of the Peace there. He and Dr. Longmore began smallpox vaccinations there in 1803. Marthe and Theophile later petitoned the Crown for land for eachof their children. In the name of daughterRosalinde, they petitioned for 1,000 acres of land at Cape Despair, 2 Sep 1810. Philip Fox was included for a like amount of land at the samelocation 2 Sep 1810. Theophile Fox, possibly Irish-born,converted fromAnglicanism in his last years, donating a huge lot to the Fabrique St-Michel. History lost track of the two sons, while much of the Fox heritage at Perce is later found with his daughter Matilde's descendants, who married intothe Driscoll, Walsh,Bunton, Lamb, Boulet, and Tanguay lineages and who were respondents in a suit launched by Judge Peter Winterfor the monetary share of his late first wife, Genevieve "Jane" Moriarty (1817-1870).

Bio from Facebook 28 Feb 2010:
28 Feb 1755 -- Michel ARBOUR V is the oldest person we have yet profiled here, having been born 255 years ago. Born in St-Francois-de-la-Riviere-du-Sud, QC, Michel was the eldest son and 2nd child of Michel ARBOURIV and Marie-Louise BOUTIN. As the V attests, Michel is a direct descendant ofour immigrant ancestor Michel ARBOUR. Michel V married on 26 Aug 1793, to Ursule PROULX and they had one daughter, Marie-Barbe ARBOUR,before Ursule's untimely death. At some point after his first marriage,Michel moved from St-Francois to St-Gervais, QC, located in Bellechasse County. It was here that he married for a second time to Marie-Anne LABRECQUE on 03 Feb 1807. She bore him 4 children between 1807 and 1813- one of whom was his heir Michel ARBOUR VI. Michel VI, in turn, had ason named Michel VII. Michel VII never married or had children so the direct Michel ARBOUR descendancy ended with his death in 1904, some 263years after it began. Michel ARBOUR V and Marie-Anne LABRECQUE both died some time before 1861, but it is unclear exactly when or where.

Note added on 25 Sep 2010:
We now know why we have foundnothing further about Michel in Quebec. Hemay have died in Maine. In fact, this man has a wonderful, interestingstory. He is the only known ARBOUR to have served for the United States of America during the RevolutionaryWar. He must have been quite angry with the British in order to side with the Americans. Perhaps we willnever know his true motivation. In any case, here is some of the documentation regarding his service.

A little more about Michel's two commanding officers . . .

JAMES LIVINGSTON
Colonel James Livingston (27 March 1747-- 9 March 1832) was born in theFrench province of Canada to New York-born parents. He was living in Quebec, as Canada was known following the French and Indian War, when the American Revolutionary War broke out. He was responsible for raising and leading the 1st Canadian Regiment of the Continental Army during the invasion of Canada, and continued to serve in the war until 1781. He retired to Saratoga, New York, where he served as a state legislator and raised a family of five children.
American Revolutionary War -- Livingston was living in Chambly, workingas a grain merchant, when the invasion of Quebec began in September 1775. As early as August, he had been in contact with General Philip Schuyler, mostly through the efforts ofJohnBrown, an Americanspy.On 18August, he sent a messenger to Schuyler at Fort Ticonderoga, presumably withinformation on British military readiness at Fort Chambly and Fort Saint-Jean; unfortunately, this messenger destroyed the message, fearing hemight be captured withit. General Richard Montgomery (who was marriedto one of Livingston's relatives), who was in command of Ticonderoga at the time, sent John Brown back to Livingston. On the 28th, they sent word back to Montgomery withnewsthat spurred him tobegin the invasion: the British had almost completed ships capable of threatening the American naval superiority on Lake Champlain. Up to, and then also following, the arrival of the American forces at Île aux Noix inearlySeptember,Livingston was active in the Chambly area, raising local support for the Americans. On 15 September, he reported to Schuyler that militiaunder his control had cut off Fort Chambly from communication with Montreal, and that Brownand Ethan Allenwere raising additional troops and guarding the southern shore of the Saint Lawrence River. Forces under his command, numbering about 200, participated in the capture of Fort Chambly on 18 October, along with militia under Brown's command. On20 November, Montgomery made him a colonel in the Continental Army, and gave him command of the 1st Canadian Regiment, consisting mainly of the troops he had recruited. This regiment then served at the battle of Quebec in December1775, andtheensuing retreat. They later saw action in the Saratoga campaign, including the relief of the siege of Fort Stanwix in August 1777, both Battles of Saratoga, and the Battle of Rhode Island. Livingston was in command of Verplanck's PointontheHudson River in September 1780, when he played a crucial role in the unmasking of Benedict Arnold's treachery. While on guard duty, his troops fired on the Britishsloop of war Vulture, forcing that vessel to retreat southwards. Thisshiphadbrought Major John Andréto meet with General Arnold. Sincethe ship was driven off, André was forced to attempt travel by land to New York; he was captured with incriminating papers in his possession. André as hanged asa spy, and Arnold, hisplot discovered,managed to escape to the British lines. Livingston retired from the Continental Army on 1 January 1781. In recognition of his service, he was granted 3,500 acres (14 km2) of land near where Tyre, New Yorkistoday. In 1801, Congressawardedhim another 1,280 acres (5.2 km2) of land near the modern location of Columbus, Ohio.

MOSES HAZEN
Moses Hazen (1 June 1733 -- 5 February 1803) was a Brigadier General inthe Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. Born intheProvince of Massachusetts Bay, he saw action in the French and Indian War with Rogers' Rangers before settling outside Montreal, Quebec, where he became involved inthe American invasionof Quebec early in the American Revolutionary War, servingin theContinental Army. He went on to lead his own regiment (the 2nd Canadian, or Congress' Own) throughout thewar. He was also a land developer, with propertyinterests in Quebec, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York.
Revolutionary War -- ContinentalArmy Arrives -- At the start of the Revolutionary War in 1775, Hazen was living on half-pay in Saint-Jean, dueto his prior service during the French and Indian War. When Benedict Arnold raided Fort Saint-Jean on 18 May, Hazen reported the newsof that raid (as well as the captureof Fort Ticonderoga) first to the military authorities in Montreal, and then to Governor Guy Carleton in Quebec, before returninghome to consider the consequences the conflict might have on him and his lands.TheAmerican invasion of Quebec arrived near his home at Saint-Jean on 6 September. On that day, Hazen met with General Philip Schuyler, explaining to himthat Fort Saint-Jean was well-defended and unlikely to be taken by siege, and that the local habitantswere unlikely to assist the American effort. This gloomy portrait led Schuyler to consider retreating; but the arrival ofadditional American troops,and a more optimistic assessment from James Livingston, a grain merchant livingnear Chambly, encouraged the Americans to renew the attack. Livingston went on to form the 1st Canadian Regiment in November 1775.
Imprisonment andRelease -- On 17 September, Brigadier General Richard Montgomery, now commanding the American forces, beganto besiege Fort St Jean. The next day, adetachment of American forces under the command ofJohn Brown arrested Hazen north of the fort. However, aBritish sortie from the fort forced Brown's men to retreat; Hazen ended up in British hands.MajorCharles Preston,the British commander, was mistrustful of Hazen, and sent him to Montreal under the guard of Claude de Lorimier. BrigadierGeneral Richard Prescott, unhappy with Hazen's explanations of his movements, imprisoned him.He was held in poor conditionsfor54 days. Following the fall of Fort St Jean, the British withdrew from Montreal,transporting prisonerson one ofthe many ships used in the evacuation. Most of this British fleet was captured by the Americans, whoreleased Hazen and other politicalprisoners who had supported them. Unhappy with the treatment he received by the British, Hazen joinedthe American forces, which were on their way to Quebec City. He did this in spite of thefact that the Americans had donesignificant damage to hisestate duringthe siege,plundering the estate for supplies, and using his house as abarracks.
Service in Quebec (Battle of Quebec (1775)) -- Hazen served in the battle of Quebec, and was one of two men (the other was EdwardAntill) sent toreportthe devastating loss to the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia. TheCongress, in recognition for his efforts, gave Hazen a commission as a colonel, leading the Continental Army's 2nd Canadian Regiment, also called Congress' OwnRegiment or Hazen's Regiment. (Antill wascommissioned the regiment's Lieutenant Colonel.) Hazen was initially offered a position as Brigadier General, but he refused, requesting instead a Colonel's commission, and indemnification against losses caused by the conflict. (His property had already been significantlydamagedbythe Americanactionaround St. Jean.) Hazen was fortunate in arriving in Philadelphia before John Duggan, one of Livingston's captains, to whom Benedict Arnold hadearlier promised the commission for the 2ndCanadian. Hazen and Antill returned to Quebec, where Hazen was stationed at Montreal while Antill recruited men for the regiment. Hazen was briefly in command of the defenses of Montrealfor the Americans,from late March tomid-April1776, when General David Wooster took command of the Americanforces outside Quebec, and Benedict Arnold assumed command of the Montrealgarrison. During the time he was in command, Hazen dispatched Timothy Bedel and 390 men tofortify TheCedars, about 40 miles(64 km) upriver from Montreal; these forces surrendered to a British-Native force duringthe Battle of The Cedars in May.
Trouble with Arnold (Battle of The Cedars) -- Following Arnold's assumption ofcommand at Montreal,Hazen's regiment was assigned to garrison duty atFort Chambly.Hazen (andlikely his men) were called as reinforcements to assist in the American response to the action at The Cedars. In council, Hazen and Arnold had a heated exchange over what actions to take,which, in Arnold's opinion, bordered on insubordination. Arnold had previously held a high opinion of Hazen, writing that he was "a sensible, judicious officer, and well acquainted with this country". During theAmerican retreat from Quebec inMayand June1776, Hazenand Arnold were embroiled in a dispute that led to charges and counter-charges, courts martial and other hearings, lasting into 1779. At issuewere supplies thatArnold had ordered seized from merchants in Montreal andsent toChamblyfor eventual shipment south as part of the retreat. Hazen, in charge ofthe facilities at Chambly, refused to sign for the goods, as he recognized them as the property of friends in Montreal. In the ensuing retreat, mostof thesegoods were plunderedand lost. Arnold wanted to immediately court-martial Hazen for failing to follow orders, but the arriving British army delayed any such activity until the army's return to Fort Ticonderoga. Arnold's opinion ofHazen clearly changed;he wrote, "This isnot the first or last order Col. Hazen has disobeyed. I think him a man of too much consequence for the post he is in." Hazen's court martialwas held on 19 July 1776; he was honorably acquitted. However,there were irregularities in the proceedings(thejudge advocate was the same officer who had delivered the goods from Montreal to Chambly, so he did not testify), and Arnold continued to attack Hazen afterwards. In December 1776 anotherinquiry was held, andHazen wasagain cleared of anywrongdoing. Hazen then countercharged Arnold with the plundering of the Montreal merchants; Arnold was not cleared of these charges until 1779, when he was already considering changing sides to the British.
Building HisRegiment -- Hazen's regiment, which was significantly reduced in size by the retreat from Quebec, was assigned first to Ticonderoga, and then to Albany, in the summer and fall of 1776, before being orderedto winter quarters atFishkill, New York. During thistime, Hazen continuedrecruiting, receiving permission from Congress to recruit anywhere in the United States. In the northern states he ran into difficulties, as those states were havingtrouble filling their own regimental lines; hewas often outbid by other recruiters. By June 1777, the regiment reached about 700 members, out of an authorized strength of 1,000. The cultural differences between the original Quebec enlisteesand the new recruits from theThirteen Colonies was a regular source of friction withintheregiment. As a result, Hazen kept the French-speakers in separate companies. Hazen also submitted to Congress a claim for damages to his estate in Quebec. The original bill was for $11,363;Congress paid $2,595in October 1776.
PhiladelphiaCampaign (Battle of Staten Island, Battle of Brandywine, and Battle of Germantown) -- In May 1777, Hazen's regiment was ordered tojoin the main army at Princeton, where it was active in the Philadelphia campaign as part of JohnSullivan'sbrigade. Someof Hazen's companies (but not Hazen himself) participated in the Battle of Staten Island. Hazen's command during the Battle of Brandywine included the northern endof the Americanline; thisposition was one ofthose flanked by the British in their attack. Hazen's regiment lost 4 officers and 73 men in the battle. In the Battle of Germantown, Hazen commanded a brigade thatincluded in addition to his own regiment,the 2nd,4th,and6th Maryland Regiments. They formed part ofSullivan's columnwhenit marched on the town; hisregiment lost 3 officers and 19 men in the engagement.
Bayley-Hazen Road Proposed-- Hazen, ever since his returnto the United Statesin 1776, hadmaintained a constant stream ofcommunications with Congress, primarilyon the subject of Canada.[41] In January 1778, these communications bore some fruit, when, with French assistance, planning for aninvasion of Canada began. Hazen was assignedthe job of deputy quartermaster for this operation. However, the planningwas beset by supply difficulties, and never got off the ground. It was ultimately cancelledby Congress in March 1778. This failure did not deter Hazen from offering anew route for invadingCanada. This routewent from Newbury, where Hazen owned land and knew the area, to Saint Francis, Quebec. On 12 July, Hazen departed Newbury to scout the route. By 25 July, he hadreturnedto White Plains; the effort was abandoned forthe time beingbecause themanpower was needed in the New York area. Plans for possible attacks against Quebec based on routes departing from the Newburyarea were againcontemplatedin thefall of 1778,but Washington continued toresist the idea.
Construction work on the road (Bayley Hazen MilitaryRoad) -- In the spring and summer of 1779, Hazen's regiment and that of Timothy Bedel worked on constructionof the Bayley Hazen Military Road, once again withtheeventual goal of launching an invasion. Part ofthe road, between Newbury and Peacham had been constructed in 1776 byJacob Bayley. Hazen supervised the development ofthe road up to whatis now called Hazens Notch in northern Vermont. Work was discontinued on the road in August after word was received that the British were preparing a military force atSaint-Jean to attempt capture of the construction crew. General Washingtonhad neverintended to send an invasion along this route; theentireworkswas a ruse to divert Britishattention, and deter them from launching an invasion. Washington wrote toCongress thatthe work "was for the purpose of exciting jealousies at Quebec and atthe Enemy's posts on theSt Lawrence, and ofmaking a diversion in favor of the late expedition under general Sullivan ... this very happilysucceeded".
Service Around New York-- Hazen and his regiment spent the winter at Washington's main encampmentin Morristown, New Jersey. There Hazen was again involved in litigation; he was rejected for serviceon a court martial considering charges against Benedict Arnold dueto their previous confrontations, and he also opened complaints of supplymismanagement during the summer's roadbuilding activities. A detailed review of the army inthe spring of 1780 by Baron von Steuben led to the recommendation thatthe regimentsof Hazenand Livingston be merged, as Livingston's had shrunk to103 men. Hazen and Livingston had a political tussle over seniority; while Hazen lost the claim toseniority, he ended up in command of the combined regiment. In January 1780 the regimentwas involved in a failed attackon Staten Island; word of the operation leaked to the British.Hazen's regiment was then transferred to the brigade of Enoch Poor. Bythe time thetransfer was effected,Hazen was given command of the entire brigade,although repeatedrequests he hadmade for promotion to brigadier generalwere rejected. During the summer the brigade was relocated tothe West Point area. While en route, Hazen allowed his men to stopfor water, breaking the army column. VonSteubenordered Hazen's arrest for this transgression of military discipline. Hazen was acquitted, and promptly countercharged von Steuben with behavior unbecoming an officer andgentleman; von Steuben apologized. Hazen's regiment was garrisoned opposite West Point that fallwhen British Major John André was captured and General Arnold defected. One hundred of Hazen's men, includinghis nephew, BenjaminMooers, witnessed André'shanging.
Yorktown-- On 29June 1781, Hazenwas promotedto Brigadier Generaland assigned command of a brigade under Lafayette during the Siege of Yorktown. Hazen's brigade served on the right of the line, andwas deeply involvedin the 14 October battles for theredoubts. Following the British surrender,Hazen and his unit weregivenprisoner guard duty at Lancaster, Pennsylvania. While on this duty, a misstep by Hazen caused a minor diplomatic incident, known as the "AsgillAffair". The British accused an American soldier of spying, and werethreatening to hang him. GeorgeWashington threatened to hang a British soldier if this happened, and instructed Hazen to choose an officer of similar rank. The man he chose by lot,Charles Asgill, should have been ineligible for selection due to the terms of the Yorktown surrender.The accused American was eventually acquitted, but Asgill's plight drew the attention of Marie Antoinette; Washington received a letter from theFrench foreign minister asking for a pardon. During the winterof 1781-2 Hazen also took time off for personal business. Among his dealings was a partnership with Timothy Bedel to acquire land along the military road they had built in Vermont.
After the War -- After thewar, GeneralHazen, unable to returntoQuebec, received a grant ofland in northern New York. He was active for many years on behalf of the men who served under him and their families, especially thosethat originally camefromQuebec, in their questfor compensation for their losses. He also continued his litigiousways -- hewas involved in an ongoing string of legal actions until his death in 1803. He died in Troy, New York where he was buried. His nephew, Benjamin Mooers, was ultimatelyresponsible for untangling many of Hazen's affairs. On 26 May 1828, Congress authorized a payment of $3,998.81 to Hazen's legal representatives in compensation for the half-pay lost to him when he joinedthe American forces.

Courtesyof Denis ARBOURfrom "HistoirePopulaire duQuébec," written byJacques Lacoursière, a collection of very well written history books. In those books, one can find some stories involving an ARBOUR. One of them, I am sure now, is about our Michel ARBOUR:

From Volume 2, page31:
"Les Français sefont sans doute des illusions sur les sentimentsdes Canadiens à l'égard de l'ancienne mère patrie. La mort du roi Louis XVI a prévenu plusieurs habitants contre les révolutionnaires. Mais ilen demeure quelques-uns qui refusent toujours de se soumettre au roi d'Angleterre, tel Michel Arbour, de Saint-François-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud,dans la régiondeBellechasse. L'évêqueJean-François Hubert écrit à son curé le 13 août 1793 : Si le nommé Arbour persiste dans ses anciens sentiments et ne veut pas reconnaître le roi d'Angleterre pourson légitime souverain, et luiêtre soumis, il nepourra être admis àaucun des sacrements de l'Église qui,conformément à la loi de Dieu, nous prescrit cette soumission."

English Translation:
"The French probably have illusions about the feelings of the Canadianswith respectto the former mother country. The death of King Louis XVI warned several residents against the revolutionaries. Butthere remains some who still refuse to submitto the King of England, as Michel Arbour, of Saint-François-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud, in the Bellechasse region. Bishop Jean-François Hubert wrote to his pastor on August 13, 1793: « Ifthe appointed Arbour persists with his old feelings and does not recognizethe King of England as his legitimate sovereign, and submit to Him, he will not be allowed to receive any of the sacraments of the Church which, according to the law of God, commands us this submission. »"

Fromemail to Denis ARBOURon 29 Sep 2010: For some reason, I did not have the burialfor Michel. But I did look it up. Do you wish a copy? I think it says that he died on 19 Feb 1835. But unlike other burial entries, it does not saywhere he lived. Furthermore, hiswife is listed as Marie-Anne LEBREC,which should either bethelate Marie-Anne LEBREC . . . or he lied to the USGovernment. Take your pick. Ok, nowI have found it . .. Michel lied to the US Government! Marie-Anne d/bd 27/29 Jan 1841 St-Gervais. Want to seea copy of this one, too?

When he was 15-years old, Firmin immigrated to the United States of America with his parents and settled in the State of Louisiana. Firmin andhis wife Rosalie settled in St James, where they had seven children, three daughters and four sons. The family was not listed in St James Parish in 1810 Census. What happened to them? Perhaps something tragic happened, such as Rosalie and all the childrendied, as no further sign of them has ever been found. Firmin possibly lived with hisbrother Frederic and family in 1810. Firmin is believed to have remarried in 1812. A Firmin ARBOUR married SusannaGLOVER on 1 July 1812 at St Joseph's in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Notes:

a young man, Francois worked as a mariner, like his father. When he was18-years old, Francois immigrated to the United States of America withhis parents and settled in the State of Louisiana. Francois and his wife Jeanne had nine children, six daughters and three sons. By 1810, thefamily lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where they contributed to the immense growth of the community. In 1810, the town filled only six pages in the Census rolls, but by 1820, had grown to 24 pages. Francois andJeanne lived there in 1810 with three of their daughters, as the others seem to have died by then. In fact, none of their sons lived until adulthood and the ARBOUR name ended with Francois on this line. In December 1810, the family lived next door toFrancois DAIGLE, probably Jeanne's father. A Private Fr. ARBOUR fought with the 8th Regiment (Meriam's Regiment), Louisiana Military, during the War of 1812. There were no other Francis/Francois ARBOURs alive at this time so one may conclude it wasthis Francois who fought for his home and that he died after 1812. However, speculation exists that Fr. could actually stand for Frederickso no conclusions can be made. It is unclear when or where Francois andJeanne passed away. Jeanne was alive during the Census taken in December 1810, so she died some time after this. Furthermore, there is a Francois ARBOUR listed in Baton Rouge in the 1830 Census and in the 1840 Census. He is probably also ourFrancois.

Notes:

When he was 13-years old, Frederic immigrated to the United States of America with his parents and settled in the State of Louisiana. After their wedding, Frederic and Rose settled in Baton Rouge, where they had five children, three daughters and two sons. Frederic's name appears in the records of Spanish West Florida as a property holder in 1800, in 1801, and in 1811, as well as a merchant in Baton Rouge in 1808. The family was confirmed to have still lived there in 1810. That year, the young family had several other people living in their home, probably Frederic's brother Firmin plus others. They also owned one slave. On 7 September 1812, Frederic sold a parcel of his land to a fellow by the name ofHypollite TIVOLLIER. The propertywas located at the edge of his land, adjacent to that of his brother John's. The land measured just over 22'by 55' and was sold for $433, quite a nice sum in those days.

APPENDICES
Acadians Who Found Refuge in Louisiana, Feb 1764-early 1800s
ARBOUR [ar- BORE]
ACADIA
Two unrelated families, using the surnames Harbour and Arbour, are associated with greater Acadia:
1) Michel, fils, son of Michel Harbour, père, and Marie Constantineau, born at Petite-Rivière-St-Charles, Québec, in c1674, married Barbe, daughter of Acadians Pierre Morin and Francoise Chiasson,in c1700. They had nine children, including eight soà 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»ns who created families of their own. However, these Harbours were born and raised in various communities along the St Lawrence River, not in Acadia.
2) Pierre Arbour dit Carrica, born at Bayonne, France, in c1700, married Susanne Moreau probably in c1721. They settled at St-Pierre-du-Nord on Île St-Jean, today's Prince Edward Island, and were among the first Acadians to settle there. Pierre andso à 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»Susanne had four daughters and at least three sons: Michel, born probably at St-Pierre-du-Nord in c1724, Mathurin in c1725, Dominique in c1727, Isabelle in c1730, Susanne in April 1732, Marguerite in c1734, and Marie-Thérèse in c1736.Mathurin marrio à 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»ed into the Archambault family at Pointe-aux-Trembles, Montréal, in Jul 1748, so the family may have moved to the St Lawrence valley.Dominique married into the Pelletier family at L'Assomption, between Montréal and Québec, in Aug 1755. Two of Pier à 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»re dit Carrica's daughters married into the Savoie and Turenne families. Pierre dit Carrica and Susanne may have had a fourth son,Francois, who married Thérèse Descoteaux probably at Québec in the early 1740s. Francois and Thérèse may have moved t? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»o Île St-Jean in the late 1740s or early 1750s.
LE GRAND DÉRANGEMENT
Living in territory controlled by France, the Acadians on Île St-Jean escaped the British deportations in Nova Scotia in the fall of 1755. Their respite from British oppression was short-lived, however. After the fall of the French fortressat Louised t? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab»«tab»bourg in Jul 1758, the victorious British rounded up most of the Acadians on the island and deported them to France later in the year. Francois, fils, son of Francois Arbour, père and Thérèse Descoteaux andperhaps a grandson of PierreArbour dit Ca t? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»rricas of Île St-Jean, was born at Québec in c1743 and may have returned with his parents to Île St-Jean.

The British deported the Arbours to Cherbourg in Normandy, where Chrysostôme died inDec 1758, probably from the rigors of the voyage; he was only 8 years old. Guillaume died in Jan 1759; he was only 10 ct? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»years old. The more robust Francois survived the terrible crossing. In France, Francois,fils made his living as a caulker. By c1763, he was in Le Havre, where he married Marie, daughter of Acadian JosephHenry, in Nov 1765; the priest who recorded his marriage noted that both of Francois's parents were deceased at the time of the wedding and that he had resided at Le Havre for a year and a half. Francois, fils and Marie had at least five children in France, all sons, the first three born probably at Le Havre: Francois-Henry in c1767, Jean-Louis-Firmin, called Louis, in c1770,and Frédéric-Edouard in c1772. In the early 1770s, Francois, Marie, and their three sons became part of the Leigne-les-bois settlement in the Poitou region, a fa ct? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»iled attempt by French authorities to settle Acadians on land owned by a nobleman. Francois and Marie had another son, Louis-Nicolas, at Archigny, Poitou, in Jun 1774. Despite the failureof theventure and the retreat of most of the Poitou Acadiansto Nantes in late 1775 and early 1776, Francoisand Marie remained at Archigny, where yet another son, Louis-Joseph, was baptized in Jun 1778. Louis-Nicolas died at Archigny, age9, in Dec 1782. BySep 1784, Francois and his family had joined the Acadians in the port city of Nantes, where they survivedas best they could on work he could find and on government handouts. Youngest son Louis-Joseph probably died at Nantes in late 1784 or early 1785. By 1785, many Acadians like Francois, fils weredone with life in the mother country. When the Spanish government offered the Acadians inFrance the chance for a new life in faraway Louisiana, Francois Arbour,fils and his family agreed to take it.
LOUISIANA: RIVER SETTLEMENTS
Francois Arbour, now 45, wife Marie, 40, and their three older sons--Francois-Henry, 18, Louis, 15, and Frédéric, 13--sailed to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships from France, and arrived at New Orleans in Aug 1785.After a bct? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»rief respite in the city, they settled at Baton Rouge, on the riverabove New Orleans, with the majority of the passengers from their ship. Francoisand Marie had no more children in Louisiana. The marriage record of Francois's oldestson, Francois-Henry, dated 27 Sep 1790, noted that the groom's father was deceased, so Francois, père died probably atBaton Rouge in the late 1780s, in his late 40s. All three of his sons created families of their own, butonly one of them,the youngest, seems tob ct? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»have perpetuated this line of the family successfully.
Descendants of Francois-Henry ARBOUR (1767-?)
Francois-Henry, eldest son of Francois Arbour and Marie Henry, was bornat Le Havre, France, in c1767 and followed his parents and siblings toLouisiana aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships, in 1785. He married Marie-Jeanne-Jacqueline, called Jeanne, daughter of fellow Acadian Francois Daigle, at St-Gabriel in Sep 1790. Jeanne also had come to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont. They settled at Baton Rouge, where their children were born. Their daughters married into the Altazin and Lerry families.
1 Oldest son Francois-Alexandre, born in c1792, died at age 2 in Aug 1794.
2 Charles-Francois, called Francois, born in c1800 and baptized at the Baton Rouge church at age 2 in Oct 1802, may have married Marie Aurore,called Aurore, Leroi or Roy, place and date unrecorded. Their son Francois Bonicase was born near Grand Coteau, St Landry Parish, in Mar 1842.
3 Youngest son Jean Pierre died at Baton Rouge, age unrecorded, in Apr 1806.
Descendants of Jean-Louis-Firmin ARBOUR (1770-?)
Jean-Louis-Firmin, called Louis and sometimes Firmin, second son of Francois Arbour and Marie Henry, was born at Le Havre, France, in c1770 and followed his parents and siblings to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships, in 1785. He married Rosalie, daughter of fellow Acadian Michel Poirier of St-Jacques, in Apr 1793. Rosalie was a native of Louisiana. They settled at St-Jacques, now St James Parish, where their children were born. Their daughter married intothe Legendre family. Jean-Louis-Firmin remarried to Susanna, daughter of Anglo-American George Glover, at the BatonRouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, inJul 1812. None of his sons seem to have created families of their own,so his line ofthe family, except for its blood, died with him.
1 Oldest son Jean-Pierre, by his first wife, born at St-Jacques in c1794, died at age 12 in Nov 1806.
2 Louis-Evariste, born at St-Jacques in Jan 1801, probably never married.

NON-ACADIAN FAMILIES in LOUISIANA
The Arbours of Baton Rouge, themselves, may not have been Acadians but French Canadians. Francois Arbour, fils was born in Québec, not GreaterAcadia, and, despite his having lived amongst Acadian exiles in Franceand married an Acadian exile thereheW? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab»«tab», his link to Greater Acadia is a tenuous one based on suppositions. After immigrating from France, Francois, fils and his family settled in the BatonRouge area, and there his descendants remained. Interestingly, a number of families with a similarsurname, Harbour, definitely not Acadian, also settled in South Louisiana. Judging from the the number of slaves they held in the decades before the War Between the States,some of them were as wealthy as the Acadian Arbours ofEast Baton RougeParish:
Adonegy or Adonager Harbour married Anna Dalton or Queremos. Their daughter Anna married Anglo-American John Harelson of Virginia at Baton Rouge in September 1806. Their daughter Sally married Anglo-American LouisGardner at Baton Rouge in Jan 1806.Adonager probably was Anglo-American himself.
In Jul 1850, P. H. Harbour held 11 slaves on his Ascension Parish farm.Ten years later, in Jun 1860, he held 9 slaves on his farm in Ascension's Seventh Ward.
In Aug 1850, Pleasant J. Harbour owned 47 slaves on his Pointe Coupee Parish plantation, and 34 slaves on his East Feliciana Plantation, northeast of Baton Rouge.
At the same time, John A. Harbour held 47 slaves on his East Feliciana Parish plantation.
In Jun 1860, Wm. H. Harbour owned 7 slaves on his Pointe Coupee Parish farm.
In Aug 1860, B. T. Harbour owned 8 slaves on his East Baton Rouge Parish farm.
CONCLUSION
Pierre Arbour dit Carrica of Bayonne, France, married Susanne Moreau and settled at St-Pierre-du-Nord, Île St-Jean, today's Prince Edward Island, in the early 1720s. The Arbours were among the firstEuropean settlers on the island. Francois,fils, sohe W? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab»«tab»n of Francois Arbour, père and Thérèse Descoteaux and perhaps a grandson of Pierre dit Carrica, was born at Québec in c1743 and may haveended up on Île St-Jean, from which the British may have deported himtoCherbourg, France,in 1758--the records? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»are uncertain, even about his Acadian identity. What is certain is that he came of age in France. At Le Havre, he married Marie, daughter of Acadian Joseph Henry, in Nov1765. They had five sons, two of whomdied young, and endured life in the mother country for 20 years. In 1785, they took three of their teenage sons to Louisiana aboard one of the Seven Ships from France and settled in the Baton Rouge area, whereallthree sons married Acadians. Only one ofFrancois, fils' sons, the youngest, seems to have perpetuated his line of the family. The great majority of Arbours in South Louisiana are descended from Francois, fils' grandson, Frédéric, fils, born atBaton Rouge in Dec 1803,who marriedAcadian Adeline Daigle at Baton Rouge in Jurds? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»l 1825. He and his wife had at least six sons, most of whom created families of their own in the Baton Rouge area. In the decades beforethe WarBetween the States, Frédéric, fils and his sons became successful planters. In 1850, Frédéric, fils ownes? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»d 30 slaves in East Baton Rouge Parish. A decade later, he held 56 slaves on two plantationsin East Baton Rouge and Iberville parishes. He and his sons, then, participated directly in theSouth's plantation economy. At least four Arbours, three ofthem sons of Frédéric, fils, served Louisiana in uniform during the War Between the States, one ofthem as an officer. Frédéric III, a resident of East Baton Rouge Parish, married, and the father ofseveral children, enlisted as a second lieutenantins? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»Company D of the 27th Regiment Louisiana Infantry,a front-line unit raised in Iberville Parish, in Mar 1862. He was promoted to first lieutenant the following Jun andfoughtwith his unit at Vicksburg, Mississippi, in 1862-63. After the Confederatesurrender at Vicksburg in Jul 1863, Frédéric, alongwiththousands of other Southerners, was sent home on a parole of honor. In Sep 1862, Frédéric III's younger brother Bienvenu, who also was married, enlisted at Baton Rouge in Company A of Miles'Les? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»gion Louisiana Infantry,afront-line unit raised in Orleans Parish that containeda number of soldiers from Baton Rouge. Miles' Legion served in Louisianaand was part of the Siege of Port Hudson in thespring and summer of 1863. Bienvenu missed thesiege, however. Hewas capturedat the Comite River, north of Baton Rouge, in early May 1863 and held by the Federals at Mobile, Alabama, until they paroled him at Grant's Island, near Mobile, at the end of May. Brother Octave alsoserved in CompanyAof the Miles' Legion Infantry, but his service with the unit was more praiseworthy. He, too, was married when he enlisted in CompanyA atBaton Rouge in Sep 1862. He was promoted to corporal a few weeks later, and then to fifth sergeant in Mar1863.After the disastroussurrender at Port Hudson in Jul 1863, members of Company A of the Miles' Legion served in Company I ofOgden's Regiment Louisiana Cavalry, Octave Arbour among them. He remained a sergeant and surrendered with his unit at Gainesville, Alabama, inMay1865. ArthurArbour, a young lawyer from Baton Rouge, alsoserved the Southern Confederacy in uniform,but his relationship to the Arbour brothers is not revealed in the church and civil records. In Jun 1861, at age 20, Arthur enlisted in Company Bof the 7thRegiment Louisiana Infantry, a front-line unit raised in East Baton Rouge Parish that fought gallantly in Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Arthur followed his company to Virginia, but his service there wascut short byillness or injury. He wassent to a Richmond hospital in Oct 1861, and received a medical discharge the following month. He probably returned to Baton Rouge. The War took a terrible toll on the Arbour family's economic standing.After Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation went into effect in Jan 1863, Federal forces controlling the lower Mississippi freed the slaves onevery plantation their forces could reach. This included the Arbour holdings in East Baton Rouge and Iberville parishes. Union navy gunboats shelledand burned dozens of plantations houses along the lower river. Afterthe War, the Arbours of Baton Rouge had to endure as best they could a free-labor postwar Southern economy. Dozens of Arbours can be foundtodayintheBaton Rouge area,most ofthem descendants of Frédéric the planter. The family's namealso is spelled Arbot,Arboure, Arbourg, Arboux, Hambourg, Harbourg, Harbourgh.

If he was an Acadian, why was he born in Québec? Was his father anotherson of Pierre ARBOUR dit Carrica, an early settler of Île St-Jean? Arsenault, Généalogie, 2055, does not list him with the children of Pierredit Carrica. Was Francois deporteds?20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»to France from Île St-Jean in 1758-59? He would have been 15 years old at the time of that deportation. If he was born in Québec, what compelledhim to go to Île St-Jean? Had his parents died in Canada, & he wentto the island to be reunited with hids? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»s kin, or did he follow his parents from the St Lawrence valley back to the island? His connection to Greater Acadia is based on prettythin stuff here. He may simply have been a French Canadian who went toLe Havre on his own in the early 1760s &was not an Acadian exile.
Where was St-Michel in Acadia?
Where did he & his family live in France before 1773, when he appears in Poitou? Certainly Le Havre, where he married Marie Henry in Nov 1765,& the priest who recorded the marriage noted that the couple had resided in Le Havre for 1 1/2 years. Perhaps Francois, fils lived in Cherbourg before then, where 2 young Arbours, Guillaume, born in c1749, & Chrysostôme, born in c1750, died in Dec 1758 & Jan 1759 respectively. See Hébert, D., Acadians in Exile, 12, which, unfortunately,does not give tids? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»he parents' names of the 2 deceased Arbours. Can we assume that Guillaume & Chrysostôme died from the rigors of deportation? Judging by the dates of their deaths, that's a pretty safe bet. We can only guess their kinsmen withFrancois Arbour, fils otids? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»f Québec, hence the careful language in the family history. Youngest son Louis-Joseph did not accompany his family to LA in the summer of 1785, so he probably died atNantes before Sep 1784, when the Spanish counted theAcadians in France,& Francoitids? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»s ARBOUR & his wifehad only 3 sons on the listing. Louis-Joseph would have been only 6 inSep 1784. The marriage record ofson Francisco [Francois-Henry], dated 27 Sep 1790, in BRDR, 2:20 (SGA-14, 15), says thatthe father of the groom was deceasedat the time of the wedding, so Francois would have died in his late 40s.

Wall of Names, 33 (pl. 8L), calls him Francois-Henry [ARBOURG], & lists him with his parents & 2 brothers; Arsenault, Généalogie, 2402, calls him Francois ARBOUR, & says he was b c1770; Hébert, D., Acadian Families in Exile 1785, 34-35, calls hds? 20s-e Le ssaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»im Francois-Henry, son [Francois ARBOURG's] fils, marin, age 18, onthe embarkation list, Francisco, su [Franco ARBOURG's] hijo, on the debarkation list, & Francois-Henry HARBOURG, his [Francois HARBOURG's] son, sailor, age 18, on the debarkation list, says he was in the 17th Family aboard Le Beaumont with his parents & 2 brothers, & details his marriage in LA but does not give his or his wife's parent's names or the place of marriage; BRDR, 2:20, 218 (SGA-14, 15), his marriage record, callshim Francisco ARBOUR, gives his & his wife's parents' names, says both fathers were deceased at the time of the marriage, & that the witnesses to his marriage were Jean B. DUPUY, Juan Carlos TULLIER, & Francisco Alexandro DAIGLE (his bro-in-law). See also Voorhies, J., Some Late Eighteenth Century Louisianians, 505, 526.
Interesting note: As teenagers, Francois-Henry & Jeanne sailed to LA onthe same ship; their families, in fact, are next to one another on thepassenger list of Le Beaumont, family nos. 16 & 17. The ARBOURs went to Baton Rouge with most of the other immigrants aboard Le Beaumont. TheDAIGLEs also went to Baton Rouge but by 1788 had moved to Manchac/St-Gabriel, just downriver. This did not deter young Francois-Henry from marrying Jeanne, whom he may have known, & loved, since their childhood in France. Although his marriage was recorded at the St-Gabriel church, he probably was married in the Baton Rouge district where he lived. Baton Rouge did not have a church of its own until 1793 so the priests from St-Gabriel would officiate at baptisms. . . [incomplete] . . .

Notes:

 

From the Precious Blood Cemetery Website -- South Hadley, Massachusetts(Back Section)
LAMIRANDE
Though the stone reads "Lamirandre," it actually is incorrect and should be Lamirande. While this tombstone cannot be read as it is very worn and faint, we were fortunate to obtain a correction (and an older photograph showing the stone intact) from a family member, Mr. Ed Lamirande,a great-grandson, who provided the following information on this tombstone: "I was never able to find out why the family surname was spelled incorrectly. Felix Arbour died on 3 Feb 1886, according to his Holyoke certificate of death, not March "Mars 1887." Felixwas Theodore Lamirande's father-in-law. Theodore's wife, Malvina Arbour (Picard from a previous marriage) is also buried there. Theodore died on 8 Jan 1908 and Malvina died on 19 Feb 1939. The remaining names are some of the children of Theodore and Malvina." Specialthanks to Mr. Lamirande for providing this information!
[http://www.rootsweb.com/~mahampde/cem/shadley/pb/bk/bk-557.html]

According to at least one source, Felix was born about 1805 in Marieville, StCesaire, QC, which we know now tobe incorrect.

According to the index for Felix's Death Registration, he died on 03 Mar 1886.

Notes:

 

In 1851, Vital was listed on the Farm Census, but there was no data recorded for him.

Vital's Burial Record, as translated by Scott LaVINE on 02 May 2007: "Thetenth of August, 1854, we the undersigned priest completed the burialin the cemetery of Notre Dame of St-Hyacinthe, the body of Vital Harbour, tailleur de pierres (stone mason) of this parish, spouse of Mary Colgin, deceased yesterday at theage of forty-one years. Present were Francois Gendron and Edouard Phaneuf who did not know how to sign."

From Denis ARBOUR on 25 Apr 2007: I found the death record in two different sources, one of them being a listing of the religious records pertaining to the people working on the digging the Beauharnois Canal (1842-1845). This makes me believe that our Vital (Jean-Chrysostôme's father) is not a native of the area. That he just moved there to work on the Canal.Iknow that "Jean-Chrysostôme" was a popular name in the Bellechasse and Gaspé areas but it is unseen elsewhere. Maybethis could be a clue to Vital's origins...

This is quite probable as Vital's occupationis listed in every source as mason. Many masons were no doubt employed to build the retaining walls of the canal.

From Wikipedia on 29 Apr 2007: The Beauharnois Canal is a Canadian canal located in southwestern Quebec. The canal is part of the St Lawrence Seaway. Located between the cities of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield and Beauharnois, the canal connects Lake Saint-Francis to the west (upstream) with Lake Saint-Louis to the northeast (downstream), bypassing a series of rapids on the St Lawrence River. The original Beauharnois Canal measured 15 nm (24 km) in length and was built on the south side of the StLawrence River, opening in 1845. The canal became obsolete and was superseded by the Soulanges Canal in 1899 whichranon the north side of the St Lawrence River. The present Beauharnois Canal was built between 1930-1932 on the south side of the St Lawrence River, measuring 25.7 km in length. This canal was built as part of a hydroelectric development atBeauharnois which saw a dam and power house built to take advantage of the 25 m (83 ft drop between Lake St Francis and Lake St Louis. Some ofthe electricity is used to power a large aluminum smelter. In the 1950s, the Beauharnois Canal anditstwo locks were enlarged as part of the StLawrence Seaway project.

From Scott LaVINE on 08 Jun 2007: I have slowly worked my way down the river and down the highway looking for the marriage record without luck. I also have done some research on where the Irish immigrants tended to settle when they emigrated but ithasn't helped. Interesting about this child born in 1846 . . . perhaps there are others born in the Montreal area. I also looked around Chambly as a canal on theRichelieu River was built between 1833-1843. Thought he might have found work on thatproject but no luck yet in the local churches. I wonder if he might have found his way into Ontario. The canal at Cornwall was constructed between 1834-42. Just some ideas.

Note: From SCO to ScottLAVINE on 21 May 2007: I have been trying to imagine where Vital and Mary could have married. We have him in St-Vallier from 1812 until probably at least 1827.Hethen appears in the Chateauguayarea in Jul 1843, followed closely by Beauharnois County from Aug 1843- Aug 1844. In Jan 1851, they are in Sherbrooke. In Aug 1854, they arein St-Hyacinthe. Yes, major arteries do seem to connect these areas,but it is so unusual to be so scattered in the early 1800s. From where hegrew up in St-Vallier to the burial of his second child is about 200 mi! From there to Sherbrooke is another 150 mi. Anyway, I suppose we could look at all the churches along what is now highway 55 from St-Vallier to Chateauguay
