Here is what I reciveid from my cousin, Nancy Fruge. I have seen her name as Fregis, Freget, and Fruger. Chris My source for her death is Op Ch vol 1-A. [Marie Fregis "a West" buried Wednesday, June 29, 1796.] I don't have a birth date, but show she was born in Maryland. Don't know where I got that.

Cousins Some interesting records First Marie's burial as "wife" of West not Fruge. 2nd Identified as grandmother and Maryland reference. Any others? Next bunch of Robert & his different wives. Has anyone sorted them out? My gut says she may be the Marie Lejeune Could Fre.... be her mother's family name?

Wow, she did have a lot of names... Marie Olivier, LeJeune, Fredger... or Anne Fisher??? Of course, not all of these may be referring to the same person -- it's hard to tell. My gut is that LeJeune is a dit name. From the Hilaire Courville and Marie Louise Courville records it's evident that Marie Olivier and Marie Fredger, at least, refer to the same person; both are Eugenie Marie West's mother's name. It's also possible that the Marie Fregir (or whatever) who married Roger West and the Marie Fruge who married Joseph Fruge were the same person; the West children were born 1783 and (baptized in)1789, and the youngest Fruge child (Angelique) was born in 1789. If Roger West died in early 1789 it's possible that she remarried to Joseph Fruge. But then, that makes it odd that on her death record, she was called "à West" -- by that time she'd have been married to Joseph Fruge for seven years, and you'd think his name would take precedence. Anyone have any ideas about this? cheers, g On Jul 21, 2010, at 10:28 PM, pleblan@aim.com wrote: > Cousins > > Some interesting records > First Marie's burial as "wife" of West not Fruge. > 2nd Identified as grandmother and Maryland reference. > Any others? > > Next bunch of Robert & his different wives.
