That date is wrong unfortunately this is the same individual who was baptized 19 DEC 1743 -----Original Message----- From: Gordon Bonnet <jaggy227@fltg.net> So this Charles David died in infancy? http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=lcompagna1&id=I33999 I thought that one looked promising — 1732 is the year Charles Pontiff was born, if his age at death was correct. cheers, g On Apr 4, 2017, at 7:19 PM, Paul L LeBlanc via ACADIAN <acadian@rootsweb.com> wrote: The only Charles David in Quebec who did not die in Infancy. He marries Angelique Lecuyer in 28 Sep 1767 who dies 27 Mar 1797 in Laprairie. I think we can stop looking in Quebec. So the Acadian David dit Pontiff appears to be a branch of the Quebec family. Think I will check the Acadians in Exile next. .

Given that Charles Pontiff died in 1832 and was said to be “100 years old,” his birth year COULD be off by 11 years. I might be grasping at straws…. but it’s the closest Charles I’ve found to the right birth year. cheers, g > On Apr 4, 2017, at 8:53 PM, Paul L LeBlanc via ACADIAN <acadian@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > > That date is wrong > > unfortunately this is the same individual who was baptized 19 DEC 1743 > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Gordon Bonnet <jaggy227@fltg.net> > > > So this Charles David died in infancy? > > > http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=lcompagna1&id=I33999 > > > I thought that one looked promising — 1732 is the year Charles Pontiff was born, if his age at death was correct. > > > cheers, > > > g > > > > On Apr 4, 2017, at 7:19 PM, Paul L LeBlanc via ACADIAN <acadian@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > > The only Charles David in Quebec who did not die in Infancy. > > He marries Angelique Lecuyer in 28 Sep 1767 who dies 27 Mar 1797 in Laprairie. > > I think we can stop looking in Quebec. > > So the Acadian David dit Pontiff appears to be a branch of the Quebec family. > > Think I will check the Acadians in Exile next. > . > > > > > > . > ------------------------------- > To check our Archive > http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/acadian/ > ------------------------------- > To subscribe to the list, please send an email to ACADIAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'subscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message.

A rule of thumb Fot those over 40-50, I expect age to be overstated at death especially if spouce predecesed and/or age ends in Zero. 2nd related rule for census ages of wives are adjusted to be a couple of years younger than husband especially if older. -----Original Message----- From: Gordon Bonnet <jaggy227@fltg.net> Given that Charles Pontiff died in 1832 and was said to be “100 years old,” his birth year COULD be off by 11 years.
