Andy, According to Stephen White, Abraham Poirier married Agnes Belliveau, widow of Honore Lanoue. SWLR shows that Pierre who married Scholastique Babineaux was the son of Abraham and Ana Benibo. Bebibo is shown only twice in the SWLR - for the marriage entries of Pierre and Scholastique. It is apparently a misspelling of Belliveau. The entries for the baptismal records of the children of Pierre and Scholastique apparently picked up the widowed surname of Ana [Agnes] which was Lanoue [Lanoux].
