Tony, Rockwell Alexandre Welcome's trade was a Blacksmith and on October 1st, 1873 he was working on a horse and suffered a kick to the head which resulted in is death at an early age. He was buried at the Old Catholic Cemetery in Plattsburg. He had 14 brothers and sisters. Rockwell Jr. was the oldest of 8 children born May 02, 1860 in Plattsburg and when Rockwell was a young boy living in New York he was sailing on an ice boat on Lake Champlain and he lost control of the boat in the wind and it overturned and his left forearm went under the steel blade runner causing a severe gash to the arm. The injury got infected and the lower arm had to be amputated. This prevented Rockwell from following in the family trade of Blacksmithing. Rockwell apprenticed to be a carriage painter at a wagon works in upstate New York. He also lost two fingers from his only hand. Rockwell married Mary Ann Oulighan b. September 21, 1870, Halifax, NS, daughter of James Oulighan and Jane Mitchell on August 22, 1889 at St. Jean Baptiste Church, Lowell, Ma. In 1893 he worked for George M. Dole Carriage and Sign Painters at 23 West Third St. in Lowell and would come home after varnishing and painting carriages all day, Mary Ann would have to wash his "hand" before dinner since he could not easily do this on his own. I can send more details, children, dates, if you want. Brian

Brian, You gave us some new info. We didn't know Dorimene's father's name. Rog

I am a descendent of Rockwell Alexandre Welcome son of Claudius Fontaine dit Bienvenu. Rockwell married Dorimene Marie Panneton 20, Nov. 1859 Saint Peter's Church, Plattsburg, NY. She was the d. of Francis Xavier Panneton and ?? Does anyone have more Panneton (Penton) info? I also have a few stories about this family. Thanks, Brian

Brian, I don't have any other info available. Rog

Hi Rog, Yes, Do you know where Mary Ann Dufresne was born and where she died and any more info on her parents? I also found that Claudius maybe had another wife, Marinda, b. abt 1821? Can this be right? I also need info on Marguerite Beaudry. Thanks, Brian

Brian O., Charles Claude Fontaine-Bienvenu was the son of Gabriel Archange Fontaine-Bienvenu & Marguerite Beaudry. Mary Anne Dufresne info is correct. Need any more info? Rog

Corinne BASTIEN b 8 May 1874 St. Guillaume, PQ, d 24 May 1928 New Bedford, MA; married 1901 in New Bedford to Victor Jacques. Corinne was daughter of David BASTIEN (son of David and Aurelie [Desjarlais] BASTIEN) and Marie Philomene GENEREUX who was b 26 Dec 1843. They married in 1862 at St. Guillaume, PQ. Marie Philomene was the daughter of Jean Baptiste GENEREUX and Marie FONTAINE dit BIENVENUE. Marie FONTAINE was daughter of Jean Baptiste FONTAINE and Marie FONTAINE dit BIENVENUE. We would like to discover the ancestry of Jean Baptiste GENEREUX and the FONTAINES as mentioned above. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Tony, Yes. I have a fair amount on one of his brothers, including a picture or two, plus some postcards and other fun stuff like that. I can give you a little bit on the rest of the brothers, but I have this as second-hand information from a lookup done by a woman on the Quebec Genealogical Society's page. I don't know if I have the source or not, but I will try to get it. Let me know if you're interested!
