Ben was the son of Jean Baptiste Barbeau and Marie Louise Lourvier. Ben had three wives: 1) Felicita HORRELL, born 1837, died 7 Feb 1867 in Prairie du Rocher, IL 1 child - Amadee Barbeau, born 14 Feb 1862 and died 19 Aug 1930 2) Rebecca Brewer, married on 2 June 1872 no children 3) Lucie Doiron, born 26 Oct 1856 in Prairie du Rocher, IL, married 12 Sep 1879 3 children - Daniel, born 14 Jan 1880, died 11 Oct 1956 - Celeste Josephine, born 15 Jul 1882 - Theodore, born 12 Sep 1883 I have no further info on Rebecca. The genealogy of the Barbeau and Doiron families from their entrance into Randolph County, IL to the present are chronicled in "A French Connection II" by Ruth Bienvenu Menard of Red Bud, IL. I believe the cost is ~$50 for a copy of the book.
