Cyndi, Wow! Thanks to you, I went to the 1860 census for St. Anne and went through it line by line. I found them! On page 287! John Ledoux, age 22, farmer, born in Canada, and Marie, age 18, born in Canada. I don't know why they weren't showing up on my searches. Now, I still need to find out for sure what Marie's last name was And who her parents were.

Here is what I found so far. Here is from the Chiniquy Ledger. I thought that he also had a previous wife. 4 Mar 1857 Jacob Ledoux Born the day before to Jean Bte Ledoux & Restitue Robich Godparents: Casimin Laplante & Marie Duchesneau 4 Jul 1858 Levy Ledoux Born 23 Jun to Jean Bte Ledoux & Restitue Robich Godparents: Marcisse Bivau(?) & Sophie Brunatre(?) 5 Feb 1860 Virginie Ledoux Born 8 Oct 1859 to Jean Bte Ledoux & Restitute Ledoux He was still having children with Restitue in 1859. Then he had this child with another wife. 5 May 1873 Ida Ledoux Born 18 Jan to Jean Bte and Matha Ledoux So I looked up the marriage. LADEAUX, JOHN CARTIER, MARTHA 06/30/1868 00B/ 00002069 KANKAKEE -And I looked for a marrage in Kankakee county with a groom whose name started with an "L" and a bride whose name started with a "P". I found this one. LEBOW, JOHN PAYAI, MARGUERITE 02/27/1859 00B/ 00000218 KANKAKEE You are looking for the surname Lebault or Lebeau or Labeau. This has the correct date of marriage. -Cyndi ==== ILSTANNE Mailing List ==== Courtesy is the key to list relationships. Please send thanks ON the list to those who have helped you.
