I'm just curious, was there more than one Benoit family maybe unrelated? My great grandfather was Henry Benoit and his wife was Louise Cyre, they had 12 children between 1881 and 1904, the youngest, Albert Benoit was my grandfather. I've found a Napolean Benoit family in both census and cemetary records in Cloud , Kansas but was told by relatives that there is no relation. I found this odd since both families seemed to have come from the same areas in Canada, Illinois and then Kansas. Maybe you could shed some light on this. Is Benoit maybe a common name like Smith?
