Hi Debby Jean, I don't see any connection but this is quite a coincidence. You ancestor Joseph Roy born abt 1834 married Pauline Hudon in 1857 in Bangor ME. My gg grandfather was Cleophas F King/Roy born about 1835 someplace in Quebec. He married in 1857 Sophia Bennet/Benoit in Sommersworth NH. Sophia was born in Bangor ME about 1843. Sophia's parents were Joseph Benoit and Sophia Cotty. I also believe the Joseph Benoit's father was Charles Benoit. Question: Does anybody know if Bangor had a significant French Canadian population in the 1840 and 1850's? Charlie King gg grandson of Cleophas F King/Roy born 1835 someplace in Quebec Debby Jean wrote: I have mysteries in Canada! JOSEPH ROY dit DESJARDINS (GARDNER ) b. abt.1834 in ??Canada. m. PAULINE HUDON BEAULIEU 1857 in Bangor, Maine. I would REALLY LOVE to know his birth place and parents. Pauline's parents are JEAN BAPTISTE HUDON BEAULIEU and EMILIE DIONNE. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
