Thanks for the additional info. I noted that you have Louis born in Michigan in 1842 I have recorded his baptism in Berthierville, Quebec in 1844. I never saw where Louis used OBESHAW but I have seen his son Alexandre recorded as AUBUCHON but used OBESHAW later in life. Grace Marie LEVEILLE used her middle name Phebee ( FAY-BAY). She was named Grace after her Godmother. Her father Noel was the last generation in his line to use the real family name of FORCAN-FORQUIN (FORQUIN = FOR-KIN rhymes with the "Eh" that Canadians use) Another researcher supplied me with the following Louis Gonzague Joseph AUBUCHON s/o Joseph AUBUCHON-dit-DESALLIERS & Emilie Marie BOUCHER Baptized Jan 27 1844 Berthierville (Haut), Berthier, Quebec m. Apr 21 1862 St-Ignace, Mackinac, Michigan, USA Marie LEDUC Their son... Alexandre Louis Joseph AUBUCHON-OBESHAW Born Mar 28 1868 Michigan Died Oct 20 1934 m. Mar 21 1898 St-Ignace, Mackinac, Michigan, USA Grace Marie "Phebee" LEVEILLE d/o Noel Joseph FORCAN-dit-LEVEILLE and Elisabeth Marie LAUZON-LOZON ----- Original Message ----- From: <Longlakegranny@aol.com> To: <NISHNAWBE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 6:12 AM Subject: [NISHNAWBE] Descendants of May LaDuke > Descendants of Mary LaDuke > > 1 Mary LaDuke b: 16 Aug 1843 in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan d: 22 Mar > 1922 in Moran Township, Mackinac County, Michigan > .. +Louis Obeshaw b: 27 Jan 1842 in Michigan d: 27 Nov 1925 in Saint > Ignace, Mackinac County, Michigan Father: Joseph Obeshaw Mother: Mary Emilie > 'Amelia' Boucha m: 21 Apr 1862 in Saint Ignace, Mackinac County, Michigan (St. > Ignatius Church) > ......... 2 Mary Obeshaw b: 1864 in Michigan d: Bef. 1964 > ............. +Unknown Smathers b: Abt. 1862 d: Bef. 1962 m: Abt. 1884 > .................... 3 Barney Smathers b: Abt. 1886 d: Bef. 1986 > .................... 3 Cecilia Smathers b: Abt. 1888 d: Bef. 1988 > ......... 2 Adelia Mathilda Obeshaw b: 1866 in Saint Ignace, Mackinac > County, Michigan d: Bef. 1966 > ............. +Walter George 'WG' Wing b: Abt. 1864 d: Bef. 1964 m: Dec > 1887 in Saint Ignace, Mackinac County, Michigan > .................... 3 Walter Wing b: Abt. 1889 d: Bef. 1989 > .................... 3 Ida Mae Wing b: Abt. 1891 d: Bef. 1991 > .................... 3 Chester Burt 'CB' Wing b: Abt. 1893 d: Bef. 1993 > ......... 2 Alexander Louis Obeshaw b: 28 Mar 1868 in Michigan d: 1934 > ............. +Phoebe Grace Leveille b: 25 Jun 1874 in Michigan d: 18 Jul > 1923 Father: Noel Forquin Leveille Mother: Elizabeth Lozon m: Mar 1898 in > Saint Ignace, Mackinac County, Michigan > .................... 3 Hilda Ester Obeshaw b: Oct 1898 d: Bef. 1998 > ........................ +Ward Bennet b: Abt. 1896 d: Bef. 1996 m: Sep > 1927 > ............................... 4 Gerald Bennet b: Abt. 1929 > .................... 3 Lewis Clarence Obeshaw b: Jan 1901 in Saint Ignace, > Mackinac County, Michigan d: Mar 1962 in Ohio > ........................ +Freda Rankle b: Abt. 1902 d: Bef. 2002 m: 1927 > ............................... 4 Richard Obeshaw b: 1927 d: Bef. 2005 > .................... 3 Lloyd Noel Obeshaw b: 28 Feb 1903 d: 11 Mar 1975 > ........................ +Rowena A.
