Charles (1835 - 1871) (probably born in Canada) Matilda (b. abt. 1837) (possibly born in Canada, probably Alburg VT) Moses (abt. 1839 - 1935) (probably born in Alburg VT) Joseph (b. abt. 1841) (1850 census) (all other children born in Chesterfield NY) John (b. abt. 1843) (1850 census) Adelia (b. abt. 1845) (1850 census) Julia (b. abt. 1847) (1850 census) Maria (b. abt. 1849) (1850 census) Ellen F (1847 - 1913) (1860 census - but not 1850!) Joseph (b. abt. 1852) (1860 census, possibly with wrong age - may be same Joseph as above) Louis (1853 - 1936) Francis (Frank) Thomas (1856 - 1927) Treffle (1858 - 1865) Joseph (b. 1858) (same as Treffle?) Peter (1860 - 1912) Charles married Anastasie (Eliza) Diguette or Duquette sometime before 1856. Matilda married David Poulin 1855. Moses married Emilie (Amelia) Sawyer (Seguin) 1868. Ellen married Frank Ashley about 1869. Louis married Margaret Sawyer (Seguin) (sister to Amelia) about 1879. Frank married Edwige Mary Laramie in 1882. Peter married Sophia Charlton about 1887. Charles is sometimes listed as the Bombard who stayed south after the Civil War, married Olivia Davis, and lived in DeSoto LA. Olivia Davis was born in Alabama, and she did marry a Bombard and live in DeSoto, and he died before 1880, but it wasn't this Charles. The following people may be related, but I have found no clear evidence of what the relationship may be: There is an Edward Bombard, b. abt 1844, living in Keeseville in 1860, and probably the same Edward enlisting in the Civil War three years later, in Chesterfield. He was mustered out in 1865 in Talladega AL. There's no further record of him. Thomas Bumbard, b. abt. 1842, also enlisted in the Civil War in Chesterfield, at the same time as Edward. John LaBombard, b. abt. 1843, enlisted in Plattsburgh. There are gravestone inscriptions for Timothy B Bombard (1859-1867) and Joseph E Bombard (1854-1868), but it is not clear which Bombard family they belonged to. I have found no record of a Robert Bombard. I am still working on this information, and trying to find more. I can offer more specific details about some of this. If anyone can offer further enlightenment, please do!
