I am looking for the parents of Amable Lafleur(born circa 1807) in St John's, QC. He married Jane Salls in 1837(possibly in Alburg, Vermont) and then after her death in 1851, he married Amelia Metivier. He lived and farmed in Sutton, QC until his death in 1899. He's buried in Grace Church Cemetery, Sutton with his two wives and two of their sons, James Lafleur and Louis/Lewis Lafleur. I've been given a lead that the parents could have been another Amable Lafleur, with wife Adelaide Larrivé. Adelaide's father appears to be a Charles Larrivé. Amable's line may run up into Gervais Meunier Lafleur. Does anyone have anything on this? Thanks, Bob Lafleur

I have been away from my research for awhile but could anyone direct me to a census for St Armand-1810-1830 for the above couple? Is there something on line that I could access? I am not a member of Ancestry.com at this time so I can't use that source. I have a deed showing this husband and wife purchased land in St Armand in 1810 and I would like to find out more information about their children. I suppose finding a marriage record would be hopeless. Thanks for any advice! Audrey

Hi Jacki, Your key board is doing funny things. Thought you would like to know. Ernie.........Ontario............Canada =================================== HI ERNIE, If you are having trouble reading my e-mail to this list - may I suggest you check the archives of our list. My e-mail is fine there. I send all items out in TIMES NEW ROMAN but the font is much different and looks awful when it comes back to me from the list. (I wonder if this is because I have AOL?) OR, are you referring to the hilarious GOOGLE English translation of that HENRY SAWYER obituary? A kind person who subscribes to our list and is a former teacher sent me a GREAT translation of that obituary for poor HENRY SAWYER and I changed over to that FAR SUPERIOR TRANSLATION & immediately posted it in my FTM.

The census of Farnham Township, Shefford County, Quebec for 1842 is the last that I find my great-great grandparents, James Semple and Jean Hamilton Semple. My question is, what cemetery might have been used for their burial? I have checked several in Shefford County, but have not found them listed. James was born circa 1772 and Jean in 1777. The family was non-Catholic, probably Anglican. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Barbara Sample Schuler

I have one Olney. Lydia Olney wife of Joshua Turner who was born 1726 and died January 9, 1813. probably in Rhode Island.. I believe he was an ancestor of my great great grandfather Olney Turner but have not been able to prove it yet. Olney Turner's parents were Joshua Turner and Anna Tanner of Rhode Island. Joshua's parents are shown as William Turner b. 1730 and Anna Wescott, of Rhode Island. This William is a brother of the Joshua Turner that married Lydia Olney. And I believe but have not yet been able to prove that my great great great great grandfathers were were Joshua Turner b. 1726 and Lydia Olney Frank Allen . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Carr" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, December 04, 2004 6:48 PM Subject: [QC-ETANGLO] Roll Call - McKenzie & Olney > Looking for info on any Olney in Eastern Townships. plus... > Malcolm & Janet (Jennet) McKenzie, Leeds, Megantic Co.

Cindy: I have a Phelps mystery you might be able to shed some light on. I would like to figure out who a Catherine Phelps of Stanbridge is. A 12th Jany 1807 Notarial record by Leon Lalanne positively identifies her as Adam Schoolcraft's wife by her second marriage:- "That the Estate whereof the said Adam Schoolcraft was pofsefsed at the day of his decease, being (besides the remaining part of the aforesaid Lot of Land) inconsiderable & its small ~~~ [MN5: which were hardly adequate to her support and maintenance of the children he left which ~~~ were in number five by her marriage with him and two by her former marriage] have not and cannot yet enable her to make the disbursments necefsary and incident to the taking of the steps directed by the Laws for the difsolution of the Community which existed between her and her said late husband ..." From that and later documents one can show that the children by Adam were born between about 1799 and 1805 suggesting her marriage to Adam was around 1798. Two children by a prior marriage, allowing a short gap, suggests her first marriage was probably in the early 1790s and that she might have been born somewhere between 1760 and 1775. (Adam was born in 1756.) I spent an afternoon studying the Phelps charts and data at Brome County Historical Society and determined there was no _explicit_ sign of her in that data. (Some age gaps existed that might accommodate a daughter.) However, I was told that that group were not the only Phelps families to come into the region. To have met and married Adam in 1798/99 she would have been in St. Armand or Stanbridge at that time. I have not been able to isolate the specific date when Adam left the Bay shores and actually went onto his grant in Stanbridge. I do suspect it was earlier than the grant date of 1801. Catherine was alive at least through 9th Mar 1839 when she transferred arrears in a life rent (due from her son by Adam) to Tilly Blakely. Hopefully, the Blakely connection might offer further clues. She is not explicitly enumerated in the 1842 census. > -----Original Message----- > From: Alger and Walcott Family [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Saturday, December 04, 2004 07:15 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [QC-ETANGLO] Roll Call: Blakely, Phelps of Missisquoi Co. > > My line overlaps with Sandy's Blakely line (and peripherally > connect's with Pam's Coreys and Tryons) Fred Blakely was also > very helpful to me.

Hi Pam and David I just found another probable Boomhower - Amelia Barnhower, in my 3600 name FTM database. Amelia married Levi Nelson Mandigo probably about 1810 in the Stanbridge or Noyan area. They had a number of children including Amasa Mandigo who married my great grand father's Sylvester Jackson Allen's sister Martha Melissa Allen, and Hannah Mary Mandigo who married Sylvester's brother William Hamilton Allen. Levi Nelson Mandigo's parents were Judah Mandigo and Sarah Elizabth Larkin married circa 1793. I have no information about Amelia Barnhower (Boomhower) Frank Allen Frank Allen VA3FA, Amateur Cellist 1735 Highway 15 RR #3 Elgin, Ontario K0G 1E0

My name is Stella Woodard Samson and I live in Seattle, WA. Since 3/4 of my grandparents were born in Quebec, I have a couple of brick walls there. I am also on the VT-Orleans list as my mom was born in Newport, VT. The towns involved were Sutton,Bolton,Knowlton,St. Therese and St. Laurent; at least that¹s what I can remember off the top of my head. My stubbornest brick wall is my Great Great Grandfather Samuel Woodard who lived in Sutton and was married to Harriett Crandall. He was born about 1800 in NY and moved to Canada.

I need the Willard line of Samuel Willard who was warned out of Highgate, Vermont 12 April 1813 together with his wife Sally and children Curtis and Maranda. Death and census records show both children were born in Canada East about 1806 and 1811 respectively. Sally is in Franklin, Franklin County land records in 1821, 1826 and 1838. A Samuel Willard is in the land records of Swanton, Franklin County \in January 1807. I believe he was cousin to other Willards in Swanton/Highgate who settled there from Chesterfield, Cheshire County, New Hampshire, but can't make that connection, and can't connect that Samuel to Samuel the husband of Sally.
