They could have been married in New York. Philomene was born there. I looked on Ancestry and it might have found her in 1880 Census. Her father was Eugene and she was born around 1873 and living in Plattsburg, Clinton, NY in 1880. Other census info shows there was an 7-8 year age difference between Philomene and Elisee, too so it made some sense to me. Or, they could have married in nearby Massachusetts!

I think some of the Ponkapoag become *Praying Indians* along with some of the Native people from Natick, MA. Search for John Eliot, Praying Indians, Deer Island, i found a lot of information on this a couple of years ago. Also, Ponkapoag Tribe has a website http://www.canton.org/native/index.htm with historical information - looks good.

Glad you found it Don - I am not familiar with the book, other than that it popped up when I searched for Occuish. Search around at that google book site too - maybe you will find other books.

http://www.afgs.org/ this is the website of the American French Genealogy Society located in Woonsocket RI. If you are able to get there, you can search for yourself through the many record books they have there. If you are not able to go, you can ask the society to do the research for you. If this is strictly do it yourself, you could try the surrounding towns of Pawtucket, RI. Attleboro, MA. Manville is a village of Lincoln. Central Falls was part of Lincoln until 1895. Another possibility - could they have gone back to NY where Philomene was born? If you don't think they would have done that, look at the churches where their first few children were born. Were they all at the same place? If you can get the baptism records of these children from the church, it might possibly mention where the parents were married. Another book they have at AFGS published by Quintin is Early American Franco American Marriages of RI. Something else that might help at the AFGS is Franco-American marriages of Rhode Island that are included in the unpublished Forget Files, by Dr. Ulysse Forget, M.D Do you have their obituaries? Depending on when they died, the obits might mention where they were married. Look in the french newspapers at the Woonsocket public library. they are too late for for their marriage announcement, but maybe you would find something in their for a big anniversary if they were married that long - 25, 30, 50?

I'm trying to help my sister-in-law find a marriage record for her grandparents. We have found their census reports in R.I. for 1910, 1920, and 1930. We have found her grandfather's naturalization papers which state he came to the U.S. from Canada in September of 1880 by way of Lowell, Mass. and then R.I. when he was 11 years old. He was living in Lincoln, R.I. when he applied for citizenship at age 21. His name is ELISEE LEVESQUE, born July 30, 1869 in Canada. His wife's name is PHILOMENE BELL, born 1862-1863 in New York state. They were married about 1887. My sister-in-law has contacted the Woonsocket town clerk but they had no records but told her to contact the Central Falls clerk, which she did. They have records for Lincoln and Manville (where three of their sons were born). Unfortunately, Elisee and Philomene's marriage record was not to be found. Does anyone have any other suggestions to find an elusive marriage record in R.I.? Thanks for your help!

I was asked to post the following legal notice on the web site so that interested parties may contact the RIDOT. NOTICE OF EXCAVATION WITHIN A HISTORICAL CEMETERY The Rhode Island Department of Transportation is providing this notice of proposed exploratory excavation within a historical cemetery for the following project: Reburial of Human Remains from State Farm Cemetery, Cranston to State Institution Cemetery No. 2, also known as Cranston Historical Cemetery No. 61, Cranston and Warwick State Institution Cemetery No. 2/Cranston Historical Cemetery No. 61 has been selected by RIDOT as the site to relocate human remains removed in the summer and fall 2006 from the State Farm Cemetery for poor and indigent persons. The remains of 67 individuals were removed from the State Farm Cemetery (at Route 37 right-of-way and rear of 100 Sockanosset Cross Road) by RIDOT under a Cranston City Council permit in order to allow the construction of a drainage outfall to correct severe drainage erosion problems. State Institution Cemetery No. 2 is located at Pontiac Avenue and Knight Street in Cranston and Warwick. This cemetery presently contains the marked graves of 638 individuals and an additional 577 individuals are not marked nor is there any definitive information on where the concrete vaults were placed. In order to ensure that the 67 sets of human remains to be reburied in State Institution Cemetery No. 2 are not interred in an area already occupied by human remains, a cemetery delineation (or exploratory excavation) will be conducted. The cemetery delineation is one of the conditions for securing a permit from the Cranston City Council for reburial of the human remains. The cemetery delineation will consist of careful machine scraping of area soils at the southern perimeter of the existing concrete grave markers to determine if unmarked graves exist there and to determine an appropriate space to accommodate the re-interment of the 67 sets of human remains. The machine scraping will be monitored by RIDOT archaeological consultants. The cemetery delineation will be conducted under a permit to be issued by the Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission. It is anticipated that the cemetery delineation will be conducted in August 2007. The results will be incorporated into the reburial plan that RIDOT will submit to the Cranston City Council for approval. This notice is published in accordance with Cranston City Ordinance No. 2000-42 and RI General Laws, Title 23, Chapter 18, et seq., concerning the proposed alteration of ground surface within 25 feet of the exterior boundaries of a historic cemetery and notification to interested parties. Interested parties may contact the RIDOT person listed below for further information on the reburial project: Mr. Edward S. Szymanski, P.E.
