Bio from Facebook 28 Feb 2010:
28 Feb 1755 -- Michel ARBOUR V is the oldest person we have yet profiled here, having been born 255 years ago. Born in St-Francois-de-la-Riviere-du-Sud, QC, Michel was the eldest son and 2nd child of Michel ARBOURIV and Marie-Louise BOUTIN. As the V attests, Michel is a direct descendant ofour immigrant ancestor Michel ARBOUR. Michel V married on 26 Aug 1793, to Ursule PROULX and they had one daughter, Marie-Barbe ARBOUR,before Ursule's untimely death. At some point after his first marriage,Michel moved from St-Francois to St-Gervais, QC, located in Bellechasse County. It was here that he married for a second time to Marie-Anne LABRECQUE on 03 Feb 1807. She bore him 4 children between 1807 and 1813- one of whom was his heir Michel ARBOUR VI. Michel VI, in turn, had ason named Michel VII. Michel VII never married or had children so the direct Michel ARBOUR descendancy ended with his death in 1904, some 263years after it began. Michel ARBOUR V and Marie-Anne LABRECQUE both died some time before 1861, but it is unclear exactly when or where.

Note added on 25 Sep 2010:
We now know why we have foundnothing further about Michel in Quebec. Hemay have died in Maine. In fact, this man has a wonderful, interestingstory. He is the only known ARBOUR to have served for the United States of America during the RevolutionaryWar. He must have been quite angry with the British in order to side with the Americans. Perhaps we willnever know his true motivation. In any case, here is some of the documentation regarding his service.

A little more about Michel's two commanding officers . . .

JAMES LIVINGSTON
Colonel James Livingston (27 March 1747-- 9 March 1832) was born in theFrench province of Canada to New York-born parents. He was living in Quebec, as Canada was known following the French and Indian War, when the American Revolutionary War broke out. He was responsible for raising and leading the 1st Canadian Regiment of the Continental Army during the invasion of Canada, and continued to serve in the war until 1781. He retired to Saratoga, New York, where he served as a state legislator and raised a family of five children.
American Revolutionary War -- Livingston was living in Chambly, workingas a grain merchant, when the invasion of Quebec began in September 1775. As early as August, he had been in contact with General Philip Schuyler, mostly through the efforts ofJohnBrown, an Americanspy.On 18August, he sent a messenger to Schuyler at Fort Ticonderoga, presumably withinformation on British military readiness at Fort Chambly and Fort Saint-Jean; unfortunately, this messenger destroyed the message, fearing hemight be captured withit. General Richard Montgomery (who was marriedto one of Livingston's relatives), who was in command of Ticonderoga at the time, sent John Brown back to Livingston. On the 28th, they sent word back to Montgomery withnewsthat spurred him tobegin the invasion: the British had almost completed ships capable of threatening the American naval superiority on Lake Champlain. Up to, and then also following, the arrival of the American forces at Île aux Noix inearlySeptember,Livingston was active in the Chambly area, raising local support for the Americans. On 15 September, he reported to Schuyler that militiaunder his control had cut off Fort Chambly from communication with Montreal, and that Brownand Ethan Allenwere raising additional troops and guarding the southern shore of the Saint Lawrence River. Forces under his command, numbering about 200, participated in the capture of Fort Chambly on 18 October, along with militia under Brown's command. On20 November, Montgomery made him a colonel in the Continental Army, and gave him command of the 1st Canadian Regiment, consisting mainly of the troops he had recruited. This regiment then served at the battle of Quebec in December1775, andtheensuing retreat. They later saw action in the Saratoga campaign, including the relief of the siege of Fort Stanwix in August 1777, both Battles of Saratoga, and the Battle of Rhode Island. Livingston was in command of Verplanck's PointontheHudson River in September 1780, when he played a crucial role in the unmasking of Benedict Arnold's treachery. While on guard duty, his troops fired on the Britishsloop of war Vulture, forcing that vessel to retreat southwards. Thisshiphadbrought Major John Andréto meet with General Arnold. Sincethe ship was driven off, André was forced to attempt travel by land to New York; he was captured with incriminating papers in his possession. André as hanged asa spy, and Arnold, hisplot discovered,managed to escape to the British lines. Livingston retired from the Continental Army on 1 January 1781. In recognition of his service, he was granted 3,500 acres (14 km2) of land near where Tyre, New Yorkistoday. In 1801, Congressawardedhim another 1,280 acres (5.2 km2) of land near the modern location of Columbus, Ohio.

MOSES HAZEN
Moses Hazen (1 June 1733 -- 5 February 1803) was a Brigadier General inthe Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. Born intheProvince of Massachusetts Bay, he saw action in the French and Indian War with Rogers' Rangers before settling outside Montreal, Quebec, where he became involved inthe American invasionof Quebec early in the American Revolutionary War, servingin theContinental Army. He went on to lead his own regiment (the 2nd Canadian, or Congress' Own) throughout thewar. He was also a land developer, with propertyinterests in Quebec, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York.
Revolutionary War -- ContinentalArmy Arrives -- At the start of the Revolutionary War in 1775, Hazen was living on half-pay in Saint-Jean, dueto his prior service during the French and Indian War. When Benedict Arnold raided Fort Saint-Jean on 18 May, Hazen reported the newsof that raid (as well as the captureof Fort Ticonderoga) first to the military authorities in Montreal, and then to Governor Guy Carleton in Quebec, before returninghome to consider the consequences the conflict might have on him and his lands.TheAmerican invasion of Quebec arrived near his home at Saint-Jean on 6 September. On that day, Hazen met with General Philip Schuyler, explaining to himthat Fort Saint-Jean was well-defended and unlikely to be taken by siege, and that the local habitantswere unlikely to assist the American effort. This gloomy portrait led Schuyler to consider retreating; but the arrival ofadditional American troops,and a more optimistic assessment from James Livingston, a grain merchant livingnear Chambly, encouraged the Americans to renew the attack. Livingston went on to form the 1st Canadian Regiment in November 1775.
Imprisonment andRelease -- On 17 September, Brigadier General Richard Montgomery, now commanding the American forces, beganto besiege Fort St Jean. The next day, adetachment of American forces under the command ofJohn Brown arrested Hazen north of the fort. However, aBritish sortie from the fort forced Brown's men to retreat; Hazen ended up in British hands.MajorCharles Preston,the British commander, was mistrustful of Hazen, and sent him to Montreal under the guard of Claude de Lorimier. BrigadierGeneral Richard Prescott, unhappy with Hazen's explanations of his movements, imprisoned him.He was held in poor conditionsfor54 days. Following the fall of Fort St Jean, the British withdrew from Montreal,transporting prisonerson one ofthe many ships used in the evacuation. Most of this British fleet was captured by the Americans, whoreleased Hazen and other politicalprisoners who had supported them. Unhappy with the treatment he received by the British, Hazen joinedthe American forces, which were on their way to Quebec City. He did this in spite of thefact that the Americans had donesignificant damage to hisestate duringthe siege,plundering the estate for supplies, and using his house as abarracks.
Service in Quebec (Battle of Quebec (1775)) -- Hazen served in the battle of Quebec, and was one of two men (the other was EdwardAntill) sent toreportthe devastating loss to the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia. TheCongress, in recognition for his efforts, gave Hazen a commission as a colonel, leading the Continental Army's 2nd Canadian Regiment, also called Congress' OwnRegiment or Hazen's Regiment. (Antill wascommissioned the regiment's Lieutenant Colonel.) Hazen was initially offered a position as Brigadier General, but he refused, requesting instead a Colonel's commission, and indemnification against losses caused by the conflict. (His property had already been significantlydamagedbythe Americanactionaround St. Jean.) Hazen was fortunate in arriving in Philadelphia before John Duggan, one of Livingston's captains, to whom Benedict Arnold hadearlier promised the commission for the 2ndCanadian. Hazen and Antill returned to Quebec, where Hazen was stationed at Montreal while Antill recruited men for the regiment. Hazen was briefly in command of the defenses of Montrealfor the Americans,from late March tomid-April1776, when General David Wooster took command of the Americanforces outside Quebec, and Benedict Arnold assumed command of the Montrealgarrison. During the time he was in command, Hazen dispatched Timothy Bedel and 390 men tofortify TheCedars, about 40 miles(64 km) upriver from Montreal; these forces surrendered to a British-Native force duringthe Battle of The Cedars in May.
Trouble with Arnold (Battle of The Cedars) -- Following Arnold's assumption ofcommand at Montreal,Hazen's regiment was assigned to garrison duty atFort Chambly.Hazen (andlikely his men) were called as reinforcements to assist in the American response to the action at The Cedars. In council, Hazen and Arnold had a heated exchange over what actions to take,which, in Arnold's opinion, bordered on insubordination. Arnold had previously held a high opinion of Hazen, writing that he was "a sensible, judicious officer, and well acquainted with this country". During theAmerican retreat from Quebec inMayand June1776, Hazenand Arnold were embroiled in a dispute that led to charges and counter-charges, courts martial and other hearings, lasting into 1779. At issuewere supplies thatArnold had ordered seized from merchants in Montreal andsent toChamblyfor eventual shipment south as part of the retreat. Hazen, in charge ofthe facilities at Chambly, refused to sign for the goods, as he recognized them as the property of friends in Montreal. In the ensuing retreat, mostof thesegoods were plunderedand lost. Arnold wanted to immediately court-martial Hazen for failing to follow orders, but the arriving British army delayed any such activity until the army's return to Fort Ticonderoga. Arnold's opinion ofHazen clearly changed;he wrote, "This isnot the first or last order Col. Hazen has disobeyed. I think him a man of too much consequence for the post he is in." Hazen's court martialwas held on 19 July 1776; he was honorably acquitted. However,there were irregularities in the proceedings(thejudge advocate was the same officer who had delivered the goods from Montreal to Chambly, so he did not testify), and Arnold continued to attack Hazen afterwards. In December 1776 anotherinquiry was held, andHazen wasagain cleared of anywrongdoing. Hazen then countercharged Arnold with the plundering of the Montreal merchants; Arnold was not cleared of these charges until 1779, when he was already considering changing sides to the British.
Building HisRegiment -- Hazen's regiment, which was significantly reduced in size by the retreat from Quebec, was assigned first to Ticonderoga, and then to Albany, in the summer and fall of 1776, before being orderedto winter quarters atFishkill, New York. During thistime, Hazen continuedrecruiting, receiving permission from Congress to recruit anywhere in the United States. In the northern states he ran into difficulties, as those states were havingtrouble filling their own regimental lines; hewas often outbid by other recruiters. By June 1777, the regiment reached about 700 members, out of an authorized strength of 1,000. The cultural differences between the original Quebec enlisteesand the new recruits from theThirteen Colonies was a regular source of friction withintheregiment. As a result, Hazen kept the French-speakers in separate companies. Hazen also submitted to Congress a claim for damages to his estate in Quebec. The original bill was for $11,363;Congress paid $2,595in October 1776.
PhiladelphiaCampaign (Battle of Staten Island, Battle of Brandywine, and Battle of Germantown) -- In May 1777, Hazen's regiment was ordered tojoin the main army at Princeton, where it was active in the Philadelphia campaign as part of JohnSullivan'sbrigade. Someof Hazen's companies (but not Hazen himself) participated in the Battle of Staten Island. Hazen's command during the Battle of Brandywine included the northern endof the Americanline; thisposition was one ofthose flanked by the British in their attack. Hazen's regiment lost 4 officers and 73 men in the battle. In the Battle of Germantown, Hazen commanded a brigade thatincluded in addition to his own regiment,the 2nd,4th,and6th Maryland Regiments. They formed part ofSullivan's columnwhenit marched on the town; hisregiment lost 3 officers and 19 men in the engagement.
Bayley-Hazen Road Proposed-- Hazen, ever since his returnto the United Statesin 1776, hadmaintained a constant stream ofcommunications with Congress, primarilyon the subject of Canada.[41] In January 1778, these communications bore some fruit, when, with French assistance, planning for aninvasion of Canada began. Hazen was assignedthe job of deputy quartermaster for this operation. However, the planningwas beset by supply difficulties, and never got off the ground. It was ultimately cancelledby Congress in March 1778. This failure did not deter Hazen from offering anew route for invadingCanada. This routewent from Newbury, where Hazen owned land and knew the area, to Saint Francis, Quebec. On 12 July, Hazen departed Newbury to scout the route. By 25 July, he hadreturnedto White Plains; the effort was abandoned forthe time beingbecause themanpower was needed in the New York area. Plans for possible attacks against Quebec based on routes departing from the Newburyarea were againcontemplatedin thefall of 1778,but Washington continued toresist the idea.
Construction work on the road (Bayley Hazen MilitaryRoad) -- In the spring and summer of 1779, Hazen's regiment and that of Timothy Bedel worked on constructionof the Bayley Hazen Military Road, once again withtheeventual goal of launching an invasion. Part ofthe road, between Newbury and Peacham had been constructed in 1776 byJacob Bayley. Hazen supervised the development ofthe road up to whatis now called Hazens Notch in northern Vermont. Work was discontinued on the road in August after word was received that the British were preparing a military force atSaint-Jean to attempt capture of the construction crew. General Washingtonhad neverintended to send an invasion along this route; theentireworkswas a ruse to divert Britishattention, and deter them from launching an invasion. Washington wrote toCongress thatthe work "was for the purpose of exciting jealousies at Quebec and atthe Enemy's posts on theSt Lawrence, and ofmaking a diversion in favor of the late expedition under general Sullivan ... this very happilysucceeded".
Service Around New York-- Hazen and his regiment spent the winter at Washington's main encampmentin Morristown, New Jersey. There Hazen was again involved in litigation; he was rejected for serviceon a court martial considering charges against Benedict Arnold dueto their previous confrontations, and he also opened complaints of supplymismanagement during the summer's roadbuilding activities. A detailed review of the army inthe spring of 1780 by Baron von Steuben led to the recommendation thatthe regimentsof Hazenand Livingston be merged, as Livingston's had shrunk to103 men. Hazen and Livingston had a political tussle over seniority; while Hazen lost the claim toseniority, he ended up in command of the combined regiment. In January 1780 the regimentwas involved in a failed attackon Staten Island; word of the operation leaked to the British.Hazen's regiment was then transferred to the brigade of Enoch Poor. Bythe time thetransfer was effected,Hazen was given command of the entire brigade,although repeatedrequests he hadmade for promotion to brigadier generalwere rejected. During the summer the brigade was relocated tothe West Point area. While en route, Hazen allowed his men to stopfor water, breaking the army column. VonSteubenordered Hazen's arrest for this transgression of military discipline. Hazen was acquitted, and promptly countercharged von Steuben with behavior unbecoming an officer andgentleman; von Steuben apologized. Hazen's regiment was garrisoned opposite West Point that fallwhen British Major John André was captured and General Arnold defected. One hundred of Hazen's men, includinghis nephew, BenjaminMooers, witnessed André'shanging.
Yorktown-- On 29June 1781, Hazenwas promotedto Brigadier Generaland assigned command of a brigade under Lafayette during the Siege of Yorktown. Hazen's brigade served on the right of the line, andwas deeply involvedin the 14 October battles for theredoubts. Following the British surrender,Hazen and his unit weregivenprisoner guard duty at Lancaster, Pennsylvania. While on this duty, a misstep by Hazen caused a minor diplomatic incident, known as the "AsgillAffair". The British accused an American soldier of spying, and werethreatening to hang him. GeorgeWashington threatened to hang a British soldier if this happened, and instructed Hazen to choose an officer of similar rank. The man he chose by lot,Charles Asgill, should have been ineligible for selection due to the terms of the Yorktown surrender.The accused American was eventually acquitted, but Asgill's plight drew the attention of Marie Antoinette; Washington received a letter from theFrench foreign minister asking for a pardon. During the winterof 1781-2 Hazen also took time off for personal business. Among his dealings was a partnership with Timothy Bedel to acquire land along the military road they had built in Vermont.
After the War -- After thewar, GeneralHazen, unable to returntoQuebec, received a grant ofland in northern New York. He was active for many years on behalf of the men who served under him and their families, especially thosethat originally camefromQuebec, in their questfor compensation for their losses. He also continued his litigiousways -- hewas involved in an ongoing string of legal actions until his death in 1803. He died in Troy, New York where he was buried. His nephew, Benjamin Mooers, was ultimatelyresponsible for untangling many of Hazen's affairs. On 26 May 1828, Congress authorized a payment of $3,998.81 to Hazen's legal representatives in compensation for the half-pay lost to him when he joinedthe American forces.

Courtesyof Denis ARBOURfrom "HistoirePopulaire duQuébec," written byJacques Lacoursière, a collection of very well written history books. In those books, one can find some stories involving an ARBOUR. One of them, I am sure now, is about our Michel ARBOUR:

From Volume 2, page31:
"Les Français sefont sans doute des illusions sur les sentimentsdes Canadiens à l'égard de l'ancienne mère patrie. La mort du roi Louis XVI a prévenu plusieurs habitants contre les révolutionnaires. Mais ilen demeure quelques-uns qui refusent toujours de se soumettre au roi d'Angleterre, tel Michel Arbour, de Saint-François-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud,dans la régiondeBellechasse. L'évêqueJean-François Hubert écrit à son curé le 13 août 1793 : Si le nommé Arbour persiste dans ses anciens sentiments et ne veut pas reconnaître le roi d'Angleterre pourson légitime souverain, et luiêtre soumis, il nepourra être admis àaucun des sacrements de l'Église qui,conformément à la loi de Dieu, nous prescrit cette soumission."

English Translation:
"The French probably have illusions about the feelings of the Canadianswith respectto the former mother country. The death of King Louis XVI warned several residents against the revolutionaries. Butthere remains some who still refuse to submitto the King of England, as Michel Arbour, of Saint-François-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud, in the Bellechasse region. Bishop Jean-François Hubert wrote to his pastor on August 13, 1793: « Ifthe appointed Arbour persists with his old feelings and does not recognizethe King of England as his legitimate sovereign, and submit to Him, he will not be allowed to receive any of the sacraments of the Church which, according to the law of God, commands us this submission. »"

Fromemail to Denis ARBOURon 29 Sep 2010: For some reason, I did not have the burialfor Michel. But I did look it up. Do you wish a copy? I think it says that he died on 19 Feb 1835. But unlike other burial entries, it does not saywhere he lived. Furthermore, hiswife is listed as Marie-Anne LEBREC,which should either bethelate Marie-Anne LEBREC . . . or he lied to the USGovernment. Take your pick. Ok, nowI have found it . .. Michel lied to the US Government! Marie-Anne d/bd 27/29 Jan 1841 St-Gervais. Want to seea copy of this one, too?

Notes:

 

In 1851, Vital was listed on the Farm Census, but there was no data recorded for him.

Vital's Burial Record, as translated by Scott LaVINE on 02 May 2007: "Thetenth of August, 1854, we the undersigned priest completed the burialin the cemetery of Notre Dame of St-Hyacinthe, the body of Vital Harbour, tailleur de pierres (stone mason) of this parish, spouse of Mary Colgin, deceased yesterday at theage of forty-one years. Present were Francois Gendron and Edouard Phaneuf who did not know how to sign."

From Denis ARBOUR on 25 Apr 2007: I found the death record in two different sources, one of them being a listing of the religious records pertaining to the people working on the digging the Beauharnois Canal (1842-1845). This makes me believe that our Vital (Jean-Chrysostôme's father) is not a native of the area. That he just moved there to work on the Canal.Iknow that "Jean-Chrysostôme" was a popular name in the Bellechasse and Gaspé areas but it is unseen elsewhere. Maybethis could be a clue to Vital's origins...

This is quite probable as Vital's occupationis listed in every source as mason. Many masons were no doubt employed to build the retaining walls of the canal.

From Wikipedia on 29 Apr 2007: The Beauharnois Canal is a Canadian canal located in southwestern Quebec. The canal is part of the St Lawrence Seaway. Located between the cities of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield and Beauharnois, the canal connects Lake Saint-Francis to the west (upstream) with Lake Saint-Louis to the northeast (downstream), bypassing a series of rapids on the St Lawrence River. The original Beauharnois Canal measured 15 nm (24 km) in length and was built on the south side of the StLawrence River, opening in 1845. The canal became obsolete and was superseded by the Soulanges Canal in 1899 whichranon the north side of the St Lawrence River. The present Beauharnois Canal was built between 1930-1932 on the south side of the St Lawrence River, measuring 25.7 km in length. This canal was built as part of a hydroelectric development atBeauharnois which saw a dam and power house built to take advantage of the 25 m (83 ft drop between Lake St Francis and Lake St Louis. Some ofthe electricity is used to power a large aluminum smelter. In the 1950s, the Beauharnois Canal anditstwo locks were enlarged as part of the StLawrence Seaway project.

From Scott LaVINE on 08 Jun 2007: I have slowly worked my way down the river and down the highway looking for the marriage record without luck. I also have done some research on where the Irish immigrants tended to settle when they emigrated but ithasn't helped. Interesting about this child born in 1846 . . . perhaps there are others born in the Montreal area. I also looked around Chambly as a canal on theRichelieu River was built between 1833-1843. Thought he might have found work on thatproject but no luck yet in the local churches. I wonder if he might have found his way into Ontario. The canal at Cornwall was constructed between 1834-42. Just some ideas.

Note: From SCO to ScottLAVINE on 21 May 2007: I have been trying to imagine where Vital and Mary could have married. We have him in St-Vallier from 1812 until probably at least 1827.Hethen appears in the Chateauguayarea in Jul 1843, followed closely by Beauharnois County from Aug 1843- Aug 1844. In Jan 1851, they are in Sherbrooke. In Aug 1854, they arein St-Hyacinthe. Yes, major arteries do seem to connect these areas,but it is so unusual to be so scattered in the early 1800s. From where hegrew up in St-Vallier to the burial of his second child is about 200 mi! From there to Sherbrooke is another 150 mi. Anyway, I suppose we could look at all the churches along what is now highway 55 from St-Vallier to Chateauguay

Notes:

 According to Scott LaVINE:Rose and her daughter Marguerite moved to Malone, NY, around 1912, shortly after the death of Vital, although his exact date ofdeath has not been determined. --> nb: Seemingly Rose and dau moved to NY later, after Oct 1915.

From Scott LaVINE on 31 Mar 2007: I always thought that Vital Arbour died sometime priorto 1912 and that my grandmother Margaret had come to Malone condsiderably earlier than 1918. They did live with Monsignor Edouard Blanchard who was pastor at Notre Dame church in Malone. Father Blanchard died in 1923. The first mention of Margaret Arbour in the Malone Farmer occurs in July 1912 when she won a $5 award at the St Joseph'sSchool commencement. I do have a photo of Vital and Rose Blanchard Arbour and I also have their original marriage contract in my collection back in Norwood, NY. Rose Arbour died suddenly on 19 March 1925 of heartdisease at the home of Gilbert and Margaret Arbour LaVine.

From Scott LaVINE on 01 May 2007: The mystery deepens. The Malone Farmer online newspaper makes no mention of him dying in Malone as it did other close relatives of Father Blanchard. I wasjust 21 when Margaret Arbour LaVine died and the story we were always told was that my grandmother had come to Malone to live after her father had died....no mention of him dying in Malone. I wonder if he had come to Malone for medical help or if he was stricken here while visiting Father Blanchard. Grandmother had a relative who died in a fire. We always thought that was her father, but perhaps it was her grandfather, the 1st Vital. Your researchindicated that he was only about40 when he died. Hmmmm?

Vital's Burial Record, as translated by Scott LaVINE on 30 Apr 2007: "The twelfth of October, 1915, we the undersigned priest, buried in the cemetery of this parish, the body of Vital Arbour, spouse of RoseDelima Blanchard, deceased at Malone NY the 10th of October at the age of 74 years. Present at the morning burial: John and Albert Arbour who did nothave to sign. Reading given. Father Armand Dussault"

Notes:

 Apparently, Andre and family lived in Massachusetts from about 1872 through 1880, but then moved to Quebec before the 1881 Census. What happened to Andre and Mary's 3 daughters who lived with themin 1880but not in 1881? Two of these daughters appeared again in 1900, when the family lived in Fitchburg, MA, along with their son who was born in late 1881. Perhaps the family never really lived in Quebec in 1881. Perhaps they left Quebecin 1872 and everyone believed they would return home one day so told the census taker in 1881 that they still livedthere. Then again, maybe the family did move away in 1872, but Andre and wife returned home in 1881 to visit family or to settletheir Canadian affairs before returning to Massachusetts.By the Census of 1910, Andre and Mary had 6 children, only 5 of whom were living.
--> How can this be? In the 1920 Census, after Andre had died, Mary lived with 4 of their grown children, 3 of whom weremarried but did nothave their spouses with them.

Notes:

 

On 9 Apr 1891, the Census enumerator visited the Arbour family in St-Raphael, QC. Sadly, the family had buried Louise just the day before and were no doubt mired in profound grief.

On 20 Feb 1918, Hilaire and Delphine travelled to the US via the port of Newport, VT. They left son Exear in St-Raphael, QC, and were going tojoin their daughter Donalda BOIVIN in Sa.., MA. Hilaire was last in the US in1900 when he went to MA. Delphine was previously in the US for 11 months during 1890 in Winstead, CT.

Notes:

 Sometime between 1890-1905, Michel and Josephine applied for a land grant in St Raphael, QC, fromthe Government of Quebec because they had 12 children. But there seemsto be no record of them actually having received the land. Perhaps this is when they decided to emigrate to the US. Source: Centre d'archivesde Québec, E9,S101,SS4 (1984-11-011\164); Dossier #2285.
Reference this article from the Archives of Quebec: Applications for free grants of land to families with 12 living children under the 1890 law of Premier Honoré Mercier
In 1890, the Honoré Mercier government, observing that it was "advisable, following the example of past centuries, to give marks of consideration for fruitfulness in the sacred bonds of matrimony," passed alaw entitled An Act to confer a privilege upon fathers or mothers of families who have twelve children living (53 Vict., c. 26). The Act granted 100 acres of public landsfree of charge to parents of 12 living children born in lawful wedlock. The measure harkens back the 17th century, when Louis XIV took measures to encourage births in Canada. In that era, inhabitants who managed to have 10 children living, born inlawful wedlock, excluding priests, monks and nuns, could receive an annual pension of 300 pounds. The pension was increased to 400 pounds if the number of children reached 12. To have the benefit of the law of 1890, an eligible father or mother had to present a petition to the Provincial Secretary, accompanied by his or her certificate of marriage, a certificate of birth of each of his or her children, and a certificate sworn before a justice of the peace giving the number and names of the children. After examining the petition and certificates, the Provincial Secretaryreported to the Lieutenant-Governor in Council. If the latter granted the petition, an order was passed to that effect and a copy was sent tothe Commissioner of Crown Lands, who had the duty of granting the petitioner the 100 acres he had selected. On 30 December 1890 (54 Vict., c.19), the legislature changed certain provisions. Now, the religious minister of the place where the petitioner lived had to certify the truthof the facts alleged by the petitioner. A certificate of birth of eachchild was no longer required, and thepetition was now addressed to the Commissionerof Agriculture and Colonization. In 1892, it was specified that the 100 acres of land had to be selected out of the public landsfit for cultivation, for sale and available at the time of selection, in the township, parish or unorganized territory where the petitioner lived or, if no such lands were available, in the township, parish or unorganized territory closest to where the petitioner lived (55-56 Vict.,c. 19). In 1895, an amendment to the "Twelve Children Act" specified that the lands were granted by location ticket, subject to the usual conditions of settlement. Asof June 1904, persons entitled to land could obtain a $50.00 premium instead. Finally, in May 1905, a new law abolished grants of land and premiums to families with 12 or more children (5 Ed. VII, c.16), thereby terminating the government aid program. Between1890 and 1905, of the 5,413 families officially recognized, 4,977 received a lot or a premium under the Act. Despite certain difficulties of administration, the Act was of particular benefit to people who did notown the land they livedon, that is, bearers of location tickets and squatters, who had to be granted the land they already occupied. The records of the petitioners are preserved at the Québec City centre of Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, in the fonds of the ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation du Québec (E9,S101,SS4, containers 1984-11-011/139 to 198) and they represent 13.2 metres of textual documents covering the period from 1890to 1905. This voluminous documentation offers researchers, particularly genealogists, information on families from all regions of Québec. The counties of Beauce, Témiscouata, Rimouski, and Ottawa are best represented. [http://www.banq.qc.ca/portal/dt/genealogie/inst_recherche_ligne/instr_demande_de_terre/famille/famille.jsp]

 Bio from Facebook on 15 Feb 2010:
15 Feb 1857 -- Cleophas ARBOUR was born in St-Raphael, QC, as the 8th of 9 children of Michel ARBOUR and MargueriteDUBREUIL. Cleophas came from a long line of farmers and continued that trend for himself. On 05 Feb 1883, he wed 15-year old Marie-Melina PICARD. From 1884 to 1899, Melina gave them 11 children, alsocontinuing the trend of a fantastic Catholic birthrate. In 1900, the large family decided to further the emigration trend of many ARBOURs before them when they moved to Willimantic, Connecticut. However, the move seems to have sealed Cleophas' fate. He became ill and just 8 days later he was dead of acute pneumonia on 05 Jul 1902, at the age of45. He was buried in St Joseph's Catholic Cemeteryin Willimantic, CT. Melina lived many more years, seeing at least 18 grandchildren born, before she died in Willimantic on 12 Oct 1930.

Bio from Facebook on 10 Jun 2010:
10 June 1913 -- Born in St-Raphael, Quebec, Joseph-Ernest ARBOUR was the youngest of 12 children of farmer Jean-Chrysostome ARBOUR and his wife Sophie MERCIER. Ernest married 17-year old Amanda CHABOT in Armagh, QC, on 05 February 1893. Settling inSt-Philemon, QC, they began their family of 12 children, consisting of at least 5 daughters and 6 sons. During the 1901 Census, Ernest and Amanda owned a one-room house on 50 acres of Concession 1, Lot 17, southeast of the river. In 1905, they followed the southbound call of prosperity when they emigrated to the United States, finding their home in Warwick, Rhode Island. While in Quebec,Ernest worked as a driller, but upon his arrival in RI, he became employed in the textile industry, firstas a cotton mill laborer and later as a color mixer in a dye house. Amanda died in 1917 at the age of 42, just a few short years after the birth of their youngest child. How Ernest managed his household full of children can only be answered by thechildren themselves: theymust have all pulled together to take care of one another. Ernest was about 64 when he died in 1935. We know of 5 grandchildren and a single great-grandchild for him.

From email to Denis ARBOUR on 11 Oct 2010: Ok, Denis, here are all the copies of the little girls' records: Celina's baptism, Celanire's burial, Amaryllis' baptism, and Celanire's burial. Do you think the second burial for Celanire should actually have been attributed to Amaryllis? Did her parents really forget what they named her? Please let me know what you think.

From Denis ARBOUR via email on 19 Oct 2010: No, I don't think Amaryllis' parents forgot what they named her but perhaps the priest did. We know, from the burial record, that her father could not read and neither did the witness. Perhaps the priest made a mistake when he wrote the name, but nobody could tell . . . What do you think?

Also living with William and Elisa in 1930 was a woman named Philomene BOULE, who was reportedly William's 72-year old, widowed sister. However, William had no siblings older than he nor any known sisters by the name of Philomene so who was she? She reportedly emmigrated from Canada in 1900 and was employed at a woolen mill.[1930Census]

Notes:

 

The 1900 Census shows that Emma had given birth to a child but none were still living. The 1910 Census shows that Emma had givenbirth to 3 children but only Everett was still living. Very little is known about these other two children.

Also living with Joseph and Emma in 1900 were Joseph's brothers Adelardand Julius.

By the 1920s and in the 1930 Census, Joseph, Emma, son Everett, and Everett's family all lived in one house. Both Joseph and Everett were recorded as owning a house worth $25,000, but it is unclear exactly which one of them owned the house at 121 Maple Street.

According to his WWI Draft Registration,Joseph was of medium height with medium build; he had brown eyes and black hair. He was already self-employed by this time, which was Sep 1918. It also showed his birth dateas 11 Feb 1874.

• Alma waseither born shortly before or shortly after her father's death. In any case, she was indeed baptised after her father's death. It appears as though her mother Philomene travelled all the way from Lowell, MA, to haveher baptised at home in St-Raphael, QC. This lends itself well to the assertion that Alma was born in Lowell, MA. Shortly after the little girl's baptism, Philomene must have left the baby with her parents, as it was no doubt next to impossible for a single mother to raise a child. Afew years later Philomene remarried; Alma seems to have never again lived with her mother even though her mother went on to have at least 5 more children with her second husband.

Notes:

 to Caroline BICKERSTAFF, Alice was born on 18 Jan 1875.

According to Caroline BICKERSTAFF, Alice left James and infant son William at some point. The family has always understood that she did sometimes watch her son from a distance as he played in the school yard. His name was William Leon Messer, born 21 JUL 1897 in Lowell, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA

According to the 1920 Census, Alice was widowed, living in Boston, and renting a room from Catherine SHEPHERD.
___

Perhaps our Alice is the Alice M. SULLIVAN living in Boston in Apr 1940. She rented an apartment for $45 per month at 1376 Commonwealth Ave, where she had also lived in Apr 1935. She worked as a Clerk/Typist for an Accounting firm, where she made $2100 in 1939. She stated that she had graduated from high school. This Alice did say she was single and wasborn in Massachusetts in about 1880.

The Alice from 1940 is likely also the Alice M. SULLIVAN living in Boston in Apr 1930. She rented an apartment for $50 per month at 1990 Commonwealth Ave. She worked as a Clerk in Stocks & Bonds. This Alice was also single and was born inNew Hampshire in about 1880 to parents whowere born in Ireland.

Unless something changed between her freewheeling youth and 1930, neither of these seems to fit what we know about our Alice.

Looking back even further toJan 1920, we find the new Alice living in Boston as a Lodger with Ella A. Stratton. She worked as a Bookkeeper fora Banker. She was also single and was born in New Hampshire in about 1881 to parents born in New Hampshireand Ireland.

So we are back to the drawing board with finding Alice after 1920. Perhaps she married again and could be found under a different last name.

Our Joseph was possibly the Joseph ARBOUR born Oct 1877 in QC and living as a boarder with Charles MALLEFONTAINE at 185 Fremont Street in Lowell, MA, in 1900, with wife Anna ..., who was born Jan 1881 in QC. This Joseph worked as a machinist at a hosiery factory and his wife Anna worked as a linker at a hosiery factory. Anna migrated to the US in 1893 and the young couple was married eight months before the Census, in about Jul 1899. They became Naturalized Citizens in 1917. In 1920, they rented a house at 208 French Street in Lowell, MA, with his sister-in-law Melina PELOQUIN, who was born about 1886 in QC, was a widow, and workedas a looper ina stocking factory.That year, Joseph worked as a machinist at a machine shop and Anna no longer worked outside the home. They appear to have had no children.[1900&1920Census]

Our Joseph also possibly lived with brother Louis in Winsted, CT, in 1913, moved to Canada in 1915, and returned to Winsted in 1916. In 1922, this Joseph moved to New Britain, CT.

Our Joseph also possibly lived in Lowell, MA, and married Eva ...

According to his WWI Draft Registration, Joseph was of medium height with a stout build. He had brown eyes and brown hair.

William married 20-year old DemeriseRABY in St-Raphael on 16 June 1908. Immediately after this, the young couple moved to the United States and settled in Lowell, Massachusetts,where William worked as a fixer at a hosiery mill and Demerise worked as a stitcher at a hosiery mill. They only resided in the US fora few years, however, before packing up for the long trek to Saskatchewan. William must have moved his family to Zenon Park, SK, to take advantage ofthe Homesteading Act. This provision soldfolks 160 acres for$10 -- a deal they could not get backin Quebec or Ontario, or even in the US. In 1911, their first of 3 children was born in Zenon Park, although one died while young. William worked as a tanner that year. In 1916 and in 1922, his occupation was reported as farmer, but the family knew him to be a carpenter, making cupboards, doors, butter churns, etc. In May 1922, William and family travelled tothe US via the port of Montreal, QC. They left St-Raphael, QC, wereheaded for his brother Joseph's place at 208 French St in Lowell, MA,and planned to once again remain in the US permanently. William was noted to be 5'8" tall with a medium complexion,brown hair, and green eyes. Demerise was noted to be 5'3" tall with a medium complexion, brown hair, and green eyes; she also hadgoiter problems. Seven-year old daughter Juliette had a medium complexion, brown hair, and blue eyes. Eleven-year old son Albert had a medium complexion, light brownhair, and brown eyes. The family carried $530 with them. Despite their good intentions, the family did not stay in the US. By November 1925, they were back in Saskatchewan, where they seem to have livedcontinuously through 1949 and even into 1952. William died in Zenon Park on 09 January 1952. He was buried there in Zenon Park Cemetery. Shortly after this, Demerise moved to Kelowna, British Columbia, to live with Juliette. She apparently died there but we have no details of herdemise.

Louis held several occupations during his life: Farmer (1901); Carpenter and Press Room Foreman with the William L.

The young couple then made a southerly trek which brought them to Connecticut, where they settled into the community of Winsted. During the year after their wedding, Louis and Louise welcomed their only child, a daughter named Bertha Alma ARBOUR, into their home. According to his WWI Draft Registration, Louis was noted to be tall with a medium build, brown eyes, and blackhair. During the Spanish Influenza Epidemic of 1918, poor Virginie succumbed to the illness. After her death, her body was transported back toQuebec for burial in St-Raphael. As Louis was also ill with the flu, he was unable to attend the services. Although Louis also contracted the illness luck was with him and he survived, only to meet a tragic deatha few years later. On 16 February 1920, Louis married to 24-year old Eugenie BERNARD. Louis and Eugenie then had 2 daughters: Leona Rita and Helen, both of whom were just little girls at their father's untimely death.

 In 1940, Eugene reported that he had earned $700 in 1939.

According to his WWII Draft Registration, Eugene was born on 11 May 1896. It also appears as though Marie-Louise passed away prior to 1942, asEugene's next of kin was recorded as Albertine CORRIVEAU, Scott St, Bennington, VT. --> Marie passed away prior to Apr 1940.

Perhaps Marie-Louise died while they lived in Quebec and then after herdeath, Eugene moved south toVermont to finish out his days.

16 April 1876 -- Born in St-Raphael, QC, Leon ARBOUR was the 2nd of 12 children of farmer and later mill employee Jean-Michel ARBOUR and his wife Josephine LESSARD. These 12 children are the reason Michel and Josephinewere able to apply for a special land grant from the Government ofQuebec, which extended such a privilege to families simply because they had 12 children. However, it is not clear that Michel and Josephine ever received their land, as they decidedto emigrate to the US in about 1898, initially settling in the Willimantic, Connecticut, area. Just a few years after their arrival, Leon married 18-year old Sophronie BERTRAND in Willimantic on 21 June 1901. Between 1902and 1916, Leon and Sophronie had 10 children born in Connecticut, Quebec, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, indicating how much they moved around. Throughout his life, Leon supported his family in various ways: Cotton Weaver (1900),Carpenter at a Mill (1910), Machinist withanAuto Repair Company (1918), Repairman with an Auto Shop (1920). According to his WWI Draft Registration, Leon was of medium height and medium build, withbrown eyes and grey hair. Leon was just 49 when he died in Holyoke, Massachusetts, on 09 July1925. Sophronie then enlisted a partner to assist her in raising her children. On 15 October 1927 in Holyoke, Sophronie married 47-year old Jeremie GIROUX. Sophronie was 66 when she died in Holyoke on 07 January 1950. Leon and Sophronie gave rise to17 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.
