Surnames: L' Official, Benoit
Hi Everyone:
I have gathering my documentation for a few months. I have connected myself to Luc Benoit from Margaree, N.S. who married Helen Le Blanc and lived in Stephenville.

I an looking for information on an ancestor : Anne l'Official . I do know that she was a full blooded M'k Maq , she married Francois - the first Benoit to settle in Newfoundland-on 20 June 1790 at Sandy Point, Nfld in the 1790's. He was born 1763 in Iles Malouines. He died after 1839 in Bay St. George, Nfld.. Ann L'Official's parents were: Henri l'Official and Isabelle [Nannette] Shegone.

I believe that she connects to me through Milli (Millicent Eunice Chaisson), my grandmother. I have documentation so far that shows that: Milli's parents were Josephine and Lawrence Chaisson(maiden name Chiasson), Lawrence's father was Naziree Chaisson, I think. I know that Josephine's parents were: Julian Chaisson and Jane (Jenny) Benoit. Is Jane a descendant (daughter or granddaughter) of Ann L' Official, I am trying to find out?

I would welcome any help, hints or direction.

Thanks,
Jasen

Surnames: Francois Benoit and Anne L'Official
Hi:
I have since found the answers to my original inquiry. As for Francois Benoit having a son named Luc- no, not that I am aware of. I have 14 children listed for Francois Benoit and Anne L'Official and no Luc. There is a Louis who married Ursula Marche.

Hi, I see that you and I are related. I am related to Luc and Helene Benoit. Helene was a LeBlanc and a cousin of my own LeBlancs. Plus Helene and Luc's son Jean Constant married Theodora LeBlanc(another cousin) and last but not least,Matilda d/o Jean Constant and Theodora married my great great grandfather Henri Duffenies(Duffney/Duffenais).
Obviously also related through the Jean Dauphinee and Mary Ann LeJeune. Small world if you don't mind my saying!

P.S. I also have other Benoits in my line....would you mind sharing some information?

Hello,
In reference to this "Shegone"


Their son, Francois .Benoist(first Benoit in NF) b:1764 at Ile
Malouines, Falklnd Ilands, die in Bay
St.
George,NF-married Anne .L`Official daughter of Henri L`Official & Isabelle
Cheyo(M'k Maq)-
(english name
-Elizabeth. Shegone).Marriage date:July:20,1790
It will be nigh on impossible to find conclusive proof, but I think the name is really Sigogne as in the Jesuit Relations where this is found:

Membeltoujij. Membertoucoichis (called Judas), eldest son of Membertou, over sixty years old, also baptized; and named Louis, by Monsieur de Biencour, after Monsieur the Dauphin.
One of the wives of Louis, Monsieur de Jouï sponsor in the name of Mme. de Sigogne, was named after her.


Cheers
Phil
