Searching for other researchers that are working on these surnames to exchange information and help each other. I am particularly looking for the LEVEQUE Family from Canada whose famiy settled in Mackinac County in the early 1800's. Some given names for this family are: John Bte II, Issac, Paul, Mary L, and there are others, 10 known children whose names I do not have yet. Per the 1860 Census for Michilimakinac Co., St. Ignace Twp.,... Mary Lavake b. abt.1821-4 Canada married Louis LaJoice in Mackinac County on March 18, 1837. Louis was born in Canada abt. 1808. She is part of the LEVEQUE Family above from Canada. According to this census they had 5 children in Canada and 5 children after coming to Mackinac County. I have Mary Lavake/Leveque's death cert(died June 1905 in St. Ignace) which states her parents are Paul Lavake/Leveque and Mary Bishop but nothing else.

For the surname PLANKEY, I am looking for the parents of Rufus PLANKEY b. Sept 16, 1875 Canada, Immigrated 1890, married in St. Ignace to Agnes Lajoice. Rufus' father name is Frank or Francis. They reportedly stayed with the Beckers upon coming to MI.

I am also interested in further info on Angeline Robinson b. 1841 in Mackinac Co.(1870 #59-14) and her father Francis Robinson b. 1797 in Canada. Francis married Josette Jacob Chebayabos in Mackinac County on Sept 11, 1826.

I am searching for the Indian family of LOUIS/LEWIS from Mackinac County. Charles Louis b. 1863 (DR #3453) married Marie Louisa Smith Way-we-gon-nay-be (DR # 3454). Both Mackinaw Band.

Maybe this will help you in some way.
I have a birth certificate for my grandfather, Basil DeRushe, born April 27, 1914 in Cloquette, MN. His parents are listed as Albert DeRusha (note the difference in spelling) and Jesse LeMere (definitely of Winnebage tribe, possibly Ojibwe as well). Albert and Jesse had 3 other children prior to the birth of Basil, but I have no information on them. Basil moved to Oregon, then Alaska, where he died December 18, 1978. If you have any info on Albert DeRusha or Jesse LeMere, please let me know. Thanks,

Mary DeRushe-Larson

Joseph LeCuyer married to Mary Elizabeth Drew prior to 1839. Lighthouse keeper 1854-55 Rock Island. Had 10 children: Joseph,Margaret,Louis, Mary Ann,Bernard,Ester, Amab,Augusta (great-great grandmother),Mary, and another son not named in report. Am not sure if this area is part of Mackinac County. Some of the islands mentioned were Hog, and St. Martin's Islands. If this sound familiar please contact.

IN THE Durant Roll of 1909 the pawzhedawnawquot members
changed their last name to JOHN. so are there any JOHN family members in Mackinac County??

Hello Mary,

Hi,
I know this response is a bit late but Basil DeRushe is the bio father to my son. The Basil DeRushe you refer to is probably my son's grandfather. (father of the Basil you mentioned) We know that he was living in Alaska and his son lived in Oregon. If you have any other info on the DeRushe's family line please respond. Is it possible to get a copy of the birth certificate?
Thanks, Linda

I was wondering if you have any other info on the DeRushe line. Basil DeRushe is the bio father to my son. Maybe you also know his brother, Ronald. Trying to fill in a genealogy program I have.
Thanks, Linda

I know it's been quite a while since you posted your message but wondered if it's possible for you to email me a copy of the birth certificate on Basil DeRushe?
Thank you. Linda
