Your grandfather, Edward Ecarius, married Ida Lafayette 10-1-1898 in Saginaw. Ida is the daughter of Dominic Lafayette and Victoire Moreau dit Duplessis[aka Victoria Morrow]. Dominic Lafayette is a fifth generation descendant of Louis Javillon dit Lafeuillade who came from Limoge France as a soldier to Fort Pontchatrain in Detroit in 1712 and there married the daughter of the King's interpreter to the Ottawa nation, a woman one half Ottawa. Their descendants have remained in the Detroit area to the present day. In fact Ida's father was born here and altho he died in Saginaw, his body was brought back here for burial. I will be glad to exchange further info in exchange for 1. a list of Ida's children, and 2.Some explanation of how one Mr. Pottry fits into Ida's life. I saw the name in the Saginaw obit of her mother, then Victoire Quevillon [aka Victoria Covenauw in the obit] in 1908. Hope to hear from you !!!
