Hello,
My father's grandmother was Mary Girard, born in Swanton, Vt. in 1842 Her father was Joseph Girard, born In 1815, and mother Priscilla Pineault, born I 1820 and who died in 1892 in Fairfield, Vt. Her mother was Ursule Cloutier who may have died in Highgate, Fairfield. in 1860.
My great grandmother, Mary Girard, married in Highgate in 1860 to John Blair. One of their children, Emma Jane Blair, was my paternal grandmother, who married Henry Millette in Massachusetts (Uxbridge), at a Baptist Church. I have been unable to determine whether my father was initially raised Baptist.
I was told that Mary Girard was "American Indian" and French.
Would love any additional information. I only found Mary Girard as issue from Joseph Girard and Prisicilla Pineault. Would be very interested if there had been other children.
Thank you.
