Abram Abraham Goyette, Eugienne Jean LeGarde, Georgiana Goyette
Since I have hit some brick walls on my own tree, decided to begin buiding my husbands.
Looking for information, and will gladly share what (albeit with some family members little, others more) information I have on the following individuals:
Francois Goyette, born 3 Aug 1777 in St Mathias, Quebec, CA He married Catherine Monty, born in 1784 and died in 1840
One of the children of the Goyette / Monty union is my husband's great great grandfather. His name was Abram Abraham Goyette who was born 4 May 1814 in Quebec and died 1 July 1900 in Fall River, MA
Abram Abraham Goyette married Eugenie Jean LeGarde in 1850 in Quebec. They left Canada for the states and eventually wound up in Fall River, MA They had many children, including Georgianna (anna hanna georgie) Goyette, my husband's great grandmother.
On 16 May 1883, Georgianna Goyette married George Edward Donnelly, who was supposedly born in Salem, Essex, Massachusetts. He was the son of John Donnelly and Jane Hodkins or Hodkins, both of Ireland, then the States.
The Goyette / Donnelly union resulted in three children:
(1) Edward Charles Donnelly, born in Rhode Island in 1884 and died in 1919,
(2) Grace Donnelly (my husband's grandmother) born in Fall River, MA 1893 and died unknown.
(3) Irene Donnelly, born in Fall River, MA in 1898.
It is Grace Donnelly that I am looking for as far as what happened to her after 1930. You see, she had a son named Walter Miller. Walter is my husband's father. Where and when did she die? Did she ever marry? We know nothing about her other than the 1910, 1920, and 1930 census.
Walter Miller: who bore the stigma of illegitimate birth in 1917
No one knows the identity of Walter's father but whoever he is, do not believe he ever married Grace Donnelly.
Just sent away for Walter Miller's birth certificate (Seekonk, MA 1917) hoping to find out something. Not knowing who his father was was a real heartbreak for Walter Miller.
Irene Donnelly married Raymond Heap, then George Jones. Have info on them found via ancestry and etc. We knew their daughter, Virginia Heap, who married Dave Dutra. We also knew George Jones, Irene's second husband.
We never knew George Edward Donnelly (he died in 1919) who was the son of George Donnelly and Georgianna Goyette. Via ancestry, know he married Mary Helena Chamberlain. They had a daughter, Mary Viola Donnelly.
Have info (census, a tree, registers) on many listed above, including Goyettes and if these names are any of "yours" I welcome contact.
Am wondering if there are any Goyette family members out there reading this who share my husband's tree. Will gladly share what I have.
Thank you for reading this.
