I am a Lezotte descendant and would like to warn all other Lezotte genealogists that it is crucial to distinguish Lezotte individuals by birthdate and parentage. The various lines of the family recycled the same names over and over again for generations; so you will find George Lezotte/Leazotts in far-flung states married to different women because they are cousins. You will also find numerous generations of Lewis or Louis Lezottes.

As for Calvin Lezotte of Chazy born ca. 1818, his tombstone is in the Riverside Cemetery in Chazy, transcribed here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~frgen/clin.... The transcriptions for this cemetery are also augmented with notes, in parentheses, from the church records.

From the transcriptions:
