Greetings,

I'm in search of info regarding Laurent Caron and his 1st wife, Marguerite Payan(t) dite St. Onge—my 3rd Gr-Grandparents.

Specifically, I do not know the places of birth or marriage, therefore I am unable to confirm their ancestries. However, I know that they both died in Roxton Falls, Shefford, Quebec (St-Jean-Baptiste). Laurent died 3/18/1895 and Marguerite died 6/2/1866.

Marguerite should have been born around 1833 and Laurent should have been born abt. 1817. I'm guessing it was somewhere in the St. Hyacinthe area. They were likely married between 1850-1855.

I believe that she and her husband had at least five children: Marie Jesse; Alice (b. abt. 1852 , d. 5/11/1885); Georges (b. abt. 1857, d. 7/19/1887); Alphonse (b. 4/25/1865); and Elphege (d. 4/30/1871).

I can not locate the place of birth for these children (except Alphonse, who was born in Roxton Falls), but nearly all died in Roxton Falls.

After Marguerite's death, Laurent Caron remarried Zoe Boisvert on 4/14/1872, also in Roxton Falls.

Any help would be more than appreciated!

Bill

PS. Marie Jesse married Joseph Comptois & Georges married Vallerie Riel (my 2nd gr-grandparents) on the same day: 9/21/1880; Alice married Honore Bonneau(?); and Alphonse married Georgiana Petit 2/7/1885.

Georges’s wife, Vallerie, remarried Amable DuBreuil on 3/4/1889…also in Roxton Falls. She eventually ended up in Lowell, MA for 3 years before living in Lawrence, MA, where she died 8/14/1923.

Surnames: PAYAN
Amazing!!
I know a little bit about Payan surname, because I have been finding out about it. My name is Alonso Payan, and I live in the west coast of Mexico (Sinaloa). I have been traveling around the world 'cause I am a christian missioner, and I have found a lot of Payan people in France lately. any ways, as I've discovered, the first Payans in the american continent arrived to MExico during the French RIOT, during the XIX century, and they established in different small villages on the Sierra Madre Occidental in Sinaloa. I have visited those old places and confirmed that There are a lot of very old people whose surname is Payan. So, it makes me proud to know about Margarita Payan, who lived in Quebec so long time ago!! it means that my spirit of traveller comes from my ancestors!!
