My great great uncle, Corvin Fasbender, married a Sarah or Sadie Pigeon in 1903 in Wausau, Wisconsin. She was his first wife and it's unclear whether she died or they divorced. I imagine the second because their children were not raised by Corvin. He had a second marriage in 1917 and this first family was unknown to his second family. On wedding records her parents are noted as Patrick Pigeon & Julia Brissant.

Thanks.

I have family that also traces back to Julia and Patrick Pigeon. I had found a census record from Marathon listing a Sarah C- about 14 yrs old in 1900. Sarah would have been a younger sister of my gg-grandmother. There was a Sadie St. Austin, but she was a daughter of my gg-grandmother born in approx 1902. Hope that helps.

Patrick and Julia were my great grandparents. Their son Homer was my grandfather. Julia'a surname is Bressett. (I've seen spelt with an i, and with an ette at the end) Her parents were Wealthy Jane sylvester and Francis (Francois) Bressett. Patrick and Julia had 13 children that I know of. And your great great aunt was Sarah. She could've had a nickname of Sadie, though. I believe they were divorced and she remarried.

Do you know anything about Patrick's parents? I believe his mother to be Maria Donlevy, who was married to a man named Brabson/Brabzeon before marrying a Pigeon. I have as yet been unable to verify this, though. Maria and her Brabson/Brabzeon husband were my 3rd g-grandparents. I'm also trying to track that husband's name as well.

Maria (Mary) married William Brabazon. She had 2 daughters that I know of Sarah and Frances. Sarah (born 1835, County Cork, Ireland) married a George Haggerson and lived in Oconto, Wisconsin. After George died, Sarah married John Bell. Frances married John Roche and after that she married Michael McKeever and lived in Stiles, Wisconsin (Oconto county). Maria (Mary) died in the home of her daughter, Frances, in Oconto Co.

I always heard that Patrick's father was Patrick and his mother Bridget.

I descend from Frances and John Roach. I've also seen the name Bridget for Patrick's mother. Trying to find out how Maria ended up with the name Pigeon.

My sister and I think that Mary might have been Patrick's step-mother. We don't know that for sure. But my sister did the DNA test and one of the people she was a match with was a descendent of a Donlevy. That was Mary's (Maria) maiden name before she married William Brabazon and Patrick Pigeon Sr.
