Hey
Gaston. I am a descendant of
Guillaume by his children Jean
Baptiste, Antoinette, Marie Jeanne and Marie
Francois.
Got to be related to you!
How much do you know about this stuff. For several months I have been trying to figure out how
Guillaume, his third wife Marie Joignard and her first husband
Michel Lemoine, his forth wife Marie Magdeleine
Cordier and her first husband Louis
Robillard (who were all born in France) FIRST got to
Illinois country (
Kaskaskia and
Fort Chartes) before 1723 and then all wound up in Pointe Coupee a few years later.
Have you noticed this? Any insight on how these people from France first settled
Illinois then
Louisiana?
I'll be glad to share whatever information I may have.
But don't get too proud (of ashamed) of
Guillaume being the progenitor of all
Louisiana Lemoine's. The Natchitoches based one's are actually descendants of Charles, son of
Michel Lemoine and Marie Joignard. Guillaume was Charles step-father (marrying widow Joignard in 1742).
