Born between 1920-1926. Hometown in 1945 was Hartford, CNT. I know he was in the military, probably the Air Force. I know that he was in Bayou La Batre, AL (Mobile County) between 1944-1945. He was probably stationed at Keasler AFB in Biloxi, Ms or Brookley AFB in Mobile, AL. So anyone knowing Benedict Maurice or Maurice Benedict Duquette or Katie Cline Harris please contact me. Thank you.

My husband's uncle was Benedict Maurice Duquette, born:21 Jan 1922 in Bristol, CT to Edmond Duquette and Clara Breault Duquette. He was in the military but don't have those details except that he enlisted in Stockton, California. He married Ruth Samuelson but left his family and died in Texas 9 Dec 1993. He was living with a Juanita Duquette at that time.

Hi, I have in my database the same Benedict with a son name Richard.

Hello, Yes, Our "Uncle Benny" had a son, Richard W. Duquette, born 1944 in Connecticut to his wife, Ruth Samuelson. When he left his family, he essentially "disappeared" and didn't communicate with his parents or siblings again. It was always a big mystery in the family. It is only through genealogy research that I found him in Texas living with a Juanita Mares Duquette. Don't know as he ever got an official divorce as I cannot find evidence showing a divorce. Do you know anything about that?

Hi, not really, because I tried to find all the Duquette from Canada and USA, I have a big database and it's why I mentionned it. Hope my english is not bad, Thanks , Marie-Josee

Hello Marie-Josie, Happily the French Canadian family trees have been extensively researched. How do you fit into the Duquette tree? My husband, Paul, is the son of Anita Duquette and grandson of Edmond Duquette and Clara Breault.

My grandmother is a daughter of Joseph Duquette son of Honore son of Joseph son of Francois son of Joseph son of Gabriel son of Jean-Baptiste who was the brother of Joseph who was your ancestor :)

Joseph, Joseph Marie, Joseph, Jacques Hyppolite, Joseph and Edmond who married Clara Breault. Have a nice day

I am the grand daughter of Benedict Duquette. He had a son with Ruth (Samuelson) Duquette, named Richard. I am Richard's daughter.
I never met him, although I do have a single photo of him from when my father was very young.
I would be very interested in communicating about this lost branch of my family!
Sincerely,
Amy Duquette

My father is Richard Warren Duquette-son of Benedict Maurice Duquette. I never knew my grandfather. I currently live in Los Angeles, but was born and raised in Bristol, Ct. I'm stunned at the information I recently found here.Thank you for posting. It's the most information I've ever had about my grandfather.
