The following is taken from Talcott Wing's 1890 edition of The Histroy of Monroe County, Michigan, pg 10, back of the book;
Ralphael Jarvis, better known as "James" Jarvis, is the son of joseph and Sophia (LaMoire, actually "Lamarre") was born in Montreal, Quebec, March 8, 1839. He came to Detroit in 1848 (In his brother Adolph's entry in Wing, he also states 1848, although Ralph's son Charles Jarvis says his father was 12 on arrival in the US. Son Charles must be in error by this evidence. His father was only about nine years old.) and after remaining (in Detroit) for a year moved to Berlin. Janaury 27, 1862, hemarried Mary, daughter of John and Marianne (Beaumier) Trombley. Their children are; Frank, born June 2, 1863; John Albert, February 14, 1866; Esther mary, May 27, 1868; Matilda Mary, January 26, 1870, William, November 20, 1872; Mary Anna, August 22, 1874; Mary Alice, September 27, 1877; Mary Celena ("Alvina"), October 23, 1879; Chartie (for Charlie or Charles) D., April 13, 1882.
William Stein loaned Ralph Jarvis the money to build the brick house on Ready Rd., the first of its kind in Berlin Township.According to his son Charles Jarvis, Ralph Jarvis grew wheat, corn, and oats on his South Rockwood farm on Ready Rd. He built the brick house on Ready Rd. in 1881. It was still standing in the 1960's. There is a picture of this house in the family papers.
Ralph like children a great deal and built a swing on his farm for the neighborhood children which his was a relief to his neighbors who did not like noisy children.
But according to Charles Jarvis, by 1894, when he was 12 years old, the family was forced to give up the house, because of a heavy mortgage placed on the home by Charles' older brother, Francis Xavier Jarvis.
The family moved to the Delray section of Southwest Detroit on Springwells St., selling the family farm at considerable loss. Their home was bought from a man named Lowrie.
Ralph had no job at first when he came to Detroit. He may have worked for one summer helping to clear Belle Isle for a park. He then worked at Solway Process, perhaps as a foreman, for most of his stay in Detroit.
According to Charles Jarvis, the old State Fairgrounds were in back of Ralph's house before they moved to 8 Mile and Woodward. When the Fairgrounds were torn down for Solway Process, the company provided teams of horses and charged $1.00 a load to haul the lumber away. It was later used for firewood, although it was good white lumber.
According to A.J. Larabell in his June 27, 1964 statement to Patrick L. Tombeau, Solway sponsored the Fairon on unused land adjacent ot Ralph Jarvis' property. Ralph may have been a supervisor in building the Fair grounds. Later these buildigns were torn down and Ralph Jarvis filled one of his vacant lots with the wood.
Entries from the Detroit City Directory for 1894 to 1904 indicate variously that a James R, James, or Ralph Jarvis occupied a house on the west side of Spring wells Ave., one block south of Fort St. It is likely that in 1904 or early 1905 that Ralph moved to Pinckney, MI. In these entries he is listed as a laborer.
At the urging of his sons William and John, Ralph then gave up city life and moved to the Chilson Farm in Pinckney, purchased from a Doctor. according to his son Charles. It consisted of 180 acres. On this farm Ralph grew oats, barley, wheat, and corn. After his wife, Mary Trombley Jarvis died, January 8, 1908, she was buried at St. Mary's in Pinckney and Ralphmoved back to Detroit to Holy Redeemer Parish where he died Jan 13, 1911, scarecely three years after his wife. He is buried in South Rockwood.
His son Charles was the last of the Jarvis Family to live in the Pinckney home. Three years after he moved out, it burnt to the ground. In the 1960's he pointed the site out to Patrick L. Tombeau. It had returned to wilderness by that point.

From an obituary, probably the Monroe Evening News, dated January 12, 1911, held by his niece, Minnie Trombley Mercure, of Newport, MI in the 1960's.
"Died January 12, 1911:
"Mr. Raphiel Jarvis died at his son's residence on Dix Ave,, Detroit, after a short illness of pneumonia and had his funeral services at St. mary's Church, Rockwood (MI) last Monday. he was formerly a resident of this place and South Rockwood (MI). He was married to Mary Trombley of this place (Oldport, MI) in 1863 and made their home in Oldport a few years, then settled on a farm at South Rockwood, also conducted a brick yard in connection, which he exchanged a few years ago to A. Bondy for city property in Detroit. His wife died five years ago, leaving four sons and two daughters, several relatives and friends of this place and Rockwood."
Charles Jarvis, son of Ralph Jarvis, stated that his brother Francis X was responsible for the loss of the Berlin Township South Rockwood farm of his father Ralph Jarvis because of the heavy mortgages he had built up against it.
A. J. Larabell also stated that Ralph Jarvis ran a basket company and that at one point he recieved two orders from from a Toledo firm and when he was not paid, he went to the firm to discover his son Francis was employed there. (as no trace of a basket farm has been found at this writing and Ralph's obituary indicates he owned a brick factory, it is possible this is the actual business involved in the above anecdote.)
The following may lead credence to the above land dealings. They were researched by A.J. Larabell:
April 1, 1885: Sophia Jarvis ) deeds land to her grandson, Francis X. Jarvis:
two 25 acre parcels are involved. later that year Francis sells the land back to his father, Ralph Jarvis. Francis is noted as a single man in the deed.
The earlier history of this land indicates that Sophia's husband, Joseph Jarvis II, bought 80 acres of land in 1865 from Mr. Wallace for $700 in the township of Berlin, section 22.
Ralph sold his farm in 1894 and moved to Detroit on Spring wells Ave.
From the Monroe County Deeds:
March 21, 1894, Ralph jarvis sold 40 acres of land to Antoine Bondi and 15 acres top William Steiner (arelative of Aj. Larabell's wife) for $3500, $3060 of which went to pay off the mortgageand $60 for back taxes. Thus only $350 was realized form the Sooth Rockwood farm and brick house. Thus the approximate date of departure in 1894 is known from this deed.
A.J. Larabell continues his narrative to state that Ralph Jarvis remained in Detroit for 10 years until 1904 when he trades his city property for the Chilson Farm near Pinckney, MI. Ralph Jarvis and his wife and Chalres lived in front of the farm house and and his son John and family klived in the rear of the house. In about 1910-11, his son Charles Jarvis drives his father off the Chilson Farm through his chattel mortgages with nothing behind them. Charles remains on the farm for a couple of more years.
Ralph lives with the Larabell's for awhile, dying there of grief within a few months. The obituary above suggests that he went to a son's home in his final days.
Mr. A. J. Larabell sums up the the dates of Raphael James Jarvis as follows:
1839: born in Montreal, or more likely the nearby country parish of St. Philippe de la Prairie.
1839-1848: living in Montreal of the above country parish of St. Philippe.
1848-49: Ralph comes with his parents and siblings to U.S. as a 9 year old boy and lives first in Detroit for a year, then in Monroe County.
1849-1862: Lives in Monroe County with his parents and siblings.
January 27, 1862: marries Mary Trombley, daughter of John Baptist Trombely and Mary Baumier of Oldport, MI
1861-65: American Civil War. Does not serve. See elsewhere for this episode.
Three of his brothers are soldiers at one point: Jospeh, Octave, and
Issac.
1862-1881: lives in log cabin on Ready Rd. in Berlin Township, Monroe Co., MI.
1881-1894: lives across the street from the log cabin in the brick house he built,
the first of its kind in Berlin Township. This may be the period that he owned a brickyard.
1894-1904: Sells the farm and lives on Springwells St. in the Woodmere Section of Detroit, MI.
1904-1910: trades city property for Chilson Farm near Pinckney Michigan.
January 8, 1908: wife Mary Trombley dies and is buried in St. Mary's Cemetery, Pinckney, MI.
1910-11: forced off proeprty at Chilson by son Charles financial dealings, lives briefly with son-in-law, Joseph Larabell in Toledo, OH.
Janaury 13, 1911: dies of pnuemonia in his son's home on Dix Ave, Detroti, and buried in the Sputh Rockwood, St. Mary Cemetery.
Statements of Charles Jarvis, youngest child and son of Ralph James Jarvis, given to Patrick L. Tombeau in the 1960's:
Ralph Jarvis came fron Canda when he was 12 years old. (The data in Wing's 1890 History of Monroe County suggests age 9)
On of Ralph's brothers was Joseph.
Ralph's father (Joseph Jarvis) may have been a bear-trapper.
His mother, Mary Anne Trombley and her mother (Mary Baumier) were brought up among the Indians on Point Mouille, Berlin Twp., Monroe Co., MI., a jut of land into Lake Erie. The Black hawk Indians were their neighbors. Charles' maternal grandmother (Mary Baumier) nursed an old Inidan Chief's wife back to health from stab wounds. But the Chief got drunk again and killed both his wife and child.. The government sent an agent in to arest the Indian. He was given a trial and subsequently hung.
Charles' grandmother (Mary Baumier) used to feed the Indians and had come to like the chief's wife very well.
Charles Jarvis' mother (Mary Trombley) was born in a log cabin with five or six rooms and two floors. (See Moses Trombley entry for a description of this log cabin. Moses was Mary Trombleys brother).
When Charles Jarvis was a boy he slept in his maternal grandparent's log cabin
one winter night, only to wake up to find snow on his second floor bed.
Charles also stated that his brothers Will and John and their father Ralph helped clear Belle Isle (about 1894) with teams of horses. Will once caught a snake on the island and tied it to the basck of their wagon. Will also may have driven a team to cinder Grand Blvd. (Historical Note: prior to being called Belle Isle, the island was called from French times Ile aux Cochons, or Hog Island, because pigs were put on it to kill the snakes.)
Charles Jarvis states that his brother's and sister were born in a one room log cabin across from the brick house on Ready Road in Berlin Twp., Monroe Co., MI., built by his father in 1881. But Charles was born in the brick house.
Charles Jarvis states that the family moved to the Del Ray section of Detroit when he was twelve years old (1894). This move was made for a trade of the South Rockwood farm for city property on Springwells Ave. (See above for the forced sale of this farm with little profit). The move was made at the vbeginning of Grover Cleveland's second term to office of the president of the U.S. Charles further describes the proeprty in Detroit as follows: Ralph had property where the Terminal is (4 lots and 2 houses on Springwells St.) and one house and 1 lot on Westend where Fleetwood is. (See Eslewhere in this narrative for the Detroit City Directory listing for Ralph Jarvis. )
Continuing, Charles states that his father traded the city property with a man named Fohey for the Chilson Farm, near Pinckney, MI., in February, 1904. Prior to moving to the Chilson farm, his father Ralph worked at Solvay Process as a foreman in addtion to Belle Isle.
Ralph's wife, Mary Trombley, died on the Chilson farm, of a chronic stomach complaint in Janaury, 1906, which son Charles states was stomach ulcers. She was stout and short like her mother (Mary Baumier), about 5 feeet tall.
Charles Jarvis states that his father Ralph was 5'7" or 8" tall, stout, well-built, and quick-tempered. he died in 1911 of pneumonia.
During the Civil War, Charles states that his father was reparing the roof of his South Rockwood one room log cabin whentwo men came to induct him into the Civil War. Ralph's wife, Mary Trombley, frightened by the men, screamed, which so frightened Ralph tha he fell off the roof and was unable to join because of his injuries. (See his borthers Isaac, Joseph, and Octave's entries for their Civil War records)
Earlier in this narrative, Charles Jarvis acknowledged that his father Ralph had two brothers, Joseph and Adolph, the latter marrying the sister of his wife Mary Trombley, Margaret Trombley. On July 12, 1964, he attempted again to list his patrnal uncles and aunts. In addtion to again affirming the existence of Joseph and Adolph, he started a third uncle, whose name he could not recall, died in the Civil War and that the body was shipped to Battle Creek or Grand Rapids and that Charles' fathr, Ralph picked up the body and brought it back home for burial. (This is Isaac, who died in training at Grand rapids, MI, See his entry).
He stated that his father had two sisters: One was named Fanny who married a (Frank) Messcott (Mexico) (See Euprhosine Jarvis entry)
Charles could not recall name of his father's othe sister. He believed sh married a Duprey, that she died young and that the husband then moved away to the Dakotas with the two children, but the daughter may have come back later. (Elsewhere I have speculated that this seond sister was named Mary or Mary Esther, and that she nmarried John Massicott, brother of her sister Fanny's husband, Frank. Marriage records of St. Mary's South Rockwood, or St. Charles, Newport should be examined to verify these possibilities. Further the Duprey mentuioned may atually referr to Dupree, SD, where John may have moved.

The following website contains the biography of Jean Cusson: The Dupuis Family: http://ourworld.cs.com/RAYMDUPUIS/CUSSON.HTML
JEAN CUSSON de Rouen, Normandy, France
CUSSON, Jean, agriculturalist (farmer), fiscal magistrate, registrar, royal notary, provisional magistrate of the King, born in Clair, near Rouen (Normandy) in 1632 or about 1635 or 1636, son of Jean Cusson and of Jaqueline Pepin, deceased at Saint Sulpice the 8th of April 1718.
One could say with reason enough that the (early) colonists of New France, artisans or military people more than agriculturists, drawn (to the New World) moreover by the fur treaty, were interested only moderately in agriculture. For many of them, the cultivation of their lands remained a marginal activity and constituted in short only a supplement,necessary but submitted to with impatience, which one got out of at the first opportunity.
There were certainly, real "habitants": John Cusson was among those. Having married in Trois-Rivieres, the 16th of September 1656, to Marie Foubert, a girl 15 years old, originally from Rouen, Cusson established himself at Cap-de-la-Madeleine. As early as 1667, the couple possessed seven horned animals and twenty-eight producing acres, which was really extraordinary.( A French arpent=acre is about 1-1/2 English acres.)
Cusson, certainly, had sufficient resources to hire farm hands such as Francois Vannasse (already there in 1666) and Jean Pilon, 25 and 40 years old respectively, censused (listed as residents) at his home in 1667. However, in spite of the functions which he was going to fill in the justice (judicial) area, Cusson did not neglect the cultivation of his land: in 1681 he declared six horned animals and forty acres.
When, in 1669, the Jesuits, seigneurs (lords)of Cap-de-la-Madeleine, gave Cusson a commission as notary, fiscal magistrate and registrar , the Intendant (see note #1 below),Boutrose d'Aubigny, struggled (sued) justly in Quebec to remove from the West Indies Company the right of nomination of the notaries, and to restrain the powers of the seigneurs (lords)in the field of justice. If he hurried(acquiesced) to receive Cusson in his commission as fiscal magistrate and registrar, the Intendant authorized him however to execute that of notary only temporarily, and on the express condition that he took the title of royal notary. The seigneurs would soon have no more than the right of presentation of the notaries,the nomination being in the province of the Intendant. Cusson performed the functions of notary at Cap-de-la-Madeleine until 1687, then, from 1687 to 1700, in the Seignoury of Champlain. (see note #2 below). In 1700, he went to Montreal where he performed his duties for four years. He resided at Pointe-aux-Trembles. In 1704, at the age of about 70, Cusson went into retirement, from which he came out momentarily in 1707-1708, when he was provisional magistrate of the King at Montreal.
Cusson had twelve children by his wife. A fact rather rare at the time, they all reached adult age.*

Notes:
1. Intendant: in the 17th and 18th century someone delegated in the name of the king to supervise the various general services.
2. Seignoury: territory over which a lord had authority.
*According to Tanquay's Dictionnaire Genealogique des Familles Canadien, Jean had 16 children, all of whom reached adulthood.
The foregoing is a translation of a biography of Jean Cusson, the first Cusson to emigrate from France to Canada. The original was written in French. The phrasing and grammatical structure is French-Canadian and therefore is difficult to translate into English without destroying the original intent of the writer. That is why it may "sound" strange to our English ears. The remarks in parentheses ( ) were added by me to provide some help to the reader.

"Mose Trombley, the son of John and mary Trombley, was born in Old Port, October 31, 1843. Mrs. Trombley (nee Mary Van Washenova), the daughter of Charles and Dorothy Van Washenova, was born December 8, 1856.
"Mr. and Mrs. Trombley were married at St. Patrick's Church, Carleton (MI) on March 5, 1878. Two children were born, only one of who survives, namely Mrs. Henry (Minnie) Mercure.
"Mr. Trombley was not only interested in farming, but gave a goodly share of his time to political affairs of the township. In the course of his life he was township clerk, justice of the piece, deputy sheriff, health officer and school board member, He was a fervent Catholic and gave his finacial support to the shcool and church."
Burial was at St. Charles, Newport, MI, with his wife, Mary, according to DAR records of Monroe Cemeteries.
From a newspaper clipping held by Moses' daughter Minnie Trombely Mercure in the 1960's. It is titled and dated only: Old Port Man Jan. 20:
"One of the most interesting reports received in connection with the log cabin query was that of Mose Trombley of Oldport. Mr. Trombl;ey was born in a log cabin at Oldport on October 31, 1843, and spent most of his life in that vicinity. He was born in the pioneer days when teh country was still heavy timber and Indians weere camping. Deer, wild turkeys, and sometimes wolves, wee in the forests. The old log house had two rooms, one for a kitchen and general use and the othr for a bedroom, and also an attic that was used a s a bedroom. A ladder was used to get to the attic. There was a big open fire place which was used for cooking and heating. The old cabin has since been replaced by a frame house and the old log stable has been replacesd by a frame building.
"In those days there were no matches or oil lamps. Candles were used for light and if the fire wnet out it was necessary to fire from the neigbors. Matches and oil lamps came on the market in the ealy fities (1850's) Matches were sold in square blocks, cut both ways, and containing fifty matches which sold for ten cents a block.
"People spent evenings together playing cards, singing, dancing, and enjoying lunches together. In the summer time many hours were spent in clearing the land and then the brush was heaped up to make big bonfires.
"Mr. Trombley received his first schooling in a little log house in the clearing near the edge of the woods. This school house had small windows. There were benches along the side of the room, a box, a stove, a chair, and a desk, used by the teacher. The teacher always had an ugly looking strap at the side of her desk. The teacher boarded around with the parents of the pupils. Mr. Trombley reclls viidly all of his experiences in the pioneer days with ox carts and muddy roads, when many of the modern conveniences were not even thought of."
Another newspaper article held my Minnie Trombley Mercure in the 1960's was simply titled with no date: ""Old Port Man Is Lincoln Voter":
"Moses D. Trombley of Oldport reported to the NEWS today that he cast his first
for Abraham Lincoln in 1864. The voting booth was located in a small log house of Bostic Chapman. Mr. Trombley was born during the pioneer days on October 31, 1843 when Indians were camping and wolves and deer roamed in the forest. He educated himself and taught school for several years. He was justice of the peace for 27 years., school director for 24 years, a reporter for the United States Department of Agriculture 10 years. He followed the occupation of farming as his principlebusiness until he built a house at Oldport and retired."

The information that I have about Aaron Fluck is that he was the 3rd of 7 children. He was 11 years old when his mother, Elizabeth Leight Fluck died at the age of 37. He was under the care of his father until he came to his majority. At the age of 17, Aaron began work as a carpenter with Daniel Schafer, his cousin by marriage, who lived in Lehigh Co., PA. At 21 years of age he entered the employment of his master as a journeymanwith whom he served one year, and, with the exception of $5.00, have his earnings to his father. He passed the next three years in his native country, working at this trade. At the age of 24, in 1857, he moved to Sterling, IL and worked as a carpenter, and then in 1864 he moved to Hume Township, Whiteside Co., IL, about 5 to 10 miles south of Rock Falls. There he bought a 160 acre farm and married Lydia Tombow. They had 8 children: McClelland, John, Ida M., Aaron, Kate Matilda, Matilda Kate, Benjamin, and William.

The l865 Illinois State Census records Fanny Tombow living alone in the City of Sterling, age 30-40 years.
The l870 Federal Census for Whiteside County, Illinois, using the Genealogical Society's transcription, has the following entries for the Tombow Family:
Wm Tornbow, age l7, farm laborer, living with the Wm. Chites Family, Sterling Township (p. 22)
Fannie Tombow, age 40, living with Benjamin Burt, age 38, carpenter, lst Ward, City of Sterling (p. 28)
Jacob Torbow, age 23, farm laborer, living in a boarding house, Mt. Pleasant Township, Morrison, Illinois Post Office address
The l880 Illinois Federal Census lists only one entry for the Tombow Family in the Genealogical Society transcription:
Fanny Tornbow, age 50, widow, both she and parents born in Penn., living in the city of Sterling at the time of the Census.
According to the Sterling street directories of the period, the widow Fanny continued to live on in her late husband's home with a boarder and handy man named Benjamin M. Bott.
Then on the night of January l5, l888, a gruesome accident occurred in the streets of Sterling causing the death of the widow Tombow. The newspapers reported that while she was driving home in a sleigh with a male companion two sleighs collided in the dark and the thill, or pole, of the other sleigh pierced her chest, throwing her to the street, where for the moment in the confusion that followed she remained until she was discovered by the drivers and brought to a nearby home where she expired. The papers reflected on the suddenness of death that is the lot of all people and the more mundane and practical topic of the need for an ordinance requiring sleighs to be outfitted with bells at night. | ?, Fanny (I03914)

The LaVoy Family in France
The beginnings of the LaVoy Family lie in the city of Rouen, in the old province of Normandy, France, in the Catholic Parish of Saint-Maclou. It it is here that the ancestors of the LaVoy Family of Canada and America are first discovered. In this parish Rene de la Voye, Sr., and his wife, Isabelle Belanger, lived in the early 1600's. Neither the date of their marriage nor any other facts are known about earlier ancestors of the LaVoy Family.
Rouen was the capital of Normandy for a thousand years and it was the city which witnessed the death of St.Joan of Arc who was condemned as a hertic and burnt at the stake as a witch in 1431, two hundred years before our first contact with the LaVoy Family.
Rouen was also an important port city linked to both the Atlantic Ocean and the city of Paris by the River Seine.
The LaVoy Family Church of Saint-Maclou was built in flamboyant Gothic style between 1437 and 1517. The author secured a postcard picture of it while visiting there in the 1960's and the picture can be found with this history.
The Family name de la Voye, or de la Voie, means "of the highway or road way" suggesting that the earliest ancestor to take on the name lived near a highway, implying countryside origins rather than city origins for the family. With the passage of time the name was shortened to LaVoie, then Americanized in a couple of ways, "LaVoy" and "Lavoy", the latter form more often seen in the 1800's in the family records and the former adopted almost universally by living members of the family.
The family name has also been spelled "Lavois" and "Lavoix". All of these spellings are pronounced the same in Franch and as the 1850 Monroe County Census inidcates that Francois LaVoy could not read or write, it was up to the record taker to decide how the name was spelled since the name was new to the area.
Other variations on the name found in the 1840 Census and the genealogies of Fr. Christian Denissen are "Lavouay" and "Lavoue". Both of these spellings are pronounced as the first spelling and are attempts by a French-speaking record taker to capture in French the sound of the American pronunciation of "LaVoy". They have no authenticity as alternate ways of spelling the name.
Rene de la Voye, Sr., and his wife Isabelle had four known children: (1) Rene de la Voye, Jr., born in about 1633, but whose baptismal record has not been found. (2) Jeanne de la Voye, baptized 6 September 1634; (3) Marie de la Voye, baptized 16 October 1638;(4) and Andre de la Voye, baptized 23 February 1640.
It is this couple's oldest child, Rene de la Voye, Jr., who immigrates to Quebec, Canada, and becomes the first LaVoy in the New World. | la Voye, Rene de Sr (I00040)

The Next Generation: Jacques de la Voye
The fifth child of the eight born to Rene de la Voye, Jr., and Anne Godin was Jacques de la Voye. He was born 30 September 1669 in the family cabin on the property of his parents that fronted on the St. Lawrence River in Sainte-Anne-de- Beaupre.
From Joseph A. LaVoie in his book, La Famille Lavoie au Canada, we learn many interesting details of his adult life. In January, 1700, now nearly 31 years old and still unmarried, he sold the land he inherited from his parents to his brother- in-law for "110 livres and a cow at least two years old" and moved east down the St. Lawrence River to a small village, La Petite Riviere Saint-Francois-Xavier to join his oldest brother, Rene. He lived with his brother's family helping with the farm work for six years until he married.
Jacques married twice as the result of his first wife's death and had twelve children by two wives. His first wife, from whom the LaVoys of Monroe County are descended, was Marguerite-Angelique Garand, the daughter of Pierre Garand and Catherine Labrecque.
Jacques and Marguerite-Angelique were married at Petite-Riviere on Monday 15 February 1706. Marrying on Monday seems to have been a frequent custom of the Franch-Canadians. Perhaps its symbolic significance was the fact that it was the beginning of a new week much as the couple's marriage was the beginning of their life together.
Marguerite-Angelique was born 13 May 1686 on L'Isle-d'Orleans, P.Q., Canada. After bearing five children, she died 17 May 1718 at Baie-St-Paul four days past her 32nd birthday.
At the time of their wedding she was 19 and Jacques was 36. Again, like his father before him, Jacques "robbed the cradle" for a wife.
Fifteen months after the death of his first wife Jacques remarried to a widow, Marie Barbeau, who had a child by a previous marriage. Jacques and Marie had another seven children bringing into the world a total of 13 children between them.
Jacques' children by his first wife were: Jacques, Jr., Francois, Marie-Joseph, Jean, and Angelique.
The Monroe County LaVoys are descended from Francois.
With his second wife, Jacques had the following children: Marie Louise, Rosalie, Pierre, Rene-Roch, Barthelemi-Augustin, Genevieve, and Marie-Desanges.
With two brothers producing numerous children in a small village, the LaVoy Family became well entrenched in town life. Jacques' nephew, Michel de la Voye, became a royal notary and a lake in the mountains near the town was named Lac Lavoie.
Jacques appears to have been quite industrious in maintaining a livelihood. He cultivated the land, cleared forests, ran a saw mill and fished for eels and porpoises.
Because he was required by law to provide for the minor child of his first marriage, in 1736, at age 67, Jacques had his estate appraised, giving us an insight not only into how well he did for himself, but a glimpse into an 18th Century French-Canadian's household.
He had two parcels of land, each eight acres. On one parcel he had built a two room wooden house, a dairy barn, a grain barn, stables, and a saw mill.
The furnishings in his house were strange both for what was found in the house and what was not. It is not a pretty sight.
One of his two rooms, the one on the side of the house, was filled with "nothing of value". If this was the bedroom, there were no chests-of drawers and no beds, leaving us to assume that he and his wife slept on ticks filed with hay.
In the main room on entering it, one found a strange conglomeration of objects. The eating and cooking ware consisted of two iron pots, one iron skillet, 11 tin spoons, 2 tin plates, 3 earthen pots, 2 earthware plates, one earthwear basin, and a sieve. There was also a spinning wheel in the room, but no mention is made of a table or chairs.
Jacques kept the following things in this same room: one saw, one file, one plane, a tin lantern, three sickles, some old scrap iron, two axes, two hatchets, a gun and its powder flask, an iron bound chest , four horse shoes, various barrels, a harness, and a plough with harness.
In his yard he kept fishing equipment for eels and porpoises and a number of cords of chopped wood.
His complement of farm animals reminds us of "The Twelve Days of Christmas". He had four nursing sows, four piglets, four sheep, four geese, three hens, two cows, two young bulls, one brood mare, and a turkey hen.
In his mill he kept fifteen bushels of flour, one old winnowing basket, 2 half barrels, a cart and some small tubs.
Jacques died at the ripe old age of 82 and was buried on 3 January 1752 in Petite-Riviere. It is Jacques who first begins to sign his name without the particle "de" in our family.
