57	A Bible with the Robidou name on it and some birth entries has passed down to Patrick L. Tombeau, author of this family tree, from his great aunt Julia laVoy Deszell who obtained perhaps from her father, Moses LaVoy, Sr. who was son of Catherine Robidou. CAtherine Robidou is mentioned in the 1860 Erie Twp, 1960 Federal Census as follows: Dwelling 615: Catherine Lavoy, age 48 There is no entry in the 1870 Federal Census in this twp. for Catherine and it presumed that she died between 1860 and 1870. Her husband Charles LaVoy, Sr., was deceased before 1860.	Robidou, Catherine (I00026)

59	A listing of the children of Jean Baprtiste Amiot and Genevieve Guillemot by Rene Jette (in his genealogical dictionary) does not include Jean Marie Amiot. However, Jette does list a son of the above couple named Joseph Amiot whose marriage is noted elsewhere in the Charbonneau and Legare "Repertoire de marriages, Bepteme, Sepulture..." . This record indicates that Joseph Amiot, son of above couple, had a brother named Jean Marie Amiot who attended the wedding. All of the children of Jean and Genevieve were born in Montreal from 1718-1729. No other marriages to other spouses are noted for this couple. Jette does not mention the Jean Marie Amiot that Tanguay says was born and died in infancy. French Canadian families have the odd custom of naming children after a deceased sibling and there is no listed baptism or birth for Jean- Marie despite being the brother of Joseph above. I have concluded that Jean-Marie Amiot above, not finding any other such person, is our ancestor with the ancestry as noted and that, as frequently happens, records get lost, the priest forgets to record, etc. Rene Jette himself used this same technique to prove the parentage of another individual whose birth record was lost. Rene Jette, until his death last year, was the foremost genealogist of French Canada. The above infromation was obtained frrom Montreal's Genealogical Library during a trip made by Patrick L. Tombeau in the 1990's.	Amiot, Jean Baptiste (I06227)

62	A September 9, 1957 Toledo (OH) News Bee article details a reunion after 47 years that he had with his two brothers, Albert Charles and Benjamin in Toledo, OH. Noah came from Superior, WI for the reunion. He is said to have spoken fluent French and English and a little German. There is an episode of horse play narrarted when he was a boy. He threw a tree foot water snake on his brother Ben who in turn went at him with a fish spear. According to a letter from his grand nieces he helped lay the foudnations for Presbyterian Church in Solon Springs in 1907. The nieces bleieve the logging business brought Noan and his brothers David and William LaVoy to Superior Wisconsin. Loggin started uo in thea rea in 1882. His graddaughter Agnes remembers him coming to their home with a shot gun to hunt rabbits. Burial with his wife took place in the Catholic Cemetery in Superior, WI. He was a carpenter.

63	A September 9, 1957 Toledo (OH) News Bee article details his reunion after 47 years with his two brothers, Charles Albert of Alma, MI, and Noah of Superior, Wisconsin. He is said to have spoken fluent English and French and a little bit of German and still knew a great deal of the Chippewa Indian tongue. The brothers erroneously claim their great -grandmother, Mary LaVoy was Chippewa. She was Potawatomi. Ben narates an incident of horseplay as a boy when his brother Noah dropped a three foot water snake on him and he, in turn, attacked Noah with a fish spear. Benjamin was a policeman for forty years and lived with his son Romeo in Toledo, OH, for his last four years. He was an active hunter and fisherman all of his life, as were his brothers..

68	Abraham Martin, called the Scotsman (Dit L'Ecossais), came to Canada in 1614 with his wife and child Anne. He held land from 1643-46, now called the Plains of Abraham after him and on which was fought the decisive war between England and France in 1759 between Generals Wolfe and Montcalm. There are notes elsewhere in the family papers on this man. He was also a royal pilot on the St. Lawrence River. By Yolande St-Arneault Échos génealogiques Société de Généalogie des Laurentides Volume XVII, #1, spring 2001 Translated by Lorelei Maison Rockwell, May 2002 Lorelei@Kennedy-Rockwell.com This insignificant historical person nevertheless gave his name to the Plains of Abraham and Abraham's Coast. He was one of the trivial actors in the history of New France. An obscure character. An antihero. Paradoxically he gave his name in perpetuity to two properties that are part of Champlain's city. On 15 February 1649 the little colony was in shock. Abraham Martin, age 60, a companion of Champlain and the head of a large and respected family was thrown in prison. The accusation: he had forfeited the honor of a strapping young girl of 16 [translator's note: statutory rape?]. Certainly it would be said that this old pig Abraham had debauched a fine 'young thing.' Three months later his wife gave him his ninth, and last, child. Abraham Martin arrived in Quebec in the summer of 1617--probably making the voyage in the same ship as Louis HÉBERT. His family accompanied him: his wife Marguerite LANGLOIS [translator's note: Jette[1] gives their date of marriage c 1620 'in France'], her sister Francoise and Francoise's husband Pierre DESPORTES. This couple would have a daughter Helene, who would become the goddaughter of Quebec's founder. This same Helene would marry, as a second husband, Medard Chouart des Groseillers, the colorful explorer, fur trader and co-founder of the Hudson's Bay Company. From his arrival onwards our Abraham MARTIN was in no hurry to disappear into nameless obscurity in the tiny world of the first colony. Years later historians found his trail in the local, popular culture where his name was inscribed--first in the topography of Quebec under the French regime and then in notarial records making reference to Abraham's Coast. A street named Abraham appears in a 1734 Quebec City map. Then, later, we find his name preserved in reports of the celebrated historic battles of 1759 and 1760. There were accounts signed by English officers and published in London as well as in the journal of New France's Chevalier de Levi. The name Abraham MARTIN also appears in the controversial will Champlain signed in November 1635, two months before his death. Canadian history was young then and still in the making. The original will was not discovered until 324 years later, in August 1959 to be exact, by the historian and archivist Olga Jurgens, and published in 1963. In his will, Champlain "gives to Abraham and his wife 600 livres with the charge of using it to clear land in this country of New France." The founder also gave 600 livres to Marguerite, daughter of Abraham, "to support her in marrying a man of this country--New France--and no other." The original will stated clearly that if Champlain should leave little or nothing in goods and Quebec properties to his widow, he wanted her to have the largest part of his inheritance in France. In 1863 the historian, J. B. A. Ferland began to follow the track of the great curate Thomas Maguire. M. Maguire 'suggested that a part of the Plains had belonged to an individual by the name of Abraham." In consulting civil registers for the parish of Notre Dame de Quebec during the time of the French regime, Ferland found only one person with the first name Abraham: Abraham Martin, called l'Ecossais [the Scot], who was shown as a royal pilot. He was our man. In 1635 Abraham Martin accepted, from the Company of New France, a land grant of 12 arpents in Quebec. Another parcel of 20 arpents was added 10 years later. The combined land was well-situated in the upper town, but north of the present Grand Allée, on what was at that time called St-Genevieve Hill. For this reason Abraham Martin's land should not be confused with the Plains today. What may also be seen from this little history is that should a man take his animals down to the Charles River to drink, in taking the road of descent he would come to the Coast of Abraham. We discover in a notarial act dated 16 October 1675 the name Charles-Amador Martin, only surviving son of Abraham. Priest and co-inheritor, Charles-Amador cedes to the religious order of Ursulines 32 arpents of land situated in a place called Claire-Fontaine in exchange for the sum of 1200 livres, a small fortune at the time. In the decisive battles of 1759 and 1760 French and English soldiers played a prominent role in insuring that the topographical name Abraham was engraved in the historical record. The Chevalier de Levi mentioned in his journal on 19 July 1759 that the English "have four ships passing above the town and in consequence will be able to send dispatches via the Heights of Abraham and as far as Cap Rouge." On the same day the troops of Wolfe and Montcalm clashed, 13 September 1759, a Captain in an English regiment, John Knox, wrote in his journal, later published under the title The Siege of Quebec, that once landed at the foot of the cliff, they did not stop, "till we comes to the Plains of Abraham." Another English officer, John Montresor, wrote a book published in London and titled The General Battle of the Heights of Abraham. If the land of Abraham Martin was not contiguous with the present Plains, the battle of 1759, on the other hand, really and truly was fought on the Plains of Abraham and on the ancient property of Abraham Martin. The great historic battle raged all over the upper town. The French and English troops had taken position on the cliff as far as the Sainte-Foy Road and Parliamentary Hill--today approximately up to Rue Belvedere. Reckoning from the beginning of the English regime, local cartography considerably expanded the dimensions of the Coast of Abraham and the Plains. Abraham's hillside covered the continuation west of St. Genevieve's Hill up to Rue Suéte which leads to St-Foye at Lorette. Regarding the Plains of Abraham, more often called the "Heights of Abraham," the topographical name usually appeared on maps designating a large part of the upper town outside the ramparts. It was not until 1879 that city maps delineated exactly as it is known today. In 1908 the federal government created Battlefield Park. But for the people of Quebec it will always be the Plains of Abraham or simply the Plains. An affectionate name. A popular and gratuitous tribute to the earliest setters of the country. Each time has its own history. After the Conquest, the British Empire could not abandon the location of its victory to anonymity. The place name had to be in accord with the importance of the event. Historians Jacques Mathieu and Alain Beaulieu advance an interesting theory in their monumental history of the Plains published in 1993 by Septentrion. For them, the 1759 conqueror preserved the popular name believing that it referred to the Biblical patriarch. They write: For people of the Protestant faith, strongly imbued with Biblical tradition, the designation "Abraham" makes use of a major symbolic power. The conquerors could not fail to see themselves in the image of the great prophet. It was in this way, through a series of misunderstandings, that a colorless colonist had his name immortalized. History has kept the secret!

Voir Internet http://www.lesoleil.com Abraham Martin is Yolande St-Arneault's ancestor through 3 of his daughters: Anne, Marie, and Marguerite [more available here]. Charles-Amador Martin was the second Canadian priest. He was born at Quebec where he was baptized 7 March 1648 by Father LeJeune. He was the 9th child of Abraham Martin and Marguerite Langlois and he had as his godfather: Charles-Amador de St-Etienne, sieur de la Tour, who was famous for his bravery and loyalty to France during the wars in Acadia. In 1672 he built the first stone chapel at Beauport to replace the old wooden one. He continued to serve this parish until 1677, when he went to Sainte-Famille. On the erection of the Chapter House at Quebec, he became canon. He was named parish priest of Chateau-Richer in 1685. On 19 September 1697 he resigned the honor of canon and on the following 18 October he was named parish priest of Notre-Dame de Foye. He remained there until his death 19 June 1711 at the age of 63. A manuscript titled "On the devotion at Sainte-Famille by Mother Superior M-Andre Regnart-Duplessis de Sainte-Helene," we find that M. Martin was an expert chanter and that he composed the chant for the mass and divine service at Ste-Famille still used today.

He owned the "Plains of Abraham" in Quebec City. Abraham went to France after the taking of Quebec by Kirk on Jul 24 1629, and returned to Quebec in 1633/34. He was a master pilot. Arrived from France on sailboat “LeSallemonde” at Tadossac on Aug 30 1620 with his wife and daughter Anne. Received concession of ground that formed a plateau where Wolfe & Montcalm fought the battle of Quebec. This area is known as the Plains of Abraham. On January 19 1649 a young girl of 15 or 16 years became the first woman in Quebec to be executed. It is not clear exactly what she was accused of but one possiblity was “Thievery”. We do know that Abraham Martin was accused of raping (indecent liberties?) with the same girl around this time. Ref: “Le Journal des Jesuites”, 2d edition, Montreal 1892 ...

Le premier bapteme entre sur le registre de Notre-Dame de Quebec, est, au mois d’octobre 1621, celui d’Eustache Martin fils d’Abraham Martin dit l’Ecosais, pilote de la Riviere Saint-Laurent, et de Marguerite Langlois. Abraham Martin a laisse par ses filles une tres nombreuse posterite. Dans les archives des Dames Ursulines, sont les titres de deux terres qui lui ont appartenu. Ces deux terres reunies furent vendues aux Ursulines de Quebec, par les heritiers de Maitre Abraham. La terre d’Abraham Martin recut le nom de “Plaine d’Abraham”, nom ensuite tendu au plateau voisin, sur lequel fut livre la celebre bataille entre Wolfe et Montcalm. Premier defricheur et premier pilote, Abraham Martin sut donc, par son courage et ses connaissances, se tailler une reputation imperissable dont notre histoire gardera toujours le souvenir. La Societe Historiques de la Province de Quebec inaugura en juin 1923 son monument a Quebec.	Martin, Abraham (dit L'Ecossais) (I05494)

71	According to A.J. Larabell in a statement to Patrick L. Tombeau on June 27, 1964, Samuel Dusseau did not allow his children to sample his grocery store goods. His sons worked for him in the store. Mr. Larabell confirms stories about Samuel Dusseau's unforgiving attitude toward debtors, if he saw them in Church. Samuel was a sharp bargainer and very industrious. He set a good table, however, for his family and guests. Another story along this line is that of Frederick LaVoy, a brother of Gerturde Lavoy who married Harvey Dusseau. He said that Harvey's father, Samuel Dusseau, would not go to church because it disturbed him if he saw people there who owed him money. Mr. A.J. Larabell also recalls that when Samuel's son, Henry Dusseau, A.J.'s first cousin, visited the Larabell home, when Henry was about 14-15, he stored his bike in the woodshed which subsequently burnt down, destroying his bike. According to a statment made to Patrick L. Tombeau on July 17, 1964, by Mrs. Lisle, widow of Samuel's brother Richard, Samuel came with his brood of children on Sunday's to his father Joseph's home, while she and her husband lived with the old couple. Samuel never brough so much as a pound of butte or a quart of milk for the meals. (Samuel owned a grocery store.) From an article in a Toledo (OH) newspaper, dated 25 January 1915: "Toledo, Janaury 25.- Samuel L. Dusseau, 52 years old, was shot and wounded seriously one of two bandits who invaded his grocery and general merchandise store at 1650 Dorr Street last evening. A bullet entered his left lung. "Dusseau was alone when two men, about 20 years old, entered shortly before 7 P.M. One wearing glasses, remained at the front door while his copanion advanced to Dusseau, behind the counter, and ordered a package of gum. "The proprietr took a package from the case. As he turned and handed it to the stranger, he looked into the muzzle of a big pistol. " 'Put up your hands" "'Put up your hands' instructed the owner of the revolver in a loud voice. "Seeing the accomlice in the door also draw a pistol, Dusseau feared he would be attacked under any circumstances. Terror prompted him to dodge under the counter. "Evidently the holdup man thought Dusseau was reaching for a concealed weapon, fired, and then with his partner, fled into Dorr Streeet toward hawthorne Street. Henry, a son of the proprieter, was dozing on a couch in the family residencea djoining the rear of the store. He overheard the intruder's command and was hurrying to his father's asssitance when the bullet was discharged. "He caught a glimpse of the fugitives as they ran. The bullet penetrated dusseau's breast under the arm. "Dusseau was removed to St. Vincent's Hospital in a police emergency ambulance. His wife accompanied him. He has six children." According to an account told to Patrick L. Tombeau many years later in the summer of 1962, his great-uncle Henry Dusseau noted the following things: Samule Dusseau was accustomed to count cash while his store was still open for business at the end of the day. He then changed his habit , putting a "closed" sign on the door, but still not locking the door against warnings from various people that it was a dangerous practice. It was under these circumstances that the above robbery occurred. The bullet entered his lung and collapse it apparently, but was not removed because of the considered delicacy of that operation in 1915. According to great-uncle Henry, the men were dressed in dark or black clothes and were dark complected. Henry gave pursuit down the street a ways until they rounded the corner of Dorr and Hawthorne when they were abot 5000 feet from Henry. He then returned to his father. Several suspects were called in, but none were positively identified and the theives to this day are unknown. Samuel Dusseau was in ailing health from that day until his death at 54, two years later, of "tuberculosis". He also jaundice at the time, according to his daughter, Norma Dusseau Gray. Undated article from a Toledo, OH, newspaper: "Samuel Dusseau, 54 years old, died at his home 1650 Dorr St., Friday evening, after a two year's illness. Funeral services took place at St. Theresa's Church Monday evening. with internment at Calvary Cemtery. Mr. Dusseau is survived by his wife, Mrs. Dusseau and six children: Mrs. Frank Voltaire of Norwood Ave., Mrs. R. Gray, Detroit Ave., Harvey Dusseau of Detroit, MI, Henry, Rudlph, and August of Toledo, OH. "Mr. Samuel Dusseau was born in Toledo (OH) 54 years ago. Had been in the grocery business at 1650 Dorr for 23 years in June. Mr. Dusseau never fully recovered form wounds recieved when shot by burglars at his store two years ago. That with a complication of diseases, caused his death at his hom September (1)4th. He was a faithful member of the Toledo Retail Grocers and Butcher Association for many years. "Those who knew Mr. Dusseau admired his genial companionship and his straighforward business principles. He was devoted to his home and is survived by his good wife and six childen, four sons and two daughters to whom we exrend our sincerest sympathy." From Forest Cemetery markers in Toledo, OH: Samuel Dusseau: 1863-1917 Matilda Jarvis Dusseau Fall: 1871-1949 Frank F. Fall: 1862-1943 According to his daughter Norma Dusseau Gray, Samuel was raised by his Uncle Anteau. This would be his blood aunt Tharcile ("Theresa") Dusseau, sister or Samuel's father, Joseph, and her husband Jeran Baptise Dusseau. This couple was childless and so Samuel was needed to do farm work. Their home, of which there is a picture in the family papers, was in Berlin Towship, where his future wife, Matilda Jarvis lived with her family of Ready Road in a brick house. The Anteaus had one other person living with them, his sister, Elizabeth J. Anrteau, who is believed to be in a picture with Mr. and Mrs. Anteau, in the Dusseau family papers.
