- David LaVoy was born 7 July 1821 at the Maumee River, probably in Ohio, near the Ohio-Michigan Border. He was baptized at Assumption Church, Windsor, Canada, 20 January 1822. He was raised in Monroe County, MI, in Erie Towsnship. He and his wife, Monique (nee Duval?) had two known children: Victoria, born in October, 1850, according to the 1850 Census, and Ely LaVoy, born before his father's death on 12 Septemer 1852, at the age of 31.
David LaVoy died possessed of 120 acres of land according to the Monroe County Probate File 1049. The land was described as follows: NW 1/4 of SE 1/4 of Section 28 in T8S R8E containing 40 acres; SW 1/4 of NW 1/4 of Section 28, T8S R8E, containing 40 acres; and W 1/2 of E 1/4 of Section 19 T8S R8E, containing 40 acres.
David's personal property was valued at $369.08 in Probate.
The fate of David's child, Victoria, is unknown, She may have died as a child. David's only known descendants are through his son Ely.
David's widow, Monique, remarried to Louis laPointe, who became guardian of her children. The 1860 Census entry for Louis LaPointe needs to be searched to determine whether Victoria survived to 1860 or beyond..
Similarly a more thorough review of the Probate record for her father's estate may indicate whether she died before her majority.
Monique and her second husband, Louis LaPointe resided in Erie Township, MI.
