| Notes |
- The date and birthplace of Jean Baptiste Dusseau IV was supplied by a family ledger kept by his grandson John Joseph Duso of Kawkawlin, MI and now a copy of which is owned by Mrs. Arbertha Gautheir Baker of Saginaw, MI. Tharcile Laforest was known as Tossie La Foray in the Kawkawlin family branch of the Dusseaux. This ledger indicates she was born in August 1797, so that she was 6 years older than her husband. She may have been born in St. Sulpice, Assumption Parish, as that is where she was married. John's death date of March 1, 1892 in this ledger is in error. The correct date is December 9, 1893, two months after trying to put out a fire that engulfed his granddaughter, Ada Dusseau. As he was 90 years old, the fire no doubt hastened his demise. (See Ada's entry for more.)
The above ledger indicates that John and Thracile had five children: William John, Frank, Joseph, Alice and Justine. For some reason, their daughter Thracile LaForest (Jr.), who married Jean Baptiste Anteau of Berlin Township is not mentioned in this list, although her death is acknowledged in this register. (See her entry for more.)
No records available other than this one to sustain the existence of these children other than William John Dusseau, later of Kawkawlin, MI, his older brother, Joseph, of Toledo, OH, and their \Sister, Tharcile Dusseau Anteau of Newport, MI. It is likely therefore that Frank and Justine died as infants or young children either in the U.S. or in Canada. However, as of 2006, Minden Sexton, a descednat of another brnach of Dusseas (Jean Francois Dussault, through his son Louis Joseph Dussalt, has discovered evidence in Censuses and marriage records that Justine Dussalt survived into adulthood, married and had children in Monroe County, MI. So only Frank Dussault is without
written records at this writing to sustain his existence as of 2006.
While Tharcile is not mentioned as a child, Alice is and it interesting to note that her brother William's daughter was named Tharcille Alice Duso. Perhaps the above Alice is Tharcille under her middle name, as the ledger indicates only five children were born to John Baptiste Dusseau IV and his wife Tharcile LaForest.
According to Aunt Lena Dusseau, daughter grandaughter of John Baptiste and Tharcile, and Mrs. Arbertha Gauthier Baker, a descendant of the Dusseau Family through William John Dusseau, the family came by covered wagon to Erie, Michigan. The above ledger indicates that William John Dusseau, son of John Baptoste Dusseau and Tharcile LaForest, was born in Whitehall, VT, now Whitehall, NY. Research of the records there will be necessary to determine if they bought a farm and other details such as how long they were there before coming to Michigan. The Family came to the U.S. some time beween 1837 when their son Joseph Dusseau was born, since he is a naturalized citizen (See naturalization papers from Toledo, OH, in family papers.) and 1842, when their son William John was born in Whitehall, VT.
Lena Dusseau, a granddaughter of John said he came from Canada to Erie, MI, in a covered wagon with a partner. He made and sold washboards of wood. She described her grandfather as big and huskey.
Joseph's father (John Baptiste Dusseau IV) came to live with them In Toledo, OH, and died there at the age of 90. He had been living with his other son William in Kawkawlin, MI, in the Bay City area, according to that family's tradition. As he died two months after trying to save his granddaughter, it is likely this contributed to his death.
According to his great-great granddaughter, Arbertha Gauthier Baker, John's body was brought back to for burial with his wife. Apparently they were first buried in old St. Joseph's on State St. across from Visitation Church in Bay City and then their remains with others were removed to the new Calvary Cemetery, Kawkawlin, MI, in 1953. What stones they could gather were brought to the new cemetery and the remains were put in a special place. The old cemetery St. Joseph's Cemetery went from Smith St. to Elm St. and had a fence around it. It is now a paring lot (2003).
Arbertha supplied dates for this family and Joseph's parents, Louis Dussault and Louise Amiot on page 102 in her ledger. However, there are issues with these dates with respect to Louise. She is stated as born 20 May 1886. If this is meant to be 1786, she was married in 1794 at the age of 8. Perhaps the correct year is 1776, the year Louis DuSault/Dussault was born.
