Paul P. Chass4 of Rhode Island College t o Le Foyer of Pawtucket, RI,
in which he mentions Gov.- Aram Pothier, "La Sentinelle," and FrancoAmericans in the Civil War, all subjects which have been covered at
length in previous issues of Je me souviens: "Aram Pothier as Gover"Survivance: A

eloquent answer t h i s young man had provided.
I was on my way t o t h e men's room when I saw a man o f

I asked him about h i s e y e s i g h t and h e laughed, saying h i s

Unbeknown t o him, t h i s young t e c h n i c i a n had g i v e n me i n the
f l e s h t h e very answer I was seeking: A Franco-American i s
someone who recognizes h i s French Canadian a n c e s t r a l and c u l t u r a l background, comes t o terms w i t h i t , and proceeds t o
f u n c t i o n p r o p e r l y w i t h i n our marvelous c o m p e t i t i v e patchwork

And so, who a r e we? I t was John Gunther who, i n h i s

Even though t h i s may n o t be a b s o l u t e l y accurate, and

submitted by Bob Charpentier
NOTE: This genealogy has an interesting history. Its author
is unknown. What is known is that it was written in Ware, Massachusetts, in 1913. It was found among the papers of a widow with no
heirs. The administrator of the estate sent it to Bob Charpentier
who, in turn, sent it to the Society because he recognized its genealogical value.

without remorse under the flag of sacred liberty. But it was in the
night of the 12th to the 13th of September 1759 that Wolfe, by a
steep path which was thought to be impassable, was able t o reach
with his army, the escarpment where the Plains of Abraham rise
above Quebec. Montcalm and his army had to yield to conquest, and
our flag, wet with tears, was forced to recross the seas. The
Guertin family mourned, because the voice in their blood could
never be silent and remained true, but after the passing of time
they became loyal subjects of England. And so it was that Michel
Guertin and several of his brothers fought for Britain in the War
of 1812, and was rewarded a pension of 20 piastres annually when
he was 52 years old and almost dead.
In 1837 the old Gallic blood was roused again in the veins on this
family, and Jean-Baptiste Guertin, son on Michel Guertin, was one
of the first to take down a musket to defend the rights which had
been accorded to the French Canadians. He took part in the battle
of st Denis on November 23, 1837. In this fight, the English troops
under the command of Colonel Gore , who had 500 well armed men,
battled against a handful off brave men who had only about 40 old
flint-locks and a little cannon which some traitor had spiked
during the night to prevent them from making use of it. The outcome
of a fight was so unequal was inevitable, and all the world knows
it. And after having
obtained this quasi right from a
constitutional government, it must regretfully be stated that the
this land so thoroughly French
is about to
Province of Quebec
be molded after the image of John Bull, by giving his language the
place of honor. If there were not dependable evidence, never could
one have believed this incredible weakness possible on the part of
highly placed French-Canadians who have yielded to the point of
aping the English by adopting their language. Yet, in the official
spheres in the Province of Quebec, French has the same standing as
English.

Has one lost the recollection of the still smoldering ruins of
martyrs
1837, where the intrepid claimants of our usurped rights
dare
of the duty imposed by the home land in their holy revolt
defy powerful England with austere courage? And the same blood
still flows in the veins of the descendants of those who suffered
the old wrongs of our defeat, and 1837 reopened a closed era.
Tremble, because their hatred and rage prepares for our sons a
future of storms. Woe to those serpents whose evil breath spreads
the pestilential winds of hatreds, conflicts and rivalries. Listen
to the clamor which resounds over yonder, or rather to that
bellowing, brutish voice, the roaring of blind fanaticism, the
howling of the monster still unsatiated! He must have our
servitude, or, if not sending us to the scaffold, then at least he
wants to annihilate us and let us disappear to the rank of the
Iroquois.

Grandfather Cloutier came from La Bretagne (or Brittany) whose
natives were called "Bretons". Francis Guertin was born in the
parish of St Denis Richelieu. The parish of St Denis comprised all
the territory of the Seigneury of the same name, until 1849 when
it was cut off by the surrounding parishes. It began to be
colonized only in 1720, however, it was as early as 1696 that it
was cut out in the forest of the right bank of the river Richelieu,
six miles from Sorel. The right of Seigneury of St Denis was
granted to Louis de Games, Ecuyer Sieur de Falaise, lieutenant of
a detachment of the Naval Forces. The settlement of this region
was retarded by the wars against the savages and English. It was
in honor of his wife, Barbe St Denis, that the new lord of the
manor gave to his concession the name St Denis, At the beginning,
the members of this Seigneury had to go to Contrecoeur for their
religious services. It was only in 1740 that the authorities found
them sufficiently numerous to grant them the function of a parish
priest under the patronage of St Denis. At first they built a
humble chapel of wood where for ten years the parish priest of St
Charles held services for them, followed by the cure of St Antoine
for three years, and then for one year by the cure of St Ours. In
1768, the primitive buIlding which fell already to pieces, was
replaced by a stone structure built by their first parish priest.
Then, in less than 30 years the population of St Denis had doubled,
the present spacious church was constructed.
Church Reaister of 1796, The successive officiating priest of St
Denis were: J.B. Gosselin, cure of St Charles from 1740 t o 1741.
Gervais of St Charles from 1741 to 1750. Gervais from St Antoine
from 1750 to 1753. J.F. Youville of st ours from 1753 t o 1754. J.B.
Frechet, first cure, from 1754 to 1768. Gervais of St Antoine ( for
the second time) from 1768 to 1769. F. Cherrier, the real founder
of the parish, from 1769 to 1809. G. Martin, officiating priest,
1 year. J.B. Kelley, third cure, from 1810 to 1817. 3.6. Benard,
fourth cure, from 1817 to 1834. F. Demers, fifth cure, from 1834
to 1862. A. Prat, officiating priest, one year. Ant. O'Donnell,
sixth cure, from 1863 to 1897, and J.B. Michon, seventh cure, who
is officiating at this date, from 1897.
You will find in this Church Register that the first Pierre Guertin
married Marie-Angelique Allaire in St Antoine un 1772. His son
Pierre married Charlotte Veuillieux, and his son Pierre married
Isabelle Cloutier. Their children were: Pierre, Francois, Virginie,
Marguerite, Alexandre, Olivier, Edouard, Joseph, David, George and
Julienne.
Pierre Guertin died near Champlain, and his wife Isabelle Cloutier
died in Michigan. Besides the father and mother, those who have
departed since are, Virginie, Marguerite, Olivier and Edouard. I
don't know where their mortal remains rest, but their memory is
enshrined in my heart. And all of a sudden, this merciless death
has taken from us unexpectedly David Guertin, who died in Ludlow,
MA on January 23, 1913 at the age of 66 years, 5 months. I know
where his resting place is, and often I pass by the solitary spot,
and looking at it, I try to soothe the memory of my disconsolate
soul and sad recollection.

THE MISTAKEN IDENTITY OF
MICHEL NAPOLEON CARTIER
BY Charles E. Seney
Researchers are well advised not to take
for gospel truth everything in print. Even
the most respected writers occasionally make
mistakes, some of them very serious ones.
For example, take the noted historian, Dr.
Thomas Williams Bicknell, author of The
History of the State of Rhode Island and
Providence Plantations, when he writes about
my grandmother's brother, Michel Napoleon
Cartier.
Dr. Bicknell mentions Michel Napoleon
Cartier on pages 1 0 0 and 1 0 1 of Volume V. He
correctly states that Michel Napoleon Cartier
was the founder in 1 8 9 4 and the president
treasurer of M. N. Cartier & Sons Company in
Providence, RI, for many years. He also correctly states that Michel Napoleon Cartier
married Ozilda Tetreault on 9 April 1 8 7 5 in
Putnam, CT, as is documented in the vital
records there. However, when he states that
Michel Napoleon Cartier was born 9 January
1 8 5 4 in Sutton, MA, son of Michel Cartier
and Julia Renault, natives of Canada and
France, respectively, he is not quite correct. Michel Napoleon Cartier's father,
Michel, was born 9 May 1 8 3 0 in St. Fran~ois
du Lac, Yamaska, PQ, Canada, son of Michel
Cartier and Marguerite Janelle. He died 21
December 1 8 9 8 in Putnam, CT, and is interned
in St. Mary Cemetery. However, his mother
was not a native of France. Her correct
name was Julie Reneau, born 1 8 June 1 8 3 1 in
St. Hyacinthe, PQ, Canada, daughter of
Pierre Reneau and Marie-Amable Dumas. She
died 27 April 1906 in Putnam, CT, and is
also interned in St. Mary Cemetery there.
The most obvious inaccuracy in this biography reads: "Mr. Cartier is a member of a
family of distinguished French origin, a
descendant of the famous French explorer
Jacques Cartier, discoverer of the Saint
Lawrence River." This inaccuracy is substantiated in any of the numerous biographies of Jacques Cartier which state that
he had no children.
There is yet another inaccuracy in
Bicknell. He also states "Mr. (Michel
Napoleon) Cartier numbers among his forebearers the noted Canadian statesman, Sir
Georges-Etienne Cartier (1814-18731, in
1857 Attorney General of Lower Canada, and
from 1858 to 1862 Prime Minister of Canada
with Sir John MacDonald." On page 320 of
the Dictionnaire G6nGral du Canada, Universitk dlOttawa, mention is made of the
marriage in 1847 of Sir Georges-Etienne
Cartier and Hortense Fabre. Two daughters
were born of this marriage, neither married.
There were no sons.

come, please stitp h? our booth and say "Hello."
We are still looking for people who are willing to give us
a hand with some computer work. Most of us are using

IEM and clones. If you can help, please write and include

1:ontribijtions to the Littraf-y F I J ~The

very grateful for your continuing support of our efforts.
Books are s o expensive that i t would be difficult to maintain
our superb library without your generosity. Donations of
money are applied to books on order thus defraying expenses
that the Board has already approved. We also receive
donations of books, magazines and original works by our
members. All of these donations are received with great
excitement here in Woonsocket.
Our !'Obituaryi! and "Bride" projects are continuing and
are very successful, (We will soon be swapping obituaries
with our sister society in Connecticut. They will send copies
of their pages to us and we will send our pages to them). i
know that i t i s difficult to imagine from long distance that a
few ciipplngs are going to make any difference but they
really mount up when they are added to all the others that
arrive here. We really thank all who have helped and hope
that others will be willing to lend a hand. How about
clipping some obituaries, wedding announcements, or fiftieth
i.redding anniversary notices? It won't take iong arid i t wlll
really help. We have a very loyal group of people who
continue t o support this fine project. COME ON - JOIN US !!
We are always looking for more records. We can use help
gathering information from churches, town halls, funeral
homes, town reports etc. Woijld you be able t o gather any o f
t h i s information from your local area? I f you can, l e t us

information. You do not have t o worry about transcribing the
raw material. We em organize that back here.
We have r e c ~ l v e dsome "Share Ware" for IBM r:ompiuters
from two of our members. I f you would like some more
Information regarding t h i s material please send me a self

Among the many letters which have been
received was one from Gerard Gauthier. He
writes "I am in the process of writing an
historical account of the 9 generations of
GAUTHIER/LAROUCHE that preceded me. I am currently shooting for 1994 as the publishing
year of my book, just a year before the 350th
birthday anniversary of the ancestor. My book
will include photos and other memorabilia.
From ten years of research, I have completed
the first 5 generations, drawing from a mass of
over 1 5 0 documents. I am currently working
the story of the 6th. I have at least 1 5 2
more documents to glean from. The true
story reveals a voyageur, and a migrator
counter to the law of migration, joy, grief,
and a downturn into desolate poverty, and
finally the new life. I am making an offer
to an AFGS member who is a Gauthier/Larouche
or a "Larouche", or who has a cousin by that
name, the chance to honor the ancestor. You
will be given the opportunity to include your
male or female Gauthier/Larouche ancestor's
photo into my publication. If you so desire,
you will be given the opportunity to include
a short story, of up to 5 0 0 words. You will
be given credit for your contribution. If
you feel that you may not be able to afford
to publish a Gauthier/Larouche publication
yourself, then this is your opportunity to
honor your ancestor at no cost to you." Interested members may write to Gerald Gauthier
at 3 5 3 0 7 Ponderosa Drive, Fruitland Park, FL
34731.
A request for help came from Donald Varney: "I wonder if I could get some help from
the "Members' Corner". I need help with the
"troublesome TURENNES" portion of my genealogy. My great grandfather, Clovis, appeared
in Holyoke, MA just before the turn of the
century. My grandmother, Valentine, was with
him then. I believe that she was born in
Canada. He moved to Taunton, MA briefly and
then to New Bedford, MA where he died in 1911.
Although I have his lineage from his death
record (parents were married in L'Assomption,
PQ), I have been unable to find his birth,
marriage or place of burial. His death certificate is in New Bedford. Most of the
family died of TB but perhaps there are related branches out there that can give me
more information on this hard to pin down
family. Anyone who can be of help should
get in touch with Donald Varney at 9 Arrow
Lane, Acushnet, MA 0 2 7 4 3 .
He can also be
reached by phone at 5 0 8 - 7 6 3 - 5 3 7 3 .
Hildegard Perry is looking for information on VICTOR PRAIRIE who married Sophie
Beaudreau in Woonsocket, RI on 2 2 July 1 8 7 2 .
She believes that both Victor and Sophie
were born in Canada. If you can help, contact Hildegard Perry at 6 6 9 Arnold Road,
Coventry, RI 0 2 8 1 6 .
We are very grateful to Ralph Soucy who
sent along material which will be of use in
future issues of Je me souviens.

ERRATA
Errata
This new column is devoted to correcting
mistakes wherever they are found: in J
e me
souviens and elsewhere.
Paul Delisle writes, "Regarding my article, Rhode Island Franco-Americans in the
Civil
War,
which
appeared
in
the
last
issue:
-In the third paragraph, I state that the
Ballou family is of Huguenot ancestry. In
reality, the ~a'lous
are descended from a
Norman family who accompanied William the Conqueror to England in 1 0 6 6 . "
Paul Delisle also writes, "I recently received correspondence from Mr. Norbert J.
Rioux of Branford, CT, regarding my article,
Rhode Island Franco-Americans in the Civil
War, which appeared in the last issue. Mr.
Rioux sent me some information about his wife's
great-grandfather who served in a Rhode Island
unit during the Civil War. I checked Mr.
Rioux's information and found it to be correct.
Please make the following correction:
'BRINDAMOUR, Pierre was a resident of
Warwick, RI. He enlisted and mustered in on
2 6 May 1 8 6 2 under the name Peter BROWN. He
was assigned as a private in Company C, 9th
Rhode _I_slan& Infantry and mustered out on 2
September 1 8 6 2 . '
The above underscores a serious problem
which I encountered in researching this article. I'm sure that there are several other
Franco-American veterans with anglicized
names who will remain buried in the archives
until chance brings them out. My thanks to
Mr. Norbert:
--.-J. Rioux for sending me the information on Peter Brindamour." (Editor's

Mrs. Elaine Bessette Smith, author of
French and Indian War Captives which appeared
in the last issue, writes, "I would like to
make a couple of corrections to my article.
On page 52 under ( 2 ) John - line 4 - the date
should be around 1660. On line 8 , Thankful
should be (1691). Under (4) John - line 13 the name Ann should be before the date 10
April 1651 and Samuel born 1646 was omitted.
Please accept my apologies. Since sending
in the article, I found more on ( C ) Joseph page 51. He was married or rather the marriage contract was signed at Fort Saint Louis
with Notary Loiseau on 15 November 1734."

While doing further research on other families who married Jolins in PQ, it was
discovered that the Talbot BDF series had several errors on two particular Jolin families: #22 and #23. Louis Jolin (#22) and Pierre Jolin (#23) who were brothers. had,
together. 14 children who married in PO. By using the years and lowns each was married
in, plus the towns of origins of their spouces (from other sections of Talbot's series) it
was possible to logically restructure these 14 Jolin children into their proper family
groups, i.e., as far as can be determined using this scheme. Major errors such as these are
uncommon in this series. Listed below is what I believe to be correct:

Therefore, the JolinIJoler list published in the January 1990 issue of
the F.A.R.O.G. should be corrected accordingly:
15
Delete #I5 Pierre.
Add, instead:
Louis
13 Nov 1 8 3 8 Marquerile Bussiere
Ste.Claire
Change #23 to #22 (Francois).
Change the numbers 23A. 238 & 23C to 22A. 228 & 22C respectively.
No other changes are required.
