My ancestors are Albert Merrill (1865-1948) and Philomene LeCourt (1864-1936). Philomene was born 27 Apr 1864 Saranac, Clinton, New York. Albert Born 1865 Blackbrook, Clinton, New York.
In the Assumption of Mary Parish Record, Philomene's Parents were Louis LeCourt and Philomene Fontaine. A sponsor was Theotisse Varboncoeur. Philomene was born 27 Apr 1864. Louis Napoleon LeCourt married Philomene Adeline Fontaine 20 Oct 1862 at the Assumption of Mary Parish in Redford, Clinton County. No parents were listed for either person. Philomene Fontaine is shown on the 1850 US Census in Chazy, Clinton, NY with Peter and Madeline Fontaine and other children. Philomene's birth place is Canada. Peter's birth is listed in Canada about 1797; Madaline's Birth Canada 1805. Louis Napoleon Lecourt is in the 1860 Census in Black Brook, Clinton age 25 with Teotise La Cour as head. Birthplace for both Canada. On the 1870 census age 32, birth 1838 listed as New York. Married to Adeline with Philomene and Joseph children. There is a couple Joseph Lecourt and Theotise Verboncour in Plattsburgh Village. A sister of Louis, Helene was married to Alexander Lavoie and her Parents are listed as Joseph and E Vadebonneau Another sibling Gabriel Lecourt's parents are Joseph Lecourt and Theotine Verboucour. I cannot find these people in Canada or their marriage. There's pieces of information, but nothing I can follow. This is my brick wall. Candis
