Oooooooohhh, do I have a good one for you, Bill. I have the following couple: Jean Baptiste Hemond (Emond?), m. May 14, 1809 In Les Cedres (St-Joseph-de-Soulanges) to Catherine Faubert (also Faubert dit Masson) On the marriage record, J.B.’s parents are said to be “Voyageur”, son of Pierre Hemond (Emond? Aymond? Aimond?), farmer, and Elizabeth Mercier, from “Riviere-aux-Raisins, Haut-Canada”. Who are they? Can you find anything, and when I say anything, I mean anything on this couple. If we count 25 years between birth and birth of a random child in a family, I get the following dates: Jean Baptiste would have been born est. 1785 Pierre would be born est. 1760 About Riviere-aux-Raisins. Wikipedia says this: The Raisin River is a river in South Stormont and South Glengarry, United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry in eastern Ontario, Canada, with the watershed encompassing portions of North Stormont, North Glengarry and the city of Cornwall as well. It empties into Lake Saint Francis on the Saint Lawrence River near the community of Lancaster. The river's name is an anglicised form of the earlier French settler name "la rivière aux Raisins", which referred to the wild grapes (raisins in French) that can still be found growing along the shores of the river.
