Wow!!!!!
I've never seen these two names together.
My great great grandmother's name was
Philomene or Philomena Benoit(Benware)
She was born somewhere in N.Y.
Her fathers name may have been Collis Benware.My great great aunt told us
many of her uncles were sea going capt.
In the 1970's my great Aunt told the family
we were related to the Beauharnois but
we were told it was threw the Bernier Family
Not the Benoits.I have research the
Beauharnois name back to Viscount Alexandre
Beauharnois and his wife Josephine who
later married Napolean Bonaparte. I know
Alexandre was one of atleast `14' siblings
Most who were sea going capt. Boy do I feel
stupid.Is there a way you can send me
the info you found on that church records
Please, Please e-mail me back [email protected]
