After a bit of searching, I came across this which helps!In"Maine - A History", publ. 1919 by the American Historical Society, New York, there is a 2 page biographical sketch of him, but for reasons of space, I've only included this bit.If you'd like the complete article, I can email it to you.
"...Arthur H. Benoit, who was born in St. Dominique, Province of Quebec, May 12, 1865.He is a grandson of Toussaint and Rosalie (Laperche) Benoit, natives of Canada, of ancient French lineage, the latter born at dit Sabourin.His father, Charles Benoit, one of eight children, was born April 28, 1828, at St. John Baptiste de Ranville, Province of Quebec.He was not only a blacksmith and farmer, but also one of the early miners.His mother, Amelie (Clement) Benoit, was born August 14, 1832, at St. Andre des Equart, Ontario, was the daughter of John Clement, an Englishman, born at La Point Claire, and Tasette (Lefebre) Clement, born at Vandreuil.Six of their nine children grew to maturity and became honored citizens..."
