Joseph Legault and Emelie Levac from St. Ignace, Vaudreuil, Quebec
Would like to find dates and places of death for Joseph Legault and his wife Emelie Levac. One of their sons was Damas Legault.
Damas was born November 25, 1854 in Quebec, I cannot find a record of birth for him. I am positive he is same person as the Joseph Legault who shows up on the 1861 census in Ontario with his mother and siblings. Some people post online that Damas' approximate year of birth was 1861 but that is wrong.
His mother Emelie re-married on August 25, 1859 at St. Polycarpe, Quebec to Jean Baptiste Bissonnette whose first wife was Angelique Sauve (Angelique buried Sept. 6, 1857 at St. Clet, Vaudreuil, Quebec). I have names of ten children for Jean Baptiste and his first wife Angelique.
I cannot find a record of death in Quebec for Joseph Legault. He must have died between 1854-1855 and August 1859.
Emelie would have moved with Jean Baptiste and her children and some of his, perhaps all of his children from his first marriage....to Prescott County, Ontario between August 1859 and spring of 1861 (census taken that year).
Jean Baptiste Bissonette died on Oct. 2, 1875 at Plantagenet North in Prescott County, Ontario.
Emelie is on 1881 census with one of her sons (will include that info below) but I cannot find her after that- some people post that she died in early 1900's back in Quebec, but I cannot find a record of death for her. I just can't buy that she would leave her children and their families and go back to Quebec.
Emelie Levac was baptized June 11, 1824 at Les Cedres, Soulanges, Quebec and was the (second?) daughter of Joseph Levac and Marie Charlebois. Emelie married Joseph Legault on Jan. 31, 1843 at Les Cedres, Soulanges, Quebec. I did not record a date of birth for Joseph or who his parents were. I have names of two daughters and three sons for Joseph and Emelie born between 1843 and 1854, and they are listed with her on the 1861 Ontario census.
