Hi Robert & Debbie & Neoma:
I came across your postings tonight and I wonder if there might be a link there with my Lemire.I descend from Eustache Lemire & Zepherine Elemond.Eustache is the sone of Joseph-Alexis Lemire & Theothiste Richard who, around 1856 arrived in MN from Quebec.They ended up settling in theRocky Run/Winsted area.
Eustache Lemire, his wife and his children, along with his wife's brother Edouard Elemond and his family left for southern Manitoba in 1877 but the remainder of the Lemire family stayed on in MN.I'm trying to find out about the family that stayed behind.
I have no idea where Aitkin is but I am wondering if there may be a link because many of the names mentioned in your postings are also present in the generation of Lemire that I have so far discovered.
Eustache Lemire, born Aug 2 or 10, 1846 in Nicollet, QC; d. Nov 13, 1914 in St-Pierre-Jolys, MB. He served in the Civil War from 1861 to 1865, enlisting at Fort Snelling. He was married in 1866 in Crow River, MN (which I understand to be current-day Brainerd, MN) to Zepherine Elemond, daughter of Jean-Baptiste Elemond & Angelique Jarry.
These are the sibblings I have for Eustache Lemire:
1.Marie Leocadie Lemire, b. sept 7, 1835 in Nicolet, QC.I don't have any other info for her. She is not listed with the family in McLeod County, MN on the 1860 census.she may have died before then, or she may have been married before the family left for MN and possibly stayed in Quebec, or she may have followed the family and be listed under her husband's name in the 1860 census.Either way I do not have a name for a husband for her.
2.Marie Philomene Lemire, b. 1838 or 1839 in Nicolet, QC. Married Pierre/Peter Bibeau/Bibau/Bebo.I have 2 daughters for them:Marie, b. 1858 or 1859; 2. Claire (Clare or Clara) Cecile, b. Dec 8, 1877.Philomene may have married a seocnd time to Pierre/Peter Dubois/Duboid/Dubord.She and her first husband were living in Hale. MN in 1860.
3.Joseph Lemire/LaMere, b. June 13 or 14, 1839 in Nicollet, QC; d. Oct 6, 1921 Minneapolis, MN.He married Cecilia/Cecile/Cicilia Gauthier/Gautier on Nov 27, 1863 in St-Paul, MN.they lived in Winsted, MN.I have 12 children for this couple: George Francis, Mary, Theodore, Joseph, Philimine (Minnie), Frederick (Louis Alfred), Arthur, Mary I., Edward (Edwin), Wilbur Patrick, John & Loretta.
4. Jean Theodore Lemire/LaMere, b. Sept 20 or 22, 1840 in Nicollet, QC; d. June 12, 1991 in Hale, MN.He was married in 1867 in McLeod County, MN to Amelie/Emelie Gauthier (sister to Cecile, Joseph's wife).I have 6 children for them:theodore, John A., George Albert, David L. (Lewis D. or possibly Louis D.), Emily(Emma) C. & Robert Joseph.They lived in Hale, MN.
5. Jean Emmanuel Lemire, b. May 7, 18452 in Nicollet, QC.I believe that he died in infancy before the birth of his namesake.
6.J. Emmanuel Lemire, b. April 16, 1844 in Nicollet, MN.In 1870 he is a laourer who is working in winsted, MN.In 1880 he is a farmhand for Celestin Goulet in Bergen Township, MN.
7. Olivier Lemire, b. Sept 19, 1849 in Nicollet, QC.I believe he died in infancy because he is not listed among the family memebers in the 1860 census.
8.Marie Helene Agnes Lemire (Ellen), b. Aug 25, 1851 in Nicollet, QC.She married Adolphe Crevier, possibly the son of Adolphe Crevier, SR & Domitilde Barbeau/Graveline.I have 3 children for them: Victoria, Marie Isabelle & Helen Vi.
9.Cleophas Lemire, b. Oct 30, 1853 in Nicollet, QC.I believe he died in infancy because he is not listed among the family memebers in the 1860 census.
10.Louis L. Lemire (LeMere), b. Jan 6, 1856 (possibly in St-Paul, MN; d. Dec 4, 1950 Minneapolis,. MN.Lois, like his brother Eustache, had inlisted in the army during the Civil War.Up until 1880 he lived in Winsted, MN.He apparently married as his death certificate notes that he was divorced.
11. Levi Lemire (LeMere), b. around 1862 in MN.He is living wiht his father in Winsted, MN in 1870.
I am also hoping to make a link with any descendants of Joseph-Alexis Lemire's brother Raphael-Pascal Lemire, b. April 15, 1811 in Nicollet, QC.He was married in Quebec on July 1845 to Marie Gaudreau.He and his wife lived in the Winsted, MN area.They had at least one son named
Louis who possibly married Delima (Rose-de-Lima) Bergeron.
Any hits?
