Amable is the son of Francois Benoit and Catherine Fontaine. Catherine is the daughter of Joseph Beique and Catherine Masson. The marriage took place St Charles county of Richelieu 15 Jan 1759. In 1784 Amable Benoit remarried Marie Anne Hogue, widow of Toussaint Loiselle. The latter, Toussaint Loiselle, had a first farm in Beloeil accross the river from St Charles and was the neighbour of my own ancestor Antoine Benoit. Among the first settlers of the new Seignorie of St Charles, 5 of the children of Francois Benoit and Angélique Gagnon settled there. Francois fils(son) is one of them. This information is well detailed in the Cyprien Tanguay Dictionnary (7 vol up (to 1765)) and more exact details (if before 1730) can be found in the Dictionnaire Généalogique Des Familles Du Québec Des Origines à 1730 by Réné Jetté. Also the marriages of this area has been republished by Benoit Pontbriand, thse are more moderate priced than the dictionaries mentioned above.
