I have copy of a land rental list of Grande Riviere in 1760 showing Joseph, wife, and 4 children among which was son Joseph age 18 as I recall. This is the Joseph that married Chartre in Quebec a few years later and returned to Grande Riviere. Joseph Sr. was a carpenter. The only reason I can think of for his leaving the L'Islet area was that the British had burned many of the coastal villages and that he went there to rebuild houses, etc. I'll dig it out of my stuff and make a copy for you. Please give me an address.
My father was, Achille b. 1/6/1900 Newport, son of Joseph Alphonse and marie Anne Rail.
