Jean-Baptiste Renaud---1800's
I am still trying to prove that Jean-Baptiste Renaud, s/o of
Michel and Mari-Josephe Colin, is my gg grandfather. This is wha I know. Minnie Reynolds married my great grandfather, Joseph St.George, in Warren, MA on 12-31-1882. Her parents were listed as John Reynolds and Lucy Lavallee. On all records that I could find it states that Minnie was born in Schuyler Falls, NY in 1861. I have not been able to find the family on any censuses. I have also not been able to find a marriage record for John and Lucy in NY or Canada. However I have found a marriage for Jean-Baptiste Renaud and Lucie Paquet at St. Dominique, Bagot 8-30-1858.
Lavallee is a dit name for Paquet. The dates are right and the names could easily be right---Renaud becoming Reynolds when they went to NY. HOWEVER, I have no proof that it is the right couple. I do know that Minnie had at least 3 brothers who also were in Warren: John, Albert, and Frederick. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
