I hope this will make sense to you. I can not answer your question but this is quite interesting....
François-Xavier Desjardins (I would be his fifth generation) was married twice. His first wife was Elisabeth Fournier. They had 5 children Edouard, Théophile, Marie, Joseph and Alexis. She died in 1869. His second wife was Angèle Marcil. There first born was also baptised as François. He married Pomela Hérard in 1891. They moved to Warren R.I. and he changed his name to Francis Desjardin. Their first born was Mederic Desjardins born in Warren R.I. in 1895. He changed his name to Amédée Desjardins when he moved to Canada.
Now if we speculate that Mederic Fournier was Elisabeth Fournier's (Desjardins) baby brother. Mederic could have been raised with Francis Desjardins his half-cousin and who's to say they didn't nove to Warren R.I. together? In that case Mederic and Julia could be godparents to Francis and Poméla first born.
Is it too far fetched?
