COUSINS
A newsletter pertaining to the descendants of Robert
Pepin and Marie Crete
April 2001 -- Vol 2, No. 4
In this month's COUSINS:
======================================= WHAT'S NEW I've heard from a few new cousins and will bring you all up to speed next month. This is one of those time periods where I need to be at least twins. On the brighter side of things, I had lunch last week with cousins Jerry and Karyl Hubbard and had SO much fun. ======================================= THIS MONTH'S FEATURE: ROBERT PEPIN and his two wives, ELISABETH ROYER and MARIE-ANNE DELASSE I would again like to stress that as most of this information comes from the Tanguay, before you go out and have these names and dates engraved upon the family silver, go hunt up copies of the Red and Blue Drouin, as well as the René Jetté, and double check all of the info on the older families. Was typing a collateral line in and found that Tanguay had two brothers marrying the same woman, on the same day, in the same place. I made a note of this in the database. Still haven't been able to resolve this yet. Last month we looked at the children of Jean Pepin and Marguerite Moreau. This month we look at his younger brother Robert's family. Robert was baptized in 1677, and buried 12 May 1754 at St Geneviève, Montréal. His first wife, Elisabeth ROYER, daughter of Jean ROYER and Marie Targer, was baptized 14 Sept 1669 and was buried 22 Jun 1715 in Montréal. Robert and Elisabeth married 16 Nov 1700 at St-Jean, Ile d'Orleans, and their children are:
Robert's second wife, Marie-Anne DELASSE, daughter of Jean-Pierre DELASSE dit LAFLEUR and Jeanne CHABAUDIER dit LÉPINE, was baptized 10 Nov 1672, in Trois-Rivières. Robert and Marie-Anne married 15 Sept 1715 in Montréal, and their children are:
I hope I spelled everything right. If you see something that doesn't quite agree with your personal family history, e-mail me and tell me about it. An error could be *my* typo, the error of the Tanguay, Eusèbe Senécal's typo, or Abbot Tanguay's typo -- ya just don't know unless you ask. ======================================= FIRST NAMES From Joan Tschida--
======================================= RAMBLINGS FROM THE EDITOR I'm not sure which is worse; feeling wretched and not being able to do email or feeling better and getting caught up on all the email. I am, however getting at it all as fast as I can. When it rains it pours; not only was it a successful marketing slogan, it's what's been happening with my own personal genealogy research. Through my father's maternal lines -- the Stuckeys of Bristol, and the collateral lines of Bartlett and Newton -- I now know that I have cousins in the UK and Australia . . . and I have names AND dates. But there's a problem with the dates. In Polite Society, a couple marries and then has children. But so often, in genealogy, we're dealing with real people in real situations; I suppose that's the origin of the phrase, "The first child can come anytime, all the rest take 9 months." My particular Stuckey/Bartlett line were stress testers of that maxim, but by no means the *only* stress testers -- which is why I'm talking about it here. William John Stuckey's date of birth aka The Problem Date. To keep it simple, we'll call him Bill. According to family stories, Bill's mom and dad were from Bristol England, which was where Bill was born on Jan 1, 1878. In 1898, he was a member of the US Navy and was aboard the USS Oregon when she made her record run around the Horn during the Spanish American War (found a cool web site that shows he was an Ordinary Seaman on that 66 day run). On Nov 1, 1899, he got married, and on April 11, 1900, his first child -- my paternal grandmother -- was born. So, let's see, he would have been 20 on the USS Oregon, 21 when he married, and 22 when his first child was born. About a month ago, now, I got a follow-up e-mail from a Stuckey researcher in Australia, in which he introduced me to two *other* Stuckey/Newton researchers from the UK (United Kingdoms aka Great Britain). Our common link: their ancestors were brothers of Bill's dad. What's more, a 6 or 7 generation tree was included. Now I had seen one other source that had listed Bill's birth year as 1887 -- Bill's younger half-brother Freddie, and here it was again in the new cousin's information. They support the 1887 year over the 1878 year because of an 1881 census listing that showed Bill's mom and dad as unmarried boarders in the same boarding house -- he as a Ship Carpenter and her as a dressmaker. If Bill were born in 1887, he would have been 11 on the USS Oregon, 12 when he married, and 13 when his first child was born. Now I know that the old Anglo-Saxon lines were tough, and the old Anglo-Saxon sailors even tougher, but I have trouble with an 11 year old Ordinary Seaman. 'Sides, I have a pic of Bill taken in 1899 and he certainly looks more 22 than 13. Even now, the new Stuckey cousins are digesting this. While I wait to hear back from them, I may go see if I can scare up a copy of Bill's death certificate and/or his military records, and perhaps do a little research on number 2 Deep Street in Bristol. ======================================= NEWSLETTER INFORMATION If you have family you want to share this with but they don't have a computer, please feel free to print it out and share it with them. If you have family with a computer who you think might be interested in the newsletter, drop'em an e-mail and let'em know about it; feel free to pass along my e-mail address. If at anytime you wish to be change the way you receive the newsletter, drop me an e-mail at lisa@fortlangley.ca and tell me. ======================================= COUSINS comes out once a month - more or less.
