OK, let's back this up.Pierre LeClair was the child of Francois LeClair.Francois married Marie Tetreault in 1838 in St. Georges D'Henryville, Iberville Canada. So, sometime between 1838 and 1850, pierre was born. I always thought Pierre was born in Canada.I also thought Virginia was born in Canada.Francois died in 1899 in Kankakee, Il.Never been able to trace Marie or any burial for either Francois or Marie.Pierre and Virginia went to South Dakota where both are buried.If you have the census for 1860 that lists Virginia I would be very interested.I guess I would wonder if either Pierre or Virginia could read or write.Are both her parents listed?Was she listed as Indian?I have her picture and there is no doubt she is Indian.I would find census records back in 1838 a little iffy if folks could not read or write.If you have any record I would appreciate seeing it!Mary
