Jean Baptiste/Borome/Boson/etc son of Francois & Seraphine Patenaude

[This post was written by Bev Farrington, who has asked me to publish it here. There is one comment I have added below in brackets. -BC]


I believe I have found the proof that Borome/Boson/etc. was Jean Baptiste and the son of Francois & Seraphine Patenaude who was baptized 14 Mar 1825, St-Philippe, Laprairie.

My belief: his 1st wife was Angeline Douglas aka Duclos, married @1849/50 and that she was deceased by 1860; and that his 2nd wife was Marie Angeline Labonte, married after 1856 but before 1860 USC.

Recapping the early censuses:

1850 USC - Black Brook - LABOMBARD (Indexed as LABAMCARD) - Only a few houses from his parents Francois & Seraphine. They are residing next to Benjamin Douglas and his wife Felicite Dupuis who married in 1841 at St-Jacques-le-Mineur, Laprairie. The record does not indicate that he had a prior wife. His father was Charles but his mother's name is unreadable. I'm confident that Angeline was closely related, possibly a younger sister. No success yet of finding her on Drouin.
Bosone, 24, Canada
Angeline, 21 Canada

1860 USC - Black Brook - BOMBARD - Next to his brother Francois JR & Hermine:
Bason, 25, Canada
Mary, 22, Canada
Xavier, 4, male, Canada
COMMENT: The ages for this couple are off by about 10 years from the 1850

1870 USC - Black Brook - Indexed as BOROMR BONEBOELL - Living between his brother Francois JR & Hermine and whom I believe to be one of her brothers, Francois Labonty JR & Emelie:
Boroma, 45, Canada
Mary, 30, Canada
Exevia, 15, female, NY <indexed as EVERNE>

1880 USC - Black Brook - BOMBARD
Borom, 45, Canada
Mary, 44, Canada
Benjamin, 8, NY
Frank, 7, NY
Joseph, 2/12, NY

I have had the following census in my UNKNOWN folder almost since the beginning of this project. Then I started working on the 1910 to 1930 group, and it fell right into place.

1900 USC - Black Brook - LABOMBARB
John, 61, born Mar 1839, NY, widow, 5 children/3 still living <female>
Joseph, 20, born Mar 1880, NY, single, son
Mina, 7, born Jan 1893, NY, granddaughter
COMMENT: I suspect it was supposed to say Mrs. John
COMMENT: Mina was Florence Melvina, born Jan 1893 to Francois/Frank and his first wife Melvina Rocque who died soon after this child's birth. The child was NOT with her father and stepmother in the 1900 USC.
COMMENT: See comment under Joseph regarding his marriages.

Recapping variations of ages, birth places, names, etc:
Birth/Baptism = JB/1825.....Wives ??? No records found
1850 USC = Bosone/24, @1826....Angeline/21, @1829, Canada
1860 USC = Bason/25, @1835....Mary/22, @1838, Canada
1870 USC = Boroma/45, @1825....Mary/30, @1840, Canada
1880 USC = Boron/45, @1835....Mary/44, @1836, Canada
1900 USC = JB/deceased.....Mary/61, Mar 1839, NY
1910 USC = ..........Mary/73, @1837, NY
1920 USC = ..........Mary/81, @1839, NY
1930 USC = ..........Mary/91, @1839, NY
1871 B/Bp = Denis & Mary Labonte
1873 B/Bp = John B. & Mary Labonte
1881 B/Bp = John Batisse & Angeline Bombard
1893 or 1903/M = John & Mary Labonte

Immaculate Conception of Keeseville - Serving as Godparents:

1854 - Boron LeBombard & Severine Douglas - child of Francois JR & Hermine Menard
1856 - Boson LeBombard & Emily Chartier - child of David LaBonte & Rosalie Martin
1859 - Boyon LeBombard & Mary LaBonte - child of Sarah LaBonte & Harriet Bodro
COMMENT: The child was named Sarah and I believe it was a transcription error to assign that name to the father. I checked all other entries and do not know who the father was.

COMMENT: David LaBonte married Rosalie Martin in 1855 at St. John the Baptist of Keeseville. His parents were Francois LaBonte & Marie Decelles. I've not been able to locate a marriage record for them, nor any children on Drouin. There were many dit names used with Labonte and the most prevalent one in the Keeseville area was Marotte. I strongly suspect that Marie Angeline was one of their children.

COMMENT: Further substantiation (in my opinion) of two wives, is the fact that Mary stated in both 1900 and 1910 that she had 5 children and 3 still living. That first child was not hers, the last five were. The two deceased by 1900 were Anna and Benjamin. I used a wide variety of search options looking for Benjamin up through the 1930 and found none. That would leave John-Francis, Joseph, and Eliza.

1. CERINE/SERINA/XAVIER
1860 USC - XAVIER, male, age 4, Canada, w/parents
1870 USC - EVERNE or EVRISSE, female, age 15, NY, w/parents
Not w/parents in 1880 USC - probably married
Cerina (f) to Moses LeBombard & Cerine Douglas - Born 9, baptized 18 May 1856, Immaculate Conception of Keeseville - Godparents: Francois LeBombard & Felicite Dupuis
COMMENT: I believe this child is the one shown of varying names and birth locations, and listed as child #1, and that Moses is JB/Borome/etc. and Cerine is actually Angeline. The volume is chockfull of errors and question marks, so the original records must have been awful to transcribe. For whatever reason, the child was listed as a male and born in Canada in the 1850, but I'm confident the children are one and the same, and also the same as the Cerine of 1856.

2. ANNA P. - born 4, baptized 24 Jul 1871 to Denis LaBombard & Mary LaBonte - Godparents: Solomen Maier & Philomene Toussaint - Holy Name of Ausable Forks
COMMENT: No death record, nor any cemetery listing, but apparently died young - Not w/parents in 1880

3. BENJAMIN - born @1871
1880 USC - age 8
1900 USC - Not found
COMMENT: The name given this child furthers my belief that there is a connection to Benjamin Douglas/Duclos.

4. JEAN FRANCOIS aka Francis aka Frank - born 31 Jan, baptized 23 Feb 1873 as John F., to John B. LaBombard & Mary LaBonte - Godparents (?) Liberty & Melvina Michaud - Holy Name of Ausable Forks
Married 1st to Malvina ROCQUE, 14 Apr 1892, St. Augustine's of Peru
Daughter FLORENCE MALVINA - born 23 Jan, baptized 2 Feb 1893 - Godparents: Joseph Rocque & Marie Gallante, St. Augustine's of Peru
Wife Malvina Rocque - Buried 4 Feb 1893, St. Augustine's of Peru
Married 2nd to Anna McGee, 17 Apr 1895, St. Augustine's of Peru
COMMENT: Frank's wife: Mary, Hannah, Anna, Louise Ann McGee aka Mayotte/Mailloux.
Son FRANCIS ULRIC ELDRID - born 13, baptized 19 Apr 1896 - Godparents: Narcisse McGee & Louise Charette, St. Augustine's of Peru - Married as Eldred to Helen J. GREEN, 8 Jan 1920, St. Augustine's of Peru
Daughter DORA IRENE - born 7, baptized 15 Oct 1899 - Godparents: Peter L. Soulia & Henriette McGee, St. Augustine's of Peru - Married Hector Valerian SAVAGE, 8 Jan 1920, St. Augustine's of Peru
Daughter EDNA MARGUERITE - born 12, baptized 30 Nov 1902 - Godparents: Walter Fabien McGee & Maggy Labonte, St. Augustine's of Peru
St. Augustine Cemetery, Ausable Forks
Plot C2:
Frank E. Bombard, 1873 to 1959 & Hannah McGee, 1875 to 1955
Eldred F. Bombard, 1896 to 1977 & Helen Green, 1896 to 1961
Florence Bombard, 1893 to xxxx
Plot C3:
Frank K. LaBombard, <no dates> & Malvina M. Rock, 1 Mar 1872 to 2 Dec 1893
COMMENT: Malvina's death date does not match with the church register date.

5. JOSEPH W. - born Mar 1880 per 1900 USC, and age 2/12 in 1880 USC
Married Alvina/Eveline LAFONTAINE aka LaFountain, 29 Jan 1893, Holy Name, Ausable Forks
COMMENT: Is there a transcription error on the marriage date? Joseph is single and w/mother in 1900 and age of 20. 1910 USC states he had been married 4 years, so @1906. 1930 USC states he married at age 23, so @1903. [Bev and I both feel that the 1893 date is in error, and that 1903 or later is more likely -BC]
Son HAROLD born @1908.
Married 2nd to Laura UNKNOWN, @1917.

6. ELIZA - baptized 19 Dec 1881, no age or birthdate cited - Godparents: John & Lydia Bombard - Holy Name of Ausable Forks - not w/mother in 1900 USC
Did she marry Eugene Gravelle @1897 and reside at Dannemora in 1900?
