Hi Rose,
The dates I put for Dominic and Genevieve are wrong. I confused them with other people in my lineage. I don't have any dates for them or any info on them before they came to the U.S. That's what I'm looking for. I'd also like to find who their parents were so I could go back further in my Couturier heritage.
My grandfather Dominic's parents, Dominic and Genevieve (Richotte) Couturier, came to the U.S. with their five sons in the spring of 1869. They traveled by boat from their home in Trois Rivieres, Canada, where they had owned 300 acres on Riviere de la Vache, at the confluence of the St. Maurice and St. Lawrence Rivers, 95 miles northeast of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec, Canada. Shortly after arriving in Michigan they purchased land from the Indians, an 80 acre farm located on French Road in what used to be called Centerville Township in Lake Leelanau, Michigan. Their first dwelling was a tiny log house with dirt floors. They later built a wood frame house, shaped in the form of a "T."
Dominic died soon after getting settled on their land. The story told is that he went out into the woods to cut logs one day and "got all sweated up, took sick, and died suddenly."
Dominic and Genevieve's five sons were: Dominic II (my grandfather) married Josephine Lamie; Noel married Emma Rosingol; Ernest married Elizabeth (Perron/Perrault), widow of Louis Boutain, and lived in New Hampshire; Arthur (no info); Joseph (no info). Your Hattie "Payment" could have been Elizabeth "Hattie" Perron/Perrault. Do you know anything more about her at all? Also, do you have anymore info about your husband's grandfather, William Ernest Couturier?
Edith
