Des Roches family of Vermont
This has been the branch which has not grown for 20 years for me.I have been unable to get my "stone's" (Des Roches) out of Vermont, and If anyone could help me at all it would be greatly appreciated!This is all the information that I have...
My grandfather was Maurice Joseph Stone, he was born 20 June 1922 in richmond vermont.His father was Clarence Joseph stone, born 27 Feb. 1893 in richmond Vermont.He married Annonciade "Nancy" Albert.His father was Nazaire "Ezra" Joseph Stone Des Roches/Des Rochers.His brothers and sisters were: Elmina"Minnie" born Aug. 1857, and married Frank F. Vanier on 22 Nov. 1887 in Richmond Vermont.Olive was born 30 may 1872 in Richmond, and died 26 feb. 1929 in colchester vermont.Jeremiah Jr. was born 15 Nov. 1875 in Richmond Vermont.He married Lena Julia Bean on 2 Oct. 1900 in Essex Jct. vermont, and Died on 19 Jan 1961 in Rutland Vermont.Rosaline was born march 1864, was married to Stephen Mayotte on 23 nov. 1880 in Richmond Vermont, and died Feb. 1886 in Richmond.Joseph was born 5 may 1867, married julia Agnes Lusignon/Zeno 7 sept. 1880 in Richmond Vermont and died 8 june 1942 in Richmond Vermont.Salina was born 8 mar 1870 in Richmond Vermont, married to Edmund J. Vasseur on 27 sept. 1893 in Rutland vermont. she died 23 July 1924 in Rutland.Josephine was born 4 sept. 1861 married 11 oct. 1880 in Richmond vermont to George ChampagneEZRA was born 25 June 1865 in ? Canada.( I assume Quebec)He married Elisabeth Charland.Ezra's father was Jeremiah Desroches and he was born oct. 1834 and he was married to Julia Tessier (on gravestone) tacy/tracy on vermont records.She was born sept. 1833.I believe that when the family came down from Quebec that Jeremiah's brother came along.His name was John (Jean) Desroches and he was born 1 april 1846 in ? canada. (on his death certificate it says:) his father was Peter Stone and mother was Jennie Dufresne.The person who informed about his death was his son Fred Stone of Richmond Vermont. But I do believe that this same John stone was a god parent, he and his wife to Elizabeth Charland, which was Ezra Stone's wife. On that certificate his name was peter Stone, so I'm thinking his name could of been Jean Pierre?Any how, this also would show that the Charland family at least during a recent time frame are intertwined with the Des Roches family twice.According to the 1880 census in richmond vermont, John was 44, his wife was flora, age 30 both from canada and they had 5 children all born in vermont.John worked for the Vermont Central Railway, his nephew Ezra took up the trade as well as John's own son Fred Stone.
this is as much information that I have.this line like I have said has stumped me for several years.All the documentation which has come out of Vermont has simply stated that they were from Canada.They fail to mention a city or province.Since the family was french speaking again I must assume it was Quebec or perhaps N.B or N.S.Any or all information would be greatly appreciated!
