Re: Theotiste, Conflicting evidence of birth date.Book says Theotis born 11-7-1805 of Catherine Gorveau and Francois Baudoin was baptised 8-12-1821 by parish priest of STe Anne du Detroit.Mother was present. Gabriel
Richard, priest,godmother was Ursule leblanc, wife of Alexander Fraser declared she could not sign her name.Godfather piere Crepeau.
Theotiste also listed as Theresa, Catherine.Last name also Beaudwin,Baudoin, Baudwine.After Jean Baptiste died in 1849 Katherine married Honore' later called Henry Landry and had another family.Had eight children with Jean Baptiste.
Catherine and Honore' Landry had six children, one of whom was Uncle Cubby, also named Henry,who died in 1952 at 100 years of age.
Article from the History of Brown County says Katherine died in 1880 when she was 61 years old.The article also says that John B. died at age 60 when Oliver was 12.This an error in that Theotiste or Catherine married Honore' Landry in 1850, a year after Jean Baptiste died.Oliver would have been ten in 1850.
ve nine children of Jean Baptiste and Theotiste.I verfied most of the information on the family of JeanBaptiste and Theotiste with my grandfather when he described his uncles and aunts and half brothers and half sisters.My grandfather was George LaPlant, son of Nelson who settled in the Marinette area.Nelso's brother lived in Menominee,Mich.
