Henry Odette Lapoint d. 1888 Keene, NH
Henry Lapoint died Jan. 29, 1888 in Keene and his tombstone says b. Canada 1784,104 years old. Henry and Mary Melvina (from Canada) had 6 children (probably all born in Fr. Canada). One son was Joseph Cipio Lapoint (b. 1839 Canada d. 1906 NH) married to Calista Justine St. York (b. 1824 VT-d. 1903 NH). Joseph Cipio was a blacksmith in Keene, NH in 1870's. I have the family traced to present through two daughters Mary and Lucy Lapoint but can not trace Henry to his family in Canada. Old family records list the name as Odette though they went by Lapoint in US. Most probably it has Audet dit Lapoint connections in Canada. My grandmother (Berdia Patnode b. 1891)was the great-granddaughter of Henry. Can anyone help with the French Canadian roots?
