Native American links and the Pooler (Poulin) Genealogy
My Grandmother Germaine told me that we had "indian" blood in the family. I have completed most of pedigrees for both her father and mother.
I recently discovered that Joseph Poolin (Pooler), the brother of Germaine's grandfather, Olivier Poulin, enlisted in the Union Army during the Civil War. He gave his address as Moose River, a town just north of Jackman, Maine, which is not far from the Maine/Quebec border.
My genealogical research of church records in Quebec had prior to that time only shown "Poulin" as a last name in that line. Yet it appears the Poulins in my line changed their names whenever they entered Maine. Perhaps they were seeking work, or were hunting in Maine and for some reason chose to use aliases during that time.
Perhaps it was a common occurance during that time. Has anyone heard of the "practice" during the 1800s?
After accepting the fact that the name Pooler was also a possible alias in my pedigree I found mention of a mention of a Pooler -- who may have been a member of the Penobscot Tribe -- in the papers of George Washington during the Revolutionary War.
Anyways, my great great grandfather, Olivier Poulin, alias "Levi Pooler" married a Sylvie Jacques on 13.Oct.1857 in St-Joseph de Beauce. He was the son of Isaie Poulin and Marcelline Le'tourneau, who married on 15.Oct.1833 in St-Joseph de Beauce, Quebec.
Sylvie Jacques, the wife of Olivier Poulin (Levi Pooler) was the daughter of Gaspard Jacques, who married Ursule Cloutier on 13.Oct.1857 in St-Joseph de Beauce.
If you have any further information to add to this line, I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks
