[H61] After the death of his biological father, David and his brother Deloren lived with their mother and step father Henry Sensibaugh

David's first wife, Emma Patrick, died in childbirth at age 28, in 1895. Emma and the newborn child were buried in the same casket. In April 1901 David married Emma Gerstein. They had one son, George. About 1904, Emma left her son and husband and never returned.

Loren first came to Michigan in 1881 to work in the lumber business. He and his wife moved to Michigan in 1892 where they started farming near Vassar and later on a famr near Watrousville. In 1921 they bought a farm 5 miles west of Caro. By the time of their 60th wedding anniversary they had sold their farm and were living in Caro, Michigan.

[H1835] According to notation in the information supplied by Jeannine Lajoie Laforest
Thomas and his wife returned to St. Hyacinthe after their marriage.

[H68] Barbara & John Miller, according to the birth years indicated in the census of 1855 and 1860, were too old to be the offspring of Conrad and Mary. The assumption is that Conrad was widowed from a previous marriage, returned to Bavaria and returned to the USA in 1852.

[H69] Barbara died of Cholera

[H71] Joseph established in L'Anorie. He is the ancestor of all the Gerin-Lajoie of St. Hyacinthe, Ste. Rosalie and St. Simon.

[H72] Marie Magdeleine Grenier's records in the Family History Center also identify her sur-name as Grigner and Gagne

[H73] It is recorded that Jean left St. Dominque for Louisiana and Canada about 1745.

Jean was a Sargent in General Montcalm's Troops at the Plains of Abraham. He was such a cheerful and friendly person, that he was nicknamed "Lajoie" (the happy one) by his comrades of his regiment.

In 1760 he was married and established himself in Yamachiche, Quebec. The paternal farm was situated in the "Petite Terres", southern part of Yamachiche. The farm was transferred to Jean and his wife by his father-in-law, Jean Francoise Grenier. This land stayed in the family of Gerin-Lajoie until recent years. Presently there are no Gerin-Lajoie left in Yamachiche. Jean Gerin-Lajoie is the original ancestor of this family (Jarin, Gerin-Lajoie, Jaret and Jared) according to the registry of Yamachiche.

[H74] In Tanguay's Fr/Can Genealogical Dictionary, Louis was listed as being from "Paroisse des Echelles, Diocese de Grenoble, Dauphine".

Louis-August Gérin of Ménières was listed as being: "Captain of Infantry, Governor of Saint-Domingue, Colony of France in 1717 (present day Dominican Republic/Haiti)"

6th child of Jean-Jacques deGèrin, issue of his second marriage with Claire deGarnier, (archives of the clerk of the Civil Court of Toulon, register 26, folio 96, and of the Parish Registers of the cathedral of Toulon). Born at Toulon the 16th of June 1676, and died the 1st of May 1725 at Saint-Dominque. (General alphabetical list of Officers, etc. of 1627 to 1780, conserved at the archives of the Ministry of the Cononies.)

In the stop of the high halls of the Council of States of 1723, in which the legal claimant served a
few years on the sea in the rank of the guard of the marine and then on land in that of lieutenant in
the regiment of Miromesnil for the war of Italy. In the summer he made captain of the regiment of
Picardie and where he was obvious at many battles and sieges of places where he was
distinguished. d? Hozier added: ?He was married in a foreign country , his prosperity is ignored. It
is by this prosperity of which we?re about to redraw the filiation, after the authentic documents
furnished by his descendants and confirmed by two city judicial decisions, after much to long.

We noted before that the de Gérin that fell in distaff in Provence with Thérése who was the wife of
Jean-Lazare de Ricard, whose descendants picked up the name deGérin Ricard, so therefore,
Louis-Auguste continues the male descendants of de Gérin.

Louis-Auguste went to Saint-Domigue, in 1717, was captain of the infantry, aide-major of the
house of the marquis de Chateaumorau, governor general of Saint-Domingue. At the beginning of
1718, he was married to Marie Fortin, of a family from Normandy, ancient Lord of the Hoguette,
that went to Saint-Domingue and whose armes were:

D?azur, a gold chevron, accompanied by three identical spurs, and one silver crescent, placed in
the forefront.

[H75] In the "Armorial Général de France" Marie-Madeleine Courtin is referred to as Marie Fortin.

" At the beginning of 1718, Louis August deGérin was married to Marie Fortin, of a family from Normandy, ancient Lord of the Hoguette, that went to Saint-Domingue and whose armes were:

D?azur, a gold chevron, accompanied by three identical spurs, and one silver crescent, placed in
the forefront."

[H76] Francois was a farmer in St. Hughes, Quebec.

[H77] According to the publication "Howe Island 19th Century Families" by Russ Waller, U.E., the family changed its surname from Marcil to Marshall with this and all succeeding generations.

[H78] Notation on communication from Jeannine Lajoie Laforest reads:
"Relijieuse July 2, 1862, de l'Hotel-Dieu de St.Hyacinthe"
She joined a religious order in 1862.

[H79] On his request to the Superior Court of Saint-Hyacinthe, province of Quebec (Canada) that
returned the 21st of April 1904, a certified judgement of the origins of deGérin, and established the
ascendance of André of the preceding article and of Thomas, the same for Louis Auguste and his
father Jean-Jacques de Gérin (7th Degree).

A second judgement, returned the 25th of April 1904, by the Probate Court, at Nashua, N.H.
(United States), confirmed the previous judgement.

These two judicial decisions, reconstructed the family name of de Gérin, in showing that they
descend from the Gerini`s of Florence and of de Gérin`s of Provence, how they established the
combined prepared genealogy and legalized the 11th, 12th and 13th of February 1904 at Marseille,
bearing notably that the de Gérin`s and de Gérin-Ricard are the same relationship by Thérése de
Gérin who married Jean-Lazare de Ricard (9th degree). This genealogy was part of the judgement.

[H89] Born in 1578, married by agreement the 16th day of November, 1620 (by past contract before M. Etienne de Morteriis, notary public in the place of Ollioules) with the young lady Isabeau, daughter of Noble Louis Chautard and the lady Anee Aicard. The contract has him as lieutenant in the regiment of Picardie, service he since left.

On the 31st of December, 1649, by a successful act by M. Deidier, notary public of Toulon, he

[H92] In his marriage contract, he is qualified , resident in the City of Marseilles, son of the late Noble Jacques Gèrin, ordinary gentleman of the King.

[H93] information indicates Jacques was a "gentilhomme ordinaire du Roi de France" - translates to "Plain Gentlemen of the King of France" He was named with this quality (Noble), in the will of 1552 by Michel Gèrini, his father, which institutes him as his heir, and states positively that he is of his marriage with the late Jeannette Carbonel, his wife.

[H94] Information indicates Michael was a "écuyer" which translates to mean "Noble Rider".

He was married at Toulon, by past contract, on the 15th of September, 1519 before Antoine Salvatoris, notary public (whose collated copy dated 15 January 1732 by Hugues, possessor of the minutes of the Royal Notary Public at Toulon), with Noble Jeanette Carbonel, daughter of Noble Jacques Carbonel. He wrote his will twice, the 19th March, 1552, at Rivigo in the states of Venice, and a second time at Marseilles; in this last will, he revoked the will of Rovigo

An imperfect abstract of this act, the fact which is otherwise sufficiently supported by a will of the 16th of October, 1547, done by Laurent Gèrini in which he is newly qualified Nobel Laurent Gèrini, captain of 50 men of arms by order of the King, son of the late noble Jean Gèrini of the Republic of Florence. He stated, in addition that he wanted to be buried in the ancient main church of the City of Marseilles, as recalled by

He fought with courage at the storming of Landrecies in 1543 and at the Castle of Emery in 1544. The Duke of Guise, Francois of Lorraine, to make much ado about him, called him "the courageous and wise policeman".

Finally, at his death that occurred in 1547, he was buried in the Cathedral of Marseilles with this
Latin inscription:
"Hic Jacet
(Here Lies)
In spen beatoe immortalitatis
(In the hope of blessed immortality)
Illustris aac Nobilis
(The Illustrious and Noble)

(Born in the East, originating in Florence)

Mepotes moerentes posuere.
(by the mourning descendants.)
Obit anno CIC.IC.XLVII oetatis LXXII"
(He died in the year 1547 aged 72)

[H97] Jean is listed as "noble chevalier" which indicates he was a noble knight.
He is listed as dying in the Levant, in Montana neare Brugié, in the Levant. This is the name formerly applied to the areas along the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, including present day Greece, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Egypt; a more restricted delinition includes only the non-European coastlands. The name "Levant" is still sometimes used to refer to the former French mandates of Lebanon and Syria. This information implies that Jean Gérini was probably a Knight who fought the infidels in the Holy Land.

In addition to his son Laurent, Jean had one daughter who was born posthumously.

[H98] Although born in the Levant, Marie Rose was of Greek ancestry.

[H99] The following appears in the transcripts about Octavien.

"Information according to the handwritten manuscript, prepared in the 18th century by the Rev. Father Révest. The original of this manuscript was presented at that time to the hands of the Contessa Joannis of Verclos born of Gérin.

The first recorded ancestor would be Saint Gérin, mayor of the Palace and Count of Paris martyred in year 676.

Bénone Géréni lived in the XIV century in Florence in Italy."

According to a historical notice on the family, Octavien was married twice, his first wife was Checca Tani who had four children, the second offspring, Jean born 1445, who was the stem of the branch that settled in Provence by which this affiliation (lineage) begins.

[H104] In a Volume entitled "The Emergence of a Nation---II:1849-67; page 293 appears an article regarding Antoine Gérin-Lajoie.

The article recites:
"Antoine was another of the early French-Canadian writers who helped to establish the tradition from which Quebec authors have not deviated until recent years. The eldest of sixteen children of a habitant family of Yamachiche, young Gérin made his mark at the Collège de Nicolet, where at eighteen he wrote a three act tragedy, "Le Jeune Latour". This play......was based upon the legend of the early days of Acadia........................While still a student, Gérin-Lajoie wrote on of the most popular French-Canadian songs, "Un Canadien errant", which admirably expressed the yearning homesickness of the political exiles of 1837-38. Upon his graduation from Nicolet in 1844, Gérin-Lajoie journeyed to New York to learn English, but failing to find employment as a teacher of French - the English-speaking prejudice, fostered by Frenchmen, against French Canadians in this capacity had already developed - he was forced to return ingloriously homeward after seventeen days, instead of the two years on which he had planned.
.......................... Gérins health was unable to withstand the burden of his largely unrenumerated patriotic labors, and in 1847 he resumed the study of law...................... his initiation into political life as a parliamentary correspondent soon led him back into politics as the secretary of Augustin-Norbert Morin the founder of "La Minerve" and speaker of the assembly from 1848 to 1851. ........... Failing to win success at the bar, to which he was admitted in 1848, he gladly accepted a post as copiyist and paymaster in the Department of Public Works when the French-Canadians first received a share of patronage. Withthe exception of a few months,the rest of his life was passed as a civil servant in varing caqpacitie.
......................Gérin-Lajoie wrote a popular "Catéchisme politique" published in 1851, and in 1852 spent some months at Boston in order to improve his English and to prepare a study of the political, social, religious, and industrial development of the United States. ....................while Gérin-Lajoie earned his living first as translator for the House of Commons and after 1856 as assistant parliamentary librarian. ................................... During the stay of the government at Toronto, Gérin-Lajoie became an intimate of Etienne Parent, then deputy provincial secretary of Lower Canada, and married his eldest daughter in 1858. ...................................of the old settlements along the St. Lawrence, from which a significant number of young men were already in the 1860's beginning to drift away to the mill towns of New England, there to be absorbed into the American melting pot and lost to French Canada. .........................."

[H110] Martin Family
Telegraph-Journal, Friday, August 5, 1994; p. A7
"The Martins in Acadia descend from two distinct families. Pierre Martin, who came from Indre-et-Loire, France, came to Acadia with his wife, Catherine Vigneau, and a son, in 1636 aboard the St. Jehan. Brought first apple trees to Acadia from France.
His second son, Mathieu, is considered to have been the first child born in Acadia. To mark this occasion, Louis XIV granted the seigniory of Cobequid, now Truro to the pioneer family in 1684. The
Mathieu-Martin high school in Dieppe commemorates the memory of this early Acadian-born seigneur.
Another Martin family is found in Acadia during the 1671 census, that of Barnabé Martin, born in 1636 and married to Jean Pelletret. The 1678 census of Port-Royal shows that he had six children and that he lived along the banks of the L'Equille river.
This community eventually became known as Village Barnabé.
There has been much speculation as to Barnabé Martin's birthplace, but, to this very day, the mystery has not been resolved".

Notes for GASPARD BOUCHER:
Gaspard Boucherville, QC and Nicole Lemaire were two of the premier
colonists
of QC having emigrated to QC with Giffard and The Company of
the Hundred Associates, granted their charter in 1627.
Gaspard and his wife brought with them their five surviving children,
Pierre, the eldest Nicolas who was 24 years old and unmarried when he
died in Trois-Rivers in 1647 and their three daughters, Marie, Marguerite
and Madeleinewho, later on married into respectively, the LaFond, Toupin
and Beaudry families. The children had all been baptized at the Church of
Notre-Dame of Montagne, Perche, France with the exception of Madeleine
who, to all appearances, was born during the the course of the voyage on
the ocean. The registers of Montagne, Perche, France, and of QC have no
record of her birth but the censusof QC taken in 1666, gives her an age
of about 36 years.
Notes for GASPARDBOUCHER:
According to Jette Page 136. He was a carpenter like his father. Gaspard
and his wife were two of the first colonists of Quebec, having emigrated
with Giffard and the Company of the Hundred Associates. Their charter was
granted in 1627.
The name Boucher in French translates to Butcher. At some point in
history, someone in that family had been a butcher, and that gave the
family its surname.
