Married in St. Joseph, 18 miles from Montreal. ca. 1815-1820, probably. This date is really loose -- the letter says she was b. 1798 and married at 15. Death Cert says born 1800 and married at 24? Given the number and spacing of children and that they usually come faster at first, my guess is that they were married a bit later, probably around 1820 or 1825. Later moved to Trois Rivieres, Quebec Moved to Redwood, Jefferson County in New York State, probably abt 1837. Moved to Watertown in Jefferson Co., NY abt 1844 Finally moved to Mt. Clemens, where they located on the Rivard Farm near Lake St. Clair about 1854.
