1 John Batiste Mailloux26
Birth abt 1800, Quebec, Canada
Birth Memo Would be 1793 based on Moore letter. Married at "age 20" would give 1806 with marriage year of 1826. Guessing close to 1800.

Father Joseph Mailloux
Mother Marie Maillet
Marriage 12 Sep 1826, Napierville, Quebec, Canada26,36
Marriage Memo She told gdaughter "St. Joseph, Quebec, Canada
Misc. Notes
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.
