From the 'Adjutor
and Marie' Great-Branch...
a photo history.
The
lineage for this branch is Jehan, Germain, Germain, Charles, Jean-Baptiste
(Jean), François, Germain, Urgel, Adjutor. The first 4 generations
were born, raised and buried in Acadia except for Charles, who died at
sea, during the crossing, and Jehan who came from France.
Jean,
son of Charles, was deported to France, and from there to St. Jacques de
l’Achigan, Quebec (1774), where his son François was born ten years
later. François married Marie Houde in 1811, who six years later
gave birth to Germain in 1817. Germain, later migrated to St. Alphonse
Rodriguez (Berthier Co.) with his wife Marguerite Richard in 1841.
One
of Germain and Marguerite's sons was Urgel (1841-1929) who later bought
a concession in St. Côme (Berthier) after marrying Olive Aumont (St.
Alphonse, 1863). The concession was composed of sand and rock, and did
not offer sufficient agricultural resources. So, he oriented his efforts
towards the forest exploitation. With the passing of the years, the lumber
industry became important in the area. Copping Mill was established in
Joliette and soon sub-contractors were hired. Adjutor (1863-1942), the
eldest of Urgel’s sons was one of those contractors. He passed the business
on to his son Joseph. |

THÉRIAULT, 1891-1979
Son
of Adjutor. Married Parmelia Arbour from the parish of St. Emelie de l’Energie.
Had 21 children. He sub-contracted for Consolidated Paper Inc and contributed
to economic development in the area, hiring more than 100 men in the 1950s.. |

and married Diane Chouinard (1970). He completed his studies, found work

From the 'Joseph and Théogenie' Great-Branch...
a photo history.
| The
lineage for this branch is Jehan, Claude, Germain, Claude, Joseph (I),
Charles-Marie, Charles, Dolphis, Joseph (II). The first four generations
were born, raised and were buried in Acadia except of course for Jehan
who was born in France. Joseph (I), son of Claude, migrated
from Rivière aux Canards, Acadie to the Kamouraska area of the Saint
Lawrence in 1759 after his daughter, Catherine was born. She was baptized
that same year in Saint François de la Rivière du Sud, ,
Québec, Canada.
Later
around 1821-1822 after marrying in Sainte-Anne de la Pocatière,
Joseph's grandson Charles migrated down to the Upper Saint-John Valley
in the Saint-Basile parish area (present-day area of Saint-Jacques on the
Madawaska River). Charles' son, Dolphis later was one of the founders
of the new village of Saint-Jacques and helped build the first Catholic
Church in that town in 1873. Prior to the church being built, Dolphis and
his wife, Christine Sophie Soucy opened their home for Sunday Holy Mass.
Dolphis died in 1887 and was buried in the Saint-Jacques Cemetery. It is
noteworthy that another of his sons, Adolphe settled in New Hampshire where
he studied law and become an attorney. One of Adolphe's sons, Marcel was
also very well educated and was professor at Dartmouth.
Dolphis'
son, Joseph (II) helped develop the Saint Jacques village by operating
a saw and flour mill in the Moulin Mourneault area of Saint Jacques. In
1882, he married a teacher whose name was Théogenie Ouellet, from
Rimouski who had been going to school in Edmundston. In fact, her mother,
Elizabeth Theriault, was a great-grand-daughter of Joseph (I), and the
progenitor of the Elizabeth Theriault and Benoit Ouellet Great-Branch.
Joseph and Théogenie were third cousins. |

was Joachim's god-mother. |

| Later
around 1903, Joseph and Théogenie moved to Saint-Hilaire across
the Saint-John River from the old parish of Sainte-Luce. In Saint-Hilaire,
Joseph owned his own saw and flour mill located a mile or two west in present-day
Baker-Brook. In Saint-Hilaire, Joseph and Théogenie finished their
family of 13 children. Around 1912-1913, Joseph was beset with poor health
and turned his mill over to his son, Joachim, who had just married in 1909
a few years before and was working for the Frazer Mill in Baker-Brook.
Joseph died soon after in 1915 as the sounds of World War I were heard
in Europe. Théogenie lived on until 1952. |
