I am trying to verify the Brow (Breault, etc) family connection of my gg-grandmother, Virginia Brow. I know from her dau.(my g-grandmother) Priscilla's death certificate that Virginia was married to George LaFave. From census records I know they were both from "Fr. Canada" & came to Mich in 1878.
The 1880 census shows them in Saginaw Co. Mich. with 2 dau., 3 nephews (listed as "Brew" that I believe should be "Brow") & 3 males, surname: St. Mary, Relation listed as "other" From census records I know:
George said he was born Aug, 1853, Fr. Canada
Virginia b. Feb 1854, same & were married for 28 yrs in 1900. 8 children but only 4 lived to be adults. I have found that:
dau. 1: Virginia - b. CAN married Gideon Belanger in Mich.
dau. 2: Rosa - b. Mich, married Fred J. Bowen
dau. 3: Priscilla - b. Leelanau Co. MI, 1882, married Ernest Hunt. d. 1952, Grand Rapids Mich.
Son: Mose or Moses - b. Leelanau Co, Mich. May 1891, married Pearl d. Grand Rapids Mich. Aug, 1857.
There are TONS of Brow families found in records of the Leelanau/Grand Traverse, MI area. From files online that list sources, I suspect that 'my' Virginia is a dau. of Nazaire Brault & Osithe St. Marie. A Marie Virginia Ludgerie is listed as their youngest child. I believe the nephews in the 1880 census are her brother Ambrose's (wife Philomine Martin)sons. There are some discrepancies in dates & I hate to take anything for granted.
I have other info on some of these families if anyone is interested. I would appreciate hints, info or leads.
