MAROTTE dit Labonté M-Madeleine (1773-1861)
I have been unable to prove with certainty the birth of Charles second wife Marie, but according to her marriage to Charles, she was the daughter of Joseph Marotte dit Labonté and Marie-Angèlique (Croteau). She was born circa 1781, in Saint-Antoine de Tilly, Lotbinière, Québec. I was able to find the marriage of Marie's parents in 1775 where her father is identified as Joseph Marot (Meros) the writing is difficult to decypher.
From there I began to search the Drouin Collection for 1702-1794.(1) There I found what I believe to be the birth of Marie Marot but the writing is nearly impossible to read. If it is right she would have been born in 1781.
The couple was married in Saint-Antoine de Tilly January 11, 1813,(2) and they had one child documented and possibly two.
I was able to find Marie's death by searching through the census. She was living with her daughter Adelaide in 1852 but not present in the 1861 census. I went back to the Drouin Collection and found she had died March 20, 1861,(3) before the information for the 1961 census was gathered.
