Joseph Seymour

Update April 28, 2017:
I found two articles about Joseph Seymour's death. and included information about Blanche Seymour remarrying.

Joseph, my great grandfather, was the sixth child and the fourth son of Charles and Charlotte Seymour. He was born in September 6, 1891.

Charles Seymour

Charles was married in the United States to Charlotte Robert in the Marquette, Michigan area in 1874.  I haven't found any indication that he lived or worked in that area.

Charles Simard

Charles Seymour, my great great grandfather, was the first Seymour in my family to come to the US.  He was also my first brick wall.

The Plains of Abraham

Noel Simard's Bride in New France was Mary-Madeline Racine.  Women were rare in New France, and Madeline was from an old and respected family.  Her mother was the daughter of Abraham Martin, an early explorer of New France.
