Birth certificate says father: Elize Daigrepont. I also have a copy of a page from the 'McGuffey's First Eclectic Reader', Elize writes in his own hand the birth date and name of Michel, as well as the names of his other children. Amy Ducrepont Note: Died at 3 1/2 years and buried in Plaucheville cemetary. This was brought to my attention by Melvin Daigrepont 4/13/99. I had always thought there were only 7 children of Sidonia and Elise Daigrepont. Including Amy, would make a total of 8 children. Note: The above information was gathered April 4, 1999. I was told that sometimes the name was spelled like it was pronounced. Notice the different spellings for Daigrepont.
The question mark dates are still being researched. All other dates and spellings are coming from church records and Melvin Daigrepont. Church records found at: |
