      Paul,

      Thanks for the very interesting info about CFB.

      The Report I referred to, from the Town of Wilna, was from my father's files. It is not in great shape so I'll send you a copy by regular mail.

      I'll also send you a copy of the document I have regarding CFB's intention to become a citizen to see if it's the same document you have. It was also in my father's things.

      I have nothing regarding CFB's wife Jean Marie. All I have is her name in the first report, the one from the Town of Wilna. As you probably know, the Town of Wilna has been a part of Fort (Camp) Drum since the early '40's or maybe before.

      All I have on Susan is from a headstone in St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery in Evans Mills. It's difficult to read. I think it says:

      SUSAN
      wife of
      Francis Becha (spelling)
      former wife of
      Peter Croissani
      died Jan 14, 1885
      79yrs 10 mo

      Susan was born in 1804. CFB was born in 1786 so Susan was only about 18 years younger so it's possible they could have married at least from an age stand point. There is a headstone in the Evans Mills Cemetery marked:

      John B. Bichet and Julia Moureaux came to this country from France, the former in 1828, and the latter a few years previously. They were married in 1836, and the same year bought a farm on road 34, in Le Ray. He subsequently added to his wealth by purchasing two other farms, one on road 33, and the other on road 34. They had born to them five sons and three daughters, namely: Louis V., Joseph J., Francis F., John, Mary J., Celia, and Peter. Mr. Bichet died February 18, 1886, and Mrs. Bichet January 29, 1866. Peter Bichet worked at home on the farm until he was 18 years of age, alternating his labors with attendance at the common schools winters, with one term at Kingston College. He removed to Croghan, Lewis County, where he conducted a custom boot and shoe store. The confinement in the store was not conducive to his health, and he sold out. He married Ellen, daughter of Michael Kelly, of Belfort, Lewis County, and returned with his bride to his old home in Le Ray. He soon after purchased of Noel Conway the old Lewis farm on road 35. Mr. Bichet has had born to him three sons, viz.: Ralph E., who died in infancy, and Lawrence J. and Adrien J., who survive.

      Paul,

      Thanks for the very interesting info about CFB.

      The Report I referred to, from the Town of Wilna, was from my father's files. It is not in great shape so I'll send you a copy by regular mail.

      I'll also send you a copy of the document I have regarding CFB's intention to become a citizen to see if it's the same document you have. It was also in my father's things.

      I have nothing regarding CFB's wife Jean Marie. All I have is her name in the first report, the one from the Town of Wilna. As you probably know, the Town of Wilna has been a part of Fort (Camp) Drum since the early '40's or maybe before.

      All I have on Susan is from a headstone in St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery in Evans Mills. It's difficult to read. I think it says:

      SUSAN
      wife of
      Francis Becha (spelling)
      former wife of
      Peter Croissani
      died Jan 14, 1885
      79yrs 10 mo

      Susan was born in 1804. CFB was born in 1786 so Susan was only about 18 years younger so it's possible they could have married at least from an age stand point. There is a headstone in the Evans Mills Cemetery marked:

      John B. Bichet and Julia Moureaux came to this country from France, the former in 1828, and the latter a few years previously. They were married in 1836, and the same year bought a farm on road 34, in Le Ray. He subsequently added to his wealth by purchasing two other farms, one on road 33, and the other on road 34. They had born to them five sons and three daughters, namely: Louis V., Joseph J., Francis F., John, Mary J., Celia, and Peter. Mr. Bichet died February 18, 1886, and Mrs. Bichet January 29, 1866. Peter Bichet worked at home on the farm until he was 18 years of age, alternating his labors with attendance at the common schools winters, with one term at Kingston College. He removed to Croghan, Lewis County, where he conducted a custom boot and shoe store. The confinement in the store was not conducive to his health, and he sold out. He married Ellen, daughter of Michael Kelly, of Belfort, Lewis County, and returned with his bride to his old home in Le Ray. He soon after purchased of Noel Conway the old Lewis farm on road 35. Mr. Bichet has had born to him three sons, viz.: Ralph E., who died in infancy, and Lawrence J. and Adrien J., who survive.

      John B. Bichet and Julia Moureaux came to this country from France, the former in 1828, and the latter a few years previously. They were married in 1836, and the same year bought a farm on road 34, in Le Ray. He subsequently added to his wealth by purchasing two other farms, one on road 33, and the other on road 34. They had born to them five sons and three daughters, namely: Louis V., Joseph J., Francis F., John, Mary J., Celia, and Peter. Mr. Bichet died February 18, 1886, and Mrs. Bichet January 29, 1866. Peter Bichet worked at home on the farm until he was 18 years of age, alternating his labors with attendance at the common schools winters, with one term at Kingston College. He removed to Croghan, Lewis County, where he conducted a custom boot and shoe store. The confinement in the store was not conducive to his health, and he sold out. He married Ellen, daughter of Michael Kelly, of Belfort, Lewis County, and returned with his bride to his old home in Le Ray. He soon after purchased of Noel Conway the old Lewis farm on road 35. Mr. Bichet has had born to him three sons, viz.: Ralph E., who died in infancy, and Lawrence J. and Adrien J., who survive.
