Denis LAVALLEE Family--Wife Catherine Francoeur-. Wife was at least part Indian. They married in 1826 but they had a daughter married in 1838 & it said she was of age so she was at least 21. However, they were given as the Parents of the girl Catherine LAVALLEE. I believe they also had a daughter Mary LAVALLEE who married a Simon MARTIN who may also have been part Indian. She had a daughter Catherine MARTIN Bpt. at Pentanguishene Ste. Anne's Church in 1835. Denis LAVALLEE was the Godfather. I believe Denis & Catherine LAVALLEE- LEVALLEE had children before their marriage. I can't find out where Simon MARTIN & Mary LEVALLEE were married & when. They had a daughter Bpt. at Mackinac Island, MI also in 1843. It says she was 6 1/2 months old & born in the Missouri Territory. I believe Simon must have been a voyageur. They had a Son Simon Jr. & a daughter Rosene. I don't know where they were born. Denis Levallee came to Tiny Twp in about 1826. They had children Bpt. at Pentanguishene. Please contact Darlene.

I'm descended from John Campbell (born c.1806) in Scotland and his wife Elizabeth (nee Mitchell) (born c.1806) in Berwickshire, Scotland. They had several sons: James (c1828) who left the family farm in Scotland to move to a farm in Sussex, England; Alexander (c.1831); John (c.1833) and William (c.1835) - all born in Scotland. The whole family (minus James) emigrated to Canada sometime between 1841 and 1881. I have traced them in the 1881 Canadian census to Nottasawaga in Simcoe North. At this time John and Elizabeth are living with their sons John and Alexander; and on the same census there is a William Campbell also living in the area that may well be their other son. John Campbell (senior) is a Farmer in Nottasawaga at this time. That's as much info as I know.
