Francois Sirois dit Duplessis: The second generation on their own |
The death of Francois in 1737 left the family as follows:
 |
Marie Francoise Roy dit Desjardins: age 42 |
with 4 step children
|
Francois Sirois dit Duplessis II -- age 22 |
|
|
|
Jean Baptiste Sirois dit Duplessis -- age 18 |
|
Marie Catherine Sirois dit Duplessis -- age 16 |
and eight children from her marriage
|
Marie Madeleine -- age 15 |
|
|
|
Maurice -- age 9 |
|
Augustin Hyacinthe -- age 8 |
|
Joseph -- age 7 |
|
Pierre -- age 5 |
|
Marie Angèlique -- age 3 |
|
Charles -- age 17 months |
Charles, the baby, perhaps not strong enough to survive the famine, died just four months later in March of 1738.
Over the next few years the family would begin to spread apart. The four surviving children from Francois' marriage to Marie Anne Thiboutot would soon be of age to marry. Three settled in the parish of St Anne de la Pocatière, just upriver on the St Lawrence from Rivière Ouelle. The fourth, along with the children of Marie Francoise Roy established themselves in the parish of Kamouraska, about 10+ miles to the east.
