Did you get any feed back?
My aunt who has worked on the bissonette / bissonnette north American connection. As I recall her research suggest that there was only one "Bissonnette" recorded to have entered into North America before 1900 and that was into Canada ~ St. Lawrence Seaway area circa 1600's.
Thus all Bissonettes are related some way?
Large Catholic families were the rule.
That would mean the L & C 'rower' would have been related~some how.

Kit_Collings — 2010-04-09 19:47:30Z

I do research on Wyoming. I am looking for informaton to connect Bissonette with Auguste Archambault who had a trading post at Devil's Gate near Independence Rock. In the late 1840's Bissonette was at Fort Laramie. In the 1850's he ran a grog shop at Deer Creek.
Here is some other info I have found Joseph Bissonette1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 (M)

Joseph was born at Port of St. Louis, Spainish Part of Illinois, in 1818.11 He was the son of Louis Lacroix Bissonet. He moved in 1836 at Port of St. Louis, Spainish Part of Illinois. In 1836, at the age of 18 he had headed west to seek his fortune like his ancestors before him..11 He married Julie Hubert at Fort Laramie Region, USA, circa 1836. According to historian Brian Strayer, few traders "associated with the Sioux intimately learned to understand and appreciate their government and organization." Those who did, he adds, "left sparse records revealing their attitudes."55 [55. Strayer, "Fur Trappers' attitudes," p.39]
Fur trader Joseph Bissonette married into the Lakotas twice. His first wife, with whom he had seven children, was Oglala; his second wife, a Brule, bore him fourteen more. While serving as an interpreter for the Brules and Oglalas, he won the confidence of several Lakota leaders, including Red Cloud. In 1875 Bissonette accompanied the Oglala and Brule delegation to Washington DC, where he is said by some to have played a key role in persuading both Red Cloud and Spotted Tail to consider selling the Black Hills to the United States. James Bordeaux called Mato (the Bear) by his Lakota family and associates married a sister of Swift Bear, a prominent Brule itancan. Also engaged in the fur trade, Bordeaux's family ties brought him enough Brule customers during the 1840's to give his employer, the American Fur Company, the competitive edge in the Upper Platte country. Two other fur traders forged ties to the Red Cloud family: John Richard Sr., whom often transported illegal supplies of trade liquor; and Swiss-born Jules Ecoffey, who operated in the Fort Laramie area after 1854.56" [56.McDermott, "Joseph Bissonette," pp.50, 52, 60; McDermott, "James Bordeaux," p. 69; Robinson, "Journals and letter books," p. 177; Unrau, Tending the talking wire, p 56.].11,16,1 Joseph's occupation: Trader at Fort Platte Region in 1842.11 Joseph's occupation: at Fort Laramie Region, USA, in 1843. From Anderson, Fur Traders, we find the following excerpt:

...In the summer of 1843 James Bordeaux was acting as bourgeois at Fort Laramie and had only fifteen men in his employ. 3 That fall the competitive organization trading in opposition to Fort Laramie and Fort Pierre recruited an unusually large number of employees for the winter season-twenty traders and forty voyagers, or engages, along with seventy head of horses, mules, and oxen. Under the active direction of Joseph Bissonette and John Richard, Sr. the "intend scattering in every direction" in search of trade. 4
The technique of trading throughout the countryside, which Bissonette and Richard carried out in 1843, had been an integral part of the operation in Sioux country for at least two decades. In late fall or early winter a number of trading parties were sent out to locate at or near the Sioux winter camps. These crews either constructed wintering houses (or occupied those remaining from the previous years) or took up residence in the lodge of a prominent warrior in the Sioux village where trade was being sought.
4. Robinson, "Fort Pierre Journal," p. 197..17 Joseph's occupation: Trader at Fort Benard Area, USA, in 1845.11 He is a work associate of an unknown person at Fort Bernard (1845 - 1846), Lingle (present-day), Goshen Co., Wyoming, USA, after 1845. 1845 The American Fur Company found Richard less cooperative. Occupying the half-finished log fort, he carried on a brisk winter trade much to the annoyance of Picotte. The Fort Pierre manager declared that Richard and the other Taos peddlers obtained many of the good robes by trading corn for them and recommended that five hundred bushels be sent to Fort John. Richard's partners in the enterprise were his brother Peter, Joseph Bissonette, a Mr. Branham of Kentucky, and one of the Bordeaux. On June 11, 1846, Edwin Bryant met some of Richard's partners near Grand Island, Nebraska, navigating two mackinaw boats loaded with buffalo robes, bound for the nearest port on the Missouri.
In the spring of 1846, the Indian trade having been completed, Richard and his partners concentrated on the emigrant trade. Here, too, they competed successfully with Fort John using another technique. They simply undersold the powerful rival, at times 30-40%.[Richard charged ten cents less a pound for flour and three and one half cents less a pound of bacon.]

In late June, 1846 the main party of emigrants swept by Fort Bernard and Fort John, and on July 10, 1846 Richard left his post to make his annual pilgrimage to New Mexico for liquor. Several days before, he met the Crosby-Brown party of Mississippi Mormons who planned to winter on the east side of the mountains. They had come west on the Oregon Trail as far as Ft. Benard without knowing they were ahead of Brigham Young and the main body of saints. Richard recommended Pueblo and became their guide, proving a faithful and able pilot according to Brown.
On Aug. 20, 1846 Parkman found Richard in Pueblo quartered in the trapper's stockade. Prevented from reaching Taos because of the Mexican War, Richard stayed in Pueblo to await the cessation of hostilities. During his absence, Fort Bernard burned to the ground. The reasons for its destruction are not known, but Richard must have suspected the American Fur Company.
During the next six years, [1846-1852] Richard continued to trade on a small scale at various sites along the North Platte and the Larimie. By June 1847, opposition to Richard's Fort Benard had been effectively disposed of.
In 1848, Joseph Robidoux supplied the backing for his trade in buffalo robes, and as in the past, Richard obtained corn from Kansas to supplement regular trade items. In the Spring of 1848, the new Indian Agent for the Upper Platte and Arkansas, confiscated his some kegs of liqueur and dumped it into the Platte. In 1850 he apparently had a trading post at Ash Point about 20 miles below Fort Larimie, but sold his interest to Seth Ward and William Guerrier early in 1851..11 He resided at Fort Laramie Region, USA, after 1845.11 Joseph's occupation: Interpreter at Fort Laramie (1849 - 1890), Goshen Co., Wyoming, USA, in 1856.11 He resided at Deer Creek, Wyoming, USA, in 1857, Resided here with his family..11 He married Nellie Plenty Brothers circa 1858. Joseph was listed as the head of a family on the 1860 Census at Fort Laramie (1849 - 1890), Goshen Co., Nebraska Territory, USA.18 He employed Frank C. Ecoffey at Fort Laramie Region, USA, circa 1860. Frank worked as a clerk for Joe Bissonette, famed as an interpreter, at Fort Laramie from 1854 to 1861 and married Bissonette's daughter. [John Hunton Diary. (1956). v.2, pg 172].19 Joseph's occupation: Special Interpreter at Fort Laramie (1849 - 1890), Goshen Co., Wyoming, USA, in 1868. Early in 1868, the Peace Commission established to negotiate a treaty with the Sioux, and appointed Bissonette a special interpreter for the Brules. After Spotted Tail and his followers signed the treaty at Fort Laramie on April 29, 1868..11 He resided at Whetstone Agency (1869-1873), Nebraska, USA, in 1871, Early in 1868, the Peace Commission established to negotiate a treaty with the Sioux, and appointed Bissonette a special interpreter for the Brules. After Spotted Tail and his followers signed the treaty at Fort Laramie on April 29, 1868.
Bissonette also received a second appointment to act as an interpreter and accompany the Brules to their new home on Whetstone Creek, tributary of the Missouri. Bissonette continued to live with the Brules, following them to western Nebraska in 1871 when the agency changed location. He held a number of positions at the agency, including those of Sub-agent and assistant-farmer. Bissonette became one of the principle advisors to the leaders of the reservation Sioux.. Joseph traveled at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Dakota Territory, USA, in 1875. He resided at Wounded Knee Creek, Shannon Co., Dakota Territory, USA, circa 1877. Joseph died on 8, 1894 at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Porcupine, Shannon Co., South Dakota, USA.

Bissonette/Bissonnette Board Administrator

dragonflydee — 2006-06-17 22:21:56Z

Hello and Welcome!

My name is Denise and I am the administrator for the Bissonette and Bissonnette list. As you are probably aware, the Bissonnette name has taken on many written variations over the years. And, just because your name today is spelled a certain way, that does not mean that records will always be spelled correctly. I have even found my 3rd g-grandfather listed as Basinet, Bisnette, Bisnelle, Bensonet, etc.

The areas that I have focussed on are Vaudreuil/Soulanges, Quebec and Prescott County, Ontario. With this in mind, I have found over 1,000 Bissonnette ancestors, and I STILL cannot pin down my 3rd g-grandparents marriage date or location! BUT, I'm not giving up, so neither should you!

If you just want to subscribe to the Bissonnette mailing list, send an e-mail to BISSONNETTE-L-request@rootsweb.com
or (for the digest list) BISSONNETTE-D-request@rootsweb.com and put the word subscribe in the message body.

And, please be sure to read the message posts for the alternate BISSONNETTE posting board!

I have **Joseph Véronneau (Denis dit Véronneau) marrying *Odile Bissonnette July 25, 1874 in Les Cèdres, Soulanges, Québec.
*Odile married first to Damase Malboeuf Nov 15 1864 in Les Cèdres, Soulanges, Québec (Damase is the son of Joseph Malboeuf and Christine Legault)

**Joseph Véronneau is the son of Joseph Véronneau and Marie Pilon
*Odile is the daughter of Jean-Baptiste Bissonnette and Marie Levac (who married Feb 4 1834 in Les Cèdres, Soulanges, Québec)

Jean-Baptiste Bissonnette is the son of Louis Bissonnette and Rose Levac.
Marie Levac is the daughter of Noel Levac and Josephte Merleau

Mariages du comté de Soulanges 1752-1977

Children of Jean-Baptiste Bissonnette and Marie Levac that I have found are as follows:

*Jean-Baptiste Bissonnette m. JAN 31 1860 in Les Cèdres, to Josephte Séguin (b. Jan 26 1841 in Les Cèdres).
*Odile..(as above)
*Marie Bissonnette m. Maurille Malboeuf Feb 2 1864, Les Cèdres, Soulanges, Québec
*Narcisse Bissonnette m. 1877 to Odile Royal at St-Joseph, Les Cèdres, Soulanges, Québec
*Philomene Bissonnette m. Joseph Lalonde dit Lésperance Sept 12 1871 in Les Cèdres, Québec

Most of the Bissonnettes living in Soulanges migrated to Ontario (in the Plantagenet area). I do not have any children recorded for Joseph and Odile...I would appreciate having any information you may be able to supply for their descendants, please!

Hope this information helps you a bit!

Do you know anything about who Joseph's parents were? I am a Bissonnet descendant and am curious if we connect anywhere.

Jean Baptiste Bissonnet and Marie Anne Meunier

Looking for information on this couple's children. I have quite a bit of documented information on them but looking for some of their deaths or migrations. This couple married in 1744 Laprairie, Quebec and had many children.

I am looking for information on Christmas Bissonnet, possibly the son of Paschal Bissonnet and Marie-Angelique DeMars and was married to Susan. They had children Mary, Susan, Emanuel and Mary. They lived in Ottawa Co., OH in 1850 & 1860.

He was born about 1808 in Ohio. In 1860, he is noted as E. Bisnett, perhaps Emanuel?

Hi Trudy- GENEVIEVE LUCY SOSVILLE is my third cousin. Only information I have on her first husband, ARTHUR BISSONETTE is date of birth 1907 date of death 1966 taken from the tombstone. Do you have any info on him such as places of birth death? If you would like additional info on GENEVIEVE, I have her parents siblings names dates, etc. Also, have a picture of the BISSONETTE SOSVILLE tombstones if you would like me to e-mail to you.

The town she died in was Goodman, WI, not Goodwin.

I am looking for information on my great-grandmother, Mary Rosalie Trierweiler. Her last husband that I know of was a Bissonette. Sorry I don't have a first name.

1st husband was Nicholas Willems d. 1925
2nd husband was Scope
3rd husband was Bissonette

She died in Goodwin?, Wisconsin April 14, 1957.

Does anyone have a record of her stashed somewhere in their files. I haven't been able to find a Goodwin WI anywhere on a map. I would love to find out if she had any children besides the 4 boys she had with her first husband.
