1. Pierre Lareau/Peter Larro was born in 1837 probably in St. Valentin, St. Jean, Qc. Immigrated to US in ~1848. Eventually settled in Kankakee Co., Illinois. Married Lucy Rainville in 1860 in Kankakee. Paul Lareau's gentree shows a Pierre Lareau born 24 May 1837, son of Jean Baptiste (b 1806) and Victoire St-Amand. Can anyone confirm this birth?
2. Pierre/Peter had a younger brother John. Paul Lareau's gentree also shows a Jean born in this family in 1840 in St. Valentin. It indicates Jean died 9 April 1842. Can anyone confirm this death?
3. Peter's daughter Hattie married Henry McDowell in 1882 in Illinois. Their daughter Lucy McDowell married Horace Shepley in 1904. They had children: Evelyn, Ralph, Francis, Louise. I am looking for any ancestors of these people.
4. Hattie Larro McDowell's 2nd husband was Thomas Waltham. Their son was Stanley Waltham born in Arkansas. Anyone know them?
5.Peter's daughter Libbie Larro married William Henry Conklin in 1886 in IL. They had a daughter Laura in 1887. Anyone know this Conklin family.

Except for the Larro's, all these families were last heard from in in the 1900 US Census in Chicago.
