I think it is likely that they did marry in port hood.
From what I understand there was a couple of fires that destroyed a lot of vital records for Port Hood, Inverness county. I plan to contact some of the local churches to see if they can come up with a record as soon as time will allow.
I recently came in contact with one of Rufus Young's descendants living in canada. I would have to review notes to tell you exactly how they are related but she is i believe a g-g-granddaughter. If you are interested in them let me know and I will pass on info. If you want to fill in a few blanks on Archibalds descendants let me know also.
Do you know if the young family is related to the surname Campbell? This surname maybe on Isabella Cameron's side.

Hello Donna,

I think Archibald Young and Isabella Cameron get married between 1881 and 1886, at Port Hood.

Why? Isabella lived with her parents in 1881 at Port Hood: Hugh Cameron and Jennet. The first child of Archie and Bella, Frederick Hugh Young was born the July 1, 1887 at Port Hood (according to 1901 Census). They moved to Halifax between 1901 and 1911.

Tell me with you find something!

All the best,
Andre

Thanks, I had a feeling I was not reading the information. correctly with the word married placed after Benjamin's name.

Re: Lejeune/Young Nova Scotia canada

MarkAnthonyYoung — 2009-08-10 00:09:01Z

Doh!

In the original message
>> [Benjamin Young married] Catherine Misener,
should have read
== [Frederick LeJeune married] Catherine Misener,

I can see how that would confuse people...sorry!

Re: Lejeune/Young Nova Scotia canada

MarkAnthonyYoung — 2009-08-10 00:06:21Z

It's ahnentafel numbering -- person 1 is the person whose ancestry is being listed. People 2 and 3 are his parents (father and mother respectively). People 4 and 5 are person 2's parents, while 6 and 7 are person 3's parents. If a person is numbered N, then their father gets number 2N, and their mother gets number 2N+1. To get from the parents to the child, divide the father's number (one less than the mother's number) by 2.

So the parents of
38 - Claude BOUDROT ca 1663-1740
are
76 - Michel BOUDROT ca 1600-1688/1693 and
77 - Michelle AUCOIN ca 1621-1706,
and
132 - Mathurin THIBODEAU 1605 and
133 - Marie DEBEAU 1609
are the parents of
66 - Pierre THIBODEAU ca 1631-1704.

Re: Lejeune/Young Nova Scotia canada

margevt — 2009-08-09 23:37:00Z

Will you please clarify the numbering system of your generations. If #1 in generation 1 married #3 in generation 2 who is #2 in generation 2, and so forth ?

Robert Kim Stevens says this about Catherine Misener:
---BEGIN---
[Benjamin Young married] Catherine Misener, ca. 1832. She was b. 12 April 1812 at Lower East Chezzetcook, the daughter of Andreas Misener and Catherine Magdalena Shuffelburg, and d. before 1871 when her husband was enumerated as a widower.
----END----

I can show you the ancestry I have for Benjamin Young. Unfortunately there is a weak link near the beginning. My only sources for Frederick's parents (and grandparents) are secondary -- Msgr. Melanson (a dubious source) and Kim Stevens (better, but he only gives general sources -- nothing to indicate where this information in particular came from).

Anything pre-1714 is checked against Stephen White's Dictionnaire Genealogique des Familles Acadiennes.

Re: Lejeune/Young Nova Scotia canada

MarkAnthonyYoung — 2009-08-08 02:57:12Z

I have nothing about Benjamin's second marriage -- other than their names & that it happened between the 1891 and 1901 censuses. Sorry.

Re: Lejeune/Young Nova Scotia canada

jhatmax — 2009-08-07 23:58:08Z

First let me say.. You do great detective work! And Thank you I have proof. I also found that Rufus remarried in 1896 and named his parents as Fred and Catherine Young. This was in a Nova Scotia archive search.
Have you researched any further on this line?
Again Thanks so much.. this was a great discovery for me.
And I learned a little detective work in the process.

Re: Lejeune/Young Nova Scotia canada

acvachon1 — 2009-08-07 19:43:36Z

Hello Mark,

Long time no news... As you see, I'm still working on my book...

Do you find the mariage record for Benjamin and his second spouse Mathilda Gates? They supposed to get married around 1890, in Halifax?

All the best,
Andre

Re: Lejeune/Young Nova Scotia canada

MarkAnthonyYoung — 2009-08-07 19:17:06Z

Oh -- also, the marriage record of Arthur Joseph Young (widower, age 65) to Martha Jane Gallant (widow, also 65) in 1921 identifies hios parents as Frederick Young and Catherine Misener.

I don't know who Arthur's first wife was, tho.

Re: Lejeune/Young Nova Scotia canada

MarkAnthonyYoung — 2009-08-07 19:05:27Z

The death registration of Benjamin Young, 12 September 1929, identifies his parents as Frederick Young and Catherine Misener. The informant is his (2nd) wife.

Benjamin's DoB is given there as 21 March 1846, so he is of the right age to be in that same family. The four sons you mentioned (Archibald, Rufus, Arthur and Edward) appear with Frederick on the 1871 census. On the 1861 census, Frederick is married, with a wife aged 30-39 (should be 40-49, I think), and single people (presumably his children, mostly) aged 20-29 (M), 15-19 (1M, 1F), 10-14 (2M), and 5-9 (2M). Four of those match the four sons from the 1871. Benjamin would be the other male 10-14 (should be 15-20).

That Benjamin's parents were Frederick LeJeune and Catherine Misener is corroborated by his (1st) marriage (24 November 1870) at St. Mary's (RC) in Halifax. (He married my GG Aunt Elizabeth -- who was also, if all my notes are correct, his 1st cousin 1ce removed -- tho there was no dispensation recorded!)

Re: Lejeune/Young Nova Scotia canada

jhatmax — 2009-07-31 14:36:01Z

No I am sorry I do not know. It may be St. Joseph's or St. Patricks in Halifax. I plan on contacting the catholic churches in that area soon. I am fairly new at this research. I do know that my grandfather was baptised in St. Patrick's in Halifax. Archibald and Isabel lived in Port Hood Inverness county in Cape Breton early in there marriage. They may have been married there, but from what I understand,there where two major fires where these records where kept and many records are destroyed. So I may never find there marriage record. You did not answer my question as to how you are related to this family and or your interest in them?
Please answer my question. You can email me direct at jhatmax@yahoo.com...Donna Hebert

Re: Lejeune/Young Nova Scotia canada

Best regards,

Re: Lejeune/Young Nova Scotia canada

jhatmax — 2009-07-29 19:49:17Z

thanks for answering my post. I will tell you what I can on Archibald W. Young born around 1852. He is my great-great grandfather. He lived in the Halifax area. I found several census's with his family. I do know his father was Frederick Young he was born around 1800. Frederick had at least 4 son's there names where Archibald, Rufus, Arthur and Edward. Archibald, Rufus and Edward where all killed in the famous Halifax explosion. Archibalds wife's name was Isabel I believe her maiden name was Cameron. One of there children's name is Olga Joan Young this is my great grandmother. A lot of family trees do indicate Catherine Misener as the wife of frederick but I do not have proof of this yet and am looking for proof. If I can fill you in on anything else please feel free to ask. Please tell me how you are related to this family. I would love to make a connection with you. Thanks

Angelle LeJeune, b. Louisiana 1891/92

rbiesterfe — 2009-04-21 12:40:34Z

I am researching the family of Angelle LeJeune, b. in or near New Orleans,Louisiana circa 1891. Married Taliece Foster Garrison (b. 2-4-1892 in Magnolia, LA)circa 1919/20. Their children were Joycelyn Garrison (1921), Mary T. (1923), Gordon F. (6-14-1925), Una Bertile (Dec. 1927), and Marie E.Garrison(1929). Have found much history on Taliece's family but none on Angelle's. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have any clues where the name Lejeune or Jeune originated? Are their roots in the Liege area or did
they originate in northern France ?

I would be interested in any comments or suggestions about books that may have some clues. Thanks, Joan Shipley

Hello Gordon Lejeune,
I am sorry to say that I have not found an Adam Lejeune
or a Francois A. Lejeune in my Lejeune records. Nor have
I located anyone from Verviers, Belgium (Province de Luxembourg). All of the Lejeune names I have located resided in the villages from Bastogne south to Arlon. Of course it is possible that the families migrated. Let me know what you think. Best wishes, Joan Shipley

Do you have additional information on your Nicolas Lejeune?

It appears that this is a different family.

Jules and Leonie Lejeune and two of their children migrated to Toledo Ohio before WW1 ended. Their third son was born there in 1919.

Thanks for your interest.

Re: Lejeune Family

dever7211 — 2009-04-10 21:50:50Z

What part of Ohio? My ggg granfather, Stephen Le Jeune was married to Mary Magdalene Canavel in Paris, France. They came to America in 1854. Their first child was born on a boat as it docked at New Orleans, LA, on Nov. 26, 1854. The baby was Frank Stephen. Their other children were: Lena, Julia, and William. Julia was my gg grandmother. She was born in Tiffin, Seneca Co., Ohio on Feb 5, 1857. Stephen Le Jeune enlisted in the Ohio Vet Foot Volunteers. Co. A. 23rd Regiment, in 1863. He was discharged April 1865, by reasons of gunshot wound. While in the army, his wife Mary, died of paralysis, at the age of 27. Conflicting dates and burial info not sure which is correct. March 10, 1864 - buried in Lowell, OH (Adams Twsp) or May 10, 1862 Crockett Cemetery near Tiffin, OH. Stephen later married Eliza Pierce on March 15, 1866. After that, I just don't know where he went. Not sure if he stayed in OH or if he traveled into IN where his children seem to have gone. The youngest son William, is said to have been adopted out to a family by the name of Wrigley. Nothing else is known. Not sure if he was adopted out because Mary died while Stephen was gone with the Oh. Vet. Foot Volunteers or what! Not sure if you are looking for the same Le Jeunes in Oh or not but I am courious if Stephen had brothers who came to America too!

BigC1029 — 2009-03-20 07:09:57Z

I am sorry that I have been busy and unable to participate in discussion --- but according to Acadian genealogy experts your Edmee and Catherine Lejeune are not sisters to Pierre. Their mother has been proven from mtDNA analysis to be European not Miqmac. You should consult the work of Mr. Stephen A. White and join the 21st century on this question

Re: Proof of Pierre Lejeune I Micmac Marriage

BigC1029 — 2009-03-07 06:48:13Z

I am sorry; but Pierre LeJeune was married to a daughter of Germain Doucet --- and not to a Micmac squaw. You only wish to say you are Micmac or metis by saying he married Micmac. Get over it --- you have not proven what you say --- and you never will. If you wish to reply to this; give the documentary EVIDENCE FOR WHAT YOU SAY.

Re: Proof of Pierre Lejeune I Micmac Marriage

BigC1029 — 2009-03-05 04:21:53Z

Hello, BigC1029....

Thank you for your entry. I have always (over a number of years) thanked the authors of those who said that they could provide proof of the Micmac connection to Pierre Lejeune but no one ever provided any proof.

Someone recently said that the others of us are trying to spread this [false] theory but that simply is not true. There are (over the years) a number of us who would just like some valid information of whoever he married (or had children with).

Your statement that Pierre Lejeune was married to "a daughter of Germain Doucet" was something new to me. This is my first hearing of this and, if it is not too much to ask of you, could you please provide me with some more information about that connection. I would be very grateful to have it.

With thanks and kind regards,

Many thanks, Donna...the article was very interesting, especially the 17th century French, as I am presently studying French (with very slow progress!) as I am a US Treasury Advisor in Algeria.

I certainly would appreciate it if you could explain to me the Pierre Lejeune connection and the individuals mentioned in the article "Lejeune and the Hunters" as it was (for me) a little out of context and I haven't worked on this line in a number of years as I have been overseas since 2000.

Many thanks in advance for the information and, again, many thanks for the article. I am always happy to read something other than banking and finance!

Working on two branches of the Lejeune family.

Maria Elizabeth LeJeune came into the country with her two daughters Mary P. and Catherine Louisa in 1877. Maria and Mary (who marries Joseph Robbins) are buried in Prospect cemetery in Tarentum, Pa. Catherine married a John Lavine and died a few years after in Johnstown, Pa. (1892)

They were cousins to another line who came to the Carrick area with an extensive family and I have a deep chart on this branch. Nicholas is a common name in this branch.

I wonderful how he would feel if someone told him his ancestral line did not exist. The Pierre LeJeune I'm seeking more info on is the father of: Edmee abt.(1623), Pierre abt.(1625), and Chaterine abt.(1633).
