Classification: Query
Surnames: Plouf, Ploof, Plouffe, Blouf, Belouf, Guilleboeuf, Quilleboeuf
I'm still searching for our ancetors BEFORE
Jean Plouf/Blouf father Antoine Blouf/plouf who was wed to DeMetz in Paris in the 1600's
I find nothing earlier for PLOUF or QUILLEBOEUF than their parents names.
I doubt Jean Plouf and wife Madeleine Quilleboeuf were the ends of both their lines.
I suspect the spelling was different before the arrived in Canada.
Its worth mentioning that the letter F and the letter S look (almost?) identical in old english (french?) writing.
That observation has led me to consider that Blouf may have looked like Blous by whoever copied the original records.
Then THAT led me to consider that BLOUS could be a variation of BLOIS
(somewhere researching BLOIS i found a variation BLOIIS.)
BLOIIS could easily be miscopied as BLOUS/F
admittedly this is a stretch
but no bigger stretch of the imagination than to believe that the simple answer is that our JEAN BLOUF/PLOUF was the last of his line
And at the same time he happened to marry
(and beget what begot ALL OF US)
Madeleine Quilleboeuf, who was the last of her line also.
(in which case we all owe some sort of high regard for PRIMOTs ... as the same fate that befell all our previous ancestors might easily have taken our JEAN as well had he not traveled to Montreal)
for the benefit of you cousins who don't know it...JEAN arrived in Montreal as an indentured servant to the PRIMOTs
in the year 1666
PRIMOTs, incidentally, were the adopted parents of CHARLES LEMOYNEs wife.
thats of some interest because
a. LEMOYNE traveled back to France several times,
and it stands to reason that he MAY HAVE HAND PICKED the indentured servant who was to live with his elderly inlaws for the three years of his indenture.
some sources show that BLOUF/PLOUF originated from ABBEVILLE
ABBEVILLE is the nearest town? on the map to LEMOYNES city of origination, which was DIEPPE.
b. CHARLES LEMOYNE IS A HERO IN MONTREAL HISTORY. He and his sons engaged in many battles/adventures in which JEAN and his sons might easily have been party to.
if i'm not mistaken, JEAN AND Madeleine lived awhile, perhaps a long while, in the CHARLES LEMOYNE residence.
