MAYO, MOYSE, MAYHEW, MAYEUS (MAILLOUX) FAMILY
Clues:
The problem in identifying the parentage of this immigrant
is that his father married twice, and both times to a woman
whose family was "dit Lajoie".His baptism has not yet
been located, while the vague information as to his age in
the Vermont records could make him either a youngest son of
the first marriage or an older son of the second marriage.
Joseph Mailloux, minor, (the late Bazile Mailloux and Marie-Catherine Sansoucy m. 2 February 1801, Chambly
Marie Maquet dit Lajoie, major, daughter of the late Claude Maquet dit Lajoie and of Marie Girard.
Joseph Mailloux, son of Bazile (sic) Mailloux and Marie Maquet, baptized 1 January 1803, Chambly, born this morning.
Buried 30 January 1804, Chambly, Marie Maquet, wife of Joseph Mailloux, farmer, age 24.
Joseph Mailloux, widower of Marie Maquet m. 30 September 1805, Chambly
Elizabeth Maceleau/Masselot dit Lajoie, minor, (Mathieu Maceleau dit Lajoie and of Gertrude Demers)
Henri Mailloux (Joseph Mailloux and Elizabeth Maceleau dt Lajoie) bap. 30 June 1806, Chambly.
Francois Mailloux, son of the same, bap. 28 December 1813, Chambly, born the previous day--buried 12 October 1815, Chambly.

Marie-Sophie Mailloux (Joseph Mailloux and Elizabeth Maceleau dit Lajoie) buried 16 August 1820, Chambly, age 1 year 3 months.
Nazaire Mailloux, son of the same, bap. 5 September 1820, Chambly.

Abraham Mailloux (Joseph Mailloux and Josette Masselot) m. 6 June 1848, Chambly

\np
It is very probable that not all of the baptisms of
children of Joseph Mailloux and Elizabeth Masselot dit
Lajoie have been located!
