DUBA, DUBY, DUBIE (DUBE) FAMILY

Background:

This is a very large Quebec family, originating in the area of Kamouraska.Absolute identification of the parentage has not yet been made, but the following is most likely based on clues in U.S. documents:

Louis Dube (Augustin Dube and Marie-Anne Soucy) m. 17 November 1763, St-Louis-de-Kamouraska

Marie-Jeanne Dionne (Jean-Baptiste Dionne and Marie-Madeleine Michaud)

NOTE: One son of this couple, Stanislas Dube, m. 1819, Louiseville, Josephte St-Pierre, and remained in that parish.

Louis Dube, b. 12 Nov. 1765 according to Abbe Michaud's genealogy of the families of Riviere-Ouelle (Louis Dube and Marie-Louise-Jeanne Dionne)

m. 29 January 1787, St-Louis-de-Kamouraska

Modeste Michaud (Joseph Michaud and Barbe Vaillancourt).

Modeste Michaud died before 1830. Marriage records of her children at Riviere-du-Loup (Louiseville) and Lacadie call her also Celeste/Edesse/Marie-Modeste. This couple had the following children:

Hilaire Dube, b. 25 January 1788, Riviere-Ouelle

Louis-Marie Dube, b. 8 January 1789, Riviere-Ouelle

Marie-Charlotte/Edesse Dube, b. 13 September 1791, Riviere-Ouelle. m. 1811, Riviere-du-Loup (Louiseville), Pierre Ayotte.

Joseph-Marie Dube, b. 29 April 1793, Riviere-Ouelle. m. as Joseph Dube, 1821, Riviere-du-Loup (Louiseville), Marguerite Dancosse.

Marie-Angelique Dube, b. 17 July 1794, Riviere-Ouelle. m. 1814, Riviere-du-Loup (Louiseville), Rene Lessard.

Euphrosine Dube, b. 18 December 1795, Riviere-Ouelle. m. 1818, Riviere-du-Loup (Louiseville), Etienne Page.

Jean-Roch Dube. b. 16 August 1797, Riviere-Ouelle

Antoine Dube, b. 21 March 1799, Riviere-Ouelle (according to Abbe Michaud, the last child of the family born in that parish).

Ambroise Dube. m. (1) 27 July 1830, Lacadie, Isabelle Fortin (Francois and Isabelle Fortin) in presence of Jean-Baptiste Dube, uncle of the groom, and Jean-Baptiste Dube, his cousin; m. (2) 22 February 1841, St-Valentin, Sophie Ste-Marie (Pierre Ste-Marie and Catherine Adam)

Jean-Baptiste Dube, son of Louis Dube and Marie-Jeanne Dionne, b. 8 February 1767, Riviere-Ouelle, according to the Abbe Michaud's genealogy. m. (1) Obeline/Euphrosine Fortin.

A 12 January 1807 marriage at Lacadie listed Jean-Baptiste Dube as brother-in-law of Francois Fortin, indicating that Euphrosine Fortin was a daughter of Francois Fortin and Marie Louise Dandurant of Cap-St-Ignace. This led to the location of Jean-Baptiste Dube's first marriage:

Jean-Bte Dube (Louis Dube and M-Jeanne Dionne, Kamouraska) m. 1 February 1791, Cap-St-Ignace Euphrosine Fortin (Francois Fortin and Marie-Louise Dandurant dit Marcheterre)

Euphrosine Fortin was buried 3 February 1809, Lacadie, age 40 years; m. (2) 29 November 1809, Lacadie, Marie-Genevieve Fortin (Louis Fortin and Marie-Genevieve Gamache). They were granted a dispensation for the second degree of affinity (which means she was a cousin of his first wife) and dispensation from all three banns. Witnesses were Francois Fortin, brother-in-law; Michel Dandurand, allied uncle of the groom; Abraham Fortin, brother, and Marie Elizabelle Gamache, mother of the bride. He was buried 10 November 1836, Lacadie, age 74 years. He had the following children:

Jean-Baptiste Dube, b. c. 1793. m. 24 April 1815, Lacadie, Genevieve Brodeur (Joseph Brodeur and Francoise Dalpe). Sexton at the Lacadie church--children baptized and married there.

-------------------------------------------------------------

3. Benjamin Duba/Dube, b. c. 1831, Canada. Blacksmith. Son of Remi Dube and Scholastique [_repertoire_] Michaud, m. 23 February 1857, St. Peter's, Plattsburgh, N.Y., Caroline Laforce, b. c. 1829, Canada, dau. of Guillaume Laforce and Celeste Rancourt/Renaud. Microfilms of the St. Peter's church register say he is resident of Isle la Motte, major son of Remi Dube and Latique Michaud, residents of Plattsburgh.The wife is major dau. of Guillaume Pepin dit Laforce and Celeste Renaud dit Deslauriers. Witnesses are Guillaume Pepin dit Laforce, father of the bride, and Viat Dufour. 1860, 1870, 1880 census, Grand Isle, Vt. Two adopted children.

Extensive ransacking of the Quebec records has failed to turn up a Remi Dube married to a Scholastique Michaud. We find:

(1) Louis Dube, above, married in 1787 to Marie-Modeste/ Celeste/Edesse Michaud as discussed in the introduction to this family.

(2) Romain Dube (Joseph and Madeleine Tremblay) m. to Marie-Soulanges Michaud probably around 1816 and leaving a large family in the region of St-Denis near Riviere-Ouelle.Romain had a brother Joseph-Remi Dube who married in 1827 Marie-Zoe Saindon.

(3) Alexandre Dube (Alex and Marie Leclerc) who married 22 November 1784 at Ste-Anne-de- la-Pocatiere, Charlotte Michaud (Benjamin Michaud and Marie Chasse)

(4) Charles Dube (Augustin Dube and Marie-Anne Soucy) who married 16 July 1764 at St-Louis-de- Kamouraska to Marie Michaud (Pierre Michaud and Marie-Anne Dupere)

(5) Edouard Dube (Pascal Dube and Theotiste Boucher) who married 3 February 1823 to Florence Michaud and resided at St-Denis near Riviere-Ouelle.

(6) Gabriel Dube (Gabriel and Marguerite Blanchet) m. (1) 18 January 1820 at St-Pascal-de-Kamouraska to Marie-Scholastique Michaud (Michel Michaud and Marie-Francoise Lagace-Meunier). He remarried in 1836 at St-Pascal.

(7) Prosper Dube. m. 7 January 1829, Riviere-Ouelle, to Henriette Michaud.

None of these marriages is obvious as providing the proper set of parents for Benjamin Dube. It will be necessary to find a clue to his place of birth and search the baptismal registers.

3.1 Alphonsine Girard/Garard/Jarard (dau. of Louis Girard and Adeline Laforse), b. c. 1852, N.Y. Adopted as Alphonsine Duba. m. 27 December 1885, South Hero, Vt., Charles Dubuque, son of Joseph and Aurelia (Cowthen/Cootware/Courtois) Dubuque.
