Re: Bozzle Alair, c.1810-1881, Ontario

The given name of Basile is fairly common
in the Allaire family.The first Basile was
a son of Joseph Allaire, a grandson of the
immigrant older brother Jean Allaire.Joseph
Allaire moved to Montreal in the early 18th
century and had 9 children.The seventh
child was named Basile.This Basile married
Francoise Charles-Clement on 2-18-1760.
They named their first born son Basile also.
He was married to Marie Ann Trudeau on
6-21-1788 at Mascouche.They had two children,
Suzanne and Etienne.Suzanne
married Jean Baptiste Paquet-Lavallee on
10-15-1804 at Mascouche.Etienne married
Rosalie Dufresne at Notre Dame in Montreal
on 2-15-1819.Etienne and Rosalie had a
son who was also named Basile.He was my
great-great grandfather, and he immigrated
to the United States sometime around 1850.
Working backwards from a census record of
1860, I estimate he was born in 1830.He
became a United States citizen in 1860 and
died in Wisconsin sometime around 1869.
Basile (Bozzle) was a family name in our
Allaire line, but it was a fairly common
given name in that era, so your ancestor
could descend from another Allaire line
also.
