His father was also named Josiah and married Jeanne Mazave or Marave.Josiah II married Margureite Provest inSt. Phillippe de Laprairie, Canada.Her family can be traced to Raphael Provest and Ursule Deneau.There is a Martin Provest born in 1611 in St. Phillippe who married Marie Olivier Silvestre Manitouabewich.We would be interested in knowing if Martin is an ancestor of Raphael.
