About Our Family Research


I am the sixth great-granddaughter of Jacques de Noyon and Abigail Stebbins, from the line of their eldest son, Jacques-Rene, born on December 26, 1704. Jacques-Rene underwent a name change to “Aaron Denio” as a result of living with his grandparents, John Stebbins, Jr. and Dorothy Alexander in Deerfield, MA.

Abigail - buried in Boucherville on November 5, 1740. Jacques - buried at Boucherville on May 12, 1745.

In addition:

I am researching information related to the following surnames/families:

Louise LaCroix who was born in Canada, and probably died in Montana. She married a man with the surname of "Parsons". One of her sons was named Frank Edmond Parsons. He was born in 1886, and married my paternal Grandmother, Mildred Gunther.

John Gunther who married Emma Weichtre. Both were from Germany. They had a son named Joseph Charles Gunther, also born in Germany in 1880. Emma and her children emigrated from Germany when Joseph Charles was a child. Emma's husband, John, never came to America to be with his family. He died in Germany. Joseph Gunther was Mildred Gunther's father.

Louisa Mueller who married a man with the surname of "Floto". They had a daughter named Linda Louise Floto, who was born in 1880. Linda Louise Floto married Joseph Gunther and gave birth to my paternal Grandmother, Mildred Gunther.

REA SIDE

C.M. Carey from North Carolina who married Betsy Fidelia from Illinois. This family line created the Rea side, and not much is known regarding the lineage.

William Gardell Rea was the father of my mother who was born in 1923

Any information is welcome, and I would be glad to share what I have has well. Please try using the java interactive family tree to see what I have so far. As I get more, I will be updating the family tree.
