Descendants of ISADORE HENRI Beauchamp

Generation No. 3

5. HENRI PASCAL³ BEAUCHAMP (JOSEPH ISADORE², ISADORE HENRI¹)⁶ was born 1809 in Snow Road, Perth, Ontatio, Canada ⁷, and died 22 February 1888 in Walshville, Twp., Walsh County ND/Buried St John Baptist Cemetery, Ardock, ND ⁸. He married ELIZABETH MARGUERITE FERGUSON⁹ 1848 in Snow Road, Frontenac County⁹, daughter of FERGUSON.

Notes for HENRI PASCAL BEAUCHAMP:
Pascal (Beauchamp) Bushaw Sr. was born in 1809 at Snow Road, Perth, Ontario, Canada, where his family had emigrated from the Alsace - Lorraine of France.
About this same time the Ferguson family emigrated to Renfrow, Ontario from their native Scotland.
Eliza was born in 1830 at Renfrow, Ontario. When she was very young, she married Pascal at Snow Road.

Marriage Notes for HENRI BEAUCHAMP and ELIZABETH FERGUSON:
The couple made their home at Snow Road. Here Pascal cut timber in the woodlands and also mined for potash. Thirteen children were born to them while living at Snow Road. In 1879 when Pascal was 70 years old and Eliza was 49, the couple along with most of their children left Ontario and emigrated to Dakota Territory.
The family traveled down the Riedeau Canal of Ontario, then took the train to Chicago and then boarded the westward bound Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad. At Moorhead, MN they boarded a steamboat heading north on the Red River. They disembarked near the Turtle River Township in the Northeast quadrant of Grand Forks County. Here the Bushaw family purchased land near Manvel (25 acres of north side of NW1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 11) and more land near Oslo in Walshville Township of Walsh County.
Again Pascal cleared timber in the woodlands near the Red River and prepared the fertile soil of the plains for his homestead. Many of his married children and their families homesteaded nearby.
In December of 1887 Pascal Bushaw was attacked by a bull at his family homestead. The Ottawa Press reported the incident to Perth residents in an article date Jan. 6, 1888 as follows:
PERTH- - Relatives here received word that Pascal (Beauchamp) Bushamp, formerly of Snow Road suffered severe internal injuries received when attacked by a bull on his new homestead in the Red River Valley of the Dakota Territory. Beauchamp who has changed his name somewhat to Bushamp first layered the wound with strips of bacon which were hung to cure, and then secured cloth to fashion a poultice to encourage festering to remove any impurities the bull may have penetrated. After a few weeks the area became swollen and hot about "enough to brew and lumberman's pot of coffee and fry some eggs." After a few more days passage Bushamp having not gained sufficient relief, wielded a large hunting knife to a whetting stone, removed the poultice which did not work, and sliced the thin-stretched membrane of flesh, gouging out the gangrene filled socket, wishing it with poteen. Still in a painful state, Bushamp packed the wound with part of his powder magazine supply of saltpeter hoping this would be salubrious. However, Bushamp at this time is not ready to meet up again with the bull and is house bound.---Henry Rivette
Eliza, who was 21 years younger than Pascal, continued to live at the homestead for a number of years. She spent her last years living with her daughter Clara. She died at the age of 79.
Both Pascal and Eliza are buried in the Catholic Cemetery at Ardoch, near their Walshville Township homestead on the Red River
