Re: Bessette/from Iberville canada /CT /RI

Hi, Linda. I hope this helps:

Moise Besset, of Honore Besset & Eudoxie Monty, m. Virginie Forand, of Charles Forand & Sophie Jarry, on 2 Feb 1874 @ Iberville, QC (src - Loiselle's)

Honore Besset, of Louis Clement Besset & Louise Therrien, m. Eudoxie Monty, of Joseph Monty & Charlotte Tetreau, on 18 Feb 1840 @ St. Mathias, QC (src - Loiselle's) 13 known ch.

Louis Clement Besset, of Louis C. Besset & Louise Choquet, m. Marie Louise Therrien, of Jean Baptiste Therrien & Rosalie Moreau, on 1 Mar 1813 @ St. Luc, QC (src - Loiselle's) 16 known ch.

Louis Clement Besset, of Clement Besset & Charlotte Lamoureux, m. Marie Louise Choquet, of Julien Choquet & Louise Cadieux, on 28 Jan 1788 @ St. Mathias, QC (src - parish register) 13 known ch.

Clement Besset, of Francois Besset & Marie Claude Dubois, m. Marie Charlotte Lamoureux, of Pierre Lamoureux & Angelique Robert, on 18 June 1753 @ Chambly, QC (src - parish register) 17 known ch.

Francois Besset, of Jean Besset & Anne Seigneur, m. Marie Claude Dubois, of Antoine Dubois & Marthe Moral, on 9 Feb 1716 @ Chambly, QC (src - parish register) 10 known ch.

Note: The number of children listed is from family group sheets I have compiled from various sources.

This information shows that the lineage from Moise goes back to Jean & Anne's son Francois, not to their son Jean Baptiste, which is the line Brother Andre descends from.

If I can help further, please email me - Jeri
