More Information

Between 1841 and 1843, the Plymouth Company, England, chartered six pioneer ships for transportation of immigrants to New Zealand. These immigrants came from Cornwall and Devon. The Essex was the sixth to arrive in New Plymouth. On this journey, the Essex carried 116 passengers.

Edouard and Marie-Anne were married on 26 September, 1864, at the parish church in St-Georges-de-Windsor, Richmond, Québec. They went on to raise a family of 12 children. Edouard was the son of Edouard Roy & Geneviève Izoir-Provençal. Marie Anne was the daughter of Noël-Pierre Rouillard & Angëlique Gosselin.

Both Edouard & Marie Anne’s families can be traced back to some of the earliest pioneers to New France (now Quebec). One of their daughters, Marie Anna Roy, married Nathaniel Tardif in 1895. They made their home in Lewiston, Maine, where Nathaniel worked as a loomfixer in the cotton mill.

Edouard Roy & Marie Anne Reparade Rouillard are the children’s 3rd-great-grandparents.

Pierre Thibaudeau was born about 1630, in France. 

Here’s a story about him that appeared in the newspaper:

“The ancestor of this family in Acadia, Pierre Thibodeau, is believed to have been born in 1630 in Marans, a village near La Rochelle, France. He followed Emmanuel LeBorgne de Belle-Isle to Acadia as a young man during the middle of the 1650s. Shortly after his arrival he married a young Acadian girl, Jeanne Theriault, who gave birth to 17 children.
“Pierre Thibodeau settled approximately 17 kilometres from the mouth of the Port-Royal river in a lovely spot called Pree-Ronde. There he built his house, his farm and his flour and grist mill. Pierre was undoubtedly prosperous but he had larger ambitions. On June 20, 1695, Governor de Frontenac granted him on the Kennebec river (Maine), a seigniory two leagues deep and a league on each bank of the Kennebec river along with the islands.
“At the age of 67, the enterprising Pierre Thibodeau decided to found a new community on the northern part of Baie Francaise (Fundy) called Chipoudie, now Hopewell Cape. He associated his sons and a few neighbors for this new foundation and had the necessary machinery for a flour and grist mill brought over from Boston.
“In addition to his occupations as a farmer and a miller, Pierre Thibodeau was also a merchant. He traded furs with the Indians. Pierre Thibodeau died at Pree-Ronde and was buried at Port-Royal on December 27, 1704. His children settled at Port-Royal, Grand-Pre and Chipoudie.”
From: Telegraph-Journal, Wednesday, August 10, 1994; p. A8

Pierre Thibaudeau is the children’s 9th-great-grandfather.

Osman Monroe Titus was born in 1835. He ran a saw & grist mill outside Dunkin, Potton Township, Québec, Canada in the late 1800s.

A story in “Yesterdays in Brome County” tells a bit about him.

LOGGING ON THE RUITER BROOK Logging has been important to the people of this area through the years both during the late 1850’s and early 1900’s. An old map of 1864 shows three saw mills along this Brook which has its farthest north source in Fullerton Pond. We like to think of the smaller mills first that were run by water power. At the turn of the century and earlier Osmond Titus mill stood about a half mile above Dunkin where there is a natural fall of about twenty feet. It was on the west side of the Brook built overhanging the brook with a water wheel underneath. The road passed close to the front so the mill yard was across the road and logs had to be rolled across the road to the mill. He is said to have also made shingles at his mill. From: Yesterdays of Brome County, edited and compiled by Marion L. Phelps, Museum Curator & Leon J. Darrah, Vice-President, Brome County Historical Society, Knowlton, Quebec, Canada, 1977, p. 83.

His obituary was published in the Sherbrooke Daily Record on 26 Sep 1912 in Dunkin, Potton Township, Québec, Canada. 310

loss his widow and eight children, namely Frank and William
Titus, Mrs. Edson Leavitt, of North Troy; Herman Titus, of
Dunkin; Mrs. Hubert Bullock, of Glen Sutton; Mrs. Wm.
