Abraham (Abram, Amable) TACY (TESSIER)

  General Notes:

a farmer in Chesterfield in 1850, a shoemaker in Saranac 1860. His older sons had farms by his in 1860.

Substantial help, including all information info on Tessier and Luck families in Canada, from Philip Cochran, pacochran29@hotmail.com He is descended from one of Rosilla Luck's brothers.

Place of origin is from his marriage record.

Saranac is a few miles north of Chesterfield.

Marriage ge record of Abraham (Amable) and Rose states that Amable was from teh Parish of Ste Anne de la Mascouche - a town. Both his parents were of that parish. Probably Abraham grew up there. I think the certificate, which is scawled in French, says that he was living in Montreal and a member of the parish of Notre Dame when he married.

Neither Abraham Tessier dit Lavigne, nor his probalby sister, Marguerite, who signed Adolphe's baptismal recod, were able to sign their names.

The first two children were baptized in Montreal at Notre Dame; the rest were born in New York State.
