Individual Details
Joseph LANDRY
(5 Sep 1816 - 27 Dec 1897)
My grandparents came from Sorel, Province of Quebec (believed to be the departure, as the family lived in Yamachiche). When they came from Canada, there were seven families. They had three sailboats: two for the families, and the third was machinery for a mill. When they came, my father was six years old. It took them three months to come from Sorel, Canada, to Little Chute, Wisconsin, because when the wind blew against them, sometimes they had to anchor for days.
It is then stated that "descendants of the St-Louis families are quite certain that some of the other families in this group were Manseaus, Champeaus, and Landrys. They were all residents of Yamachiche, Canada, and are all known to have resided in Little Chute, Wisconsin."
My research since then shows that these families were actually residing in Baie-du-Febvre and St-François-du-Lac just before their emigration. I don't know if this would have an impact on their point of embarkation. In any case, it makes sense that these families came together. They lived in close proximity in both Québec and Wisconsin, and the families intermarried in both places as well. Also, St. John`s Church in Little Chute was one of the three earliest Catholic parishes in Brown County. There is some evidence that Joseph Felix Champeau emigrated earlier than the rest of his family. Also, Honoré Landry probably did not make the trip before 1850, as he and his first wife had five children born at St-François-du-Lac throughout the 1850s, and she died there in late September of 1849. Still, whatever family members were part of the above story, it is a wonderful account. We don't tend to think of immigration from Canada coming by sailing ship!
