Notes
Census
Mary Bush, age 1Census
According to this census, Mary was living with her sister and brother-in-law, Margaret (Bush) and Charles LaComb. In the same house was the family of Peter and Minnie (Pilote) LaComb -- Peter was a brother of Charles -- and seven of their eight children. Two weeks after this census was taken, Frederick Raboin married the eldest daughter of Peter and Minnie, Philomene LaComb. I don't know why Philomene is not listed with the rest of her family on this census -- I'm still looking for her listing. Then, less than a year later, Frederick's brother, Max, married another young lady from this household, our Mary Bush.Marriage
Witnesses were Frederick Raboin and Margaret Bush. Reverend J. P. Magee officiated. Record obtained by correspondence.Census (family)
Enumerated with this family were Mark (sic) Raboine, a saw mill hand, age 24; his wife, Mary, age 20 (born in Onondaga Co.); and children: Philip, age 3; Joseph, age 2; and Vigneau (sic), age 2 months. They lived in a frame house, valued at $250. The census also reports that Max was an alien, that he owned his land, and that neither he nor Mary could read or write.https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-11668-101392-76?cc=1918735&wc=M9SL-4WY:n1686421792
Census (family)
This seems to have been a visit, if indeed they were actually there at all. Max and Mary, along with his brother Frederick and his wife, are listed as residing with Max and Fred's parents, Frederick Rabouin and Domithilde Guilmette. The trouble is, none of their children are listed, and they were certainly living in Daggett, Michigan at the time. To add to the confusion, in the 1891 Canadian Census, these two families are again listed as living with Frederick, Sr. and Domithilde, along with all of their children, and their brothers and their wives and all of their children. It comes down to an absurd and impossible number of people living in this house, while at the same time it is well known that they were all living in various points in Canada or the United States. I get the feeling that Grandma Domithilde was asked to report about her family living there, and she proceeded to list all of her children and grandchildren, wherever they may have been living.Census (family)
Census states that Max and family had been living in Michigan for seven years. Daggett is part of Stephenson Township.Census (family)
Enumerated with this family were Mike Raboin, age 45, a farmer; his wife, Mary, age 39; and children: Philip, age 22; Joseph, age 20; Vina, age 19; Mary, age 15; Josephine, age 13; Maggie, age 11; Libbie, age 8; Adel, age 5; Mamey, age 1. There is also an additional child indicated, but this is somewhat problematic. The age 1/12 is recorded, but no name (other than the crossed-out given name of the head of the next family, which was moved to the next line). Much of the rest of the information for this individual is recorded by dittos or dashes, while every other person on the page has their information written out in full. Was there really a one-month-old child who was not listed in any other record, or was this entry simply a mistake? It also states that Mary had by this time borne 12 children, ten of whom were still living. My records show that three of her children had died by this point (Henry, Adelard, and Joseph Henry).http://seekingmichigan.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/singleitem/collection/p16317coll3/id/45090/rec/1
