Individual Details

-- 1880 U.S. Federal Census: Belle Prairie, Morrison, Minnesota (enum. dist. 80, p. 15, lines 11-18), dated 11 June 1980. Philomène was age 41.
-- 1881 Canadian Census: Saint-Etienne, div. 1, Saint-Maurice Co., Québec (Dist. 84, p. 13) shows this family living with the family of Antoine Marineau and Christine Lapolice. Were they just visiting? The names of the children are mostly there, but ages are a bit jumbled.
-- 1900 U.S. Federal Census: Belle Prairie, Morrison, Minnesota (e.d. 94, p. 14A, lines 25-27, dated 16 Jun 1900). Surname is written as "Cota". Wife's name was Adelaide. Confusing -- it says they were married for forty years, but it also says that Adelaide had borne only one child. Also, her birth month and year are different from those of Philomene. Thus, I conclude that Philomene and Adelaide are not the same person. Philomene must have died shortly after the 1881 Canadian Census, in which she was recorded, and Charles remarried in time for Henry to be born to the second wife in May of 1883. Perhaps Charles was the reporter, and in his imperfect English, he stated that he had been married for forty years, and the enumerator took that to refer to his present wife as well.
