Biography

Jean Baptiste Harrell ... He passed away in 1879.

Son of Antoine Arel and [Marie Angelique CANTARA]

Premier mariage 05-juin-1820 Yamaska (St-Michel)

avec Marguerite LAPIERRE

Deuxième mariage 19-sept.-1843 Cantons-de-l'Est (Bromont)

avec Marie DUBOIS (veuve de Ignace LARIVIERE)

Marie Dubois, widow of Ignace Larivière, remarried with Jean Baptiste Harel, widower of Marguerite Lapierre, on 19 September 1843 in the Eastern Townships, the record found in Bromont (St-François-Xaiver-de-West-Shefford). Both spouses are listed as residents of Compton.^[1]

There are possibly 2 children born of this marriage, Rosalie^[2] and Marguerite^[3], who both marry. Conflicting data exists, as Marie Dubois mother of these two is listed present in 1874 at Marguerite's marriage. In 1866 at Rosalie's marriage, she is listed as residing in Coaticook's mission. BUT, at Marcel Larivière's mariage in 1861, Marie Dubois is listed deceased. Thus the 2 girls Rosalie and Marguerite may be from a different couple altogether, the name Marie Dubois being widespread. Or else there was a clerical error on Marcel's marriage.
