Notes

Note N959According to his tombstone in Keeseville, NY, Francis (also known as Francois Labonte) was in Company I of the 153rd NY Vol

Francis LaBounty is first found in the U.S. in the 1860 census (Ausable, Clinton, New York; Roll: M653_736; Page: 1119; Image: 559) in Ausable, NY. Francis is a farmer, age 30 and born in Canada. Sophia is 33, born in Canada. Their children are all born in Canada: Delphine age 6, Mary age 5, Frank age 3, and Alex age 1. Their daughter Sophia, age 8, is living with a family next door. Since Alex is only 1 but was born in Canada, this suggests that the family emmigrated to the U.S. from Canada very recently.

In the 1870 census (Ausable, Clinton, New York; Roll: M593_918; Page: 38; Image: 77) the family is still living in Ausable. Francis, age 40, is a laborer with 0 in real estate and 0 in personal estate. Sophia is 43. Also in the household is Sophia age 18, Dolly age 16, Mary age 14, Francis age 13, Alexander age 11, Julia age 7, Cluffie age 5, Adolphus age 2, and Julia A. age 2/12. Alexander and the younger children were all born in NY.

In the 1880 census (Ausable, Clinton, New York; Roll: T9_819; Family History Film: 1254819; Page: 45.2000; Enumeration District: 4; Image: 0202) Francis is 50 and a laborer born in Canada. Sophia is 53 and a housekeeper born in Canada. Also in the household are their children Alexander age 21, Clofie age 15, Adolphus age 12, and Juliana age 10.
