This link shows Paul having married Claire Brun and Anne Chiasson, with list of children from each and their respective spouses. https://www.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.76171/22

Unfortunately not many dates are included but I presume the info is from parish records (the publication is in celebration of the parish's centennial). Interesting preamble of why Paul moved his family to the Mont Carmel Parish from Malpeque. https://www.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.76171/5

Thank you so much for sharing this information! It is very helpful. That Monograph Collection from Canadiana has quite a few gems.

Arsenault-2415 and Arseneau-499 appear to represent the same person because: Same name. Professional genealogist Marcel Landry has him married to both Anne Chiasson and Claire Brun. Same parents. Birth date and location are different (Landry doesn't specify either and Reader uses 1767). Both profiles agree he died in St. Edward Island. Neither profile has adequate sources for the facts.
