Marriage

• Madeleine Bourassa married William McGulpin in August of 1821. At the time of their marriage, they ACKNOWLEDGE their 3 Living Children (Daughters) who are also listed within the record, apparently all BORN PRIOR to their Actual Marriage. Madeleines' brother Eloy and what appears to be some of her uncles or siblings are also present. (further research to determine which is needed)

August 11, 1821, William McGulpin, son of age of Patrick McGulpin, and Madeleine Bourassa, daughter of age of Daniel Bourassa and of Marguerite Bertrand, both residents of this parish, having shown us a certificate from a justice of the peace, Samuel Abbot,46 by which it appears that they contracted marriage on August 21, 1815, and asked us to validate their marriage before the church. Accordingly, on the same day and in the year aforesaid, we received their mutual marriage consent and gave them the nuptial Benediction in accordance with the ceremonies of the Roman Church, in the presence of Eloy Bourassa, Alexandre Bourassa, J. B. Bourassa, and Mathew McGulpin, who signed with us. And the said parties acknowledged as their legitimate children: Marguerite, born July 27, 1816; Pelagic, born November 4, 1818; and Marie, born on April 1, 1821 (the two former having been baptized by Monsieur Joseph Crevier, missionary priest, September 9, 1818). In testimony whereof, the following have signed:

[Note 46: 46 Samuel Abbott was in Mackinac before 1810, when he was made collector of customs. He was later magistrate, notary public, and president of the village. For many years he was Mackinac agent of the American Fur Company. He died sometime before 1859.--Ed.]

Gabriel Richard, parish priest of Ste Anne du Detroit.
