Research Notes

• Jean Baptiste's parents are not clear; possible son of Nicolas Ducharme dit Charon and Charlotte Abinoche or Saulteaux (per Morin); Antoine Ducharme and Charlotte an indigenous woman (per his scrip affidavit); or Antoine Ducharme and Caroline Unknown (per Sprague & Frye).
• Possible death record indexed at Manitoba Vital Statistics: Jean Baptitste Ducharme, age 76, d. 14 Nov 1894, St. Laurent, Reg no. 1894-002991; this matches the unsourced death information provided on Jean Baptiste's FamilySearch profile, however without viewing the actual record it is difficult to ascertain that this is the same person.
