Benjamin RIOUX was born on 22 Feb 1776 in St-Louis, Kamouraska, Province of Quebec, as the eighth child of Vincent RIOUX Jr. and Marie-Julienne Drouin. He had twelve siblings, namely: Julienne, Vincent, Pierre, Child, Paul, Marie-Thecle, Jean-Baptiste, Elie, Joseph-Jonas, Théotiste, Modeste Edesse, and Marie-Genevieve. When he was 25, he married Marie-Brigitte DESCHAMPS on 08 Feb 1802 in Saint-Louis, Kamouraska, Quebec, Canada (Church: St-Louis; Kamouraska).
Benjamin RIOUX lived in Trois-Pistoles, Les Basques, Québec.
On 8 Feb 1802, in St-Louis de Kamouraska, Binjamin Rioux son of Vincent Rioux and the late Julienne Drouin married Marie Brigitte Dechamp minor daughter of Louis Dechamp and Marie Josephte Deschêne (the record here is a mistake, this can only be Marie Josephe Deguire dite Bourgelas, there is no other close couple of this name in the time and place). Witnesses include both fathers and many brothers and sisters of the couple. No signatures. [1]
He died on 17 Apr 1853 and was buried on 19 Apr 1853 in St-Louis, Kamouraska, Lower Canada.
