XXXIV, no. 134 (Apr 1995); p. 229; Santa Cruz [CA] Genealogical Society, Public Library; submitted by Jerome Lepre. Statement by Marguerite DUPUIS, widow of Claude BABIN, on 8 Mar 1767: she said she was born "of Martin [sic] DUPUIS (from France) and Perrinne THERIOT [sic], both died at Port Royal." [Could these have been her great-grandparents, parents of this Michel, her grandfather?]
