Gina
Antoine had 3 wives:
Angelica campeau M. 1759
Mary/Marie M. 1768
You see her referred to both as Marie (French) and Mary (English). Either is probably not her real name, but an adopted name. I have never seen anything indicating her indian name. The indians of this area had had contact with white traders and trappers for well over 100 years by this time.
Charlotte Barth M 1784
The children you list are by the 2 nd wife. I have the same names but a different sequence.
Joseph 1769
Antone 1771
Angelique 1773
Pierre 1775
Therese Descomps 1777
Cecile Descomps 1780
Marie Descomps 1782
Charlotte 1783
Only these children have the name "dit Badichon".
I don't know why Therese, Cecile and Marie include the name "Descomps" and the others don't.
Charlotte died late December 1783 and was buried 2 days later. Marie/ Mary died soon after probably due to weakness and complications from childbirth.
My ancestor Pierre died at the Battle of Raison River (Monroe, Michigan) in 1813. I don't know as part of the malitia or the indian raid on French Town. There several websites that give a good narative on the battle.
Antoine and Marie/Mary had a "country wedding". I have seen no record that they were ever formally married by a priest.
I have seen records of the Baptism of several of the children and an entry indicating that Marie/Mary was baptized before she died. This has bearing on the legitamacy of the children and their status with the Catholic church.
Hope this info is helpful.
