Dusome Families
by Jane Dusome
I found a document " Red River Marriages" described
as a list of men who were
married by the Catholic Missionaries after
the establishment of the Red River
Mission 1818-1831. In 1823 Francois Juissaume
(this is one of the alternate
spellings of my name there are 23 known) is
listed. It is believed that he
and his brother Pierre were in the west 1800-1810.
In the document "The
Migration of Voyageurs from Drummond Island
to Penetanguishene in 1828" by
A.C. Osborne 1901 Francois Dusome is labelled
as one of the men in a photo as
"born at Fort Garry, Red River, 1820 (page
5). It also states Francois
Dusseaume was the old mail-carrier (page 7).
Within the list of Voyageurs
(page 29) Francoise Clermont is listed as
Francis Dussaume, sen.'s wife. His
DOB is 1796 & DOD Dec. 27, 1872. Her DOB
is 1808 Indian Territory & DOD Dec.
16, 1855.
Their son Francois Dusome DOB July 12, 1822
Red River & DOD Mar. 29, 1906
married Sept. 28, 1841 Ste. Anne's Church,
Penetanguishene, ON to Elizabeth
aka Isabelle Giroux DOB May 10, 1822 Drummond
Is. & DOD Apr. 03, 1910.
Those are the dates I know.
Sincerely,
Jane Dusome
