Charles THIBEAULT was born 14 August 1786 in Saint-Ours, Province of Québec, Canada

Charles THIBEAULT was the child of Toussaint THIBEAULT and Thérèse-Marie CARPENTIER (CHARPENTIER) and the grandchild of: (paternal) Nicolas THIBAULT and Marie-Thérèse MASTA (maternal) Joseph CARPENTIER and Marie-Thérèse LEFEBVRE

Spouse(s)/Partner(s) and Child(ren):

Charles married Marie-Elisabeth-Isabelle TAILLON dite LATAILLE 13 October 1806 in Sorel, Lower Canada . The couple had (at least) 12 children.
Marie-Elisabeth-Isabelle TAILLON dite LATAILLE was born 18 December 1785 in Sorel, Québec, Canada (Saint-Pierre). Marie-Elisabeth-Isabelle died 26 October 1828 in Sorel, Québec, Canada (Saint-Pierre). Marie-Elisabeth-Isabelle was the child of Louis-Charles MICHEL TAILLON dit LATAILLE and Geneviève DUGUAY dite LAFRANCHISE.

Charles married (2) Felicite DORVAL 9 February 1830 in Sorel, Lower Canada . The couple had (at least) 8 children.
Felicite DORVAL was born 6 December 1806 in Sorel, Québec, Canada (Saint-Pierre). Felicite died 18 October 1888 in Grafton, Massachusetts, USA (Saundersville) (Fisherville). Felicite was the child of Jean-Baptiste DORVAL and Marie-Louise COMEAU.

Charles THIBEAULT died 13 March 1842 in Sorel, Canada East .

NOTE: It is likely that Charles Thibeault was born in St-Ours, Québec. Some of the data I have found indicates that the year of birth might be 1773, 1776, 1778, or 1786. The records from St-Ours from that time period are difficult if not impossible to read. His 1806 marriage (left) indicates the correct parents.

He was possibly baptised 14 Aug 1786 Sorel, Pierre-De Saurel, Quebec, Canada. Marie Charlotte Thibault (recorded as female, probably an error).

Details of the family tree of Charles appear below.

Québec Généalogie - Over time, Québec has gone through a series of name changes
From its inception in the early 1600s until 1760, it was called Canada, New France.
1760 to 1763, it was simply Canada
1763 to 1791 - Province of Québec
1791 to 1867 - Lower Canada
1867 to present - Québec, Canada.
