Moise Bissonnette
Moise (Moyse) Bissonnette was the son of Jean Baptiste Bissonnette and Marie Anne Lareau. He was born on Sept.1st and baptized Sept. 2nd , 1822 at St Luc, St Jean, Quebec, Canada. His godparents were Joseph Gagne and Marguerite Tremblay.
Moise and Julie had 11 children: Julia, Moyse, Marie Celina, Joseph (spouse-Celina Beauvais)-my next ancestor, Marie (spouse-#1Frederic Narbonne, #2 Louis Champagne), Esther, Napoleon, Harriet (Hattie), Charles, Elizabeth (Libbie) (spouse- Hyacinthe Souliere) and Francois. Julia, Moyse, & Marie Celina were all baptized at St Jean l'evangeliste de Dorchester, St Jean, Quebec. Joseph was probably baptized at St. Bernard's in Cohoes, NY because that was the only Catholic Church in Cohoes at that time. On the 1850 Federal Census, Joseph was listed as 1 year old who had been born in New York State. Marie Bissonnette was baptized at St. Bernard's in 1852. The rest of the children were also probably baptized there but I have no authentic record of them
Moise was the first of the Bissonnettes to come to the United States. He came to Cohoes, New York (Albany County) sometime between January 1848 and May 1949. On the 1880 census, Moise and his family were listed living at 8 Columbia St., Cohoes. After moving to Cohoes, the name Bissonnette was often changed to Bisnett.
Moise died Oct. 6, 1883 at 8 Columbia St., Cohoes and was buried in Calvary Cemetery, Cohoes, NY. Julie died October 23, 1891 at 38 Factory St. (rear), Cohoes, NY and was buried in Calvary Cemetery, Cohoes, NY.
Moise and Julie (Julienne) Kaigle were married on October 4, 1842 at Saint Jean-l'Evangeliste de Dorchester, St Jean, Quebec, Canada. Those present were: Jean Baptiste Bissonnette, father of the groom, Francois Bissonnette, brother of the groom, George Kaigle, father of the bride, Louis William, a friend and several other friends.
Julie was the daughter of George Kaigle (Goekel) and Julie Sylvestre and she was born May 29th, 1825 at St Luc, St Luc, St Jean, Quebec, Canada.
