I began researching my family tree back in 1976 when my father discovered a paternal link of his ancestry ten generations back to Acadia in the 1600’s. It was a fun and wonderful discovery, and I have been engaged in genealogy ever since. This book is a summary of many of the ancestors I have discovered. It does not include all known ancestors since once you get past the 12th generation into ancient noble familes of England and France, the numbers would become much too large to put into these charts. For most of my ancestors who were from noble families, I provide information about their ancestors and on occasion follow one of their lines back as far as the records show. I generally do not show all the anestors since to do so would have required that I double the size of this book. There are well over a thousand ancestors listed in these charts. With some lines I can go back over thirty generations. Many of my ancestral lines go back thirteen generations or more. I try to to list sources for the information in the book. In this age of the internet, most of the information in these charts can be found by doing google searches of the name or family. Much of the information in these charts can be found in websites. A lot of the information on my French Canadian ancestors can be found in the Archives nationals du Quebec, Centre d’archives de Montreal PRDH at the University of Montreal (Programme de Recherche en Demographie Historique,www.genealogy.mon- treal.ca/en/main.html) and the Dictionnaire genealogique de nos Origines, by Denis Beauregard www.genealogie.com. Information on ancient family lines was obtained from a variety of sources, most which is available online. If you want to get additional information on any of the immigrant ancestors listed in this book, simply google their names and you will find detailed information for most of them. I provide names of sources for some of the ancient family lines, some which have detailed references. I certainly cannot verify the accuracy of ancient lines. My ancestors were some of the first Europeans to settle here. In fact, some of my ancestors were here when the Europeans came. Many of my ancestral lines go back to the 1500’s in France and England who had laws which required the recording of baptisms, deaths and weddings1. Some even go further back. Most of my ancestors were peasants or common folk although some were nobles and knights. Following is a sampling of some of the persons who make up my American Roots: • I have a direct ancestor who lost both of his eyes on order of King Henry I of England after he was labeled a traitor by fighting the King at the battle of Rougemontiers in France which was fought in 1124 A.D. (30. Geoffrey de Turville) • I have many direct ancestors who were protestant and came to the new world to escape religious prosecution. Those who were English of course remained protestant but those who were French had to convert to Catholicism in order to conform to French laws that only allowed Catholics in New France. • I have a direct ancestor who was the Sheriff of Hertfordshire in merry old England in the 1300’s. (21. Sir Roger de Puttenham). • Charlemagne is a direct ancestor of mine through several noble lines. William the Conqueror is one too! In other words, I can trace my bloodlines back to the Celtic, Germanic and Roman people who lived in Europe during the Dark Ages. Immigrant ancestors of Mark Labine where noble connections have clearly been established are 10.Jean Baptiste Sicard de Carufel, 13.Michel Leneuf, 14.Jeanne LaMarchand, 12.Catherine de Baillon, 10.Francois de Chavigny, 10.Mathieu Amyot, 11.Anne Couvent, 11.Pierre du Lignon, Sieur de La Mirande, and 13.John Putnam. Other immigrant ancestors who appear from the information available to be from noble families include, 11.Jean Jacquet de Gerlaise, 11.Jean Francois de Billy, 11.Etienne de Lessard, 11.Eleanore de Grandmaison, 11.Jacques Aubert, 11.Anne Godefroy, 11.Thankful Woodward, and 11.Edward Elmer. 1 In 1539 in his castle in Villers-Cotterets, King Francis I of France signed an edict known as the Ordinance of Villers-Cotterets, which among other reforms, required priests to register births, marriages and deaths and to establish a registry office in every parish. King Francis also required every person to have a “surname” and because of this edict I am able to trace many of my French ancestors back to the 1500’s. Ancestral Chart Page 3 • I have an ancestor who was with the famous explorer Jean Nicollet when he died in Quebec (11.Francois de Chavigny). • I have three direct ancestors who fought in or near the battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775 (9.David Johnson, 9.Othniel Taylor and 8.William Boyd). • I have a brother of a direct ancestor who fought with Roger’s Rangers who were made famous in the book “Northwest Passage” (Lt. Jacob Farrington, brother to 8.Elizabeth Farrington). • I have a direct ancestor who was one of the original colonists of Southampton, Long Island, New York (11. John Farrington). • I have at least two direct ancestors who were Native Americans (8.Pert Won and wife or lover of 8.Alexander McDougall). • I have a direct ancestor who was the Bishop of London in the 1500’s (15.

Josiah Johnson, and 8.James Dascomb) and one direct ancestor who fought for the British side (9.Lt. Duncan McDougall Sr.) • I have at least two direct ancestors who fought in the Civil War (6.Alexander Seber and 5.Adelphis David Verboncoeur). I have a cousin of one direct ancestor who died from wounds received at Gettysburg (Edmund Dascomb) and one cousin of a direct ancestor who won the Congressional Medal of Honor (Lt. Colonel Robert Whedon Steele). One of my direct ancestors was believed killed in Sherman’s march to the sea only to discover that the man who died was his replacement (5.Alexander Seber). • I have several direct ancestors who were soldiers in the War of 1812 (7.Joseph Labissioniere, 7.Archibald Jackson Sr. and 7.George Dascomb). • I have several direct ancestors who fought in the Indian wars of early America and Quebec, and several of them were killed by the Indians (12.Edward Elmer, 12.Jean Turcotte, 12.Jacques Lucas 11. Jean Dalpe dit Pariseau and 13. John Graves) • I have the brother of a direct ancestor who was hung as a pirate in Boston in 1725 along with his minor son (Jean Baptiste Guidry, brother to 9.Pierre Guidry dit Labine). • I have a direct ancestor who was a parliamentary lawyer in Paris in the 1600’s, (11.Pierre Sicard) and several ancestors who were judges (13.Pierre Guibert, 11.Francois Perrot, 11.Michel Boudreau, 11.Abraham Dugas, 11.Jacques Turcotte, 13.Michel Leneuf du Herisson, and 12.Charles Sevestre).
