Misc.: –
- This is where I place scattered bits of information from my Archives.
- 1. Andre Cadieux and Julie Evans are recognized as forebearers of the Metis Cadieux lines by the Metis Nation of Ontario. Their offspring include: Andre Cadieux (m. Eliza Quigley), Isidore Cadieux (m. Marie Louise Boucher), Joseph Cadieux (m. Marie Farling), Julie Cadieux (m. Joseph Legris / Prisque), and Louis Cadieux (m. Mary Louis).
- 2. (excerpt 1) Andre Cadieux “a pensioner, on a Park lot, South Poyntz Street, Penetanguishene, was born in the Province of Quebec, on the Island of Montreal, and went up with the Hudson’s Bay Company. He had a medal, won in the British army in Lower Canada. He saw some hard service going up the Ottawa. After reaching a certain point meat supplies were stopped; the allowance then became four ounces of tallow, and one quart of corn per day for each man, and any game they could shoot. He was descended from the family of Charles Cadieux, of Quebec city, who took the oath in 1767, and another of his ancestors was Joseph Cadieux, who was at the battle of Bennington, and drew seven hundred acres of land at St. Sulpice under Lord Dorchester in 1788. He had six sons and one daughter. The sons were: André jun., killed at Port Severn; Isidore, living in Penetanguishene; Louis, Joseph, Jean, and Baptiste, living at the “Sault”, and in different parts of the United States. All these were born in Penetanguishene.
- 3. (excerpt 2) Julie Cadieux “(daughter of Andre, sen.), ” … was born at Drummond Island, and became the wife of Joseph Legris. She is now a widow living at Byng Inlet. Her father and William Couture at one time occupied a double house, standing on the corner where Dr. Spohn’s residence now stands in Penetanguishene.
