I just came across some information on Antoine Desmore and family on the above web site, and realized it is written incorrectly.
Antoine Desmore came from France to Canada, where he remained until his death. Of his five children, Isaac was born in Canada, and came to Brownville in 1837, where he died in 1877, aged 72 years. He married Martha, daughter of Francis Amel, of Canada, and his children were John D., Isaac, Martha, Ursula, Mary, Melissa, Hester, Helen and Franklin D.
It reads as if Isaac Desmore married Mary Fitzgerald. This is not so…it was Isaac’s son, FRANKLIN D. DESMORE, who married Mary Fitgerald and had the children noted as written.
(The latter came to Brownville with his father, where he married) Mary, daughter of Morris Fitzgerald, by whom he had 10 children, viz.: Adda (deceased), Isaac M., Kate, Ida M. (Mrs. James M. Wilder) Franklin D., Martha W., Henrietta, Jay M., John W., and Eliza. Franklin D. Desmore has resided in the village of Dexter, in Brownville, since his marriage. James M. Wilder had born to him five children, and died November 13, 1887
