Marguerite Belile 
Marguerite was born before 1809 in Probably Region Of Berthier-En-Haut, Quebec Province, Canada.1 Marguerite's father was UNKNOWN UNKNOWN and her mother was Josephte Valois. She was an only child. She died in Vermont.1 General Notes
Marguerite Valois at the marriage in Berthier, Canada, was indicated to be illegitimate, the daughter of a woman named Josephte Valois. At the baptism of Marguerite Valois' daughter Marguerite St. Martin in 1827 at Berthier, the godmother was Josephte Valois, grandmother. The godfather was Charles Belisle-Germain.
It is highly likely Joseph BLONDIN in Vermont and N.Y. is a priest's misunderstanding for the less common name of BIDAGUIN. It is also likely the name of BELISLE assigned to Marguerite VALOIS in the 1851 baptisms at St. Joseph's in Burlington, Vt. is a clue to the family of her unknown father. In French Canada, illegitimate children were frequently known informally by the name of the father (presuming that everyone in the village knew who he was) rather than the name of the mother, which was officially given to them.
‌Marguerite and Joseph were married in a religious ceremony on October 12th, 1824 in Ste-Genevieve-DE-Berthier, Quebec Province, Canada.1 They had seven sons and two daughters, named Jean-Baptiste, Louis, Hercule, Joseph, Honore, David, Joseph, Margueritte and Josephine.
