Early Chartrands

These are the earliest records we have of the Chartrand family.

Luc Chartrand
Luc Chartrand was born December 21, 1822 to Pierre Chartrand, III and Hyppolite Pauline Brasseur, in St. Polycarpe, Soulanges, Quebec. Little is known about his childhood. The Chartrand family name was also spelled as Chartrain; Chartreau; and Chawtraw. Luc married Marguerite Caskanette June 11, 1844 in St. Anicet, Huntingdon Co, Quebec. The couple were most likely married in their local Catholic church, and it seems their families knew each other as the couple's fathers settled in the same area of Greenock County at the same time. Per "The History of the County of Bruce and of the minor municipalities therein, Province of Ontario, Canada" BY NORMAN ROBERTSON Treasurer of the County of Bruce Secretary Bruce County Historical Society 1906: "The price at which these lands were offered by the Crown was 7s. 6d. per acre. In the year 1849 lands were also taken up in Greenock, where the village of Riversdale now stands, by two French-Canadians, Joseph Chartrand and John Caskanette. These men were in the employ of A. P. Brough, P.L.S., during the survey of the Durham Road, the township of Brant and the Elora Eoad. The exact date of their settling on the lots they selected is uncertain. The author has conversed with them on the subject, but found their recollections lacking in definiteness. Goderich was their base of supplies, a point more than fifty miles distant." By the 1851 Canadian census, the families were located in Greenock Township, Bruce Co., Ontario, lines 20-21: Pierre and Paulette Chartrand, Luc and Margaret Chartrand and their first 3 children, along with Luc's sister Hester Chartrand (age 15) living together in a log shanty, 20'X18'. It is located on Range 1, Lot 27, and is as follows: 50 acres, 10 acres in crops, 40 acres in woods. On Lots 25/26, is a Raphael Chartrand, 100 acres, and 195 acres of wood. Lot 27 is Paulette Villaud (Valade), Luc's sister, with 50 acres. Lot 28 is Baptiste Castanette (spelled Castanah) with 50 acres.

Joseph "Crutch" (Kroetsch family) is listed as an earlier settler. He lived in Little Current a few years and had a sail boat, and brought some of the early settlers from Little Current to Mudge Bay and Gore Bay, as the steamers they came on only went as far as Little Current. Luc was a friend of the Henrys and worked at their mill for a few years." From the Manitoulin Expositor: June 12, 1880: "Luke Chautreau, the first settler on Kagawong Lake, was buried at West Bay on Saturday last..." Luc died at the age of 57 at Gorebay, on Manitoulin Island, but is buried at Westbay, as is his wife Margaret Caskanette. According to the Manitoulin Expositor he was buried June 12, 1880 on a Saturday. They say the family left the Island in 1886 for Kansas.
Marguerite (Caskanette) Chartrand
Marguerite Caskanette was born on September 15, 1823 in St. Hyacinth, Huntingdon, Quebec. Her parents were Joseph Edmond Caskanette, Jr. and Josephte Dupuis. Marguerite was the 10th child of 14 children born to this couple. Marguerites' parents and ancestors were Catholic, and immigrated from St. Pierre de Lendemain, France to Quebec. There are various spellings of the name Caskanette. On June 11, 1844, Marguerite married Luc Chartrand in St. Anicet, Huntingdon Co, Quebec.

Angeline (Chartrand) Kroetsch
Angeline Angele Chartrand was born December 15, 1853 in Riversdale, Bruce Co.,Ontario, the daughter of Luc Chartrand and Marguerite Caskanette. Angeline was the 4th child of 12. On November 4, 1871, Angeline married Jospeh Jacob Kroetsch, in Formosa, Bruce Co., Ontario. Joseph Jacob was a shrewd and hard-working business man and was involved with various businesses. He was a member of Ancient Order of United Workmen, Lodge no. 229 (Hoxie) ...this organization was also very 'strong' in Ontario, so JJ could have first joined there, and continued in Hoxie. JJ also was a FreeMason. Per Jane Klassen's Kroetch Family book: "Joseph took over the operation of John Baptist's woolen mill in Formosa, Ontario. He married Angeline Chartrand, daughter of Luc and Margaret Cascagnette Chartrand on November 4, 1871. Joseph and Angeline had 12 children. The first two died as infants in Formosa, the next three were born at Greenock, which was nearby. In 1878 or 1879, Joseph & Angeline removed from Inneskillen to Manitoulin Island, to be closer to Luc and Marguerite Chartrand. Four more children were born there.

Angeline Angele Chartrand was born December 15, 1853 in Riversdale, Bruce Co.,Ontario, the daughter of Luc Chartrand and Marguerite Caskanette. Angeline was the 4th child of 12. On November 4, 1871, Angeline married Jospeh Jacob Kroetsch, in Formosa, Bruce Co., Ontario. Joseph Jacob was a shrewd and hard-working business man and was involved with various businesses. He was a member of Ancient Order of United Workmen, Lodge no. 229 (Hoxie) ...this organization was also very 'strong' in Ontario, so JJ could have first joined there, and continued in Hoxie. JJ also was a FreeMason. Per Jane Klassen's Kroetch Family book: "Joseph took over the operation of John Baptist's woolen mill in Formosa, Ontario. He married Angeline Chartrand, daughter of Luc and Margaret Cascagnette Chartrand on November 4, 1871. Joseph and Angeline had 12 children. The first two died as infants in Formosa, the next three were born at Greenock, which was nearby. In 1878 or 1879, Joseph & Angeline removed from Inneskillen to Manitoulin Island, to be closer to Luc and Marguerite Chartrand. Four more children were born there. About 1886, Joseph & his family moved to Plainville, Kansas. Three more children were born in Plainville, KS." Name: Joseph J.

Kroetch has returned from Grinell, where he went several days ago to check out a car of lumber, which he sold, to be used in the erection of an addition to the Catholic Church at Angelus..." The family were very committed to their Catholic faith, and lived about a block from the Catholic church in Plainville. On July 5, Angeline lost her husband to heatstroke. Hutchinson News Monday, July 05, 1897, Hutchinson, Kansas "Fatal Case of Sunstroke: Belleville, Ill., July 4; J.J. Kroetch, of Plainville, KS, who was in the employ of William Schiebel, a Shiloh Valley farmer, was overcome by the heat while harvesting wheat on Schiebels' farm, five miles east of this city, and died before assistance could be obtained or any relief afforded him." Because of JJ's membership in the AOUW, he left Angeline an insurance policy (about $5,000) which was unusual for those days!

By 1906, Angeline decided to sell her property in Plainville and move out west to Idaho. She used part of her husband's insurance policy to invest in land outside of Harrison, Idaho where her sons and son-in-laws started a family lumber business. Plainville Times July 19, 1906 "..Mrs. Kroetch last week sold her houses and lots in Freeman & Coopers addition to Thomas Traylor....Mrs. Kroetch expects to leave soon for Idaho where her sons Al and Joe reside. P.D. Spellman of the Bartlett Land Agency made the deal." Per Plainville Times, dated Sept. 13, 1906: "Mrs. Angeline Kroetch and family leave Monday for Couer D'Alene, Idaho, to make her future home.

Marguerite Caskanette was born on September 15, 1823 in St. Hyacinth, Huntingdon, Quebec. Her parents were Joseph Edmond Caskanette, Jr. and Josephte Dupuis. Marguerite was the 10th child of 14 children born to this couple. Marguerites' parents and ancestors were Catholic, and immigrated from St. Pierre de Lendemain, France to Quebec. There are various spellings of the name Caskanette. On June 11, 1844, Marguerite married Luc Chartrand in St. Anicet, Huntingdon Co, Quebec.

Joseph "Crutch" (Kroetsch family) is listed as an earlier settler. He lived in Little Current a few years and had a sail boat, and brought some of the early settlers from Little Current to Mudge Bay and Gore Bay, as the steamers they came on only went as far as Little Current. Luc was a friend of the Henrys and worked at their mill for a few years." Marguerite's husband, Luc, died in June 1880. According to the Manitoulin Expositor he was buried June 12, 1880 on a Saturday. From the Manitoulin Expositor: June 12, 1880: "Luke Chautreau, the first settler on Kagawong Lake, was buried at West Bay on Saturday last..." Luc died at the age of 57 at Gorebay, on Manitoulin Island, but is buried at Westbay. Marguerite passed away 4 years later in February 1884. She was buried alongside her husband in the Mission Cemetery, Manitoulin Island, West Bay, an Indian Reservation Mission. They say the rest of the family left the Island in 1886 for Kansas.
Luc Chartrand
Luc Chartrand was born December 21, 1822 to Pierre Chartrand, III and Hyppolite Pauline Brasseur, in St. Polycarpe, Soulanges, Quebec. Little is known about his childhood. The Chartrand family name was also spelled as Chartrain; Chartreau; and Chawtraw. Luc married Marguerite Caskanette June 11, 1844 in St. Anicet, Huntingdon Co, Quebec. The couple were most likely married in their local Catholic church, and it seems their families knew each other as the couple's fathers settled in the same area of Greenock County at the same time. Per "The History of the County of Bruce and of the minor municipalities therein, Province of Ontario, Canada" BY NORMAN ROBERTSON Treasurer of the County of Bruce Secretary Bruce County Historical Society 1906: "The price at which these lands were offered by the Crown was 7s. 6d. per acre.

Angeline (Chartrand) Kroetsch
Angeline Angele Chartrand was born December 15, 1853 in Riversdale, Bruce Co.,Ontario, the daughter of Luc Chartrand and Marguerite Caskanette. Angeline was the 4th child of 12. On November 4, 1871, Angeline married Jospeh Jacob Kroetsch, in Formosa, Bruce Co., Ontario. Joseph Jacob was a shrewd and hard-working business man and was involved with various businesses. He was a member of Ancient Order of United Workmen, Lodge no. 229 (Hoxie) ...this organization was also very 'strong' in Ontario, so JJ could have first joined there, and continued in Hoxie. JJ also was a FreeMason. Per Jane Klassen's Kroetch Family book: "Joseph took over the operation of John Baptist's woolen mill in Formosa, Ontario. He married Angeline Chartrand, daughter of Luc and Margaret Cascagnette Chartrand on November 4, 1871. Joseph and Angeline had 12 children. The first two died as infants in Formosa, the next three were born at Greenock, which was nearby. In 1878 or 1879, Joseph & Angeline removed from Inneskillen to Manitoulin Island, to be closer to Luc and Marguerite Chartrand. Four more children were born there. About 1886, Joseph & his family moved to Plainville, Kansas. Three more children were born in Plainville, KS." Name: Joseph J.

Luc Chartrand
Luc Chartrand was born December 21, 1822 to Pierre Chartrand, III and Hyppolite Pauline Brasseur, in St. Polycarpe, Soulanges, Quebec. Little is known about his childhood. The Chartrand family name was also spelled as Chartrain; Chartreau; and Chawtraw. Luc married Marguerite Caskanette June 11, 1844 in St. Anicet, Huntingdon Co, Quebec. The couple were most likely married in their local Catholic church, and it seems their families knew each other as the couple's fathers settled in the same area of Greenock County at the same time. Per "The History of the County of Bruce and of the minor municipalities therein, Province of Ontario, Canada" BY NORMAN ROBERTSON Treasurer of the County of Bruce Secretary Bruce County Historical Society 1906: "The price at which these lands were offered by the Crown was 7s. 6d. per acre. In the year 1849 lands were also taken up in Greenock, where the village of Riversdale now stands, by two French-Canadians, Joseph Chartrand and John Caskanette. These men were in the employ of A. P. Brough, P.L.S., during the survey of the Durham Road, the township of Brant and the Elora Eoad. The exact date of their settling on the lots they selected is uncertain. The author has conversed with them on the subject, but found their recollections lacking in definiteness. Goderich was their base of supplies, a point more than fifty miles distant." By the 1851 Canadian census, the families were located in Greenock Township, Bruce Co., Ontario, lines 20-21: Pierre and Paulette Chartrand, Luc and Margaret Chartrand and their first 3 children, along with Luc's sister Hester Chartrand (age 15) living together in a log shanty, 20'X18'.
