Hello I came across this post & it caught my eye. I also have a great great
grandmother named Esther Demer (Desmaris) believed to be brn in abt 1855 in Keeseville, NY
area.. Daughter of Joseph Demer & Cesarine
Rivedeau (Sarah Robidoux) both brn Quebec & died in Keeseville.
Esther, married not a Champagne though but Ezra Menard ..listed as on their wedding
& 2 children's baptismals in Keeseville
. Azarie Menard & Esther Desmarais
married 6 Apr 1874, St John the Baptist of Keeseville
Marie Eleanor, born 13 Nov, bapt 13 Dec 1874, St John the Baptist of Keeseville
Georges, born 5 Feb, bapt 17 Apr 1876, St John the Baptist of Keeseville
They are next found in Danemorra on the 1880 census, he's working as a miner. They
also have a 1 yr old Ellen at this time.
I believe, Esther dies in CT in 1896 as Esther Minor & Ezra is found in Putnam CT
also as Ezra Minor .. Some of our family records indicate the name Minor mixed in with
other records that call them Menard.
