Dear Chaudoins,
I was doing a search for books on FirstSearch, a library
website and came across a book written by a Jean Baptiste Chaudoin titled "A
Monseigneur le comte de Caraman, commandant en chef en provence". It
basically about agriculture I think. This man according to the
bibliographic information was born in 1727. I got to wondering about our
Francis and since he was supposed to be born around 1725 maybe (I know it's
a long shot) related to our Chaudoins especially since his name is spelled
the exact way and not (Chaudron) as some people suspect. Does anyone out
there speak French or at least read it? The book is owned by the New York
Public Library and could be inter-library loaned (at least, I think it can).
There may be some information about this man in the book. Any way it's
worth a shot.

I don't know if anyone has any permanent records that states who Benjamin's parents were. There has been a concensus that Benjamin was s/o Francis Chaudoin, Jr. and his wife, Mrs. Judith (???) Hutchings-Chaudoin. His middle name is thought to have been Samuel. Looking at what I have gathered together on Benjamin with input from many seasoned researchers, I have this:
Marriage bond was posted 28 Feb 1818 with bondsmen: Benjamin CHAUDOIN & Joseph B. SUBLETT and with Phebe GUPTON giving her consent on 26 Feb 1818. They were married on 1 Mar 1818 with witness being William WRIGHT.
Lived 1850 Green Co., KY. Benjamin CHAUDOIN, farmer, age 56y, lived Green Co., KY in 1850 Census at #131 and real estate valued at $487.00. Living next door in 1850 at #132 was his son, Reuben, and Reuben's wife, Matilda.
In 1860 Census Green Co., KY Benjamin, age 66y, was enumerated at #425 as farmer worth $680 in real estate and $300 in personal property. Also, living with the family in 1860 was Miskel TAYLOR, male farmhand, 18y, b KY; Elizabeth WILLIAMS, 17y, b KY; & Mary J. DOBSON, 22y, b KY. Living next door to them at #426 in 1860 was Asbury & Phoebe (CHAUDOIN) SUFFETT. In 1860 they lived close to the Metcalf Co., KY line.
Died 8 May 1869. Buried "Kidwell Cemetery"/Chaudoin Cemetery on farm later owned by Arthur CHAUDOIN on Pierce-Donansburg Rd., Green Co., KY.
Now, we have listed this for Reuben Chaudoin, s/o Francis Chaudoin and Sarah Weaver, who you indicate is the father of Reuben according to the reference.
Reuben Chaudoin b ca 1756; m 1785 to Elizabeth Stewart, but first child being born is listed as Lewellen/Lewellyn J. CHAUDOIN b 1807 leaving a gap of 22 years from marriage to birth of first known child, if the the info is correct. Certainly there would have been other children before 1807, and Benjamin S. Chaudoin could fit into this family as Benjamin Stewart Chaudoin. Then we have Reuben b ca 1756 marrying 1841 to Matilda Hooper. We have nothing on a marriage to Elizabeth Ribley.
With a s/o Benjamin named Reuben there is a possibility that Reuben was named for his paternal grandfather or for an uncle.
This certainly raises some questions as to the true parentage of Benjamin S. Chaudoin. Does anyone else have information and documentation that states who his parents were? Does Ancestry.com list the name & e-mail of the person giving this information as such. Would appreciate any additional insight as Benjamin is my hubby's ancestor.

Ancestry.com lists Benjamin S. Chaudoin's parents as Reuben Chaudoin b. 1756 in Chesterfield Co. VA and Elizabeth Ribley. Any ideas?
