The LeVasseurs in Illinois in the 19th century (part 1)

A man named Noël (Jack Klasey Looking Back)

“… On Christmas Eve, 1799, in a log cabin at St. Michel d’Yamaska, Quebec, Marie Angelique Lavallee LeVasseur gave birth to a healthy baby boy, the fifth of her ten children. Marie and her husband, Antoine, decided to baptize this child with the name “Noël” in honor of the holy day.”
