Researchers who have been working on this line longer than I have are still trying to confirm the identity of William Popple's parents! |
Most of the names and life dates here come from Debra McCann's extensive pages, and the rest come from the World Connect sites linked here. But one of these days we're going to road trip to Chippewa County.....
According to "Charles Joseph Bottineau [Sr.], Techomehgood, and Their Descendants, with partial genealogies of the Boutin, Campbell, Desjarlais, LaPointe, Martell, McCann, McGillis, Nelson, Popple, and Raiche families" by James W. Chesebro (1990), Margaretta LaPointe's mother Mary/Emily Bottineau was the daughter of Charles Joseph Bottineau, most likely a French fur trader, and Techomehgood, a "Chippewa woman from the Hair Hills." Techomehgood's people, the Assiniboine, lived in a what is now (roughly) lower Manitoba and northeastern North Dakota. Someone transcribed a portion of Chesebro's research at this site.
Margaretta LaPointe's father, Suplice LaPointe dit Desautels was born in Quebec in 1795 to Charles Desautels dit LaPointe and Marie Louise Dupille and served in the US Army during the War of 1812. He also worked for the Hudson Bay Company. Chesebro's report has much more about these families, and many of their life dates are listed at Debra McCann's sites above.
