  • Clement - my paternal side.  Originated with Pierre Clement and Marie-Catherine Prezeau from Tarascon, France.

  • Macklem-Wilkin-Morley-Charbonneau-Tough-Cole - my maternal side.  This Macklem branch originated in the village of Darkley, Keady, County Armagh, Ireland with Benjamin who came to the US from Ireland, moved  to Upper Canada and settled in Hornby, Esquesing County, Ontario.  Benjamin and his wife, Jane Isabella Wilkin and their children, William John (my grandfather) and his sister, Mary Theresa Ann (married Peter Morley) are listed in the 1861 census for Halton, Esquesing Township, Ontario.  Mary Theresa Ann and Peter Morley moved to Dauphin, Manitoba at the turn of the century and their descendants still reside there.  An Isabella Macklim (note spelling of last name) is listed in 1856 as being a member of the Farlton Baptist Church in Hornby, Ontario. Benjamin returned to the US to settle his affairs and was apparently drafted into the army during the Civil War where he was killed.  Jane 'Isabella' remarried in 1865 to Baptiste Ambrose Charbonneau and this is where the Charbonneau-Tough-Cole families comes in.  I have searched endlessly to verify Benjamin's service in the American Civil War and to-date have not been able to do so.
