For the 40th week of this challenge, I used the optional weekly theme (October) to write about my paternal ancestors Joseph and Angélique (Bissonnette) Adam, who have a wedding anniversary in October.

Here a few facts about Joseph and Angélique:
• They are my double ancestors, nos. 166/182 and 167/183, respectively.
• Joseph was a fraternal twin with his sister Marie Charlotte. [1]
• Joseph and Angélique married on 9 October 1775 in St-Michel-de-la-Durantaye (now St-Michel-de-Bellechasse, Quebec), 240 years ago this week. [2] They were married for 49 years.
• They had previously entered into a marriage contract ten days earlier (September 30) in the notarial office of Joseph Riverin. [3]
• They received a dispensation to marry, because Angélique was Joseph’s second cousin once removed. [4]
• Joseph was almost 20 years old and Angélique was 18. [4]
• They were the parents of eleven children, three sons and seven (or eight) daughters, born between 1777 and 1799. [6]
• They have only female-line descendants, because their sons (Joseph, Louis, and Pierre) died as infants. [7]
• Joseph’s occupation: journalier (day laborer). [8]
• Joseph died on 27 December 1824 and was buried in Beloeil, east of Montreal. [9]
• Angélique survived her husband by ten years. She died on 26 December 1834 in Marieville, near Beloeil, where she was buried. [10]
