Charlotte Beaurosier burial record (FamilySearch)

Born in July 1754, Charlotte was one of six children of François Lunegent (aka Lunegant, Nunegand) dit Beaurosier and his wife Marie Louise Ouimet. In February 1772, Charlotte married Joseph Prosper Desgroseilliers, by whom she had thirteen children, including younger son François (born in 1783), my ancestor.

Joseph Prosper died at an unknown location and unknown date between 1795 and 1800. Charlotte, who survived him, died on 9 May 1835. [1] Their eldest son Ambroise (1774-1860) was present at her burial the next day in the cemetery of St-Joachim parish in Châteauguay, Quebec.
