Oct. 15, 1851, Julie-Anne Taillon was born near Cornwall, Ontario. She had lived here about 25 years. She may have been a Mohawk Indian. Mabel Lalonde, Uncle Frank's daughter, told her daughter Muriel that Julianne was a Mohawk Indian. Another -grandson of Uncle Frank's remembers his mother telling him that Julianne was an Indian princess.
From an online cemetery transcription of the North Watertown Cemetery, Janet Taillon Lalonde was buried as Janet Parker. Laura Lalonde knew that Janet was married to a Parker, but did not know his first name. See http://www.geocities.com/lcorbett/cemeteryp.htm Page 3 of 19. Paper copy in notebook under cemeteries.
