Fils d'Augustin et jeanne Paré

Augustin Lacroix supported the American Rebels in the US Revolutionary War. He is officially listed as a Patriot in the DAR registry. Here is a little bit about his role:

May 26, 1776 Parish of St. Fereol, From the journal of Francois Baby

"Augustin Lacroix incited several young men from this parish to join the rebels. He stood guard at Sault, always talking of sedition. He opposed the passage of St. Joachim's habitants when they attempted to go offer their services to the governor last fall. In short, he was one of the most disloyal subjects in the parish."

Sault was probably the falls at Montmorency, approximately six miles from Quebec.
