Axilda (Exilda) Foucault is my Great Grandmother. Her son Arthur is my grandfather, Axilda and Jean Baptiste Rivet had 6 children.
Rose, Paul, Alphonse, Dora, Arthur, Blanch.
Axilda was born in Hull, 1870, died in Agawam MA, 17 Mar 1904. She was the daughter of Olive Dupuis and Gedeon Foucault.
Jean Baptiste Rivet is not proven. I believe he was born in 1869, and have some basis for that, but not set in stone. our family has no solid proof though.... His death is unknown.
One of the sons of JB and Axilda died young. I believe it was Paul, because of a death record found for the death of a 10 yr old Paul in 1897.
That said, the 5 remaining siblings were orphaned in 1904, as my grandfather was in an orphanage shortly after that.
Arthur supposedly never knew his real birthday. He celebrated it on 4 July 1894, but no one really if it was true. However after hours of searching I found the following.... the birth of J. Athur Rivet son of JB Rivet and Axilda Foucault.
