• Notes

  Also spelled Chilafoux. He was a master carpenter; his specialty was erecting timberwork. According to the PRDH, this immigrant's marriage record to Jacquette Archambault names his father as "Paul," but documents about the immigrant's father found in France reveal that his name was actually "Mathurin."
