See notes under Joseph's brother-in-law Jean Baptiste Crely relative to a joint transaction in February 1786.


KASKASKIA RECORDS:

The following is from Kaskaskia Records, 1778-1790 (Public domain; Google digitized) pg 393. Gabriel Aubuchon is the step-father of Joseph Dupuis's wife Françoise.

On October 17, 1786 Joseph Dupuis appears before the Judge of the Civil and Criminal Court of the village of Kaskaskia and states that he has the intention of leaving the village to earn his living in some other place, and since he was previously named guardian of the minors of the late M. Gabriel Aubuchon, he petitions the judge to grant him permission to convoke an assembly of the relatives and friends of the minors in order to proceed to the nomination of a replacement guardian.

On the same day, October 17, the judge orders that relatives, and in default thereof, some of the friends of said guardians[sic] assemble on the 19th of this month in order to find a new guardian to replace the petitioner.
