Found a copy of Mary Martell's "Our People...the Indians". On page 80 she states, "Peter LaRocque that lives in Prairie du Chien is a son of Joseph LaRocque (Rock) and Clara Gerry and a grandson of Pierre (Peter) LaRocque. This is news!
However, on page 62 she writes: "Joseph Larocque, son of Jean Bpts. married Elizabeth Gremore. To them were born Mary, died 1859, Joseph, baptised 1861, married Clara Gerry in 1888, the only one of that branch who lives in Prairie now is Peter. A Jo Louis LaRocque, son of Roc LaRocque, married Marie McDonald, and Marie Louise, daughter of Roc LaRocque, died in 1871.

Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any helpful hints for rookie blog writers? I'd genuinely appreciate it. zaraco.shop

Yes, another conversation. This site freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wapasha/wapa1cunksi.html claims that Margaret was the daughter of a man named Gauthier. But the affidavit of her daughter, Emily Rolette Hooe, calls her "Margaret Dubois" and swore, in 1855, that Margaret had been the cousin of the present chief Wabasha, which would have had to have been Wabasha III in 1855. I will check on the Dubois family. Later: I checked in "Wisconsin Creoles", which says: pg 239-240 "Dubois Family The mother of this family was a sister of the Sioux Indian Chief WauPa Sha [Wahpasha or Wapasha] and was reported to be a slave of Charles de Langlade. She had two daughters by Charles GAUTIER de Verville' Margerite married Joseph Rolette; and Catherine, who married Jean Baptiste Brunette. She later married Jean Baptiste Dubois, son of Pierre Ignace Dubois and Therese Campion. Jean Baptiste drowned in Lake Michigan in 1791 with his bourgeois (employer) Jean Louis Carignon." Later on, Jean Joseph Rolette [commonly known as Joe Rolette, Sr.] married a young girl, who was from the Gautier de Verville line, as well. Her name was Genevieve/Jane Fisher. In due course this Jane married Hercules Dousman at Prairie du Chien. I am interested in your source that states Margaret/Marguerite Rolette was the daughter of Dubois.
