    (refers to son of Georges)

    George Pomerleau was born in Canada, in 1845. He came to Hennepin County in 1853, and for ten years lived with his parents on a farm. The next eight years he was employed by the government, teaming from Fort Snelling, and Fort Abercrombie. He is now proprietor of the "Philadelphia Exchange," of this city, 215 First street north. He was married, in 1873, to Miss Victoria Blondio. Three children have been born to them.

  4. Zoé Pomerleau, daughter of Augustin and Zoé Denis married Arcadius Collette, aka Arcaduse and "Archie". The Collettes came to Hennepin County, MN in 1864. Arcadius and Zoé then moved on to Oakwood Township, Walsh County, North Dakota.

  5. Mary Scott was the daughter of Joseph Scott. They resided in Corcoran Township, Hennepin County. On the 1873 plat map of Corcoran, a Joseph Scott is shown as owning land in section 29. Interesting, directly to the southeast in the same section, one George D. Pomerleau is also shown as owning land. Perhaps this is the connection between Bartholomew Pomerleau and Mary Scott

  6. Bartholomew Pomerleau (1857-1947) had 3 wives. The first wife, Mary Scott, died at the age of 27. Bartholomew's second wife was a Mary Guimont; it appears that someone named Paul is connected to this marriage, but how is unknown. Bartholomew's third wife's maiden name was Peletier, but her first name is unknown.

  7. In a conversation with Gilbert Pomerleau (1912-2006) in September 2000, Gilbert stated that his grandfather, Bartholomew Pomerleau, (1857-1947) had 3 children. With Mary Scott they had a son named Maxim. Later a daughter Mary and son Eugene were born but the pedigree has not been determined.
