My great grandfather, François Truchon, was known as Frank. Born in Matane and baptized at Saint Jerôme Church, he was the sixth of eleven children born to Zoë Imbault and Ephraim Léveillé dit Truchon. As a young man, Frank came to New Hampshire where he worked for the railroad. On September 12, 1892 he married Marie Roy (or King) the daughter of Basile Roy, in Concord, New Hampshire. Frank and Marie lived in the Concord area for many years. They were parents of six children-a boy and five girls. Around the year 1920, Frank's children left New Hampshire and came to live in Connecticut. Eventually, Frank moved to Connecticut as well. Frank died in Fairfield, while visiting his son's home. He is buried in Mount Calvary Cemetery, Concord.
