JEROME HISTORY The large and extension Jerome family presently in the Dakotas, Minnesota, and Manitoba area, or the District of Assiniboia - as the area was known from 1811 to 1870 ~ perhaps began with Francois Amable Jerome. Francois Amable Jerome was born in 1704. He first came west in 1734 with a group led by Pierre Gaultier, Sieur de la Verendrye. It is known that Francois Jerome made many such journeys west, and each time returned to his home in Montreal, Quebec. He was at Fort Bourbon the winter of 1749-1750, as substantiated by a letter he sent to John Newton at York Factory. The letter can be found in the Hudson Bay Company archives. Francois married Marie Ann Beauliew in 1766. Before this marriage, however, Francois had a son named Pierre, who was born about 1740, probably in the Montreal-Three Rivers area of Quebec. Pierre moved westward from the Montreal area in 1769. This is documented by a Canadian Archives copy of Pierre's license to move west. The license was issued in 1769 by the Bishop of Montreal as authorized by the King of France. Pierre spoke French, English, and the Cree native language very well and served as the Cree interpreter for the Old Northwest Company at Fort Carlton, in what is now present day Saskatchewan. (The Hudson Bay Company and the Old Northwest Company combined in 1821 to form one company). Many of the Frenchmen who moved westward took Indian women into their home for companionship. Pierre had a Chippewa-Cree woman named Virginia as part of his household. Records cannot be found, but it was said that there are four children born to Virginia - two boys and two girls. Pierre did not claim Virginia as his wife nor did he claim the children. However, the children assumed the Jerome name as they grew older. Pierre Jerome died November 28,1821, at Fort Carlton, as shown by entries in Post Factor, J.P. Pruden's records and ledgers that are now in the Hudson Bay Company archives at Beaver House, in London, England. Martin Jerome was born in 1799. As best as can be determined, Martin was the son of Pierre Jerome and the Cree-Chippewa Indian woman named Virginia. Martin, like his father, was an interpreter. He was often called "Martin Jerome, Offspring of St. Matthe." In the Michif language, this was spoken as "Jerome, Lip Chee St. Matthe." "Lip Chee" is perhaps a corruption of the French work "petite" meaning "little." Martin's place of birth is established as Rupert's Land, in the Hudson Bay Territory, most likely at Fort Carlton, Saskatchewan. Martin Jerome, Lip Chee St. Matthe, left the Fort Carlton-Saskatchewan River area shortly after his father, Pierre's death. He moved to Fort Garry, in what is now present day Winnipeg, Manitoba. There he married Angeline Letendre. Martin was a guide and a hunter and participated in the great buffalo hunts that took place twice annually. He lived a semi-nomadic life as did the other Metis during that period, and he also had a Red River farm lot. He is listed in the Red River 1828 and 1849 censuses of the District of Assiniboia. Martin had a large family of fifteen children ~ 10 boys, and five girls. Martin's first wife, Angeline Letendre, died quite young shortly after the first four children were born. Martin then married Elizabeth (Betsy) Wilkie, and they had 11 children. Elizabeth Wilkie's parents were John Batiste Wilkie and Mezhakamayhkijikok. She was the sister of Augustine Wilkie, who was often elected the buffalo hunting chief, and led the many buffalo hunts from 1810 through 1850. Some of Elizabeth Wilkie's ancestery include Norbexass, Flatmouth, 385 Scanned with a Zeutschel Zeta book scanner at 300 dpi. Edited with Multi-Page TIFF Editor. |
