These pages are about my Family History, Genealogy, and Civil War ancestors. My Lucier ancestors, Charles Lucier (Lussier) and Ellen Labor (Hélène Labarre-Genest), emigrated from Saint Hyacinthe, Quebec, Canada, to Enosburg, Vermont around 1849. In 1854 the family moved to Medina, Ohio. In 1856 they moved back to Enosburg where they lived until the spring of 1860, at which time they moved permanently to Jay, Vermont. Visit the Index of Family Photograph Pages to view photographs of Charles, Ellen and family.

It appears that most of the Lucier's were farmers. Child's Gazetteer of Lamoille and Orleans Counties, 1883-1884 show Charles Lucier has a sugar orchard with 1000 trees, a dairy of 14 cows, breeds grade Jersey cattle and is a farmer with 200 acres. His sons are also listed: Gilbert being a town representative, lumberman and farmer with 50 acres, George L. a lumberman and farmer with 37 acres, and Charles Abraham a farmer with 25 acres.

My King ancestors are Clara Belle King Lucier, wife of Charles Abraham Lucier, daughter of William King and Mary Bombardier. William August King (Guillaume Augustin Roy) is the son of Charles King (Charles Jean-Baptiste Roy). Charles lived to be 107 years old. Visit the Index of Family Photograph Pages to view photographs of Charles, William and family. I have many photographs of unknown King family members. Please visit Unknown King Family Photographs - Adults and Unknown King Family Photographs - Children.
