there is information in here about Lucy Columbe.  The Columbe name appears with many spellings.  Lots of Columbes are buried at Redford and there are also some Colombes (which is often a separate family, but in the case of Redford I am not sure). 

Since I’m thinking Fourniers tonight the Fournier connection is that Lucy Columbe, mother of Frank Fournier of Chazy Lake is sister to Marie Columbe, mother of the wife of Xavier King of Chazy Lake.  So Frank and Xavier were not relatedand therefore Frank and Phebe were not related.  When Xavier’s sister (Phebe) married Frank they became brothers-in-law.  Then Frank and Xavier’s sons… Clifford and Howard… were first cousins because Sullivan King was their Grandfather; and second cousins because Joseph Columbe was  great grandfather to both Howard and Clifford .  .It is clear in a genealogical chart but difficult to see when written in words.

Today I added a different, and unrelated, Frank Fournier to my ancestry tree following Frank, son of David and Mary (mary died and David remarried Julia).  This Frank was born 1878 instead of 1869 and lived in West Chazy and Beekmantown instead of Chazy Lake.

This obit shows his first wife is Mary Emery and that Frank had a sister; David’s second wife was Julia Brothers and there were a number of children as listed.

Chances are this Frank is a distant relative of our Frank but they are not the same.
