From the research of Nancy Curry:
Charbonneau/Colby
From the Index to Deaths in Holyoke,MA
Adaline Colby (nee Adaline Geoffrion/Gosselin) was Clifford (Cleophas) Charbonneau/Colby's 1st wife d. 1869
In 1870 The same Cleophas (Clifford) m. Marie (aka Mary) Claire Plante (Dufresne, b. 1839, and Du Frene are noted as maiden name) She was the widow of Louis Plante. Her parents were Pollet and Marie Dufresne. Taken from film # 6019009 Family History Center (Mormon records). Clifford's parents were Jean and Charlotte (other sources give Jean Baptiste Charbonneau as Cliffords parents). (I don't know if you remember, but Jean Baptiste Charbonneau was the name of Sacajewea's son. I think that's the wrong spelling, but you know who I mean - interesting).
Adaline and Clifford had a child, Azilla Colby (I have the death cert), who died July 22, 1865, in Holyoke. She was 5 months old.
I also have Adaline's death cert. which gives her death as Sept. 1, 1869. She was 37 years, and died of lung fever. Her name was listed as Adaline Jefferson, which I think is a variation of Gioffrion Colby.
(There was also a Father Dufresne, who was the priest at the Parish of the Precious Blood, Holyoke, MA before it burned down, taking many lives)
I have The marriage cert. for Clifford Colby (previously Charbonneau, of course) and Clair Dufrine (spelling botched up pretty much) He was 42 years, and she, 31 yrs. It was, as I said a second marriage for both. On that cert. it lists his occupation as carpenter, birthplace, Canada, father's name, John, and mother, Charlotte Patnaude. The bride's parents listed this time as Pollih, and Mary Dufrine. (The change in spellings can drive me crazy, I think).
In 1870 we find Clifford Colby and family - second wife Marie Claire, (also called just Claire). I have a copy of that census from Holyoke. Children are Joseph, aged 15; Frederick, 12; George 10, and Rosa 2 yrs.
In 1872 I find in the Holyoke Birth Register Chloe Colby, dau. Of Clifford and Mary.
In 1873 the birth of Mary Colby, b. Jan. 10, 1873, also with parents Clifford and Mary.
In the 1880 Census for Holyoke I found Clifford and Mary D. Colby at ages 52 and 42, with Saledea P. Colby, aged 17.
The same census has Delia Colby, aged 16 (Both girls listed as born in Canada (?))
The next child was Rosa Colby, 12 yrs. B. MA
Other children of Clifford (Cleophas) and Adeline were:
Alfred, age 21, m. in May 15, 1879 to Delinda Samson, aged 20 Her parents were Hilaire and Emelie Collin(s)
And Allidias (Euqiue), (Colby), age 26, m. 17 Aug. 1886 to Elmina Samson, aged 22, with same parents as above. Her occupation was listed as operative..
