Additional Comments:
Born 1785, Josephine Anse was a member of the Chippewa Tribe.  Her first 
husband was Louis Babbeau, a Hudson Bay fur trapper, who settled here in about 
1810 and was awarded Private Claim No. 11 in St. Ignace.  There were two 
children:  Mary Babbeau, who married Isaac Blanchard, and Joseph Babbeau.  
They inherited the Babbeau claim.  Josephine was married a second time to Jean 
B. LaJeunnesse.  Her Indian name was Mis-An-Jean-Grous.
