FAMILY HISTORY
1700's
The Beginning
The Delauriers are a very old Canadian family having arrived sometime in the early-mid 1700's from Bourges, France. They came to escape the French Revolution because they were nobility.
The Revolution wasn’t until 1789, but one of the earliest records that were found was of Francis Delaurier as having married in Montreal in 1748. He went up river to Detroit and was married there. His son (also named Francis) had a son, Jean Baptiste. Jean Baptiste fought in the War of 1812 and was given a pension by the American government for fighting in the War of 1812 and received a land grant and purchased property across the river in Maidstone, Ontario.

Maidstone (township) was a township in Essex County in Ontario, Canada, from the Canadian Confederation in 1867 until 1999.
