This is from the Lorrain plot at Michigan Memorial Park in Flat Rock, Michigan, near Bernadine Laurain's grave, my 2nd cousin 2x removed. Photo courtesy of Stoneseeker23 at Findagrave.com |
Joseph Lorrain (1757-1805) married Mary Louisa Dagenais, came to Wayne County, Michigan from Montreal, Canada in 1783. Purchased 140 acres on the River Rouge near what is now General George Patton Park.
Joseph and Mary Lorrain are the progenitors of the Laurain and Laura families of Wayne County, Michigan who gathered at Michigan Memorial Park on April 18, 1956. 199 years after the birth of Joseph Lorrain to commemorate his memory and receive this Memorial in his behalf.
