    • Leon Benoist's burial record gives his parents' names as Henry Benoist and Mary Barteau, but this appears to be the names of his brother and wife. Other primary and secondary records clearly show his parents as Michael Benoist and Julie DuVerger.

      Some sources give Leon Benoist's birth year as 1866, but his baptism record shows that he was actually born in 1864.
