There is no doubt in my mind, based on the evidence, that these two men were brothers and I suspect they were sons of Noel Laroche. If anyone has further info, it would be appreciated.

Ambrose, 32, NY Emmeline, 24, NY ?Parley, 3, Mass Joseph, 1, NY

Many of the Laroches Anglicized their name to Stone and migrated to Massachusetts. Interesting that Ambroise Jr had been there for a brief period before more of the family permanently migrated.

1870 US Census - Champlain - p170 - ANTOINE LAROCHE

Antoine, 30 Adaline, 25 Frederick, 8 Charles, 6 Delia, 2 John, 5/12

Delphine was not listed, so may have died young although I did not see a death entry.

This next one is the other that I'm confident was a brother of Ambroise.

I could not find the family in the 1870 census under any variation. Did they migrate to Massachusetts?
