John "Johnny" Thomas Bruguier

  General Notes:

following taken from the oyate research center website:

All of this information is from the Ft.Peck Indian Census...
This is a follow up to Johnny Bruguier's married with children.

He was married to Josephine and had 3 daughters as of the 1895 Census:

Lulu - 14 years
Julia - 6
Ethel Blaine - 16 (is she Johnnie's 1st daughter or stepdaughter?)

After he was killed in 1898 Lulu and Julia are living with Johnnie's brother William. Fannie (Buckles) is listed as a sister.
On the 1899 Census she's listed as a niece.

Around 1900 Johnnie's daughter Lulu is married to a Charles Knorr.
On the 1904 Census she has two children:
Joseph - 5 years
Charles - 4

Below their names is Julia Bruguier - 18 years.

On the 1932 Census Julia is married to Albert S. Lone Warrior.
They have a daughter named Violet - 9 months old
Julia is using her maiden name, Julia Bruguier.

Dean and Family,

Thank You for the recent emails and the conformation of your ancestor Johnnie "Big Leggins" Bruguier..

I haven't found anything on Ethel Blaine yet.

William Bruguier in 1888 Census he's married to Jennie - 27 years old. They have a son, Lewis - 2.
1899 he's still married to Jennie but no child is listed - probably died.
No more on him.

1891 William is married to Red String (Inkan Duta) 30 years old.
Could she and Jennie be the same woman for the ages are correct.

1895 William is married to Lydia (Lida) 20 years old.
1896 William is taking care of Fannie Buckles. If she was Johnnie's daughter she'd still be with him at that time 1896.

1898 William is taking care of Julia and Lulu - Johnnie's two daughters.

1899 - same

1908 William and Lida adopt Nellie - 6 years and Fred Ackman - 3 years (orphans)

Also on the 1892 Census there is a Batiste Bruguier who is 47 years with three children.
Do not know who this Bruguier is.
Does anyone know who he is???

Hope this helps to fill in some blanks.

John married Good Chief Josephine Woman, daughter of Living and Living. (Good Chief Josephine Woman was born in 1863 in Poplar, Montana Roosevelt County and died on 2 Jul 1902 in Poplar, Montana Roosevelt County.)
