John Rodney and Marguerite LaBombarde were married on 18 Oct 1864 at St Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Champlain, New York. Married by George Jeannotte, Priest; witnesses were J. LaBombarde & N. Langevin.
It was very common for many people to Americanize their name as they immigrated to America as I believe was the case of John Rodney since the name listed on their marriage record is J.B. Dufresne which I assume is Jean Baptiste Dufresne. The name John Rodney is not found in any census or other records prior to 1860 which included the Stanbridge Station, Quebec, Canada censuses. Standbridge Sation is listed as John's birth place in his Civil War Records. Also searched with the surnames Dufresne dit Dufrene Dufrine and every variation of that surname. I found this to be the case of his brother, Louis Rodney, as well.
