3. Louis
4. Francis

EXCERPT BELOW FROM BOOK "HISTORY OF CHAZY, NY." (1970)
NOTE: This book erroneously identifies Julian's wife as Margaret Patra. The Margaret Belonga buried here is identified in her marriage record, which she submitted as evidence in order to collect her husband Julian's Revolutionary War Pension.
"JULIAN BELANGER may have settled in Chazy a few years before the Revolution – perhaps as early as 1773. In her pension application, dated January 1-5, 1833, his widow stated that he died in Chazy on October 11th 1831, having resided in the town of Chazy about 53 years; it is not likely that he lived here between 1776 and 1783, but he may have settled here before 1776 and retreated that year with La Framboise and Monty. He seems to have remained with the Revolutionary army throughout the war and probably returned with the Refugees between 1783 and 1787, when he was among the inhabitants of the Canadian Settlement with a family of two. He came here from Albany and settled on the lake shore near Wool's Point in lot 84 of Dean's Patent. A Canadian, he had been a private in Capt. Olivier's Company of Hazen's Regiment in "Congress's Own," service for which he was granted a pension of $8 a month from the United States Government in 1818 and for which he drew lot 79 of 80 acres and lot 209 of 420 acres in the Refugee Tract. On November 10th 1789, Julian Belanger, his mark, as a Refugee gave a power of attorney to Benjamin Mooers. He died in Chazy on October 11th 1831. He married Margaret Patra and brought her with him to Chazy. They purchased 1 ¾ acres in lot 84 Dean's Patent on the west side of the Lake Shore Road at Monty Bay; after his death the property was sold to George Lesley to pay a debt. His widow died on September 20 1842, aged 70 years. Their children were: John*, Julian*, Louis*, Francis*, Bruen*, Mitchell*, Sophia* who married – Lezott, Susan* who married – Maurier?, and Mary* who married Isaac Abare. From Julian Belanger, Sr., descend nearly all the Baker families of Chazy.
* The widow and these nine children signed the deed transferring their home to George Lesley."
