Although born in what was then the Pembina Territory of the USA, he was married in the Parish of St Bonifcae, then part of the Red River Settlement, decades prior to the Confederation of various British Territories in North America to form Canada, reliable records of his / her early life are scattered and difficult to obtain and place names in the available records from the time are often difficult to map precisely to modern ones.

The parishes were the natural units of the Settlement, each with its church and school and its own communal life. That they should have formed the centres around which the administrative divisions of the new province were formed in and about 1870 was, therefore, inevitable.

In various records, the family name also appears as "Lecompte" and "Lagimonière"

Was granted title to the parcel of land near Lundar, RM of Coldwell, Manitoba, Canada, designated as "NW-28-19-05-W1" [near 50.664811, -98.105305] (Homestead #35986; Application Date: 1886/06/28; Grant date: 1890/08/11)

MB Death Registration #1891,002497 as "Benjamin Lagemodiere"; estimated age at death: 79 years (RM of St Laurent)
