Summary:
"The
murder
of the
Emoneau
(
Eminaud
)
family
in 1791 has fascinated genealogists and amateur historians for decades. The
Emoneau
deaths of 1791 at the hands of two Boutilier brothers were the first murders in Lunenburg since the community had been settled in 1753. The nature of the murders and the
trial
have been viewed as controversial since evidence to convict the Boutilier brothers was largely circumstantial and scant at best. Interestingly, the lawyer for the Crown published the transcript of the
trial
in 1791, but the
trial
faded from memory until 1895 when historian and judge Mather Byles DesBrisay published the History of the County of Lunenburg in which he devoted five pages summarizing the unfortunate events of March 1791. This summary of the
murder
and
trial
revived interest in the murders that persists into the 21st century. Historian and genealogist Dr. Kenneth S. Paulsen has taken the 1791 transcript and annotated it to provide background information on everyone involved in the
trial
from the judge to the jury and witnesses. The participants in the
trial
represent a cross section of Lunenburg's multicultural settlement. Additionally, an introduction provides context on the
Emoneau
family
.
Genealogies
of the
Emoneau
and Boutilier
families
complete the book. Dr. Paulsen's interest in the murders and
trial
is more than an historical curiosity as he is a direct descendant of murdered Emoneaus as well as a sibling of the murderers. A native of Massachusetts, Kenneth S. Paulsen holds a doctorate in Canadian History from the University of Maine at Orono, with two Bachelors of Arts degrees from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and a Master of Arts degree from Northeastern University in Boston"--Provided by publisher.
