In a "Clerk's Certified Copy of Death Record" of [Maria] Jane [Beamish]
Taschereau issued in 1971 and included in Henry Ross Wiggs' Family Record,
Taschereau is misspelled "Tachereau". I am not including that exhibit here.
I am, however, including the following four exhibits to show some of his source
material.
BEAMISH
The surname Beamish is of French origin, being derived from the place-name Beaumais (sur Dive). In Ireland is is not in the Anglo-Norman category, as that might suggest, nor is it Cromwellian as has been sometimes stated. The Family has been in Ireland since Elizabethan times, when the first of that name came from England to Co. Kerry, and has since been closely identified with that county and with Co. Cork. If, as seems probable, all Irish Blemish's spring from that source it presents an example of a family which not only prospered but also multiplied in the course of the four centuries it has been here.
The leading landed families were seated in Co. Kerry; the several branches are fully described in Burke's "Landed Gentry of Ireland" (1912 and 1958 editions).

TASCHEREAU, GABRIEL ELZEAR (1745-1809), legislative councillor of Lower Canada, was born at Quebec on 27 March, 1745, the son of Thomas-Jacques Taschereau, a member of the Superior Council of New France, and Marie-Claire Fleury de la Gorgendiere. He remained in Canada after the conquest, and took part in the defence of Quebec against the Americans in 1775. In 1777 he was appointed a judge of the court of common pleas for Montreal, but resigned soon afterwards. From 1792 to 1796 he represented the county of Dorchester in the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada; and in 1798 he was appointed to the Legislative Council. From 1794 to 1802 he was "grand voyer" of the District of Quebec, and in 1802 he was appointed deputy postmaster-general of the province, in succession to Hugh Finley (q.v.). He died at his manor house at Ste. Marie de la Beauce on 8 September, 1809. He was twice married (1) in 1773 to Marie-Louise-Elizabeth Bazin (d. 1783), by whom he had eight children, and (2) in 1789 to Louise-Francoise Juchereau Duchesney (d. 1841), by whom he had three children.
TASCHEREAU, ANTOINE CHARLES (1797-1962), politician, was born at Quebec on 26 October, 1797, the son of the Hon. Gabriel Elzear Taschereau (q.v.) and his second wife, Louise-Francoise Juchereau Duchesney. He represented Beauce in the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada from 1830 to 1838; and in 1834, as chairman of the select committee appointed to report on the state of the province, he presented in the House the famous Ninety-two Resolutions. From 1841 to 1844 he represented Dorchester in the Legislative Assembly of united Canada. In 1849 he was appointed collector of customs at Quebec. He died at Deschambault, Lower Canada, on 11 June 1862. In 1819 he married Adelaide Elizabeth, daughter of Louis Fleury de la Gorgendiere, seignior of Deschambault, and by her had twelve children. (One of them was the Hon. Fleury Taschereau who married Maria Jane (Beamish) Ross about 1858.)
TASCHEREAU, ELZEAR ALEXANDRE (1820-1898), cardinal archbishop of Quebec, was born at Ste. Marie de la Beauce, Lower Canada, on 17 February, 1820, the son of the Hon. Jean Thomas Taschereau (q.v.) and Marie, daughter of the Hon. Jean Antoine Panet (q.v.). He was educated at the Quebec Seminary, and was ordained a priest of the Roman Catholic church in 1842. For nearly thirty years he was connected with the Quebec Seminary, first as a professor, then as a director, and finally as superior. In 1862 he was chosen as vicar-general of the diocese of Quebec, and in 1871 he was consecrated sixteenth bishop and sixth archbishop of Quebec. In 1886 he was created a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, being the first Canadian to attain this honour. He retired from the administration of his diocese in 1894; and died at Quebec on 12 April, 1898.

The following is a transcript of a newspaper clipping from the area of Pembina, Dakota Territory, shortly after the funeral of [Adelaide] Jane Taschereau, who died 11 March 1886. Mr. Wiggs placed this exhibit later in his manuscript, but I am placing it here with chart T-1, where her information is given.
LAST SAD RITES
Funeral of the late Miss Taschereau, of Pembina, D. T.
All that was mortal of this much esteemed young lady was consigned to its last resting place in the Pembina cemetery, on Friday afternoon 13th., inst. The mourning cortege was exceedingly large, representatives of all creeds in the community were present. The service was most solemn and impressive. The sacred edifice was filled with the deceased young lady's friends and acquaintances. Rev. Mr. Fortin, of Emerson, officiated. The musical portion of the service was very appropriate. Miss Adelaide Jane Taschereau is a daughter of Fleurie Taschereau, Esq., of Pembina, and grand daughter of the late Colonel A. C. Taschereau, of Quebec; she is also closely allied to Dr. Taschereau, Judge Taschereau, Major Taschereau and Archbishop Taschereau, also of Quebec, where she was born.
She will be sincerely mourned by a large number of friends. She leaves a father, mother, sisters and brothers to regret her loss.
GONE TO HER RESTG. H. M.
Gone to her rest--young and so fair--
Gone to her rest, in the Savior's care;
Passed from trials of earth away,
Gone to rejoice in endless day--
A life exchanged for treasures rare--
Joys celestial await her there.
Fond lips have kissed the pallid brow,
Fond hearts are aching, breaking now
With wound that only God can heal,
With grief that only those can feel
Who've looked upon some cherished face
And traced the signs of Death's embrace.
Why do the living weep and mourn?
On wings of light her spirit's borne
To pearly gates that open wide--
An angel guarding either side--
And, waiting there, an angel band
Reach down to grasp her out-stretched hand.
And, looking up, she sees the light
Of angel faces, shining bright!
And, hark! there sounds a heavenly strain,
A joyous welcome, glad refrain;
Her spirit, decked with heavenly charms,
Is nestled in her Father's arms.
G.H.M. must have been well known in 1886, but I do not, in 2011, know who that might be without further research.
