“Yes, that the picture of the Soquet Farm House that I have too the one eaten up by mold. The house burned down in 1938 and my Grandfather had a new one built. I have pictures of the new farmhouse but a lot of their property was destroyed in the fire. The farm is in the city of Green Bay now but back when the picture was taken it was in the Township of Preble. That was the Soquet’s second farm the first one was in Robinsonville on the lower Door County Peninsula. That was where Josephine Soquet was born and maybe your Great Grandmother also. I believe that first Soquet farm was destroyed by fire in 1859 and they purchased the Preble farm to replace it that just a guess on my part I know that their father Jean Philippe Soquet held the land patent for a section in Robinsonville and that the Peshigo Fire destroyed that land in 1859 when it jumped the Bay (Green Bay). Robinsonville township is now Champion and the site of the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help. My father told me about his cousins coming down from Canada and visiting the family out at the old farm. The picture of the sisters was taken at Grandpa’s, Fred’s, town house that was the house he purchased after my Grandfather purchased the old Soquet Farm but his legal residence was at the house and farm he owned in the town of Scott it was about a Mile north of the old Soquet Farm. The first picture is at Fred and Jose’s Anniversary with their sons there is another picture with the daughters but I don’t have that one. The second photo is of the whole family in 1911 they are the people standing in front of the old Soquet farm.” – Henry Beno, May 2014

My Benoe family came from Belguim also. John J. Binon is the furthest back I can go. He and his wife were in Bellevue, Brown Wisc. in the 1860 US Census with 5 of their children. Francois bp-Belguim, Sibille bp-Belguim, Ferdinand bp-Wisc., Mary bp-Belguim, and Victor bp-Belguim (my direct line). The Binon name transformed to Beno, Benoe, Bino. I even found birth records of Ferdinand (I think he americanized his name to Fred) where Binon is crossed out and Bino and Beno is written above it. Just curious if we are linked and we can share info.
Yes, Louis Beno was my Great Grandfather’s brother. Louis Beno father was Jean Joseph Binon he settled in Brown County in 1857 and came from Longchamps Belgium .
From the 1860 census.
