Pierre Joseph "Peter" Beoudoin

1814 - Yes, date unknown

• Name	Pierre Joseph "Peter" Beoudoin  [1]
  Nickname	Peter
  Born	Feb 1814	Belgium   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Died	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	Alternate spellings BAUDUIN, BEAUDOIN, BODWIN. Jane Zimmerman writes that her Uncle Leonard always said that Emma Ella Benkelman, the daughter-in-law of Peter Bodwin, was the one who changed the spelling of the Bodwin name, most likely in an attempt to Americanize it. As a primary school teacher, she probably simplified Beaudoin to Bodwin to reflect the phonetic pronunciation. The maiden name of his wife may be Catherine Nouvellfosse, but this is not yet proven.
