Elie (10 Jun 1821-????)
Abraham was born on Prince Edward Island, reportedly at Mont-Carmel. His mother was Madeleine Haché dit Gallant from Prince Edward Island. His father was probably Jean-Baptiste Arsenault from Beaubassin, Nova Scotia, although some accounts seem to think it was Jean-Baptiste dit Chaculot Arsenault (~1736-15 Jan 1800) from Malpèque, Prince Edward Island.
Marguerite came from Malpèque. Her parents were Joseph dit Jos Magitte Arsenault and Marie-Jeanne Bourgeois.
They married about 1794, and settled in Abram’s Village. Their sons Moïse and Elie were baptized at St. Philippe & St. Jacques, Egmont Bay.
Marguerite reportedly died in 1821. Accounts place Abraham’s death anywhere between 1820 and 1838.
The family name is also written as Arceneau and Arseneaux, and probably derived from “arsenal”, referring to a site of military manufacture or storage.
Joseph married Anne-Marie Arsenault (Dec 1803-18 Oct 1881) from Cocagne, Kent County, New Brunswick on 9 Feb 1820. She was a sister of the Victoire Arsenault who married Raphael Caissie, if that helps. They lived in western Prince Edward Island. Children:
Marcelline (~1821-????) — m. Armand Gallant on 6 Nov 1839
Marguerite (3 Sep 1823-9 May 1865) — m. Joseph dit Postman Arsenault on 14 Oct 1845

Jean-Joseph (11 Jun 1834-191x) — m. Thérese Arsenault on 14 Oct 1856
Justine (~1840-????) — m. Laurent Arsenault on 12 Oct 1863
In the 1881 census, Marie, widowed, was living with son Jean-Joseph and his family.
Joachim married Marie Vatour (1803-16 Jan 1889) on 30 Sep 1822 in Richibuctou Village, Kent County, New Brunswick. Known children:
Marguerite (20 May 1824-????)
Joseph (15 Jun 1826-189x) — m. Marie Arsenault on 30 Oct 1849; m. Madeleine ??? in 187x
Francois Xavier (7 Feb 1829-19xx) — m. Domitilde Bernard on 3 Nov 1853; m. Pélagie LeBlanc on 26 Aug 1868
Maxime (17 Oct 1830-191x) — m. Genevieve Arsenault on 27 Nov 1860
Talin (11 Jan 1833-10 Nov 1906) — m. Sophie Arsenault on 14 Oct 1856
Judith (2 Feb 1835-1927) — poss. m. ??? Arsenault
Sophie (~1840-????)
Philias (Feb 1843-19xx) — m. Sophie Pitre about 1860; m. Marie Arsenault in 188x
Marie Elizabeth (1848-????)
Joachim died in Egmont Bay, Prince, Prince Edward Island in 1892, three years after Marie.
Online records have two daughters named Judith for this family, because Judith wasn’t consistent about her age from one census to the next. Sophie born ~1840 might have been a daughter-in-law, not a daughter.
Maxime married Modeste Barriault (1818-5 Dec 1902) from Kent, Carleton, New Brunswick on 19 Sep 1836 on Prince Edward Island. Their children were baptized in Egmont Bay:
Marguerite (2 Sep 1837-????) — m. Jean Richard on 21 Nov 1882
Isabelle (15 Mar 1839-29 Dec 1926) — m. Joseph Vincent Aucoin about 1860
Sylvain (3 Oct 1841-????) — m. Phoebe Desroches about 1875
Louis Gonzague (10 Mar 1843-19xx) — m. Philomene Arsenaux on 25 Jan 1870
Julie (20 Apr 1846-18 Mar 1924) — m. Félix Pitre
Luce (11 Dec 1848-????)
Maxime (15 Oct 1854-????)
Marie Magdeleine (3 Apr 1856-????) — m. Pierre Pitre on 30 Jan 1879
Maxime reportedly married Isabelle Poirier (1802-Jan 1886), but when? Suspect this is confusion with some other Maxime. He reportedly died in 1868. Modeste lived until 1902, and is buried in St. Jacques Cemetery, Egmont Bay.
Madeleine married Lamand Gaudet (~1802-????) on 28 Jan 1829 on Prince Edward Island. There’s a record of one child:
Magdeleine Francoise (1835-????)
That’s all.
Jean married Marie Caissie (~1809-23 Nov 1869) on 19 Nov 1832. Children:
Domitile (18 Nov 1833-14 Apr 1871)
Gertrude (~1835-16 Feb 1903) — m. Ambroise Gallant on 29 Sep 1857
Suzanne (18 Nov 1837-29 May 1917) — m. Dominique Arsenault about 1863
Placide (2 Dec 1839-????) — prob. died young
Victoire (18 Sep 1841-????)
Eulalie (24 Sep 1845-1 Mar 1925) — m. Fidele Arsenault on 23 Nov 1869
Placide (10 Sep 1847-189x) — m. Julie Arseneau on 19 Nov 1872
Jean Baptiste (9 Nov 1849-????)
Marie died in 1869. In the 1881 census for Egmont Bay, Jean was living with the family of his daughter Suzanne, and next door to probable son Placide. In the 1891 census, he was still with Suzanne. He reportedly died in 1896.
No information. Probably just Joseph Maxime Arsenault with a different year of birth.

Moïse has his own entry in the family tree.
Marguerite married Fidele Gallant (~1812-????) in 1835. Their children:
Maxime (12 Dec 1836-????) — m. Judith Poirier on 19 Jan 1859
Narcisse (1838-19xx) — m. Marie Gallant
Marguerite (11 Jun 1842-9 Jan 1929) — m. Aime Arseneau on 30 Oct 1865
Louise (3 Sep 1843-????) — m. Anatole Gallant
Emerance dite Emerande (23 Jun 1845-191x) — m. Francois Gallant on 25 Oct 1870
Anselme (4 Feb 1848-19xx) — m. Mary Gaudet on 25 Feb 1873
Marie Rose (16 Sep 1850-16 Feb 1892) — m. Jerome Arsenault on 5 Nov 1872
Anne (20 Apr 1852-????)
Adeline (28 Sep 1854-1929) — m. Jerome P. “Gerald” Deroches
Joseph (1856-????)
The 1881 census showed Marguerite and Fidele still in western Prince Edward Island, with just son Joseph still at home. Marguerite and Fidele were still there in 1891, with two much younger Gallants named Jean and Marie – probably a grandson and his wife. Dates of death are unknown.
At least one of their children, Adeline, settled in Rumford, Maine.
Don’t know about Elie. He had a slightly younger nephew with whom I had him confused.
