The great-great-great-grandfather was Michel Hache (also known as Hache-Gal- lant), who married Ann Cormier , probably in Nova Scotia , and afterward came to Prince Edward Island and settled at La Joie (now Charlottetown). The subject's mother was a daughter of Francois and Agnes (Arsenault) Gaudet and granddaugh¬ ter of Joseph Gaudet , also called Jos Cha- culot, who married Agnes Arsenault . The latter was a daughter of Joseph Arsenault , also called Joe League and Off, meaning a league and a half, the name being derived from the fact that where he once lived, an Englishman asked him one day the distance to a certain place; he answered "A league and off," meaning a league and a half, hence the name Joe League and Off. Jos Chaculot was a son of Augustin Gaudet and married Blanche Bourque . The latter had a sister, Rose, who married Cyprien Arsenault , grandfather of the late Senator Arsenault , of Abrams Village .
