The Annotated Trial of George Frederick Boutelier and John Boutelier for the Murder of Frédéric Emoneau [Eminaud] and his family, with genealogies of the Emoneau and Boutelier families
The Emoneau Murders of 1791: Book by Kenneth Paulsen. The book is available for purchase from Global Heritage Press.
“The murder of the Emoneau (Eminaud) family in 1791 has fascinated genealogists and amateur historians for decades. The Emoneau deaths of 1791 at the hands of two Boutilier brothers were the first murders in Lunenburg since the community had been settled in 1753. The nature of the murders and the trial have been viewed as controversial since evidence to convict the Boutilier brothers was largely circumstantial and scant at best. Interestingly, the lawyer for the Crown published the transcript of the trial in 1791, but the trial faded from memory until 1895 when historian and judge Mather Byles DesBrisay published the History of the County of Lunenburg in which he devoted five pages summarizing the unfortunate events of March 1791. This summary of the murder and trial revived interest in the murders that persists into the 21st century.”
