Notes

Tetrault

"Tetrault" or "Tetreault" seems to be most correct, taking it to be a French name and is also given as Tatro (clearly an Americanized spelling based upon the sound of the name). So, spell it more like "Tetrault", but say it more like "Tatro". (Not perfect, but close.) Mary has been extremely difficult and we have more speculative sources than reliable ones. A "Tathro" has also been noted and is not altogether unlikely to be related.

Saundersville

Saundersville is a village within the town of Grafton, Massachusetts. Notably, there was also a Saundersville, Rhode Island disincorporated via eminent domain in 1915 to make way for some project for the public's benefit.

Records on rootsweb indicate a Paul and Jane (Wagner) Tathro living in Grafton, Massachusetts shortly before 1850. They would seem likely candidates for the parents of our Jacob Tetrault. See:

1900 U.S. Census, Southbridge, North of River, Worcester County, Massachusetts: Page 33; Tatro(Tatrault) family listed with a daughter, Marion, of about the right age. (Born abt. 1891, The census taker seems to have mostly corrected the spelling after initially writing in "Tatro". There is a previous "Tatro" family on p. 9 and all further listings use a more proper spelling.); 7 individuals in the family. Father's name is "Philipp".; Should go back and get more information if any further information becomes useful. I used FamilySearch Record Search (free resource) to find the image of this record.
