Notes:

DOB: Lippe pg 422 & Maine Birth Record that has no first name
1900 Census has Sawyer
1910 Census has John
1920 Census has George D.
Its possible this is John Dewey Violette, his military records show he was born in Fort Fairfield on 11 Jan 1900 and his death certificate incorrectly has his father John D. Violette as born in Montreal.
John Dewey Violette's WWII Draft Card has date of birth as 11 Jan 1899, in Fort Fairfield, Maine.
A review of the Fort Fairfield 1900 census found only one other Violette family and they didn't have a child named John. So the evidence points to this being John Dewey Violette RIN 67664

Notes:

Lippe pg 422
DOB: 1900 Census
The 1900 Census says his parents were born in France, I find this very doubtful. This census is riddled with mistakes, such as birth dates of the children which has been corrected by birth certificates, and wife Amanda's place of birth which was Baker Lake, Canada.

His first child's record of birth has Elodie (Maquis) Violette RIN 2270 vouching for his birth on the birth record so I suspect she is related. Elodie was married to Desire Violette RIN 2059 who's father is Jean Desire Violette RIN 1517. Jean is often pronounced John. All this points to Jean Desire Violette RIN 1517 as a possible father, but proof needs to be found to confirm this.
