The 1870 US Census for Mobile listed him as "Andr. Pierrot," I don't know why. His name indeed was "Anton" (on his immigration papers) or "Anthony," as you found and on his application for naturalization (in Polk County, Texas). Perhaps the enumerator made a mistake. I'm very much of two minds on whether to try to get a copy of the death certificate from Mobile County. Most early death records listed very little useful to the genealogist. We already know where and when he died. Have you any experience that might guide me?
