Haven't got the time right now, but took a quick look. The Jacob you are trying to read is Jacob Sadler. His occupation is J[us]t[e]tuleur? The word after declare which you are having trouble with is, I think, "pied". The next sticking point is "de Francaise [Adl?] decedes a Boulay". So Frances/Francoise [?] who died as Boulay? Also you left out of your translation the age of Claude Schmitt as 74 years. age de soixante quatorze Then you have this "et décédé avous hui" which should be this "et décédé aujourd'hui" -> died yesterday. And this: "a deux heures du matin sans la maison" -> "a deux heures du matin dans la maison" i.e. "at home" not "without a home". Which you gave the right translation for despite having the wrong word. Sorry for the butchering of the French by omitting the proper accents, in places.

The man writing is a state not status I read it as dans sa maison (in his home) not sans maison which would be without home. I think the surname of the mother is deFrancaise and the first name is omitted (or too white to read in the crease I think the word after deFrancaise is similar to our word for both (so both parents died in the same town) Died today, not yesterday JS -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2011 2:15 PM To: Laura Aanenson; [email protected] Subject: Re: [A-L] Help with an 1814 death record please Haven't got the time right now, but took a quick look.
