I have his baptismal record but not his birth record. In fact, I can't find him in any state/ city birth records.... I have his death as 11 Sep 1883. I do have this record. His parents were Pedro [Pierre Dufouchard Verloin?] Degruy and Azelia [Marie Azelie Daspit de St. Amand] Now one of P. H.'s sister's name was Luisa Verloin [27 Feb 1827] That could easily have been Luisa Dufouchar Verloin DeGruy the way they coupled all of these names. I don't know who she married and if it's the same as the Lisa below... but she could have named her child after her brother. Or if the Lisa below was the daughter of Luisa Verloin then she could have named her child after her uncle. What do you think? R
