I had no death cerificate, but there was a note that he had served in the Civil War. Since some of his children were minors, his widow undoubtedly filed a claim with the government for aid for the dependent children of former Civil War veterans. I have read a number of such claims and distinctly remember that often widows had to prove the death of the husband and give information about any dependent children. Have you ever sent for the pension records of Isaac Jennings held at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.? Maybe these records would show where Isaac was born, and then you could search the census for that place at a time when he would have been living with his parents?

SO, the glaring lapse of mental competency was my remark in the "note bene" portion of my post of April 25, 2009 wherein I said that Mary Ann Mehitamgokwe was the wife of J. B. Deroscher. Of course, that is WRONG, but the remainder seems to be correctly stated and typed. May I refer you to my post of October 5, 2001 entitled "Notes on Josette Wilmet". While rereading the 1843 Hoecken missionary trip in the fall, it occurs to me that Deroscher probably had more information for the Murphys regarding Caleb Greenwood that did Hoecken. Hoecken was certainly in a position to have heard about California, but Deroscher had been around Greenwood's neighborhood for all the time Caleb had resided there -- as had Mary Anna Mehitmgakwe. They easily could have known what Greenwood was thinking. I'll bet the scenario about the earlier considerations which enabled that famous 1844 wagon train to transverse the Great West would show Deroscher starring in the leading role. It was Caleb Greenwood who would guide the Stephens - Townsend - Murphy party to the Rocky Mountains. Have you given any thought about creating something to fill the void between the fall of 1843 and the spring of 1844? I bet you would be surprised with what you could come up with by using presuppositional thinking. Of course, you weren't there, but neither would be the person who nevertheless "knows" what happened when told that a particular child, whom he had not heard, had counted from one to ten. Your great great great grandfather should be elected as the one responsible to add his bit to the story of this country's western migration, which has been called one of the greatest phenomenon of the world! And as if that weren't enough, I still have not given up on the chance that the J. B. Deroscher who accompanied Fremont in the fall and winter of 1843 was not the same person as your great great great grandfather! Hoecken is the proof that your ancestor was in the same place (the Kansas City area) as Fremont had just passed through on his way to the Rocky Mountians. He could easily have left Hoecken and hurried to catch up with J.C.F. -- such things had been done before. Your list of children shows no births during this interval either, and, WHY NOT? I do not understand the use of the French "dit". However, when I study the personal social standing of the Frenchmen who appear to have lived around present Thurman, Iowa, I am amazed at what I see. The list begins to look like a WHO'S WHO. For instance, Anthony Bruno was undoubtedly Antoine Petit dit Bruno, descended from the royalty created by France at Maskinonge during the time that country held Canada. Nor can you ignore the Robideau name, nor Caleb Greenwood himself, whose son earlier on in the 1850's hobnobbed with the upper classes. Portions of Chicago is still known as Wilmet!....Have you ever tried to find "Frapp" when it was referring to the royalty of France?

I have sent for the civil war records for my Gr. Gr. Gr. Grandfather. He died very early in the war, 1862, at Rolla Missouri. His wife applied for widows pension and pension of minor children. I figured that he died so early there was probably a very small amount of information in the file. Wrong. The file is over 100 pages of information and statements. Although his parents were not mentioned nor that of any relatives so to speak other than his wife and children, it gave her maiden name, which we never had. It also gave the county, day and date in which they were married. Unfortunately all records for that county prior to 1880's are non existent having been burned twice, once in the 1860's and again in about 1882. However several people made statements as to witness of the marriage of the couple, and those who knew her to be Sarah Brown and that she married Thomas Morris 1844 in Taney Co. Missouri. It also contained a statement from the Widow of where she lived during her marriage and after her husband died. So it made tracking her possible. She also remarried and I confirmed that despite the family she married into denies their ancestor ever remarried. I have the proof of her marriage, and who she married other than the marriage license. I also have the date of her death. The children, my gr. Gr. Grandfather is now a confirmed child of Thomas and Sarah Morris and a daughter Amanda is also confirmed a daughter. The daughter had been arugued that she belonged to someone else and not this Morris. Some of the statements were from some of the neighbors that were present at the birth of the children, or visited after t he birth, knew the family and knew the civil war soldier before he went off to war. Regardless the file contained a wealth of information. Well worth the $75.00 it cost to get it. Nancy M. Boyd

I have proven in my research that JB Derrocher and JB Frapp are one in the same, why he uses the Derocher/Frapp back and forth is still a mystery. I know the Frapp is a dit name but why he goes back and forth is confusing. I am curious about this post of yours. In different references in the same post you have written different men married to the same women. You list JB Derocher and Maylor, eache married to Josette Wilmet and to Mary Ann Mehitamgokwe. What is correct? Was it a typo that you listed both men married to both women? I would appreciate your help. J.P.(B.) DEROCHER and wife Josette Wilmet Maylor Derocher and Josette Wilmet were sponsors MAYLOR DEROCHER and wife Marie Anna Mehitamgakwe J. B. Deroscher and Mary Ann Mekitamigokwe were sponsors For every baptism on September 11 - 14, J. B. Deroscher and wife Mary Ann Mehitamgokwe acted as sponsors! On September 15, Hoecken was at Fleury's who lived at The Narrows, and again the Derochers were sponsors. In fact, they were Hoecken's traveling companions for his entire return trip down to Kansas Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Volume 2, page 203.-- "In the month of June of this year (1855), I availed myself of the leisure of the long vacation to make a trip into the wild West, and accomplished a voyage through the whole extent of the Upper Canadian lakes, from Georgian Bay to Fond du Lac and the River St. Louis, at the extreme west point of Lake Superior. In this trip I had opportunities of observing the Red Indian in his native state, as well as of making observations which I had long desired to be able to do, on the half-breed Indians..... ".....In various districts of North America ancient sepulchral deposits of a peculiar kind are met with, containing heaps of human bones promiscuously mingled together. About the year 1837, one of these Indian ossuaries was accidentally discovered in the township of Beverley, Canada West. An elevated ridge, running from north to south, was covered by an old growth of full-grown beech trees, standing somewhat widely apart; and across this, and consequently running from east to west, a series of trenches were ucovered consisting almost entirely of human bones. These lay in immense numbers, of both sexes and of all ages, promiscuously heaped together, and interpersed with many Indian relics, which furnished the chief temptation to their exploration. These depositories of human bones are referred to by Dr. Schoolcraft in his "History, Condition, and Prospects of the Indians," as especially characteristic of the ancient period of occupancy of the upper lake regions, and are desc! ribed by him as consisting of "sepulchral trenches or ossuaries, in which the bones of entire villages would seem to have been carefully deposited, after the bodies had been previously scaffolded, or otherwise disposed of, till the fleshy parts were entirely dissipated, and nothing left but the osteological frame." In commenting on this Indian sepulchral rite, he further observes: " A custom of this kind may be supposed to intervene, in the history of nations, between that of burning the body,--which is still practised, we are told, among the Tacullies of British Oregon or New Caledonia,--and that of immediate interment, so generally practised. "On this question, however, I have obtained information leading to a different inference. On inquiring of Mr. Paul Kane, a Canadian artist, whose practical knowledge of Indian rites and customs is derived from the experience of years spent in travelling among the northern tribes as far as the shores of the Pacific, he informs me that in the above remarks the American ethnologist confounds the sepulchral rites of entirely distincty classes of Indian tribes. Among the Chippewas, Pottowatamays, the Menamonies, the Ottowas, and the Indians of the Six Nations, the practice prevailed of interring their dead in large sepulchral depositories. The bodies among the tribes still retaining this custom, are objects of sacred regard and reverential care during the intervening period between the first funeral rites and the final feast at the grave, which frequently extends over many months; but after the final honours and sacrifices have been offered to the deceased, he is believed to hav! e reached the spirit hunting-grounds, and then all care ceases, and the bones and offerings to the manes of the dead are sooner or later promiscuously gathered into the common ossuary. This custom fully accounts for the immense trenches filled with human bones intermingled with Indian relics. One of those opened at Beverley, and careflly explored, was found to measure forty feet in length with a breadth of eight feet; and throughout this entire area it consisted, to a depth of six feet, of a solid mass of human crania and bones.... "...other practices...constitute an entirely distinct and final sepulchral rite....who deposit the corpse on a scaffold or raised platform above ground.....These Indian biers are regarded as the final resting places of the dead....."--By DANIEL WILSON, LL.D., Hon. M.S.A, Scot. N.B.: Wasn't it Reverend Todd who claimed the burials of Pottawatomie at Indiantown were in graves, in the ground? I am thinking about Waubonsie, who it was claimed was buried on a scaffold in a large tree?--W.F. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
