Surnames: Boyer, DeRousse Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WMB.2ACE/4892 Message Board Post: I'm looking for birth information on Joseph Clinton Boyer. His date of birth was 12 Sept. 1820. The obit stated St Louis MO. I have no parents or siblings. Also from the obit: he married Mary Louise De Rousse (many different spelling) in 1847 in St Louise MO. Mary Louise was born Feb. 17 1822 in Prairie Du Rocher, Randolph Co. IL. Both died in Decatur Co. IA. I know Mary was Catholic. Any information would help. This is a VERY TALL brick wall.
