Hi, No, that is not correct. Joseph ????? is the person who died. He would have been the son [s.] of Lewis A ????? & Maria. He was 9 months old when he died of consumption on August 14, 1846. In the next record, Lewis A ????? is the one who died. Unfortunately, it looks like no one knew the names of his parents. He was born in France, and died of consumption on March 19, 1847 at the age of 45.
