Constant Pernot ~~ (1848) Julienne (Mary Julia) Muniere (1848)
Constant Pernot owed his allegiance to the Emperor of the French. He was married on February 9, 1848 to Juliene (Mary Julia) Muniere, born 1822 to Thomas Muniere and Mary Hugenard Muniere. Constant served in the French army for three months, but France being at peace and him a married man, he was released from service. Their children were:
- Mary Constance, born November 9, 1847
- Francis, born July 27, 1848
- Robert, born in 1850 (deceased)
- Marcelin, born November 19, 1851 (died February 5, 1926 - 18 miles north of Lewistown, Montana)
- Pierre (Peter), born March 1, 1858
- Muriel (?)
- Rosalie (Rosa) Marie, June 12, 1859 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. (Rosa would marry Louis Ressouches August 7, 1863 in Apraphaoe County, Colorado, United States of America.)
- Julia, born October 8, 1863.
Along with numerous other French emigrants, they took land in a very sparcely settled, untamed wilderness in Jefferson Township, Allen County, Indiana.
Constant moved his family to Jackson Township in 1859. The early history of Jackson Township was one of hardship, with "condemned swamplands," and was referred to as "a howling wilderness."
Hardiness and endurance were required to survive. The population in 1880 was scacely 300 and increased very little in the next decade. Constant was assessor of Jackson Township, Indiana for twenty four years.
Constant and 'Mary' Pernot were members of the St. Louis Catholic church in Jefferson township.
