The Pernot - Muniere Connection

During the 1970's I began creating a family ancestry album. My intent was to feature each succeeding generation of the four families on Arthur F. and Mona [nee Leeson] Vanek's family tree: [Maternal ~ Muench and Leeson] [Paternal ~ Vanek and Gremaux]

 

Later on, I discovered after a couple of computer upgrades the programs I used to create the pages did not work in the newer computers.

 

Because the task of retyping all that I'd written would be enormous, I've decided to scan each page, save it as a picture, and post them here. I hope that in addition to seeing the portraits and photographs viewers will be able to enlarge the pages on their screen and read the stories. I'm starting with the eldest members and will subsequently add each generation that follows.

Pernot - Constant and Julienne

PERNOT

Jean Baptise Pernot was born 1790 in Bournois district, of which Besancon, France is the principal city. Jean married Frances. He died  1878.

 

Constant, was born to Jean and Frances, February 6, 1824 in Bournois (New Lille), France.

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.

Five years after their marriage, Constant and his family immigrated from Harre, France on September 5, 1853, and on October 9, 1854 foreswore his French allegiance to become a naturalized citizen of the United State of America in Allen County, Indiana.

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.
