The first 3 names on the passenger list were the Favrets, John Brulport and family and Etienne Gillot,Jeanne Francois Gillot's younger brother,and family.Marie Favret later m. Phillip of the Brulport family.The original immigration documents are sealed as advised by Ohio Historical Archivist and in a fire proof file in our basement. Joseph brought his family to Ohio - why, how we do not know but we do know it had to be with great difficulty. Rosselot's were in the area before the Favret's and Brulport's arrived. Possibly some one from their area of France. The Favret's settled in or around Stonelick, a small community near Owensville. St Philomenia Church was and is there. St Louis Church at New Boston (Owensville) was organized by Rev Jos. Staley. The membership was 200 all of whom had belonged to St. Phil..We believe Joseph and Jeanne Francois are buried at the Cem. of St. Phil.. As of now I have not had any luck in trying to locate any of St. Phil.'s records. We've walked the Cem. but do not find any stones that ancient.

Joseph was 5-feet 4-inches tall; had Bl.redish hair; had gray eyes.
