"Dr. F. F. dusochet, father of T. E. Stone, was born in the city ofAngouleme, France, in 1778. He was a soldier under the first Napoleon,and volunteered to go with Gen. LeClerc to the West Indies to quell thenegro insurrection at Haiti. After eighteen months of great hardshuips,and the death of LeClerc from yellow fever, they were compelled tocapitulate to the English and return to France, and, after the defeat ofhis beloved emperor at Waterloo, he came to America. He went straight toChuillicothe, where he heard there was a chance for war with theIndians. He immediately volunteered to go with Gen. Brush to theassistance of Hull, who was threatened at Detroit. Before thwy wereready they heard of the surrender of Hull. Mitchell Dusouchet, father ofF. F. Dusouchet, was born in the city of Paris and lived through thehorrors of the reign of Robespierre. He was the father of twenty-twochildren - nineteen girls and three boys. F.F. Dusouchet was thetwenty-first child. None of the name are now in existance except the fewin America.
We next find Dr. Dusouchet on Gen. Harrison's staff, with whom hecontinued to serve until the close of the war. He went in company ofHarrison to Cincinnati and in 1815 was married to Miss Catherine Sarchet,in the presence of Gen. Harrison, Finly, and all the notables ofCincinnati. Miss Betwey Harrison was one of the bridesmaids. CatherineSarchet was born in the island of Guernsey, town of St. Peter's Port, in1790. Her father immigrated to America in 1806, and settled inCincinnati. She died in Spencer County, KY, February 21, 1881. PierreSarchet, father of Catherine, was born on the island of Guernsey aboutthe year 1865, of Huguenot parents. He become a Methodist minister ofthe old school, and endured all the persecutions of that much persecutedpeople. His wife, Elizabeth De La Parelle, was also a native of theisland, and a devout Methodist. The both died in Cambridge, Ohio, aboutthe year 1828, their deaths being near together. ..."

!NOTES:
See GARDINER, Vol II, Descendants of Patrick Dyer, pg 1:
"Patrick Dyer, parents unknown, was born in Maryland in 1680. H e died
September 14, 1724 in Piscataway, Prince George's County, Maryland . Inthat
county he married Comfort Barnes on October 12, 1702. Patrick Dyer i spre-
sumed to have been born in the Maryland Colony since there are no records of
him in the Early Settlers of Maryland by Gus Skordas which deals wit h the
migrants to the Maryland Colony between its inception and the year 16 80.
"There are two, possibly three Dyers who arrived before that year ,who could
be his father. All three appear to have been born in England. The y are:
Peter, who was transported in 1665; Roger, who arrived between 1675 a nd1680;
and Thomas, who migrated in 1664. I feel that the last one is most likely to
have been the father of Patrick, for the following reasons: Thomas migrated
without assistance, indicating that he was a person of some means, and
financially able to attract a wife from among a few women who were i ngreat
demand; his son, or presumably his son, Patrick, named a son Thomas ,which is
in the English tradition of naming children after their grandparents. ..."

RESEARCH:
Since Cornelius and Annie were married in St. Joseph's Catholic Churchin Newark, NJ, check church records for marriages of other children andof birth records of children. Earlier checked Church Baptism andMarriage Index, 1867-1876 without success. FHL 1378022, items 6-8; tryearlier.
Check for index of 1870 census of New Jersey. Also check 1850 censuswhen James was 40, Margaret 28 and John 2. A Bridget Eagan's probateindex is at FHL 14381; she died 10/15/74 . The reference is made to willbook T pg 121. However her Executor is shown as Ann rather thanMargaret. If alive, Margaret would have been 52 and Bridget was 19. FHL914207 is probate record. Check if Ann is referred to as mother.

Ward, Page 91; FHL #803688.
NOTES:
James and Margaret (Walsh) Eagan were living in the 2nd ward ofNewark, New Jersey, in 1860 according to the census of that year. SinceAnn and Cornelius Pigott were married in Newark in 187O it was hoped theywould show up in the census. Wards 1 and 2 of the 13 wards in 1870 werechecked without success. In 1860 the family consisted of James, 50,Margaret 38, John 12, Ann 7, Bridget, 5 and Henry 3. James was a laborerworth $1000 in real estate and $200 in personal property. No realestate has been located. Both he and Margaret were born in Ireland andall the children were born in New Jersey, including Ann. Obviously, theyimmigrated prior to about 1848. 1870 Census records at the FamilyHistory Library were on the following reels: Wards 1-3, 552378; 4-6,552379; 7-10, 552380; 11-13, 552381. Did not visually scan reels forwards 4-13.
RESEARCH:
Is there an index for the 1870 census of New Jersey? Was there astate
census for New Jersey between 1865 and 1870?
