At Courtelary, his birth is found in the church records, but using the French Republican calendar: 12 Fructidor an 13. This translates to 30 aug 1805, the same date found in family records in the US.

In the 18th Century, at least 15 children of this name were baptised at Courtelary. It is not certain which one married Susanne Langel, because they were married during the period of civil registration, and the registers of the état-civil seem not to have been microfilmed. The marriage date comes from the indexes of the état-civl at Courtelary. There were probably more children, perhaps recorded in other parishes.
He is on the 1820 census of Craig Township, Switzerland Co., Indiana, where he is in the 26-45 age category. If this is accurate, therefore, he was born between 1775 and 1794. At that time, he had three sons and one daughter. Only two children have been found among the baptisms at Courtelary, but it is possible that more will be found in adjacent parishes.
The only Jean Henri Belrichard born after 1775 and who would be old enough for marriage in 1805 was the son of David Belrichard and Lydie Belrichard, born 12 jun 1783 and baptised 15 jun 1783. This would make our Jean Henri seven years younger than his wife, unusual for the time, but not unprecedented. The next earlier Jean Henri was born 21 mar 1770, son of Jean Pierre Belrichard, vitrier, and Anne Marie Nicod. It may be possible to reduce the number of possibilities using the burial records of Courtelary.

Baptised as "Ulis", most likely the name should be Ulysse.
