Marie Elizabeth COMTE       (ID #I6727)

(female)

• BIRTH: abt 1793?
• DEATH: 13 SEP 1870, Vevay, Switzerland Co., Indiana
• BURIAL: Vevay Cemetery, Vevay, Switzerland Co., Indiana

Father: Jean Baptiste COMTE (dates unknown)
Mother: Therese BORER (dates unknown)

Family 1 : Melchior SAUVAIN (b. 22 NOV 1781, d. 05 JUN 1859)

• MARRIAGE: 08 JUN 1815, Munster, Haut-Rhin, France

1.  Jean Joseph SAUVAIN (b. 17 MAY 1815)
2.  Louis SAUVAIN (b. 20 SEP 1817)
3.  Henry Phillip SAUVAIN (b. 06 APR 1819)
4.  Elisabeth L. SAUVAIN (b. 27 JAN 1821)
5.  Mary Constance SAUVAIN (b. 12 MAR 1822)
6.  Justi SAUVAIN (b. 01 MAY 1826)
7.  Caroline H. SAUVAIN (b. 18 DEC 1828)
8.  Julia Antoinette SAUVAIN (b. 16 JAN 1831)
9.  John William SAUVAIN (b. 02 DEC 1833)
10.  Nancy Caroline SAUVAIN (b. 13 DEC 1840)

 

Her parentage is given in her marriage record and in the record of the birth of her first child, but it is apparently incorrect. These records give her father's name as Jean Baptiste Comte, and her mother's name as Theresse Borer or something similar, but we found no such couple at Châtenois. Instead, we found the marriage of a Jean Baptiste Comte to Marie Victoire Félicité Adam, 24 may 1810, this Jean Baptiste born at Châtenois in June, 1780, son of Mathieu Comte and Theresse Borier. That baptism, dated 22 jun 1780, shows the parents as Mathias Conte (from his signature, but the text calls him Gond instead of Conte) and Theressia Burress or possibly Burresse, Bouresse, Bürres, etc. Did Mathieu and Thérèse have a daughter who might be the one who married Melchior Sauvain? Is there some other reason for the apparently incorrect information?
