She is probably the Fanchette Moreillon, wife of Jean François Reybaz, who died at Vevey 24 mar 1804 and was buried 26 mar 1804. Her age was given as 29 1/2 years, but this might be an error for 27 1/2 years, which would be correct.

Marriage banns are recorded at Vevey (final reading on 22 may 1774), but the marriage itself is not recorded there. It might have been celebrated at Bex (church records there not yet examined).
Until about 1785, he is identified in the records of the baptisms of his children as a citizen of Bex, and "habitant" of Vevey. After 1785, he is described as "de Vevey et de Bex", which signifies that he had acquired additional citizenship at Vevey.

Jean Louis MOREILLON (ID #I5587)
(male)
- BIRTH: 15 DEC 1779, Vevey, Vaud, Switzerland
- BAPTISM: 27 DEC 1779, Vevey, Vaud, Switzerland
- DEATH: aft 1850, Switzerland Co., Indiana
Father: Jean Louis MOREILLON (b. abt 1742, d. 01 DEC 1815)

The baptismal entry originally called him Jean Louis son of David Moreillon. This was corrected to read Jean Louis, with the following notation: "NB. La correction ci-dessus a été faite à la requisition du Père. Vevey le 6e Aoust 1802. Vide pag. 168 & 213. Cuenod l'ainé, Pasteur." The reference to pages 168 and 213 refers to the baptisms of the preceding and succeeding children of Jean Louis Moreillon and Françoise Eve Perdonnet. The error was probably discovered when the time came for the younger Jean Louis to be prepared for his first communion, usually about age 15 (during that process, his baptism would have to be verified), and thus the correction was requested by his father. There do not appear to be any surviving registers of catechumens for the parish of Vevey, so this scenario cannot be directly confirmed.
A collection of papers from the Moreillon family is at the Archives Cantonales Vaudoises (ACV PP 921). This collection includes documents that place the present Jean Louis in Bordeaux in the spring of 1816, and later at Vevay, Indiana.
He might be the John L. Morillia who appears in the 1850 census of Craig Township, Switzerland Co., Indiana in a household of "paupers" — this is evidently the county "poor farm". There does not appear to be any later mention of him in the county records.
