Generation No. 1

 

1.  JEAN JOSEPH1 AUCREMANNE was born 1804 in Belgium, and died 4 July 1891 in Green Bay, Brown County, Wisconsin.  He married MARIE DESIREE DEWERPE.  She was born 22 January 1810 in France, and died 11 February 1895 in Iroquois County, Illinois.

 

Notes for JEAN JOSEPH AUCREMANNE:

There is no evidence of Jean Joseph and Marie Desiree in the 1860 and 1870 Illinois Census; however record keepers and census takers did have difficulty with this surname, sometimes spelling it O'Cremond. Jean Joseph does appear in St. John the Baptist Catholic Church records, L'Erable, Illinois when he served as godfather for the infant Arthur Nicolas Joseph Lemenager (son of his daughter Antoinette) 11 December 1863. In the same records Marie Desiree was godmother 8 July 1862 for Jules Lemenager, son of Antoinette Aucremanne Lemenager. Her surname is found in the records as: Delnoupt, Delnvoupt and Dewerpe. Only the spelling of Dewerpe appears in 1997 phone directories of Belgium. The will and administration of Jean Joseph is found in Register of Probate, Brown County, Green Bay, Wisconsin, File #2158. Marie Desiree was born 22 January 1810 and died 11 February 1895 in Iroquois County, Illinois. They are both buried at L'Erable, Illinois. The Comet, Clifton, Illinois, issue of Saturday, 16 February, 1895 gives her obituary, "Mrs. Desire Aucremanne died at the home of Peter Douglas (Herrigott) Monday evening of dropsy. The deceased was born in France 84 years ago but came to America in 1856. She leaves two daughters, Mrs. Peter Douglas and Mrs. Eugene Lemenager, besides many friends to mourn their loss. The funeral services were held Wednesday the remains being taken to L'Erable where they were laid beside her daughter." A local news item added, "Henry and Joseph Douglas, of Chicago, came down to attend the funeral of their grandmother."

Son Marcelle Antoine was baptized at L'Erable, Iroquois County, Illinois at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, according to records compiled by Norma Meier. Bernard and Guilleminne do not appear on 1860 census in Iroquois County; at the time of her father's death in 1891 they were living at Chatelineau, near Charleroi, Belgium.

Notes for MATILDA AUCREMANNE:

St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, L'Erable, Illinois, Record Book One by Norma Meier shows their marriage. For a time the family took the surname of Douglas because of their admiration for Stephen Douglas during the period of Lincoln-Douglas debates. He is buried at L'Erable, Illinois and she is buried at Clifton, Illinois; there are no gravestones. The younger children's birth records are found at St. Peter's Catholic Church, Clifton, Illinois. Matilda's obituary states she lived in Clifton 60 years or more.

 

Notes for PETER HERRIGOTT/HERIGODTS:

Notes for FRANCIS "FRANK" HERRIGOTT:

His birth record is found at St. Peter's Catholic Church, Clifton, Illinois. His delayed birth record is filed with Iroquois County, Illinois and gives the birthdate of 21 March 1880 with certification given by his brother Peter. The record also gives the mother's maiden name of "Ocreman" and states both parents were born in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It appears all of these "facts" are in error.
