Notes for CLARISSA BEEBE:
Braytown Christian Church (Craig Twp., Switzerland Co.)
The Braytown Christian Church was organized in the 1830⁄40s by Rev. R.B. Roberts of Kentucky, according to the History of Switzerland Co. (p. 1151.) However, the church did not receive the deed for its property until Oct. 18, 1893 when Henry J. Barber and wife, Sarah, deeded part of the SW1⁄4 Section 19 Twp. 2N Range 2W to the trustees. (Switzerland Co. Deed Book 15 p. 499)
The Switzerland County History lists the first members as David and Hannah Trowbridge, William H. and Eliza Ann Roberts, Eveline Harvey, Mrs. Abba Lamson, Mary Lamson, Abigail Lamson, Clarissa Golay, Lucy Haskell, Rachel Buchanan, Phoebe Banta and Elizabeth Cotton and others. Rachel Buchanan is probably Rachel Short Buchanan, whose father Jacob Short, was a founding member of Manville Christian Church. Rachel, her husband John Buchanan and Short are buried at Old Bethel Cemetery. The original Braytown membership probably dates from shortly after December 1838 when the Buchanans purchased land in Craig Township on the Versailles-Vevay Road after moving from Milton Township. The Switzerland Co. History lists first ministers as Rev. Beverly Vawter, L.H. Jameison (sic), Henry Movity and Charles Lanham. Trustees elected on June 27, 1873 were Isaac McKay Sr., William F. Detraz and George H. Haskell.

Notes for JEAN "JOHN" LOUIS ARMAND DANGLADE:
Birth Record from Bayonne, France:
"John
Louis Armand Danglade born (18 October 1802) in the fourth Brumaire and
the sixth of the French
Republic at 6 o'clock in the morning, son of Jean Baptiste Danglade,
Ship's Captain, and Marie
Lissabe, his wife, Living in the Rue de Basques. (Bayonne, France) The
sex of the child is known
to be male. First witness, Jean Louis Claverie, aged fifty years,
gentleman, resident of Bardos, Dept. of the lower Pyrenees, maternal
uncle
of the child. Second witness, Frances Lacase, aged twenty-seven
years, wife of Martin Danglade, wine merchant, resident of the same
city, paternal aunt of the
child. Certified by the Mayor of the City of Bayonne.
He moved to the Americas in 1817, he met with Swiss migrants in New Orleans and sailed up the Mississippi River with them (they all spoke French presumably) and settled in Switzerland helping to found the small town called Vevay in the south of Indiana.
Among the many fascinating French documents that have come to hand is a passport, issued in March 1831 by the French Consul at New Orleans. Valid for one year, it shows evidence of hard use during that period. Constant folding has separated the whole into eight parts, but, by piecing these together and reading on both sides on learns that it was used by Jean Louis to his native country, all made in 1831. One visa states that Armand was returning to New Orleans as a passenger. On the margin is a personal description of Monsieur. From it we learn that he is twenty-nine years old, one-menter and seventy-three centimeters in height, has chestnut hair and eyelashes, brown eyes, a high forehead, pointed nose, medium mouth, round chin and oval face. For this passport he paid ten piasters (dollars) and received, in addition, a receipt for the sum of twenty francs ten sous for his board on shipboard after departure from Havre.
