Information on Louis & Margaret Schenher Joly's Migragtion
to the United States w/their children:
Immigration: June 7, 1847 New York, New York.
Louie was Grandmother Clara (Hern) McDermott's great grandfather. Louie was born in Mountdidier Village, Loraine, County of Alberstroff, France, just 2 miles from Vahl. A mountainous place that only raised fruit and grapes. His family was in the wine business. Montdidier had no church, so he went to Vahl (10 miles away) for services and there he met Margaret Schenher. He and Margaret were married and they bought a home in Vahl, next door to her mother's house. He was a tailor. They had 10 children, 4 sons and 5 daughters. In 2008 Don & MJ found two tombstones in Montdidier for members of the Joly family. Most likely the D'anne Joly, wife of Nicholas Bastien was Louie's sister or aunt. We also drove to Vahl Les Benestroff but found no old cemetery there. During the 19th cent. life and thought of France were dominated by the French Revolution. The Catholic Church was largely Royalist due to the persecution it suffered during the revolution. The Joly family could be classed with the Republicans because they were a working class family (see Michael Joly's letter), but they were also Catholic and property owners, so their loyalties were mixed. When Margaret's mother died, they bought 10 acres and a large stone building that had been an inn by the name of "La Gard de Dieu" with her share of the inheritance. The inn was about middle ways between Altrof, (Alberstroff?) a German settlement and Dieuse, a French one. With the defeat of Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo, Alsace-Lorraine passed to Germany again and King Louis XVIII was restored to the throne of France. By 1840, Napoleon I was coming back into his glory & his remains were brought to his magnificent tomb in Paris. The French longed for the days of their glory, the workers longed for freedom. Louis and Margaret came to America because of hard times and rumblings of insurrection that were prevalent in France in 1847. Two of their children were already dead, but they brought 5 of their children with them including: Elizabeth, Charlie, Pauline, and Catherine (the oldest still living). (According to our family tradition, Catherine brought her 2 year old child, Mary, and her husband, Theodore Havert. Catherine died in childbirth on the ship.) The family is listed on the Passenger List for New York, Ship Adhomas, Port of Departure Le Havre, France Arrival Date 7 Jun 1847. (Ancestor.Com--NY Passenger List 1820-1957, Line 41, Microfilm Serial: M237, Microfilm Roll: M237_67, List # 338.) They bought 80 acres in Jefferson township, Fort Wayne, IN about August of 1847. He died in 1856, 2 weeks after his wife Margaret at their home in Ft. Wayne.

to the United States w/their children:
Immigration: June 7, 1847 New York, New York.
Louie was Grandmother Clara (Hern) McDermott's great grandfather. Louie was born in Mountdidier Village, Loraine, County of Alberstroff, France, just 2 miles from Vahl. A mountainous place that only raised fruit and grapes. His family was in the wine business. Montdidier had no church, so he went to Vahl (10 miles away) for services and there he met Margaret Schenher. He and Margaret were married and they bought a home in Vahl, next door to her mother's house. He was a tailor. They had 10 children, 4 sons and 5 daughters. In 2008 Don & MJ found two tombstones in Montdidier for members of the Joly family. Most likely the D'anne Joly, wife of Nicholas Bastien was Louie's sister or aunt. We also drove to Vahl Les Benestroff but found no old cemetery there. During the 19th cent. life and thought of France were dominated by the French Revolution. The Catholic Church was largely Royalist due to the persecution it suffered during the revolution. The Joly family could be classed with the Republicans because they were a working class family (see Michael Joly's letter), but they were also Catholic and property owners, so their loyalties were mixed. When Margaret's mother died, they bought 10 acres and a large stone building that had been an inn by the name of "La Gard de Dieu" with her share of the inheritance. The inn was about middle ways between Altrof, (Alberstroff?) a German settlement and Dieuse, a French one. With the defeat of Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo, Alsace-Lorraine passed to Germany again and King Louis XVIII was restored to the throne of France. By 1840, Napoleon I was coming back into his glory & his remains were brought to his magnificent tomb in Paris. The French longed for the days of their glory, the workers longed for freedom. Louis and Margaret came to America because of hard times and rumblings of insurrection that were prevalent in France in 1847. Two of their children were already dead, but they brought 5 of their children with them including: Elizabeth, Charlie, Pauline, and Catherine (the oldest still living). (According to our family tradition, Catherine brought her 2 year old child, Mary, and her husband, Theodore Havert. Catherine died in childbirth on the ship.) The family is listed on the Passenger List for New York, Ship Adhomas, Port of Departure Le Havre, France Arrival Date 7 Jun 1847. (Ancestor.Com--NY Passenger List 1820-1957, Line 41, Microfilm Serial: M237, Microfilm Roll: M237_67, List # 338.) They bought 80 acres in Jefferson township, Fort Wayne, IN about August of 1847. He died in 1856, 2 weeks after his wife Margaret at their home in Ft. Wayne.
