Narrative

Note: Researching Joseph Jean Cayot and family

Joseph Jean, my direct ancestor and one of only two sons born to his father's family, has proven somewhat elusive in the records, owning mostly to his death at about age thirty. I have been able to find the 1870 US Census listing that shows him as a teenager (aged sixteen) in the household of his parents. Following that, there is a marriage record for him in Allen Cty, Indiana in early 1876, which is then followed by the 1880 US Census listing for his household with wife Marie and sons Louis Joseph and Justin. These census records are both for Jefferson Twp, Allen Cty, Indiana - where the bulk of the next few generations of his descendants lived.

Joseph preceded his father Pierre in death by several years, and was the only one of his parents' children to do so. Pierre's will named his surviving children as heirs, along with four grandchildren - two of them known to be Joseph's sons, "Louis J." and "Justin" Cayot, while the next two are named "Clarisse" and "Ellen" Cayot. Looking more closely for records that might match these names, I have found the following two women.

- "Clarisse" may well be Clara (Cayot) Girardot (b. 1881, d. 24 Apr 1939); Clara was counted as a twenty-year-old servant in the household of Joseph Dodane in Jefferson Twp, Allen Cty, Indiana in the 1880 US Census, wherein she reported her parents as both Indiana-born. She married in 1902 to Edward Girardot (b. 1875, d. 1945) in Fort Wayne, Allen Cty, and is buried with him in Saint Johns Catholic Cemetery in New Haven, Allen Cty, Indiana. Clara and Edward appear to have had at least five children.

- Ellen appears to be Ellen (Cayot) Gerardat (b. 1882, d. 1951) who married Charles Gerardat (b. 1868, d. 1967) in the spring of 1898. The two of them appear to have had at least seven children, and are buried together in the Saint Louis Besancon Roman Catholic Cemetery in New Haven.

I have not found information to confirm that these two women are daughters of Joseph's, but it seems likely - at least one of them was born before his death, and the other in the months just following Joseph's death. I will note that at least one online family tree has specified these two woman as daughters of Joseph's, but I have not yet found confirming documents or records.
