  Notes	He (as Francois Augustin) arrived in New York on 1 Apr 1856. His family arrived in New York later: on November 24, 1856, aboard the Havre which had sailed from Le Havre in France. The family members arriving were: Susanne, 41, Claude, 19, Marie, 16, Madeleine, 13, Annette, 11, Jean, 6, Marianne, 4, and Pierre, 6 months. The family is listed as being from France. That family is in Saukville Twp, Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, in the 1860 census. The household is Franz Auguste, 45, a farm laborer, Susann, 44, John, 9, Marianna, 7, Jean Pierre, 4, and Christina, 1. Everyone except Christina had been born in France. That family goes by Augustin in the 1870 census, still in Saukville, still shown as born in France. Of the children, only Christina is still at home. Franz is now Frank and Susanna is now Susan. The name is still Augustin in the 1880 census. Frank and Susanna still live in Ozaukee County. The following is a posting on the Genealogy.com boards by Terese Augustine Hall in 1998: My great great grandfather Franz (Francois) Augustin(e) was born in the Alsace Lorraine in France in 1814. He married Susanna Jerhoume (Sheroum) who was born in 1815 in the same area. In 1856, Francois arrived in New York from Lahave, France. He slept in the stairways on the boat he traveled to America on. In the 1860 census in Saukville, WI there is Francois, Susanna, Claud (my great grandfather), Marianna, Christina, Jean Pierre and John. Francois was a farmer and owned land in Saukville. The children: a) Claud was born in France in 1837 and died in Milwaukee WI 1925. He was a volunteer with the 9th infantry of Wisconsin volunteers in the Civil War; b) John was born in France in 1851 and was buried at St. Anthony's in Minneapolis but no date given. John & Lena arrived in Argyle around 1877. Lena was born in Germany. John opened the first tin shop in Argyle. After seven years, the family moved to Omaha, Nebraska about 1898. Lena died about 1912 in Chicago. There were 2 step children, Gertie & John Schnieder. They had 3 children, Frank who died in 1951; Flavia who died in Omaha in 1937 and Martin who died in Chicago in 1917. c) Marianne (Mary, Maria) was born in France in 1852 and died in Chicago in 1918. d) Jean Pierre was born in France but there are no other records than the 1860 census in Ozaukee county. e) Christina was born in 1859 in Saukville. There is a record of an indentured servant Christina whose face was disfigured by fire in her 20's but we are not sure if she is related. John married Lena and moved to Minnesota. Marianne married Nicholas Ludwig and moved to Chicago where he was an assistant fire chief. Claud (my great grandfather) lived in Saukville with his wife Lydia. They had Anna, twins Paulina( Polly) & Maria (Helena), John (grandpa), Albert, Frank, Charles, Nicholas and Margaretha (Margaret). In 1889, in Saukville where Claud was a prominent member of the community and mail messenger in Saukville, while he was at work, his wife Lydia, Mary, Frank, and Charles drowned in the Milwaukee River near their home. Nicholas died a few months later of exposure and chicken pox. My grandfather (John), Albert, Polly, and Helena were put in orphanages. Anna, the eldest, was caring for Claud and was able to bring Polly, Helena and Albert home. John (Grandpa) was indentured to the Catholic Church to Father Dieble in St. Gregory's Church in St. Nazianz from age 14 to age 21 for $125.00. Margaretha went to live with a family called the Schowalters from Saukville. My grandfather John moved back to Saukville, then lived and worked in Chicago for awhile. He returned to Milwaukee and married Elizabeth Lechmaier from Fredonia, who had Claude (my dad), George (died at 3 months), Mary (died at birth), Rosemary, and Geraldine. Anna married Arthur Englehardt; Paulina (Polly) married William Peglar; Helena married John Franenhauser; Albert married Magdelena Ahrends; and John (grandpa) married Elizabeth Lechmaier
