Surnames: Gauchat, Austin, Glynn, Burrell
I am looking for ANY descendants of Philibert and Marianna Gauchat. They immigrated to the U.S. from Preles, Switzerland around 1840, and settled for about 10 years in Buffalo, Erie County, New York. They then came to Dubuque County, Iowa and are in the 1860 census there. Philibert went by Philip in the U.S., and died June or July 1866 in Dubuque County, Iowa (I have a copy of his will and court info). He and Marianna Julie had the following children:

Eugene Louis Philipe b:1 Nov 1835 in Chavennes, Kanton Bern, Switzerland.

Jean Alfred b: 11 April 1837 in Champion, Kanton Bern, Switzerland.

Philibert b: 24 Sep 1838 in Preles, Kanton Bern, Switzerland.

Julia b: 1841 and married Peter Glynn 26 Dec 1863 in Dubuque County, Iowa.

Lena b: 1843 and married James Burrell 11 April 1864 in Dubuque County, Iowa. She died 28 July 1917 in Logan, Gallatin County, Montana.

Mary V. b: 1845 and married Thomas Austin 5 June 1862 in Dubuque County, Iowa.

Philippe Louis (my 2nd great grandfather) b: 15 Jun 1846 in Buffalo, Erie County, New York. He married Lillian Abigail Gardner 1 Jan 1874 in Sandy, Salt Lake County, Utah.

Louise or Louisa b: 1847 possibly married an Edward Foisy 19 May 1856 in Quebec, Canada.

Albert b: 1848 no other info, except he show up living with his sister, Mary Gauchat Austin, in the 1870 census, in Vernon Township, Dubuque County, Iowa.

Any help with this family and their descendants would be greatly appreciated! I can be contacted at digginupmypast@gmail.com.

I've just started researching the Burrell's side of the family in Montana. We had Lena's maiden name misspelled as Guchot and that whe was of French and German descent.

James Burrell and Reina (Eva Lena) had six children;
3 boys, Henry, Frances and George, and 3 daughters, Jennie, Eva Lena (Birdie), and Mae. I just recieved a draft copy of a biograpahical sketch about James and Lena that was prepared for the Pioneers of Gallatin Valley by Edna Gillespie many years ago.

Jennie E. Burrell (1870 MT - 1956 MT) married Frank Lewis Aldrich (Jan 1857 Steven Point WI - Aug 1930 MT) on December 9, 1885 in Gallatin City, Montana. They had four sons;
1. William H. Aldrich 1885 - 1917
2. Andrew Jackson Aldrich 1888 - 1901
3. Alpheus "Al" Francis Aldrich October 5, 1889 - July 1963
4. James "Frank" Frank Aldrich December 11, 1891 - (Sorry misplaced this date).

Al and Frank married sisters Anna "Annie" Elizabeth Davis (May 28,1899 MT - January 4, 1994 MT) and Maude Elzina Davis (1900 MT - 1962 MT)

Al and Annie married January 4, 1918 in Bozeman and had four children;
1. Andrew "Jack" Jackson Aldrich March 16, 1918 - January 6, 1939
2. Allegra "Florine" Florine Aldrich November 29, 1920 - Living,
3. James "Bill" William Aldrich July 29, 1923 - Deceased I recall in 1990 but need to reserach this
4. Gerine Ann Aldrich May 1, 1936 - Living.

Gerine is my mother.
