The oral history of our branch of the L'Hote family says that a French soldier left after the battle of Waterloo in 1815 and went to the French West Indies. He is presumed to have married there or in New Orleans and a son or grandson moved on to a small town in Ohio where Harry Edward L'Hote was born. His parents are unknown although he had two sisters, one Nell who married a Cadwalater(? and lived in Kansas City. Harry's mother remarried a man named Bittenger.
Looking for any clues on Harry Edward's parents or ancestry of any kind. Does he appear on anyone's family tree? There aren't too many L'Hote's around - we must be all related??? Please e-mail
