Hello

Very interesting indeed !

I am not very good at reading the old handwriting of the wills so i can't say for sure if any of them mention the chinese porcelain services. If you would like to read any of them i can email them to you.

At least 3 chinese porcelain services were made for a Mouchet family at the end of the 18th c in England. Were any of these mentioned in the wills you have? Do you know of any record of these? Chinese Armoriol Porcelain volume 2, by David Sanctuary Howard.

Hello
The following could be a connection between the London and South Carolina Mouchet's.
Samuel Mouchet from South Carolina married Barbara McCurdy. They had a son named Henry Ann Mouchet born 1768 Abbeville. There was also a birth and baptism for Henry Ann Mouchet in London. He was born 16th April 1744 and baptised 9th May 1744 in St James, Westminster, the son of Samuel Mouchet and Betty. I now know her name to be Betty Thomson. Obviously these are two different Henry Ann Mouchet's. The obvious connection is the middle name being 'Ann'. Very strange for boy's having Ann as a middle name. I have the will's of Samuel Mouchet and his son Henry Ann Mouchet and a Abraham Mouchet all from London. The London Samuel Mouchet came from Colombier, Neufchatel, Switzerland originally. The Mouchet's are a well known family from Colombier being Lords etc. They can trace their ancestry back hundred's of years. In fact one Abraham Mouchet saved the French King's life at the battle of Ivry. I got this info from the Colombier website. I belive the London Mouchet's to be French Huguenots originally.

I'm researching Samuel Mouchet of SC for a friend. Can you provide more info about your find. Where in Europe did they originate?

Jacob Mouchet was my great grandfather, also the current name of my youngest brother, I believe this would be the same one as most of my family comes from GA.

I am a descendant of South Carolina Mouchet/Mouchette/Moucha family. My great great grandfather was Jonas Mouchet who came to Alabama in the 1840s. If you like you may email me for more info.

I tried to use the "contact" button, but I guess you have to have a paid Ancestry subscription for that. If you go to my web site at http://genealogy.mouchet.org and click on "contact us" to send me a message, I can reply to that message and send you what I have.

Thank you for your correspondence from 2006. I just found your message. If you have any information to share, I would appreciate it. I am not a Mouchet - my sister married a Mouchet & I am researching to give her children information on their family. You are correct - nobody has gotten farther than Samuel yet. I hope that I will be able to cross that bridge some day!

It was very nice of you to offer the photograph. As you may have found out, there is a variety of ways of spelling Mouchette (Mouchett, Mouchet, Moucha, Maushett) that it is difficult tracking any one of them.

Sorry it took me so long to reply to your post. You can find any of the French vital records on LDS microfilm as long as you know the province. If you don't know the date you can search the decennial (10 year) indexes for the province. If you know the year, most films have an alphabetical index before or after the records. Be sure to read the film notes in the catalog to figure out which film roll(s) you want to order. The dates available vary, but generally they have births, marriages, and deaths from about 1780 through 1901.

Wow, thanks for the prompt response! I was able to track down an obituary and a death certificate for Ferdinand Mouchet. The death certificate cites his birthplace as Switzerland. I'm not sure how much stock to put into that because the information was provided by his second wife who didn't know other pertinent information, such as father's name, mother's maiden name, or places of birth. Also, it seems every other census lists his birthplace as France or Switzerland, so I'm not sure which country is correct. Perhaps he lived in a border town which was swapped between the countries?

I do have info that he lived in the mountain town of Chamonix while working as a guide in the Alps. Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to be near Bourbonne-Les-Bains, Haute-Marne, 52, France.

I don't have any information on his marriage. Family history tells me his wife's maiden name was Mary Langtree, but according to the Latter-Day Saints records (website) her name was Mary Layni (these are so similar -- I'm hoping one of them is correct!). Is this enough information to search the French vital records at a Family History Center? I haven't yet tapped that resource. Was that how you obtained your grandfather's birth record?

It's unfortunate that our Mouchet researcher in France is unwilling to share his information! When I was first researching my Mouchets I would come across Leon -- I'm glad you found so much information on your ancestor!

gmouchet — 2007-10-11 04:43:17Z

My grandfather, Leon Felix Mouchet was born on 20 May 1874 in Bourbonne-Les-Bains, Haute-Marne, 52, France. In 1903 he immigrated from Paris with his wife Marie to Canada and then came to Spokane Washington in 1907. He died in a mining accident in Kellog, Idaho in 1914. I haven't come across a Ferdinand. I suppose he could have been a cousin of Philibert. Do you know what department of France he was born in? Or where he got married? There is a very good collection of French vital records you can order at any Family History Center. Marriage records usually reference the birth record so it's easy to trace back. If you can find an obituary, it might also tell you where he was born. My grandfather's birth record told a whole story about how his father presented him to the mayor and the event was recorded after the mayor gave a lecture about raising a child. It even has signatures of Leon's father and witnesses.

I have come across two other branches of Mouchets. One descended from a Samuel Mouchet who came to America about the time of the Huguenots and another branch who settled in South America.

I made contact with a Mouchet in France who has done some genealogy, but he doesn't seem to want to share it.

kmouchet — 2007-10-10 23:19:03Z

Are you still researching Mouchets? I've hit a dead-end with my great-great-grandfather, Ferdinand Mouchet. He immigrated from France to U.S. in 1881 with his wife, Marie (or Mary), and son, Frederick. Any chance you've come across his name in relation to Philibert or Leon?

Re: Mouchets from South Carolina

gmouchet — 2006-02-12 15:35:01Z

I have information on a line of South Carolina Mouchets, descended from Samuel Charles Mouchet. I can email you a genealogy compiled by others.

Mouchet is a French name. Samuel was born about 1740 in Abbeville, South Carolina so his parents or grandparents may well have been Huguenots. I have corrensponded with some Mouchets in that line, but I don't know of any who have traced it earlier than Samuel.

Going through my late father-in-law's scrapbooks from the war, we came across several photos of a wedding. The wedding took place in Belgium. It was a US Army soldier named Mouchette (sp?) and a Belgian woman.

We don't have a first name for Mouchette so this message board is the most logical place to start. If you know of or are related yourself to Mouchette, please email me. We'll confirm your relationship and I'll be more than happy to turn these pictures over to family members.

Would appreciate any information on Mouchets from SC. Family would include names: Andrew Frank, Lindsey Lamar, John Tyler, Jacob Mouchet. Any information would be appreciated. Also, has anyone been able to determine if the family came from Germany or France? Were they Huguenots or possibly Palatines? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

In "The Lemuel Conners Papers" at the LSU Library a Mouchet is mentioned along with a Lacroze in receipt books."1813-1834:Mouchet and Lacroze,1813-1815/1815-1819,formulas for dyes and receipts for Mrs. Lacroze,1822-1834." I guess they are staying or renting on the Conner plantation. Could this be your family? My family is the Lacroze part about whom I've tried desperatly to find further information. This took place in either Natchez, MS., or Vidalia, LA. S. Camp

gmouchet — 2003-09-16 02:23:28Z

There's probaby a relationship father back. Philibert's son, Leon Felix Mouchet, came to Canada sometime between 1902 and 1906 and then to the U.S. in 1907. I haven't been able to get much information about the Mouchets in France.

Another group of Mouchets came to South Carolina much earlier. Perhaps they are related to your Mississippi/Louisiana Mouchets.

Philibert is my great-grandfather. He was born in Fontenotte, Doubs, France. His parents were Claude Francois Philibert Eugene Leon Mouchet and Anna Marie Catherine Besson. I would like to exchange information with anyone else in this line of Mouchets

Hi Dona! I am going to reply to your private e-mail address. We have lots on Samuel Mouchet, but nothing on his daughter, Eve Barbara's line. Let's put our puzzle pieces together. I will be in touch in a minute!

I can't believe someone is interested in Samuel Mouchet. I've been looking it seems like forever. My line is regarding Samuel Bradford who calls Barbara Mouchet ( Samuel's daughter) his mother. Do you have any info on this?

Hello all. We have a group that is researching the family of Samuel Mouchet who was in Abbeville Co., SC in the late 1700s. Several researchers have traced lines through the present. The family migrated to AL, MS and elsewhere. Anyone interested?? amanda_c93@yahoo.com
