Judy,
Thanks for your info. It is interesting that so much data can be
wrong with what is supposed to be accurate records.
First, they arrived in the US in 1851 not 1852. This is evidenced
by the fact that they had a child very soon, if not upon their arrival in
Derby. That child was Rosa and she was not listed as being onboard in your
listing. The mother-in-law was found dead on the river boat upon arriving
at Derby on January 6, 1852. Her last name was Harbaville.
Jules (the listing for Juli) was a male and the ancestor of
literally dozens of residents of Perry County (if not hundreds!)
Anyway, the gist of the information is probably correct, but there always
seems to be a fact or two which does not seem to match.
