Jean Pierre and Rosalie immigrated to the United States on his application for passage dated August 5, 1844, coming to New York, New York, with two children. Jean Pierre was born in and was a resident of Vellescot, France, and was a cultivateur (farmer). They came aboard the ship "Emerald," which arrived in the Port of New York on September 17, 1844, from Le Havre, France. There was a total of 31 passengers on this voyage of the "Emerald." The Ship's Master, George Wm. Horve gave the ship's burthen as 518 5/95 tons. In the 1880 census, it was reported that Jean Pierre was "maimed or crippled." Jean Pierre was 78 years, 5 months and 8 days old when he died. Rosalie died of senile debility. She was 90 years, 9 months and 5 days old when she died. Rosalie's obituary reads, "Allen County Pioneer Called - Mrs. Rose Gladieux, of Jefferson Township Dies - Was Nearly Ninety-One Years Old, and Came to America from France in 1844 - Is Survived by Many Descendants - The venerable Mrs. Rose Gladieux, one of the earliest of the Allen county pioneers, died Sunday at the old Gladieux homestead in Jefferson township, of senile debility. Had she lived until June 14 she would have been ninety-one years old, but her once rugged constitution became broken within the past few years and she was unable to longer bear the burdens of increasing age. Her husband, who was widely known throughout the county, died fifteen years ago. Mrs. Gladieux was a native of France. She was married there when but little more than a girl, and with her husband she came in 1814 to America to seek fortune on the western border. The couple settled for a short time in Ohio and then moved to the farm in Jefferson township, where each lived until summoned by death. The descendants of Mrs. Gladieux number three children, thirty grandchildren and fifty-two great grandchildren. One daughter, Mrs. A. Lomont, died several years ago, and the living children are Frank Gladieux, former county commissioner; Celestine Gladieux, with whom his mother resided on the Jefferson township farm, and Mrs. George Townsend. Former Deputy Sheriff Francis C. Gladieux is a grandson. In religion Mrs. Gladieux was a devout Catholic and she was a member of the congregation of Besancon church. She was a woman of all the sturdy and noble characteristic which enabled the pioneers to transform the wilds about them into fertile farms, to plant the seeds of religion and education and produce out of the wilderness a race of men and women worthy of their self-sacrificing parents. The funeral services will be held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock at the home and later at Besancon church." [Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, Monday 20 March 1905, pg. 1] They are both buried in the Besancon Cemetery at St. Louis Catholic Church in New Haven, Indiana. References
