8. | Joseph BRUTSCHÉ was born 17 Jun 1801, Dogern, Baden, Germany; was christened 18 Jun 1801, Dogern, Baden, Germany (son of Johannes BRUOTSCHI and Catharina TRÖNDLE); died 28 May 1888, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; was buried Monument Cemetery, Philadelphia removed to Lawnview Cemetery, Rockledge, Pennsylvania, Susquehanna Lawn, Section 64, Grave 51 . Notes: Joseph's surname was spelled "Bruotschi" in the birth record, pronounced "BROOT-she" in German. We do not know how the pronunciation changed to "bru-SHAY" here in the United States. One possibility is because Jeanette Brutsché consistently advertised offering the finest in 'French Millinery,' she felt the need to be seen as being from France. It should also be noted that in the 1880 Census Joseph Brutsché, the son of Joseph and Jeanette, living in Denison Texas, listed both of his parents as having been born in France instead of Germany and Switzerland. This could have related either to his mother's business, or his own situation in Texas, where Germans were disliked because of their Civil War pacifism and reluctance to fight for the Confederacy. Joseph married Jeanette LEHMAN 2 Feb 1832, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Jeanette (daughter of Samuel M. LEHMAN and Catharina PIAT) was christened 6 Apr 1806, Aarau, Aargau, Switzerland; died 27 Feb 1894, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; was buried Monument Cemetery, Philadelphia removed to Lawnview Cemetery, Rockledge, Pennsylvania, Susquehanna Lawn, Section 64, Grave 51 .

9. | Jeanette LEHMAN was christened 6 Apr 1806, Aarau, Aargau, Switzerland (daughter of Samuel M. LEHMAN and Catharina PIAT); died 27 Feb 1894, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; was buried Monument Cemetery, Philadelphia removed to Lawnview Cemetery, Rockledge, Pennsylvania, Susquehanna Lawn, Section 64, Grave 51 . Notes: Jeanette Lehman advertised in 1828 as a milliner, and J. Brutsche was listed in the Philadelphia business directories as such for the years 1839 through 1853. Beginning in 1854 she was no longer listed, and listings began for Joseph Brutsche, water color manufacturer.

10. | Sidney Smith LEGATE was born 5 May 1830, Leominster, Worcester, Massachusetts (son of William Morris LEGATE and Nancy HADLEY); died 29 May 1913, Pinconning, Bay, Michigan; was buried Pinconning Township Cemetery, Pinconning, Bay, Michigan. Notes: Sidney Smith Legate was born on May 5, 1830 in Leominster, MA. He was the son of Capt. William Morris Legate and Nancy Hadley Legate. Around 1850 Sidney moved to New Hampshire to teach school. There he met Hannah Wiggin Smith (b. 1830) and they were married 4/8/1852. They went on to have four children, Walter Scott (b. 5/9/1853), Russell Smith (b. 9/9/1855), May Augusta (b. 9/9/1956), and Anna Louise (b. 5/28, 1862). Hannah died a few months after the birth of Anna on 8/7/1862. After his wife's death, Sidney disappeared from his children's lives for a while and they were brought up by various relatives. In 1873 we find Sidney working as a contractor and builder in Denison & Sherman, Texas. His son, Russell, joined him there as did his daughter, May in around 1876. He briefly lived in Fort Worth, TX in 1877. On May 10, 1882 he married Catherine V. Turner in Chicago, IL. He returned to Texas to work as a builder because we find him back in Denison in 1887. He and Catherine eventually settled in Pinconning, MI where they bought a farm. They lived the remaining years of their life there. Sidney died on May 29, 1913. (Information contributed by Lisa Brutsche Morrow) Sidney married Hannah Wiggin SMITH 1853, Stratham, Rockingham, New Hampshire. Hannah was born 1834, New Hampshire; died 7 Aug 1862, New Hampshire.
