The Bordeaux schooner 'La Patrie' arrived in Philadelphia in June 1792, during the rebellion in Saint Dominigue, bringing Francis Adrian Thibault from Ste. Rose de Leogane in that West Indian island. When the emigre took the oath of allegiance to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on June 1793, he was described as "son of James Thibault, of Paris, in France, house builder, and of Angelique Harlo, his wife, both deceased" (Penn. Archives, second series, III, p. 71). Later a silversmith, this Thibault is believed by his descendants to have been proprietor of a coffee plantation at Leogane in what is now Haiti, although the evidence of his occupation has not been found in the notarial records of that parish (now in the Archives de la France d'Outre-mer, in Paris). Francis Adrian Thibault married, probably in France before he settled in the West Indies, Marie Jeanne Cecile Cherui, who in a manuscript notebook now owned by a descendant, recorded her own birth on January 18, 1761, "a Reims, en Champagne en France". She also wrote that she arrived at Cap Francois (now Cap Haitien) in 1784, lived there two years, at Port au Prince for fifteen months, and at Leogane for seven years. If Madame Thibault recalled her movements precisely, she must of left Leogane in 1793 or 94, hence after her husband. With father or mother emigrated three sons, all later silversmiths in their adopted city: Francis born September 18, 1787; Frederick born December 8, 1788; and Felix born March 11, 1791. Their names in Anglicized form, and the dates of their birth, all at Ste. Rose de Leogane, are as given in their mother's notebook. Madame Thibault died in Phildelphia on December 24, 1834.
Notes from Carrow T. and FJ Dallett FASG: They fled from Santa Domingo at the time of the insurrection of the slaves in the schooner Le Patrie. They had 2 large coffee plantations but lost everything as their boat flew the British flag(?). They were captured and everything confiscated -- Last cargo of coffee loaded and consigned to Omega under Capt. Larrel from Bordeaux.
On June 22nd 1792 Francis Adrian Thibault, wife Marie Jeanne Cecile Cherui, and three children arrived in Phila. penniless. Their children were: Francis born 18 Sept 1787-1832, Frederick born 8 Dec 1788 d about 1866, Felix born 11 Mar 1791 d 3 Nov 1841. Two other children were born in this country: Constance Cecilia born 9 Dec 1795 d 1865, married 13 Dec 1825 at St Joseph Ch. Dunn, Edward Crachs. and one other daughter who died of yellow fever..
Kept notebook that documented much of the early family history. See husband's notes. She supposedly left France for health reasons (Carrow T. and FJ Dallett notes)
