Joseph Jacquette and wife Maria Treavor came from Belgium according to
most records found. The political situation in Belgium at the time, might
explain why they said they came from France when they arrived in New York.

Father, Joseph - last appeared on the 1870 census. He is likely buried in the
Mishicot Catholic cememtery, with his wife. That cemetery has no records and
few stones remain. The Mishicot Catholic records now are now at the Archdiocese
in Green Bay and are almost unreadable, what there are of them. It seems the
Mishicot Church was on Missionary status from St. Luke’s in Two Rivers until
some time after 1880. So dual records may have been kept in Two Rivers for some
time. This has not been researched. There is also no county death record for
Joseph. To date, no mention of his death has been found in the newspapers.
Mother, Maria - died in 1888. There is a County death record and an obituary.
Her death record says she was buried in Holy Cross I cemetery. She was living
in Two Rivers with son Joseph at the time of her death.
Rosalie - got off the boat, but no further reference or record of her was found.
Frank - There is a Manitowoc Co. birth record of an Adelaide Jacquette in 1865.
She was born to Frank and Philomena Jacquette, but no further record of her was
found.
Frank married Catharine Hoffmann in 1872 and lived on the homestead he and
brother Joseph bought in 1864 in Tn. Mishicot. In 1876, Frank bought out Joseph.
He had a total of 16 children, 12 reached adulthood. Most of the Children died
around Two Rivers. One was last living in Taylor Co. Three died in the Milwaukee
area.
Victor - married Josephine Barmel in 1864, after serving in the Civil War. He
lived and worked in Two Rivers. His mother was living with them in 1880. In 1895,
his wife died. In 1897 he remarried to Jacob Hoffmann’s widow, Elizabeth Bebeau,
and moved to Sheboygan. They had two more children in Sheboygan. Between the two
wives, he had 10 children. He worked at a chair company. Later records of
children by his first wife, have not been thoroughly researched or found. His last
two children by Elizabeth, both died in Sheboygan.
Joseph - married Katherine Glockner in 1874. He farmed on the Mishicot Rd and
died in Two Rivers. They had 7 children. All the children found, died in Manitowoc
Co.
This genealogy research started from the surname Lemke. Fred Lemke came to Manitowoc
from Germany, north of Berlin, in 1889. His older half brother, Henry Zannacker, was
already in Manitowoc when he arrived. Henry started Zannacker Cleaners that remained
for many years in downtown Manitowoc. Ten years after Fred Lemke arrived, he married
Frank Jacquette’s daughter, Elizabeth. Frank Jacquette’s wife was Catherine Hoffmann.
This led to research on the Hoffmanns. Elizabeth Jacquette Lemke is the maternal
grandmother of John Klein.
Both Hoffmanns and Jacquettes first settled in the southern part of Tn. Mishicot
along the Mishicot Rd, near Tannery Rd. and were neighbors. Both families were
Catholic. Some of the earliest burials in both families were most likely in the
Holy Cross Catholic Church cemetery in Mishicot.
After you have done a body of research on your family tree, and find it connected
to the Jacquettes, we will be happy to exchange information not posted.
Below are just the surnames of those connected by marriage in the first few
generations after the Jacquettes came to Mishicot.
