SIXTH GENERATION


37. Jean "John" Baptiste FINOT Jr. was born in 1852 in , , France. He died on Jul 28 1895 in St. Louis, St Louis Co., MO. John is living in Levan Township in the 1880 census, with his mother and other sisters and brothers. John had taken out a Life insurance Policy, #96720 in the amount of $1,000.00 from the North Western Masonic Aid Association of Chicago, IL. While working, he was injured and required permanent help in supporting his family along with his medical bills, etc. So he signed over the insurance policy to the Masonic Lodge in Murphysboro in return for their support of his family and his medical bills, etc. This will was signed on April 25, 1895. His wife, Ella, also signed off on the will and the insurance policy.
On November 7, 1892, John took his "Minor's Petition and Final Oath", in which he states that he has lived in the US for 24 years and in Illinois for 19 years. This would mean that he came to the US in 1868.
