The family were Roman Catholics. In 1818 Francis Xavier Paulin II's family was living in the town of Romagny France, near Belfort. His father, Xavier I was a toy merchant. On December 20, 1829 Francis Xavier Paulin II married Miss Marie Anne Kurtzemann, the daughter of James Kurtzemann and Catherine Luthringer of Ranspach. At the time he was living in the village of Felleringer. (His father Xavier I was still living in Romagny but his mother, Anne Marie had died.) Miss Kurtzeman was living in the village of Ranspach with her mother and step father, Peter Munch. Her father, James, had died. *************** Marriage contract of Francis Xavier Paulin II and Marie Anne Kurtzemann written December 20, 1829. He was born in 1806 and died in 1890 #567 Before me, Thibaud Quirin Gasser, royal notary, resident of Saint Amarin, district of Belfort, department of the Upper Rhine, the undersigned, in the presence of witnesses named hereafter, appeared Mr. Xavier Paulin of Felleringen, mature son of Xavier Paulin and of the late Anna Marie Grenenwald, husband and wife of Romagny, Canton of Dannem and proceeding as of age in his own right, future husband, as party of the first part, and Miss Marie Anne Kurtzemann, without profession, mature daughter of the late James Kurtzemann and of Catharine Luthringer, husband and wife of Ranspach, where she lives, proceeding as of age in her own right, and with the assistance of her said mother, and of Peter Munsch, her step-father, to these presents, future wife, as party of the second part. These, in view of their projected marriage, which they promise to celebrate according to legal forms, and which is required as a prerequisite, decree the following agreements: ARTICLE: There shall be a universal community of-all their goods, personal an real, present or future, without distinction of nature or origin, divisible at dissolution into two halves, one of which shall I belong to the survivor, and the other to the heirs of the deceased intended. ARTICLE: The intended, desiring to testify the friendship and attachment which they bear to each other, do by these presents, give gratis, one and the other, to the survivor, in the absence of children to their future marriage: the enjoyment for life, of all the inheritance, personal and real, which the one dying first, may leave at death to the survivor, to enjoy and use without furnishing security, as goods of the family, and the property shall return to the line from which it came at the expiration of this contract. In case there are children to the marriage, this same use shall be restricted to the usufruct (obviously a misspelling or maybe an untranslated German word - Don) of the house of the dependents, which the one dying first, shall leave at death, to be enjoyed and used by the survivor, on condition of proper upkeep, but always without being obliged to furnish security. These are the agreements of the projected marriage, decreed and agreed upon by the intended in presence of their parents, for the execution of which they submit to the jurisdiction of the court. These acts have been interpreted to the parties, in presence of John Gruenenwald, factory worker residing at Bitschiller, and of Thiebaud Luthringer, factory work, residing at Molleau. These two witnesses took cognizance of these acts and have signed them, as also the intended man and wife, the step-father of the bride to be, and I, the notary.

Rose was born in Pittsburgh, probably on March 17,1846. ------------------------------------------------------------ After the marriage they made their home in her home village of Ranspach. Xavier II worked as a spinner in a textile factory. On June 19, 1830 their first child, Theresa, was born. In July of that year the July revolution occurred in which Charles X was deposed and Louis Phillipe replaced him on the throne of France. Six more children were born within a decade to Francis Xavier and Marie Anne while living in Ranspach in the canton of Saint Amarin. They were, Gothard (1832), Richard (1834), Eugene (1835), Seraphine (1840), Virginia (1842), and Francis Xavier III (1844). At this time France was in a state of economic crises and conditions were very hard for the working class families. Recent immigrants to America sent letters home to France describing the freedom, cheap land, equality and prosperity. A German farmer wrote from his new home in America..."If you wish to be happy and independent, then come here". On May 13, 1845, at Colmar, Francis Xavier Paulin II applied for and was granted a passport (see below) to leave France to go to New York in America. Three weeks later on June 4, Francis Xavier obtained the birth records (see below) of all his children. Shortly thereafter, he, his wife and seven children, ranging in age from one to fifteen, left their home of 16 years in Ranspach, the birthplace of their children, never to return. They traveled across France to the northeastern seaport of Le Havre. The journey from Ranspach was 350 miles.

The present passport is good for leaving the Kingdom. Done at Colmar, May 13, 1845. The Prefect, (signed) Brut. By the Perfect - The Councilor of the Prefacture.

The said declaration and presentation were made in the presence of Joseph Lifferlen, baker, aged 27, and of Francis FIeisch, joiner, aged 27, both of this place who have signed with us the present act, after the reading was made to them. Signed in the Register: Paulin, Lifferlen, Fleisch, and Thaler, Mayor. ****************************************** On June 23, 1845 Francis Xavier Paulin and his family boarded the ship "Alabama" and sailed from the port of Le Havre out into the English Channel. Leaving behind their fatherland, home, relatives and friends. They took with them only a few belongings, memories of what was, and dreams of a better life but accompanied by the uncertainties of what may lay ahead for them. The captain of the ship, Alabama, was a Mr. Wood. The voyage across the Atlantic was slow going and there would be many long days before they would see land again. In all they were 60 days at sea and on August 21,1845 they arrived in New York. Within seven months after arriving in New York Francis Xavier and his family moved to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Their last and eight child Rose, was born there on March 17, 1846. The family lived several years in Pittsburg and sometime between 1854 and 1857 they left and joined the migration westward. They traveled by wagon. About 100 miles into their trek they passed through the town of Zanesville, Ohio and here Xavier's wife, Marie Anne took sick and shortly died. They buried her in Zanesville. This had become more than just a passing stop on a long journey for Xavier and the eight children. After saying their final goodbye to their mother the family proceeded on their westward journey stopping in Cincinnati, Ohio for a time. Leaving Ohio they went across southern Indiana, most likely going through the town of New Albany and eventually Cannelton and Troy before arriving at the small town of Maxville where they settled and made their home. They had traveled over 750 miles inland from their first home in New York and over 3,000 miles from their native home in Alsace, France. What brought them to this part of southern Indiana is not known. There were many German speaking immigrants in the area and Francis Xavier may have heard about the area from acquaintances or he may have even had friends who had moved here and told him of it. Francis Xavier would live within a few miles of Maxeville for the remainder of his life. And numerous descendants of him and Marie Anne are living in the surrounding regions today. Maxville lies right at the mouth of the Anderson River where it empties into the Ohio. Today there are only a handful of building left and no sign gives an indication that there was a town here. After settling in Maxville, Francis Xavier made his living as a farmer. The family attended the Catholic Church of St. Pius in nearby Troy. It had been built in 1847. On September 21, 1857 Xavier's eldest son, Gothard married Louisa Marks, a resident of Troy in St. Pius Church by Rev. Michael Marendt. (At this time the tension was building in the country, resulting in the civil war of 1860).

We are 3rd cousins once removed. Your great-grandfather, Richard Paulin (father of Josephine Paulin Kemper) was a brother to my great-great-grandfather, Eugene Paulin. I assure you that I am not up to any mischief. I work in the Kentucky Room (History Department) of the Daviess County Public Library in Owensboro, KY (phone 270-684-0211). And since 1979 I have been researching our Paulin family history. I am working on what I hope will be a book on the Paulin family. I would like to ask for your help on the descendants of your grandparents, Bernard A. Kemper & Sopha Josephine Paulin. I have attached a file of some data I already have on their family.
