DEUR, Pierre FRA>DE>MD>IA>IL
I am a descendent of Pierre (Jean Pierre or Peter) DEUR.He immigrated to the US in 1847 according to family lore.He was in Delaware City, DE in 1853 as documented by a baptismal record from Elkton , MD for his son Peter DEUR b. 06 April 1853 (spelled DORR in the St. Xavier records).Pierre was killed in a coal mining accident before July 1870, most likely in IL where son Joseph was born in April 1863.His wife was Annette FROMONT from Parroy, France.Other children I have documented are Mary Philomena b. 1855/6 in IA and Charles b. 02 October 1854 in MD. I believe Pierre DEUR may be the brother of Joseph DEUR who settled in Pottawamie Co., IA in 1859.I would be very interested in hearing from anyone having connections to this DEUR family.
