* Denotes estimated date based on available records. Josephine is listed in her baptism as being 4 months old in 1858. By 1860, Josephine would have been roughly two years old. She is not listed with her mother or anywhere in the 1860 inventory. Because of this, it is estimated that she died before 1860.

See Francoise's (bn. 1821) page for additional information on Josephine's siblings.
