- Hello Patrick,
The best information that I have about Tarsel Duso's age is from the Michigan Death Indexing System. Her date of death is listed as 24 May 1886, 88 years old. This was recorded 24 Apr 1887. It seems the 1797 date could be correct.

I might also add that we often get a profound respect for our ancestors when we search their lives. William, a farmer, suffered 45 years with a painful and debilitating heart disease, well described today, but in his time, the symptoms were, no doubt, often considered signs of malingering by a lazy person. At least twice, the federal inspector in his case wrote into the boiler plate language of the document "alleged heart disease". How angry and frustrated William must have been to fight for, at one point, "$8 a month" disability which in 1900 went up to a princely sum of "$24 per month". How infuriating it must have been to gather up again and again new witnesses from Erie, Newport and Kawkawlin, from different times of his life. Virtually every doctor who attended him had also died or disappeared. If it were not for this disease, I believe he could have lived as long as his father.
From the information obtained from the Joseph Joel Dusseau log, it looks like Tarcy, Jean-Baptiste DuSault's wife, was older than he was, born in 1797, while he was born in 1803. If the 1797 date is right, she also died at age 90 in in 1887 (according to my records.) Is this true?

Patrick,
I'm going to start calling you Sherlock Holmes. "Rheumatic heart disease" certainly fits the symptoms that are described in William's pension file.
Hopefully tomorrow I will get time to call the National Archives about getting the missing page of William's deposition.
I'll be in Texas for the next two weeks. I use oalozo3839@earthlink.net here, but I check the other addresses daily. The Indiana email address is oal@ndwave.com, and the olozo@prodigy.net is going to be eliminated.
