Josephine was baptized under the Spanish version of her name, Josette on July 23, 1791 along with her twin brother, Antoine Fruge. The record indicates that the ceremony was provided but that the children were previously baptized at home. The actual date of birth is not stated.1
On October 12 1805 Josephine married Francois Marcantel, the son of Francois & Marianne Rondeau.2
The date of 16 Jul 1833 as the date of death was on her profile prior to my adoption of it. I have no knowledge of her death at this time.
