Biography

Jean Baptiste Ory was born about 1756 in Frederick, Maryland Colony, son of Nicolas Ory and Anna Gerard Strassbach.

Immigration: 24 Oct 1769 Natchitoches, Natchitoches, LA ^[1][2]

Excerpt from an article by Glen Conrad See entire article here

Actually, in October, Borme at Natchitoches had recorded seven German families and six German bachelors. We know from census records taken shortly after the settlement of the Germans in Iberville that the "missing" family was that of Jacob Miller.(17) Miller, his wife, and four children apparently settled in St. John Parish and subsequently moved to Opelousas.

"The six families were Nicolas Marcoff, his wife Christine, and six children; Nicolas Ory, his wife Christine, seven children and an orphan; Joseph Basbler, wife Suzanne, and four children; Adam La Maur (Talieur), his wife Catherine, and five children; Andreas Raeser, wife, and six children: and Phillip Englehardt and his wife, Marie Magdelene Ory. Also joining the six families were six bachelors: Andre Meche, Daniel Muin, Henry Thomas, Christian Pringle, Jean Legueur, and Antoine Murguier.(19)"

"We know, according to Deiller, that Marcoff (or Manhoffer) was married to Christine Ory; that Phillip Englehardt was married to Marie Magdelene Ory; that Henry Thomas married Barbara Ory; and that Catherine Ory subsequently married Paul Sharp, who joined the little German colony at Manchak a bit later.(20) (Based on additional information): . . Catherine Ory had earlier married Paul Sharp in Maryland, and this family accompanied Jean Baptiste Ory and Phillip Englehart when they returned from settling Nicolas Ory's estate in Maryland. Normally, an account of German immigrants to Louisiana could have ended at this point; this, however, is but a beginning. The years down to the American Revolution would witness a continuing migration and settlement of German families in Iberville."

Jean Baptiste (~24) married Marie Eve Hoffman (~15) on 30 Jan 1781 in St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, German Coast, Louisiana.^[3] Their children were:

Jean Baptiste's son was Jean Baptiste Ory.
