Joseph Colyott
(Colyotte/Caliot)
Joseph Colyott (my ggg-grandfather) was born in 1822 in Missouri (probably
Fredericktown, Madison Co - see map below left). Though
no definite proof has yet been found, I'm certain he is a descendant of Nicholas Caillott dit LaChance I & Marianne
Giard.
One census listed his father as born in Illinois in 1800, even though the
Caillot family had moved to the Missouri side of the Mississippi River in
1787.
I believe that Joseph's father was Nicholas
LaChance III and Cecile (Chevallier) for the following reasons:
1. The 1830 census shows that Nicholas III had a son Joseph's age.
2. In 1830 Nicholas III was living in Liberty twp, Madison Co, Mo.
In the same township was Nimrod
Brewer, father of Polly, who Joseph latter married. The only other LaChance
in that township was Francis J. LaChance who was Nicholas' son. (see
map below right)
3. In 1850 Joseph & Polly were living not far from his
sister Louisa, who had their father Nicholas III living with her family. And
right next door to Joseph was Frances (Lacomb) Lachance and children [Frances
was the widow of Francois Lachance, who was probably Joseph's brother].
4. Joseph Colyott's grandson, Joseph M. Willard, left 2 names in some of
his reminiscing before he died: "Susan Chevalier & Arthur Henri Chevalier,
1831-1914". (I have not been able to find these names anywhere, but
it seems that they would be related to Cecile Chevallier.)
5. Joseph Colyott named his first daughter Mary Louisa, maybe after his
sister (though his mother-in-law was probably also Mary Louisa.)

I wonder if Joseph didn't have some trouble with his father's family. A
descendant in daughter Mary Louisa's line said that the story in their family
was that he went to court and changed his name. The fact that he changed
his name (to Caliot or Colyott instead of Lachance), and that he didn't use
any Caliot/LaChance names for his children, might suggest some family estrangement.
He didn't name any of his children Nicholas or Cecile [which is very unusual].
Polly actually had a brother named Nicholas, and they still didn't use this
name! Several names from Polly's family were used: William, John, George,
Eliza, Jane. Polly's parents were Nimrod and Mary Louisa and both these
names were used. [Alexander though may have been a Caliot/Lachance
name.]
Joseph married about 1843 to Mary “Polly”
BREWER, who was born in 1823 in Mo., the daughter of Mary Louisa & Nimrod
Brewer. There is no record of Joseph & Polly's marriage in Madison
Co., Mo. where the Brewers were living in 1830, 1840, & 1850.

Though several of his neighbors held slaves, Nicholas had none.
This Nicholas III had a son the age of Joseph. Also nearby was Francis
J. Lachance who I believe married Nicholas' daughter Marie Louisa. Also in
the same twp was Nimrod Brewer, whose daughter, Polly, married Joseph Colyott.

In 1850 Joseph
& Polly were in Madison County, Mo. (District 54) with their first 3 children.
The only other Caliots in this area
were his brother's widow and a sister. It is interesting that they
also go by Caliot, not Lachance.

In 1860 they were living in Reynolds County, Black River Township.
They seemed to have some connection to Oregon County, Mo. because their daughters,
Mary Louisa and Sarah Jane, both married men from there in 1861 & 1863.
This is probably because Polly's sister, Eliza Brewer married William Sampson
Huddleston and moved to Oregon Co. in 1848. Polly’s parents, Nimrod
& Mary Louisa Brewer, lived near them in Madison Co. in 1850 and then
also in Reynolds Co. in 1860 & 1870.
In 1870 they were still in Reynolds Co. (post office: Barnesville) where
Joseph was farming.
In 1880 they were still in Reynolds Co., but this time they were living
in Lesterville, where Joseph worked in a mill (probably a sawmill since they
are abundant in that area).
Joseph died Dec. 15, 1897 (burial place unknown). In 1900 Polly was living
in Iron County with her daughter, Mary Louisa Aldridge, and her family.
Polly died Dec. 25, 1905.
Children: There was a 21-year span in the births of Joseph & Polly's
children. Mary Louisa was married 4 years & had a 3-year-old son before
her youngest brother was born. Sarah Jane had been married 2 years and her
first son, Joseph Martin Willard, was born the same month as her youngest
brother, John George Colyott.
1. Mary
Louisa Colyott
Mary (Maria) Louisa was born July 7, 1844, Madison Co., Mo., she may have
been named for her grandmother Mary Louisa Brewer. She was on the 1850 census
as “Louisa” and on the 1900 census as “Mary L.”
“Louisa Colleyott” was not quite 17 years old when she married 1st June
27, 1861, Oregon Co, Mo to George Mills Goodwin (half-brother of William
Sampson Huddleston, her aunt husband). They had one son, Joseph. 
Louisa & her sister Sarah Jane must have gone to Oregon Co., Mo to
visit with their aunt Eliza (Brewer) who had married Wm. Sampson Huddleston
and lived there, because both Louisa and Sarah married men in Oregon Co.
George evidently died before 1866. The circumstances & time
are unknown, but those years during the Civil War were very tumultous and
dangerous for anyone living in Missouri.
Mary Louisa married again in Iron Co, Mo, June 26, 1866 to John J. Aldridge
(b Oct 1844 Tn). In 1876 they were in Liberty twp, and in 1900 they were in
Iron Co, Mo with her mother Polly Collyott living with them. Mary Louisa
died Dec. 23, 1905, Iron Co., Mo.; buried Cove
Cemetery near Arcadia. John died Nov 4, 1906.
Children of Mary & George Goodwin:
1a) Joseph Goodwin,
b Mar 21, 1862, m Arminda Key, Aug. 21, 1881, Iron Co., MO; d 1955. He was

Aldridge, b July 9, 1867, Iron Co., Mo.; m Dec. 2, 1885 in Iron

George had m 1st in 1875 to Lydia Ann Good & had 2 children:
William Solomon “Billy” (1876) & Mary Jane (b 1878, d 1883 soon after
Lydia).
Mary Elizabeth died June 7, 1920, Annapolis, Mo.; buried

Her mother had another sister, Eliza who married Wm. Sampson Huddleston
and lived in Oregon Co. In 1863 when Sarah was 15, she married John Willard, whom she probably met on a

Oregon Co.

"The death angel came and claimed for its own, Jasper Allen Colyott, of
Glover, Mo., Monday eve at 3:25 o'clock. He suffered very much for nine days,
from pneumonia before death came to his release. He was 72 years old and would
have been 73 on Feb. 14. But God saw fit to take him on Jan. 8, 1934. All
of his children were at his bedside when he breathed his last. He asked his
son Gentry to lift him up, and then he asked to be laid down, then a few
breaths and he was gone.
"It was so hard to give dear father up, but we all hope to meet him in
the Sweet Bye and Bye. He held to his daughter Jocie's hand two days before
he left and said: 'O, Babe, you are so faithful in staying with me,' then
he looked up and [said] 'Oh, my Savior I'll meet.'
"Poor, Good Daddy is gone but not forgotten or ever will be by his children.
He belonged to the United Baptist Church at Big Creek and was a faithful member
until death. We all wish to thank the people for sitting up with him at night,
especially the nearby neighbors who were so good to him. We wish to thank
Mr. Ancel White, the undertaker, for his kind[ness] and again to thank Leo
Asher, the minister, who preached his funeral and spoke consoling words to
us in this dark hour of sorrow.
"He was laid to rest by the side of his dear wife, Mrs. Cordelia Colyott
who passed away 5 years ago last August.
"He leaves three sons and three daughters. Also one brother and a host
of friends and relatives, and seventeen grandchildren, and three great grandchildren.
His sons are G.J. and M.T. Colyott of Glover and W.C. Colyott of Lesterville.
His daughters are Mrs. Violet Miller, Lesterville, Mrs. Geo. Ebert, Glover,
and Mrs. Sam Jordan, Sabula. His brother is Geo. Colyott of Glover.
Tears from my eyes flowing,
Deep sorrow shades my brow
Cold in the grave he's sleeping,
I have no daddy now.
His youngest daughter,
Mrs. Jocie Jordan "
