About Marie Francesca Estella Antoinette Geyelin
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=65744108
The only child of Antony Laussat, who wrote "An Essay on Equity" while still a student. He died at 27, leaving his young wife and baby daughter, Estella. When Estella was 9, her mother married Judge John Richter Jones, who adopted the child, and soon Estella was a big sister to four younger half-siblings. At age 22, she married the young French hydraulic engineer, Emile Camile Geyelin, and the two made a home together at 4227 Chestnut Street in West Philadelphia, not far from the Fairmount Waterworks where one of his turbines was installed.
Their only child was a son, Henry Laussat Geyelin, who earned some fame at the University of Pennsylvania by being the first to wear the red and the blue. (Henry became a lawyer and had 8 children.) Estella often had relatives living in the Chestnut Street house with her. Emile was away a lot for his work, and the relatives, usually ailing, gave her companionship and a purpose.
