---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------

Michel Johannes "Jacks" YAX

Michel Johannes Jacks was born in Germany in 1709 and died July 8,
1793 in Detroit Mi. In Germany he met Catherine Herbinnes who was
born in 1726 in Germany, and died January 1789 in Detroit Mi. The
story told is that Michel and Catherine's relationship was frowned
upon by their families due to the fact that one was from a upper
class family and the other was from a lower class family. So they
left Germany and sailed to the United States some where between 1740
and September 1741, on the ship Lydia where it docked in Philadelphia
PA. Michel changed his last name to YAX, upon entering the United
States. They were married about April 1745 in Philadelphia PA.
Michel attempted to walk from PA. to the Mississippa at the place
called Pointe Coupee on the Louisiana coast to establish a small
colony of Germans. He lost his way and after many privations and
trials he was captured by the Ottawa's who stole from him and sold
his wife to Commandant de Longueuil. In 1751 they received a French
land grant which is now know as Private Claims #586 and 344 Grosse
Pointe, and supplies. (The following is a list of supplies that
Michel Yax received from the King's store.) 1 plow, 1 axe, 1 hoe,
1 sickle, 1 scythe, 2 augers, 7 chickens, 1 sow, 8lbs lead, 4lbs
powder, 2lbs rice, 6lbs flour, 1 pot of wine, 80 nails. His wife,
Catherine Herbinne, deserves to be rescued from oblivion. She had
evidently been brought up as a Lutheran, and had remained such
despite her marriage to Michel Yax. Some years after her arrival in
Detroit she was received into the Church, and thus became in all
likelihood, the first convert from Protestantism in Michigan.
To the little French Catholic community, and to Father Bocquet, that
was an event of a lifetime, and he recorded it in quite the longest
entry devoted to an individual in the pages of St. Anne's register.
It was on Passion Sunday, March 16, 1755 aat the end of Vespers, in
the presence of M. Dumay, captain of the troops of his Majesty,
Knight of the military order of St. Louis and commanding officer
for the King in this fort and its dependencies, and of a great
number of other persons of whom the leading ones signed. The said
Catherine Herbinne declared she could neither read nor write.
From this time down to 1830 there is scarcely any trace to indicate
the presence of German Catholics in Detroit. Michel was the first
German Settler at the Detroit River.

Michel and Catherine had 11 children.
