Jean Frédéric Lebeau was born ca. 1815, before his parents married. Such "premature" births were not uncommon at the time. He was later reported to have been "of Friedrichdorf," but most likely he was born in Homburg, now known as Bad Homburg, his mother's home village. His birth was not recorded in Fredrichdorf, and records from Homburg are not available.4,5
