From his death certificate, filed by his daughter in 1850: "[O]n this day, to-wit the twenty fifth of March in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty...personally appeared Mrs. Barbara Klipfel, widow by first marriage of Charles Fields and by second marriage of John McMillen, residing in this city, who by these presents declares that her father Henry Klipfel, a native of Nehweiler, (Lower Rhine), 'France,' aged thirty eight years, died in this city of New Orleans in the month of September eighteen hundred and nineteen. The deceased was married to Mrs. Barbara Mayers..."
No, we don't know why "France" is in quotes, but that's how it's written.
