I found the following in Selected Acadian and Louisiana Church Records Vol 1 By Rt. Rev. Msgr. George A. Bodin Helene Brown (OP) m. Denis Nevill (Ireland) No dates were given Marguerite Nevill (Natchez) (Denis and Helene Brown) m. James Resin Bouie No dates were given James Resin (Resin & Helve Johns) m. Marguerite Nevill (OP) No dates were given Children for James and Marguerite's children were b. in 1815, 1816 and 1817 This seems a little early for the family you are researching but was all I could find in the books I have. Wish I could help.

History of > the First United Methodist Church: The first Methodist circuit rider in > this area was a Virginian, Elisha W. Bowman. Reverend Bowman was > appointed "Missionary to Louisiana" with instructions to begin in New > Orleans. He arrived there in 1805 and preached on the streets of that > city on three Sundays. Reverend Bowman left New Orleans with the > intention of reaching a settlement of Americans two hundred miles to > the west and northwest of New Orleans. His journey to this settlement > named Opelousas took him through a cypress swamp, four lakes, and a > large bay. He landed near the mouth of what he called "River O'Tash" > (Teche). About eighty miles up the stream he reached a large French > Settlement (Probably St. Martinville), crossed Vermilion River and > finally came to the Opelousas country. In 1805 Reverend Bowman > established the original Methodist circuit of Louisiana, and formed the > first Methodist congregation of the "state of Opelousas. " Among the > circuit riders to serve the area in the next few years were: Thomas > Lasley, Benjamin Edge, John Henningen, and John S. Ford. John R. > McIntosh was appointed to "Lower Vermilion". This circuit probably > included Vermilionville in 1837. Records show that by 1845 the > Methodist congregation in Vermilion- ville (Now Lafayette) had grown > sufficiently large to require the services of a regular minister. The > Reverend William F. Brown, a pioneering minister, was appointed to > serve New Town (New Iberia) and Lafayette. There had been no church > building, as such, in Lafayette until 1858. Prior to that time services > were held in private homes. Mr. Benjamin Porter Paxtin donated a site > at the corner of Congress and Washington streets upon which a church > was soon built. The first trustees were Gideon Stephens, James > Higginbotham, and Dr. John W. Chevis. In the years that followed the > church continued to grow. During the Civil War the First Methodist > Church was used to accommodate the wounded soldiers. Years later, under > the Leadership of Reverend Isaac T. Reames, the church was renovated > and remodeled. Reverend Reames, a devoted and faithful shepherd did > most of the work himself. He was responsible for the building of the > parsonage at the corner of St. John and Congress Streets. This church > continued to serve the congregation until 1925 when the present > building was erected. Many people who are at present members of this > church recall the 'little church on Washington Street"; many attended > Sunday School and church services there. It was during the pastorate of > Reverend Harry W. Rickey, that sentiment was created for the building > of a new church. This senti- ment grew stronger and more determined > under the leadership of Reverend Leon I.
