    1. Re: [ACADIAN] Quebedeau l'Espagnol

    3. Hope this is not too long. Karen (Theriot Reader) First Generation 1. Joseph QUEVEDO dit L'Espagnol was born about 1700/1705 in , , , Spain. He died1 before Mar 1745. Joseph was counted in a census2,3 in 1726 in , , LA. He was counted in a census4 in 1732 in , , LA. NAME: Posting at ACADIAN-CAJUN-L by Don Landry (Don2717@aol.com) in Aug 2006. The Québédeaux surname comes from Quevedo in the region of Andalusia in the province of Malago [sic] in Southern Spain. The Quevedo or Québédeaux family imigrated [sic] to the Louisiana Territory thru France which causes a great deal of confusion. All Québédeaux families are related the spelling was changed as French priests, who kept official records, spelled the name phoneticlly, as it would be in French. The principal variants of the name Québédeaux include: Quévédo - Cavédo - Québédeau - Quibédeaux - Le Québédeaux - Québodeaux - Québodeau - Kébodeau - Quibodeaux - Kuibodeaux - Kibodeaux, etc., dit L'Espagniol [sic]. Later posting in Sep 2007: "It is believed that Joseph Quebedeaux, his wife Marie Antoine Beau and their 2 daughters, Marie Joseph, Quebedeau and Marie Jeanne Quebedeau came to the Illinois country in the Renaud Concession. It is not known if Joseph Quevedo actually worked for Phillippe François Renault in the lead mines. Some info on Joseph Quebedeaux was found in the Illinois Regional Archives Depository (IRAD) Unfortunately the information consists of only brief card index information, such as the "Contract to hire Quebedo by La Pointe" in the year 1744. It is not known what he was hired to do. (Missy Burke's website) Joseph married Marie Anne Antoine BEAU daughter of Francois BEAU. Marie was born about 1703 in Paris, , , France. BIRTH: Marie-Antoine Beau was born in the diocese of Paris in France. (Brown ?

Charles served in the military14 Militia in 1774 in Pointe Coupee, Pointe Coupee, LA. BIRTH: If son of Joseph dit L'Espagnol, must have been born before his father's death around 1745.

On daughter Felicite's baptismal record in 1772, mother's name was Marie Francoise QUEBEDEAU BLONDIN. !BIRTH-PARENTS-DEATH: Posting by Don Landry to ACADIAN-CAJUN-L in Mar 2003. Marie- Françoise Québédeaux, daughter of Joseph Québédeaux dit l'Espagnol and Marie-Anne (Marianne) Beau, born 21 Nov 1747 [sic] at Prairie de St- Philippe, parish of Sainte Anne of Fort Chartres in Colonial Illinois (p. 230 ? LOUISIANA POPULATION ? des Forts Francais d'Amerique ? Tome II). Since Marie- Francoise was 80 years old at the time of her death, it is assumed that her year of birth would have been about 1724. (Hebert's SWLR v. 1B, p. 601 refers to SM Ch. v. 4, #388). She died at her son Nicolas PROVOST's of Bayou Teych. buried 31 Dec 1804 at age 80 yrs. Fr. Gabriel ISABEY.

The marriage was recorded in Fort de Chartres Register, Transcript 23; Kaskaskia Mss., Private Papers, IV. Marie Fran=E7oise Qu=E9b=E9deaux and Nicolas Prevost, (dit Blondin), moved to Louisiana with her brother Charles Qu=E9b=E9deaux, where another marriage contract took place at Pointe Coup=E9e on June 6, 1752, possibly at Morganza. Marie married21,22 Nicolas PREVOST dit Blondin son of Claude PREVOST and Marianne RORNIE on 27 Jul 1745 in New Chartres, Kaskaskia, IL.

PARENTS-MARRIAGES: Belting, KASKASKIA UNDER THE FRENCH REGIME (Polyanthos, 1975, pp. 109-110), under Nicola Blondin, says that Nicolas Provot dit Blondin was the son of Claude Provot and Marianne of Boulogne [or surname BOULOGNE?]. He was in Illinois as early as 1736, for on 24 Mar of that year he was granted 3 arpents of land at St. Philippe. His first wife was Marie Therese Kier (?) by whom he had children. On 27 Jul 1745, he married Marie Francoise Quebedeau, daughter of Joseph Quebedeau and Marie Anne Antoine Beau. (Fort de Chartres Register, Transcript, 23, Kaskaskia Mss., Private Papers, IV). Belting found records for only three children born of this marriage: Francoise, Louis, and Jean Baptiste, but has no doubt there were more. The names of Joseph and Madeline Provot appear in the baptismal register as sponsors in 1762 and are probably children of Nicolas. Nicolas and Marie had the following children: 8 M i.

    3. This is all very good research on Quebedeaux especially the references Let me copy an email; from another list e-mail received on the Acadian- Cajun mailing list 10/27/2007 regarding the origination of the Quebedeaux name. Quevedo in colonial Illinois Hello, I've noticed internet inquires about the origin of the Quebedeau name in the Mississippi River Valley. I believe that the Quevedo you are searching for, which has been traced back to French colonial Illinois, was a Spaniard with mining experience in Mexico and captured by the French at one of the sieges of the Pensacola Fort in Florida. He apparently advised French mining ventures in eastern Missouri. They searched for silver but found lead in great quantities. I've quoted extensively below from the most specific sources found.

[Letter from De Lamothe Cadillac to Pntchartrain, Oct. 26, 1713] [Following a discussion about the prospect of finding silver and gold in the Illinois and Missouri country of the Louisiana colony.] "It is not to be doubted that we are in a country of gold and silver mines, but the problem is to find them, and how can we find them if we don not seek them, and how shall we seek them if we do not have the experience and the knowledge of them, and how in short can we succeed in this if nobody is willing to bear the expense of it? There are several convict miners in exile at Pensacola who greatly desire to free themselves from this servitude, who would ask for nothing better than to come into the service of the French for the enterprise of this search, but once more it is necessary to make advances which I am not in a condition to do for my part.

[Claude-Charles] Dutisne, ensign of the company of Canada, arrived at Mobile to aid M.. Crozat's operations. He brought samples of ores taken in the neighborhood of Kaskaskia. M. de Lamothe assayed the samples and found that they contained a large quantity of silver. He decided therefore, to visit the mines, and, without publicizing his intentions, set out for Illinois country at the beginning of 1715. Upon his arrival there, he inquired of the Canadians who had given the samples to M. Dutisne concerning the location of the site where they had extracted them. He was astonished to learn that the samples had come from the Spaniards in Mexico, and that it was only in jest that the Canadians had said that they were taken in the vicinity of Kaskaskia. M. de Lamothe did not visit the site where some lead mines were supposed to be located, which was fourteen leagues inland on the western side of the river." p. 66 "October, 1715.

Here follows what I have been able to learn about this affiar from a person who is well acquainted with it, and who has resided for several years on the spot. In the year 1719, the Sieur de Lochon being sent by the West-Indian company in quality of founder, having dug in a place which had been marked out to him, drew up a pretty large quantity of ore, a pound whereof, which took up four days in melting, produced as they say two drams of silver; but some have suspected him of putting in this quantity himself. ... Disgusted with a labour which was so unprofitable, he returned to France. The company, persuaded of the truth of the indications which had been given them, and that the incapacity of the founder had been the sole cause of their bad success, sent in his room a Spaniard called Antonio, who had been taken at the siege of Pensacola, had afterwards been a galley-slave, and boasted much of his having wrought in a mine at Mexico. They gave him very considerable appointments, but he succeeded no better than had done the Sieur de Lochon. ... [His silver mining was unsuccessful.] About this time arrived a company of the king's miners, under the direction of one La Renaudiere, who resolving to begin with the lead mine, was able to do nothing; because neither he himself nor any of his company were in the least acquainted with the construction of furnaces. ...La Renaudiere and his miners not being able to produce any lead, a private company undertook the mines of Marameg, and the Sieur Renaud [Renault] one of the directors, superintended them with care." *************** Robert De Berardinis, ed., "1732 Census of Illinois," ISGS Quarterly, Vol. 32, No. 3.

This silver lies concealed in small invisible particles, in a stone of a chestnut colour...The assay of this ore was made by a Portuguese, who had worked at the mines of New Mexico, whence he made his escape. He appeared to be master of his business, and afterwards visited other mines farther north, but he ever gave the preference to that of the Red River."
