>From the Web Site of the Old Mission of Santa Inez: The Mission was founded on September 17, 1804 by Father Estevan Tapis, and was named in honor of Saint Agnes, an early Christian martyr of the fourth century. The Spanish for Agnes is Inés, hence the name of the church; the American Yankees anglicized the spelling of the Spanish pronunciation and named the town Santa Ynez.

BTW, someone try a SWLR search on "Inez Broussard" as I think "Ines" is "Inez," not Agnes, but that's just IMHO.

SM Ch.: v.4, #11 is Agnes Broussard m Pierre Vincent. Her parents match. No sign of it being double ceremony. I checked all Broussards in v 1a book & found no second couple. January not June?

Fr. Bernardo de DEVA (SM Ch.: v.4, #31) =============================================== I see a mention of St-Bernard Parish of Attakapas in a St-Martinville register. Is it a chapel/mission? Where is it? (Breaux Bridge?) =============================================== The two married (adult?) VEILLONare Louis (Surgeon of New Orleans) & Francois both are sons of Jean & Francoise Aubert. Some confusion between VEILLON (at st-Martinville) & Meuillon (at Opel.) I wonder if one is a dit name? It looks to me like two completely different families. Who knows? =============================================== ADNO v 13 1818-1819 p 429 has Honorate (your Pierre Honore?) & Ana Sanchez daughter Francisca married in 1819. If married at expected 18 she was born 1800-1801 or as early as 14 1805-1806. They either married late or the contract was after the fact? Lots of things to check Any ideas??????
