Hello, Yes, we worked this couple before, but we never found something about the marriage of their kids, neither about their death (Jean-Baptise m Isabelle Outre (Hutre)). So someone published on Ancestry.com that Jean-Baptiste Lejeune is dead in 1796 at Opelousas. Is it true? Did someone have this record?

Andre I am a little confused. I have seen Blaise as a dit for Jean-Baptiste. This family has both! What the Acadian Memorial at St-Martinville has on him & two of his brothers. Some of his sisters also made it to Louisiane they use 1/1/ year if they do not have exact date http://www.acadianmemorial.org/english/ensembleencoreset.html Click on lifelines put in family name (It seems to work better I do not use first name) you may need to pull the screen down to click the start search button click on the first name you want to see. Back did not work for me so you may have to repeat entire process If you have some additions share with us & we will forward to the memorial. Paul Le B l'Ascension Louisiane PS next email SWLA CD what I can find on His children ============================================ Given Names: Jean Vincent (actually Jean Baptiste) Surname:LeJeune Sobriquet: fils Date of Birth:1749 Birthplace: Acadia Baptised At: Date of Baptism: Mother: Marguerite Trahan Father:Jean Baptiste LeJeune, père Marriage: Married Isabelle Outre (Elizabeth Hooter), daughter of Michel Outre and Mary Barbara Kimball, ca. 1749. Isabelle Outre was born ca. 1762; her family was from Fayette County, Pennsylvania. They appear to have traveled to Louisiana via Natchez, Mississippi. Children: Marie (baptized October 24, 1779), Jean Baptiste (baptized September 2, 1781, at the age of three weeks), Anne (born May 12, 1786), Céleste (born January 13, 1788), Élizabeth (born November 14, 1793), Barbe (born June 24, 1796) Exile: Exiled to Maryland, but he does not appear in the 1763 list of Acadians in Maryland. Among the Acadian exiles and German Catholics who pooled money to buy passage to Louisiana, late 1768. The passengers soon discovered that the vessel upon which they were to sail was unseaworthy, and they were obliged to refit the ship. Departed Port Tobacco, Maryland, for Louisiana aboard the Britain, January 5, 1769. The ship's provisions were dangerously low when the ship sailed. Arrived off the Louisiana coast on February 21, but the ship's commander refused to put ashore; instead the vessel sailed aimlessly throughout the Gulf of Mexico until the passengers, who had been reduced to eating rats and shoe leather, mutinied and forced the sailors to make landfall as quickly as possible. Upon landing at Matagorda Bay, the crew and passengers were arrested and detained as smugglers by Spanish authorities at Goliad, Texas. The Acadians subsequently worked at local ranches during days, returning to their detention center in the presidio at night, until their release on August 11, 1769. The Acadians subsequently traved overland to Natchitoches, where they arrived October 24, then to the Iberville District. Many of the Acadians in this party continued on to the Opelousas District, where they finally settled. Louisiana: Accompanied by his brother Blaise at the time of their arrival at Natchitoches, October 24, 1769. He is listed as a fuselier in the Opelousas District militia, June 8, 1777, but he does not appear in the 1777 census of the Opelousas District. He is listed in the 1779 muster roll of the Opelousas District militia. This suggests that he served in the 1779 Spanish military campaign against Manchac and Baton Rouge in British West Florida during the American Revolution. His name is rendered as J. Bte Le Jeune in the 1779 list. Identified as a resident of the Avoyelles District on October 19, 1788. His two youngest children were baptized at the Catholic church in present-day Mansura, indicating that he and his family moved to the Avoyelles District around 1790.

Blaise LeJeune received a full Spanish title to the Iberville property in 1774. Subsequently settled in the Opelousas District.

Sold a parcel of land in the Opelousas district to Joseph LeJeune, July 23, 1783. Identified as a fusilier (i.e., a private) in the July 30, 1785, muster roll of the Opelousas militia unit. The 1788 census of the Opelousas District indicates that he was the head of a household that included four unidentified men of unspecified ages. He and his family owned twenty-four cows and seven horses. They occupied a tract of land with eight arpents frontage. The census indicates that he and his family resided in the Bellevue area of the Opelousas District. According to the May 1796 census of the Opelousas District, he was the head of a household that included one boy under the age of fifteen years, two females under the age of fifteen years, three males fifteen years of age or older, and one male fifteen years of age or older. He and his family owned no slaves. They resided in the Faquetaic area of the Opelousas District. Circumstances of Death:Blaise LeJeune is believed to have died ca. 1812.

Children: First marriage: Marie Josèphe "Josette" (baptized June 29, 1783, at the age of three months), Joseph, fils (born August 29, 1784), Jean Baptiste (born march 26, 1786), Marguerite (born May 1, 1788), Suzanne (Susanne) "Susette" (born September 17, 1789), Pierre (Peter) (born January 20, 1791), Gilbert (Hubert) (born March 22, 1783), Jacques (James) (baptized June 22, 1796), Eugénie "Jane" (baptized June 15, 1798), Louise (Eliza, Lise) (baptized October 9, 1803, at the age of three months), Caroline (born May 13, 1805) Exile: He and his sister Nanette (probably Anne) are identified as orphans at Port Tobacco, Maryland, in a list of Acadians dated 1763. He was among the Acadian exiles and German Catholics who pooled money to buy passage to Louisiana, late 1768. The passengers soon discovered that the vessel upon which they were to sail was unseaworthy, and they were obliged to refit the ship.

The Acadians subsequently traved overland to Natchitoches, where they arrived October 24, then to the Iberville District. Many of the Acadians in this party continued on to the Opelousas District, where they finally settled. Louisiana: Upon his arrival at the Natchitoches post on October 24, 1769, he was identified as an orphan living with the family of Honoré Trahan (his uncle) and Marie Corporon. He and his siblings subsequently established themselves at the Iberville District, where they resided until around 1774. Subsequently moved with his family to the Opelousas District. He appears as a fourteen-year-old in the 1777 census of the Opelousas District. He is listed in the 1779 muster roll of the Opelousas District militia. This suggests that he served in the 1779 Spanish military campaign against Manchac and Baton Rouge in British West Florida during the American Revolution. His name is rendered as Joseph Le Jeune in the 1779 list. Purchased a parcel of land in the Opelousas district from Blaise LeJeune, July 23, 1783. Identified as a fusilier (i.e., a private) in the July 30, 1785, muster roll of the Opelousas militia unit. A deposition by John Hay indicates that Joseph LeJeune resided on a disputed tract of land in the Opelousas district from 1786 to 1789. According to the May 1796 census of the Opelousas District, he was the head of a household including four males under the age of fifteen years, three females under the age of fifteen years, two males fifteen years of age or older, and one female fifteen years of age or older. He and his family owned one slave boy under the age of fifteen years and one slave girl under the age of fifteen years. In 1800, he and his family reportedly owned 1,040 acrres of land in the Fakaitaic Prairie (near present-day Eunice, La.) and seven slaves. In 1810, he and his wife owned ten slaves. Joseph LeJeune and his children Anglicized their surname, identifying themselves as members of the Young family in the 1810 census of Louisiana. They and their descendants have continued to identify themselves as Youngs to the present. (Joseph LeJeune did, however, identify himself by his birth name when his second marriage was validated by the Catholic church in 1843.) On September 20, 1821, Joseph Young and Patsy Hay partitioned their property among their ten surviving children. At that time, their estate included fifteen slaves. Joseph Young and his second wife were living near bayou Plaquemine at the time of his death. Circumstances of Death: His burial record indicates that he was 110 years old at the time of his death.

So someone published on Ancestry.com that Jean-Baptiste Lejeune is dead in 1796 at Opelousas. Is it true? Did someone have this record? Best regards, Andre
