Hi cousins, I can add a couple of details re: Pierre Alexis Nezat who married Euphrasie Coulon Devillier. Euphrasie/sine's first marriage was to Napoleon Legere (Fr. Hebert's SWLR, v. 8, p. 320, citing Opel. Ch. [St. Landry Catholic Church, Opelousas, LA], v. D, #187, name given as “Euphrosine Coulon DEVILLIER,” 16 Jan. 1866.) Napoleon died (succession date is 31 Dec 1870), so Euphrasie or Euphrosine's marriage to Pierre Alexis Nezat was in 1871 or later. One Ancestry tree has 16 Apr 1874 in Opelousas, but I don't know if that's correct. Pierre Alexis & Euphrasie are in the 1880 US Census here: 3rd Ward, St. Landry Parish, LA P.A. Nezat age 35, W M, b. LA, parents b. LA, farmer. Household: Euphrosie, 29 (spouse) Clara, 6 Olida, 9 mos. Alexis Legere, 13 [This is Euphrasie/sine's son w/Napoleon Legere. Family tradition has it that Nezat did not want to raise his stepson, so Alexis's uncle Constant Legere (my great-grandpa) took him in.] Liz ________________________________ From: "pleblan@aim.com" <pleblan@aim.com> To: acadian@rootsweb.com Sent: Mon, April 5, 2010 5:40:45 PM Subject: Re: [ACADIAN] Nezat family -- lookup Cousins I got lost.
