Hi Gordon, Per Gerard Marc BRAUD, Les Acadiens en France, Nantes et Paimboeuf 1775 - 1785, p. 260, Family # 439: Jean VINCENT, b. abt 1742 Paroisse St-Joseph, Acadie (Acadia). Son of Antoine VINCENT & Madeleine LANDRY, married 25 Jun 1765 St-Servan, Fra., Jeanne BATET, b. abt 1742 St-Sevan, daughter of Jean-Baptiste BATET & Jeanne OFFROY. Children: Antoine, bt. 7 Oct 1766 St-Servan, Fra. Jeanne-Charlotte, bt. 4 Nov 1768, St. Servan, Alexis-Louis, bt. 9 Sept 1770, St. Servan Perrine-Jeanne, bt. 2 Apr 1772, St-Servan; married (?) LEFORT Francoise-Bernadine, b. abt 1774 Jean-Marie, bt. 13 Jan 1776 Chantenay, St-Martin Parish, Godparents: Olivier Theriot & Madeleine GAUTROT, d./bur: 8 Jan 1780 Chantenay Jean-Pierre, bt. 14 Nov 1778 Chantenay, St-Martin, Godparents: Jean LEFEVRE, Capitaine & Jeanne MIEN; d/bur: 8 April 1780 Chantenay Jean-Pierre, bt. 3 Sept 1784, Chantenay, St-Martin; Godparents: Antoine Vincent, brother & Jeanne Vincent, sister, d/bur: 7 Oct 1785 Chantenay, St-Martin. Footnote: This family had been living in Chatellerault (Vienne) until the end of 1775, on which date they arrived in Nantes where they remained. Relief was granted to the head of the family, and to his daughter Francoise in 1794. The mother, Jeanne BATET, is French and cannot receive any relief; whereas the son, Alexis-Louis, married to Renee DUDAN, receives relief in 1820, as well as his two children Renee and Alexis. In 1846 Renee DUDAN, aged 80 and her daughter Renee (born in May 1799) received relief in Nantes as well as another daughter of Jean Vincent: Pierre-Jeanne, widow LEFORT, aged 71, sister-in=law of Renee. I am not sure if this is the couple that you are looking for, but if it is - I hope this helps.

I'm still trying to find any kind of evidence -- either way -- to confirm or refute the theory that my ancestor, Jean-Pierre Clement who m. August 27, 1810 in Assumption Parish, Louisiana to Adelaide De L'Aune is the son of Jean Vincent dit Clement (b. 1742 in Pisiguit, Acadie) and Jeanne Baste (b. 1742 in St. Servan, Ile-et-Vilaine, France). I've seen this claimed -- evidently there's a birth record from the Acadians-in-Exile books somewhere -- but I've yet to find any kind of documentation that Jean-Pierre Vincent s/o Jean and Jeanne (Baste) Vincent is the Jean-Pierre Clement who settled in Assumption Parish. Can anyone help? Even if it proves the theory wrong, I'd rather have no information than incorrect information.

Before founding Detroit and becoming a foot in mouth Cajun governor, Cadillac was an Acadian, being at least the second former resident of Acadia to settle in Louisiana.

I don't believe a ship passenger list exists, but according to correspondence in the Santo Domingo Papers (Legajo 2585), this group started out from Maryland with 150 persons and one died on the way. This group was sent to Natchez. You will find a list of persons to whom land was distributed in "Odyssey Continued: Acadians Arrive in Natchez," Louisiana History, vol. XIX, No. 4, Fall 1978, pp. 446-463. You'll find additional information in "The Acadians at Natchez, 1768-1769," le Raconteur, XIX, No. 2, Aug. 1999, pp. 97-99, and Lawrence Kinnaird's book, Spain in theMississippi Valley, 1765-1794, vol. II, p. 145. By the time Anne Dupuis arrived at Natchez, she was listed as a widow.

Landing of Cadillac After departing Montreal June 5, 1701 Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac and his convoy of seventy-five canoes sailed down this river and on the evening of July 23 camped sixteen miles below the present city of Detroit on what is now Grosse Ile. On the morning of July 24, Cadillac returned upriver and reached a spot on the shore near the present intersection of West Jefferson and Shelby. Pleased with the strategic features, the bank towering some thirty feet above the level of the river, Cadillac landed and planted the flag of France, taking posession of the territory in the name of King Louis XIV. The erection of a fortress was immediately begun. The stockade, formed of fifteen-foot oak pickets set three feet into the ground, occupied an area of about an acre. The fortress was named Fort Pontchartrain du Detroit (the strait) in honor of Count Jerome de Pontchartrain, Minister of Marine. From this fort and settlement, Detroit, the Renaissance City, takes its origin.

Lake Pontchartrain was named by Pierre Le Moyne, Sieur de Iberville, elder brother of Jean Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville. He tactfully named the lake after the French Minister of Marine and Colonies, Count Pontchartrain. Another nearby lake he named for the count's son and successor, Jerome Maurepas. Before Bienville decided, in 1718, on the river location for the settlement he would call La Nouvelle Orleans, his brother Iberville set out to search for the entrance to the Mississippi River. They had arrived at Mobile Bay in February 1699, and a month later, on Mardi Gras, Iberville and a small party began their ascent up the river. Their journey took them to the present site of New Orleans and as far as the Red River. There they turned around and made their way back by way of the two lakes. When the brothers Le Moyne arrived, the region of the lower Mississippi Valley was the domain of the Choctaw Indians. A once powerful tribe of the Muskhogean family, they were the first major tribe to form an alliance with the French in Louisiana. The Choctaw called the lake "Okwa-ta" or "Ok-Hata," meaning wide water. Fort Ponchartrain The first permanent French settlement in the Detroit region was built on this site in 1701. The location was recommended by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, who wished to move the fur trade center south from Michilimackinac. Cadillac's plan was approved by Count Jerome de Pontchartrain, Minister of Marine, for whom the fort was named. The term le detroit (the strait) was applied to the fort and surrounding area; after 1751 the post was known as Fort Detroit. In 1760, as a result of the French and Indian War, the British gained control of Detroit and other posts in the Great Lakes region. British troops enlarged Fort Detroit, but during the American Revolution they moved to nearby Fort Lernoult, built in 1778-79. The Americans occupied Fort Lernoult in 1796 and renamed it Fort Shelby.

Ship from Maryland arrived New Orleans 4 Feb 1768 Can anyone point me to the passanger list for this ship. This is the group of Manyland (and Penn) Acadians that were sent to Fort San Luis de Natchez. I am interested in the four Guedry/Guidry siblings that should have been on it. From Maryland Jean Baptiste was he listed, or was it his widow Anne Magdeleine Dupuis Joseph From Penn Pierre Ursule and her husband (Pierre) Paul Boutin Any other Guedry heads of Family? What is strange is that Anne Dupuis & Pierre are know to be at San Luis but not the other two families. Any ideals? After San Luis failed Anne Dupuis & Joseph settled Acadian Coast. Pierre, Ursule, and Anne's son JB settled in Lafayette and Opelousas area It would be nice to see entire list to see if any other ancestors on ship.

Be gone for awhile. Going to an Island where it's guaranteed to be warm. Jackie
