Bonjour Lucie, Check through my research books for Kankakee County, Illinois and the only thing that I can find that even comes close to the surname DOZA is one entry for a Michel DOZZERA shown him at age 22 in the 1860 census, born in canada and living in Kankakee, Illinois with the LaJoice family.

In a message dated 7/30/03 12:36:30 PM Central Daylight Time, tr2da@eatel.net writes: << Don, I am researching this line for a friend who is trying to make his Landry/Nova Scotia connection. I thus far have Pierre Joseph Landry (son of Pierre Landry & Marie Josephe Hebert) m. Scholastique Breau. Do you have this line back any further. Also birth, marriage, & death dates/locations of the above would be appreciated. I saw your postings on Genforum. Would appreciate any info you can give me. Thanks, Lloyd Daigle Prairieville, LA ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Lloyd: Of course you knew that the great grandson of Pierre-Joseph was Major General Robert Broussard Landry who served on the Whitehouse staff of President Harry Truman. Following is the line of succession of the Landry family line of Pierre-Joseph Landry: 1st generation: Rene Landry, lejeune m. Marie Bernard 2nd generation: Abraham Landry, I m. Marie-Josephe Guilbeaux 3rd generation: René Landry bn Pisiquid Acadia died at Donaldsonville on June 03, 1781 m. at Grand Pre on 1736 to Marie Marguerite Theriot 4th generation: Pierre Joseph bn Abt. 1741 in Acadia died 1772 at St Malo, France married at St. Servan, France on January 31, 1769 to Marie Josephe Hebert 5th generation: Pierre Joseph, Jr., son of Pierre Landry Sr.and Marie-Josephe (Maria Josef) Hebert was bn January 09, 1770 at St Servan, France and died at Bayou Goula on March 14, 1843 m. 1st June 30, 1790 at St Gabriel, Iberville to Marie Scolastique Breaux d/o Joseph Breaux and Marie Josephe Landry. After the death of Scholastique, Pierre-Joseph remarried several times. Pierre Joseph's parents were transported to England from Acadia in 1756 and after the treaty of 1763, were "re-patriated" to France. His parents were married approximately five years later in St. Servan, France. Pierre-Joseph, along with his parents, are placed at St. Malo, France, where evidence is found on page 73 of the publication "Acadians in France" listed "Pierre Landry, 31, carpenter of St. Malo died in 1772, Marie Josephe Hebert, 31, his wife, and Pierre-Joseph Landry, 2, their son." Pierre-Joseph arrived in Louisiana aboard the ship LaBerge on August 15, 1785, with his widowed mother and maternal grandfather as recorded in "The Crews and Passenger Registration Lists of the Seven Acadian Expeditions of 1785" The LaBerge's registration journal had them listed as "Widow Hebert (should have been listed as the Widow Landry, her maiden name was Hebert), 57, and her son Pierre Joseph Landry, 17, day laborer." He settled in St. Gabriel, received a land grant on the west bank of the Mississippi River and became a successful sugar farmer or planter. He married at St. Gabriel on June 30, 1790, Scholastique Breaux, daughter of Joseph Breaux and Marie Josephe Landry. After the death of Scholastique, Pierre remarried several times. Pierre Joseph was a man with many interests. He was militarily inclined and became a member of Meriam's Militia, which was organized to protect the early settlers. By 1810, he was a first lieutenant. In the War of 1812, he organized his own company of infantry, and as part of Meriam's Militia---the 8th Regiment (and as Captain Landry) he led his men for the defense of the lower coast and New Orleans. Late in his life, Pierre Joseph Landry was stricken with Tuberculosis of the bone (the knee) and was confined to a wheel chair. · He began woodcarving and carved little figures from beech and magnolia with his pocket knife. Pierre became an accomplished wood carver.One of his most ambitious pieces was the "Wheel of Life", which can be found on exhibit in the Cabildo. The carving consists of the seven ages of man, from the cradle through old age and finally to the grave. He also carved a mausoleum with the bowed figures of two mourners. He also carved a bust of himself. The only likeness of Pierre Landry in existence. This collection of wood carvings were scattered amongst his descendants, until Luke Valcour Landry, brought them all together into one collection and placed them in the safekeeping of the Louisiana State Museum, along with the note books and the military manual, as a lasting memento of a distinguished citizen of long ago. In recognition of his works, a collection of his works is on display in both the Cabildo and the Presbetyre in New Orleans. He died at Bayou Goula, Louisiana, and was buried in March, 1843. On his tombstone at St.Gabriel church cemetery, the epitaph reads "A good Republican, who is missed by his wife and nine children whose good morals were necessary" The descendants of Pierre-Joseph are as follows: 6th generation: Eugene Landry bn June 30, 1810 at Iberville m. August 08, 1835 at St Gabriel to Marguerite Adrienne Hebert 7th generation: Luke Valazie Landry bn at Iberville November 20, 1841 m. at Grosse Tete on February 06, 1869 to Ann Hermance Lefeaux 8th generation: Luke Valcour Landry, Jr.bn 1873 at Maringouin, Iberville Parish, Louisiana m. at new Orleans on October 15, 1908 to Josephine Sharpe 9th generation: Robert Broussard Landry, Major General, bn in New Orleans on December 01, 1909 died. 14 July 2000 in Arizona m.at New Orleans to Mildred Marie Plauche issue: Robert Broussard Landry, jr Mildred Roberta Landry
Hi Don and Everybody, A colleague and friend received this from Stephen White regarding recent posts: <<Hi Lucie, I just got the following from Steve regarding the Tom Landry lineage. Could you post this on the list serve since I am NOT a member and cannot do so myself. It contains updated info from Steve regarding this Landry lineage. Thanks, Dennis Regarding Tom Landry's line, it contains a few errors, that you might wish to pass back the following notations to those on the list-serve. The date of Joseph Landry and Marie-Josèphe Corran dit Dauphiné's marriage was Feb. 13, 1778, rather than Feb. 28, 1778. This same Joseph did have one full sibling, a brother Pierre, who was born about 1754, and who died July 8, 1758, at the age of four years. Pierre was buried at Notre-Dame de Québec on July 9, 1758. The eldest of the children of Pierre Landry and his second wife, Isabelle (or Élisabeth) LeBlanc, was a son they had baptized Amand, and not Joseph. Amand was named after his godfather Amand Robichaud. His godmother was Marie-Josèphe Provençal. It would appear that there really was no Joseph Landry who married Geneviève Meunier. There is a baptismal record at Maskinongé for a child born in 1786 to a couple with those names, according to the information compiled by the researchers of the PRDH, but I believe that instead of Geneviève Meunier one should read Geneviève Vermet here. I do not have the original record to check, so I do not know whether the error is in that, or represents a transcriptional problem. In any event, Joseph Landry and Geneviève Vermet were living at Maskinongé at the time in question and had children baptized there in other years around that time. The Joseph Landry who died at L'Acadie, meanwhile, would seem to have been the husband of Geneviève Montminy, rather than the husband of Geneviève Meunier. Someone on the team working on the Landrys needs to go back to look at that burial record from L'Acadie again. The husband of Marie-Geneviève Montminy was actually baptized as Simon-Joseph Landry on Sept. 19, 1773, at St-Philippe de Laprairie. He was a son of Simon-Joseph Landry and Rosalie Cyr. He and Marie-Josèphe were married at L'Acadie on Jan. 11, 1796. I do not have a date for his death, but July of 1832 is of course entirely plausible. The compilers of this Landry lineage should reduce their count of the children of Joseph Landry and Marie-Josèphe Corran dit Dauphiné from twenty-six to twenty-five. Joseph and Marie-Josèphe's daughter who was baptized as Madeleine in July of 1784 must have been the same child who was buried as Louise a month and a half later. The PRDH shows only one child baptized and only one buried, but, even if the entries were duplicated between Maskinongé and Louiseville, I do not think one can imagine that there were two girls, rather than just one; it would have been most extraordinary indeed had this couple been able to bring into the world twin girls and cause them to be separately baptized on the day following their birth in two different parishes. There is, however, a certain amount of duplication of entries between the two parishes, but that is all that it is, a duplication of the entries. I hope the Landry team will find the foregoing helpful. Stephen A.

Thank you very much Roger for this information; my father was a Bergeron and my mother an Arsenault, the lines that settled in Quebec, just across Three Rivers, in St-Gregoire. I was aware of these long distant cousins in Louisiana on both sides of the family, but this additional information is very interesting, seeing these two families together even then. I am looking forward to the release of the S.A. White second dictionary next year since I understand that the first volume will include these two families (letters A and B).

I just received this from Paper of Record today. It does say to pass it along so here it is. The search feature is rougher than Ancestry's. (meaning many false hits) What I do is if I'm looking for someone who died on March 15, 1865. I put March in the search box. The top boxes on the right hand side have start date features. Those I would set for March in one box 14 in the other. So it's a good idea before you go to look thru your data for dates you have. You do need adobe reader to read the papers. I have not used the Canada/Halifax or NS papers yet myself. I've been using it for the Washington, D.C. papers. there are very few newspapers for the USA. Quite a bit for Canada and Mexico. Be sure to look at the links on the pages for help navigating through the start-up.

Continuing with what my research has indicated, the next five names on the list of holders of receipts for Canadian money are: 21) AUGUSTIN BERGERON 22) JEAN BPT. BERGERON 23) JOSEPH ARCENEAU 24) JEAN ARCENEAU 25) PIERRE ARCENEAU This is also a very closely knit family group. It is interesting to note that they settled in Attakapas, left several family members there in the cemetaries, but by the 1766 Attakapas census, there were no Bergerons or Arseneaus left in Attakapas, they had all fled to the settlements along the Mississippi River. 21) AUGUSTIN BERGERON Augustin Bergeron (White p. 122), born ca 1705, son of Barthélemy Bergeron and Geneviéve Serreau de Saint-Aubin, married ca 1730 (1729?) Marie Dugas (White p. 566), born ca 1711, daughter of Claude Dugas and his second wife, Marguerite Bourg. 12 August 1763 Halifax prisoners (Jehn p. 251): Augustin Bergeron, his wife, three children These may be: Augustin Bergeron age 58 Marie Dugas, wife age 52 Anne, daughter age 14 Elizabeth, daughter age 11? Marie Bergeron, age 11, orphan of Michel Bergeron (brother of Augustin) and Marie-Jeanne Hebert This family came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard where on 5 April 1765, Augustin received a receipt for 387 livres in ordonnances and 2223 livres 10 sols in billetes in Canadian money (Receipts). In late April 1765, they settled in Attakapas where on 30 August 1765, Augustin died (SM CH.: Slave Funeral Register v. 1, #17; SM CH.: v. 1, p.11- Hebert v. 1A pp. 52-53). His widow fled to Cabanocey where she is found living with her daughter, Geneviéve, widow of Jean-Baptiste D¹Amours in the 1766 Cabanocey census. Geneviéve Bergeron, widow d¹Amour age 36 Charles, son age 15 Baptiste, son age 12 Francois, son age 7 Ysidore, son age 3 Natasie, daughter age 8 Suzanne, daughter age 1 Marie Dugas, widow Bergeron (mother of Geneviéve) age 55 Anne, her daughter age 17 Anne, born ca 1749, daughter of Augustin Bergeron and Marie Dugas, married 16 July 1767 (Cabanocey Marriages) Pierre Hebert, born ca 1739, son of Joseph Hebert (White p. 828) and Anne Poirier (White p. 1335). In the 1769 Cabanocey census is found: Family #106 Pierre Hebert age 30 Marie (Anne) Bergeron, wife age 22 (sic) Francois, son age 1 Marie Dugas, widow Bergeron, mother-in-law age 59 Izidore Damons, nephew age 7 (orphan of Francois D¹Amours and Genevieve Bergeron who died before the 1769 census) There is no further record of Elizabeth so she may have died before coming to Louisiana. In 1766, Marie Bergeron, orphan of Michel Bergeron and Marie-Jeanne Hebert, may have been with Jean-Baptiste Bergeron, son of Augustin who is next on the list. See it for additional information on Marie. 22) JEAN BPT. BERGERON Jean-Baptiste Bergeron, born ca 1730, son of Augustin Bergeron (White p. 122) and Marie Dugas (White p. 566), married ca 1750 Catherine Caissy dit Roger, born ca 1736, daughter of Michel Caissy (White p. 310) and his first wife, Catherine Poirier (White p. 1337). On the 12 August 1763 prisoner list at Halifax is found (Jehn p. 249): Jean Bergeron, wife, four children These may be: Jean-Baptiste Bergeron age 33 Catherine Caissy, his wife age 27 Madeleine, daughter age 13 Jean-Baptiste, son age 9 Charles, son age 5 Joseph Caissy age 18, brother of Catherine Jean-Baptiste and his family came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard where on 5 April 1765, Jean-Baptiste received a receipt for 700 livres in billetes in Canadian money (Receipts). They then settled at Attakapas where on 31 May 1765, a daughter Marie-Anne was born. Unfortunately, she died on 31 August 1765 (SM CH.: Slave Baptism Register v. 1, p. 2, #4-A; SM CH.: Bapt. v. 1, p. 9- Hebert v. 1A pp.53-54). Then on 2 November 1765, Jean Baptiste was buried (SM CH.: Slave Funeral Register v. 1, #35; SM CH.: v. 1, p. 16- Hebert v. 1A p. 53). After Jean-Baptiste¹s death, his wife Catherine Caissy fled to Cabanocey where in the 1766 Cabanocey census is found: Catherine Quessy, widow Bergeron, age 30 Jean Baptiste, son 12 Charles, son age 10 (sic) Magdelaine, daughter age 16 Ossite, daughter (sic) age 14 Josephe Quessy, brother age 21 I think the Ossite Bergeron is Marie Bergeron, orphan of Michel Bergeron and Marie-Jeanne Hebert, who came to Louisiana with Augustin Bergeron, her uncle. The age is right and, outside of this one occurrence, I have found no records for an Ossite Bergeron, daughter of Jean-Baptiste Bergeron and Catherine Caissy. She would have gone to live with Jean-Baptiste after the death of Augustin. Marie Bergeron, orphan of Michel Bergeron and Marie-Jeanne Hebert, married 6 November 1767 (Cabanocey Marriages) Pierre Bourgeois, born ca 1747, son of Paul Bourgeois (White p. 262) and his first wife Marie-Josephe Brun (White p. 293). In the 1769 Cabanocey census is found: Family #94 Pierre Bourgeois age 29 (sic) Marie Bergeron, wife age 17 Pierre, son age 1 (mo.) Catherine Caissy, widow of Jean-Baptiste Bergeron, died before the 1769 census and her orphaned children were scattered among relatives. 1769 Cabanocey census: Family #12 Bonnaventure Gaudain age 46 Marguerite Bergeron, wife age 46 Bonnaventure, son age 14 Michel, son age 12 Théotiste, daughter age 19 Marie, daughter age 17 Jean-Baptiste Bergeron, nephew age 13 (sic)(orphan son of Jean-Baptiste and Catherine Caissy) 1769 Cabanocey census: Family #6 Pierre Arcenaux age 37 Anne Bergeron, wife age 28 Rozalie, daughter age 5 Marie Jeanne, daughter age 10 (mos.) Firmin Arcenaux, orphan age 15 Charles Bergeron, orphan age 11 (son of Jean-Baptiste and Catherine Caissy) Madeleine may have married 6 May 1768 (SLC, M2, 35- ADNO v. 2, p. 17) Estienne Renauld, a non-Acadian. I have found nothing further on her. 1769 Cabanocey census: Family #52 Joseph Roget, called Query age 23 23) JOSEPH ARCENEAU Joseph Arseneau, born ca 1740, son of Pierre Arseneau (White p. 27) and Marguerite Hebert (White p. 829), married ca 1763 Marie Bergeron, born ca 1745, daughter of Barthelemy Bergeron, fils (White p. 122) and Marguerite Dugas (White p. 226). 12 August 1763 Halifax prisoners (Jehn p. 249): Joseph Arcenos, his wife Joseph Arseneau age 23 Marie Bergeron age 18 Joseph and Marie came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard where on 5 April 1765, Joseph received a receipt for 201 livres in billetes in Canadian money (Receipts). They then went to Attakapas and settled there, but fled to Cabanocey in late 1765 with the rest of the Bergeron/Arseneau clan. In the 1766 Cabanocey census is found: Joseph Arsenaud age 26 Marie Bergeron, wife age 23 (sic) A child, Marie-Francoise, was born 1 Nov 1766 (SLC, 85, 164 -ADNO v. 2, p. 5). Another, Marguerite, was born ca Feb1769. In the 1769 Cabanocey census is found: Family # 108 Joseph Arseneaux age 29 Marie Bergeron, wife age 25 Francoise, daughter age 3 Margueritte, daughter age 7 (mos.) 24) JEAN ARCENEAU Jean Arseneau, born ca 1728, son of Pierre Arseneau (White p. 27) and Marguerite Hebert (White p. 829), married ca 1750 Judith Bergeron, born ca 1734, daughter of Bathelemy Bergeron, fils. (White p. 122) and Marguerite Dugas (White p. 266). 12 August 1763 Halifax prisoners (Jehn p. 249): Jean Arcenos, his wife, four children Jean Arseneau age 35 Judith Bergeron age 29 Jean-Charles age 10 Joseph age 6 Guillaume age 5 Paul age 1 Jean and his family came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard where on 5 April 1765, Jean received a receipt for 380 livres in billetes in Canadian money (Receipts). They then went to Attakapas and settled there, but fled to Cabanocey in late 1765 with the rest of the Bergeron/Arseneau clan. In 1766 Cabanocey census is found: Jean Arsenaud age 38 Judith Bergeron, wife age 32 Jean-Charles, son age 14 Joseph, son age 12 (sic) Guillame, son age 8 Paul, son age 4 A daughter, Anne, was born ca February 1769.

About 1764, a daughter Rosalie was born. Pierre and his family came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard where on 4 April 1765, Pierre signed the D¹Auterive Compact and on 5 April 1765, Pierre received a receipt for 70 livres in billetes in Canadian money (Receipts). They then went to Attakapas and settled there, but fled to Cabanocey in late 1765 with the rest of the Bergeron/Arseneau clan. In 1766 Cabanocey census is found: Pierre Arcenaux age 36 Anne Bergeron, wife age 26 Rosalie, daughter age 2 Widow Bergeron, his mother-in-law age 63 (Marguerite Dugas) Widow Bergeron, his sister age 23 (Anne Arseneau, widow Barthelemy Bergeron, Jr.) Widow Bernard, his sister age 40 ?

THE LANDRY FAMILIES IN NORTH AMERICA ORIGIN, PROGENITORS AND PROGENY For a long time, it was assumed that the Landrys in Louisiana were the progeny of two seperate Acadian Landry lines. However it appears now that there are at least 5 separate lines or clans of Landrys that settled in North America. One settled or established at Ile d'Orleans in Québec (Guillaume Landry), two established in Acadia (René Landry, the elder and René Landry, the younger) one was a Swiss (Jean-Jacques Henri Landry), who established in Louisiana. And still another (the fifth) with the progeny of Etienne Nicholas Landry and Marie Adelaide Lepen through their son Alexandre-Charles Landry who came to Louisiana and married Louise-Antoinette Peytavin at Opelousas. It appears that Guillaume Landry's father, Maturin Landry, may have had come to Canada to the region of Trois Rivieres in the employ of the Jesuits sometime before the summer of 1643. His son Guillaume Landry was born at La Ventrouze-au-Perche, which was situated between four large French provinces: Normandie, Ile-de-France, Orleans and Maine. Guillaume emigrated to Canada sometime in 1653. To my knowledge, none of the progeny of Guillaume Landry established in Louisiana. René Landry, dit l' aisne (the elder), born in France in 1618 and believed to have arrived in Acadia ca. 1640. His progeny emigrated to Louisiana following their exile of the Acadian Expulsion. René Landry, dit le jeune (the younger)was born in France in 1634 and was married at Acadia in 1659. His progeny like those of René Landry, dit l' aisne (the elder), emigrated to Louisiana following their exile of the Acadian Expulsion. Jean Jacques Henri Landry and Susanne Celestine Sandoz settled in St. Martinville in the 1830s, and today, their progeny are concentrated in the Lafayette, Louisiana area. It can be assumed that either Rene Landry, the elder or Maturin Landry was the first Landry to have traveled to the north American continent. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In trying to research the fifth line, I was informed by Stanley LeBlanc that according to Dr. Carl A. Brasseaux' s 3 vol set, "The Foreign French Nineteenth-Century French Immigration into Louisiana", between 1820-1852, numerous landrys came into La. from France, Vol. I 1820-1839, p. 316 lists; Landre, C.,m, age 34 Landry, Baptiste,m,35 Landry, Marie Dugas,f,40 Vol. II 1840-1848, p. 202 lists: Landry, Gastave, age 5 Landry, Louis, age 40 Landry, Louise, age 37 Apparently the same family Vol. III 1849-1852 - no Landry entries Stanley also states that both the Alexandre-Charles Landry and the Petavin du Bousquet family lines were from France and well-connected with all the leading figures in Attakapas. Both were Chevaliers. There are 103 entries for Peytavin in Southwest Louisiana Records thru 1900 and some in records of the Archdiocese of New Orleans. There is no record of Etienne Nicholas Landry, who was the father of Alexandre-Charles Landry, so apparently Alexandre-Charles Landry was the 1st generation of this line. His grandson [also named Alexandre Charles] returned to France, where he died. There were also Landri and L'Andry [was an engineer and involved with the Acadians] lines in the Colonial La. records. If anyone has any knowledge of any descendants of: Guillaume Landry married Gabrielle Barré; Jean-Jacques Henri Landry married Suzanne Celestine Sandoz, or Alexandre-Charles Landry married Louise-Antoinette Peytavin, Please send me some information on them.
