Good Afternoon Roger, Thank you for this post and your time. I for one appreciate the time you take to share with all the rest of us! Andy Scott -----Original Message----- From: acadian-cajun-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:acadian-cajun-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Roger Rozendal Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 11:29 AM To: ACADIAN-CAJUN-L@rootsweb. Com Subject: [Acadian-Cajun] FIRST ACADIANS IN LOUISIANA 1764 FIRST ACADIANS IN LOUISIANA 1764 The first documented Acadians to arrive in Louisiana were noted in a letter dated 6 April 1764 from D’Abbadie, Director-General of Louisiana, to Duke of Choiseul-Stanville , Secretary of the French Navy in Paris. D’Abbadie wrote “… four Acadian families of twenty persons have arrived from New York during the month of February last”. [1] Elton Oubre using church records, census data, and land records identified the four families and 20 individuals as[2] [numbers were assigned by Oubre]: Jean[-Baptiste][3] Poirier (No. 1) Madeleine Richard (No. 2), his wife Jean-Baptiste Poirier (No. 10), their son Joseph Poirier (No. 9), their son Jean-Baptiste Richard (No. 3) Catherine Cormier (No. 4), his wife Joseph Richard (No. 11), their son Rosalie Richard (No. 14), their daughter Jean-Baptiste Cormier (No. 7) Magdeleine Richard (No. 8), his wife Anastasie Cormier (No. 13), their daughter Marie Cormier (No.19), their daughter Marguerite Cormier (No. 15), their daughter [Marie-]Anne Cormier (No.16), their daughter Madeleine Cormier (No. 20), their daughter Olivier Landry (No. 5) Cécile Poirier (No. 6), his wife Jean-Antoine Landry (No. 12), their son Joseph Landry (No. 17), their son Marie Landry (No. 18), their daughter In light of new information that has recently been obtained, the earlier work on these four families has been reviewed. The new information is: 1) An item found in the [Savannah] Georgia Gazette dated December 22, 1763 by Lucie Consentino: In the GEORGIA GAZETTE dated December 22, 1763[4] is found: Yesterday more of the Acadians, in number about 21, went in a vessel for Mobile, from which place they are to go to New Orleans. Sailed for Mobile Dec. 21, Sloop Savannah Packet, John Somerville [Master] 2) 29 June 1766 Cabaanocé Lower Coast census[5] (Verret’s Company) found by Donald J. Arceneaux. The review indicates Elton Oubre’s list of 20 members of the four families is correct, but should include one more for a total of 21. The additional member would be: Jean Richard, son of Jean-Baptiste Richard and Catherine Cormier (age 22 in 29 June 1766 census) who married 7 November 1767[6] Rosalie Bourgeois). Further posts will be the history of each of the four families as it has been compiled, tracing the families from imprisonment in Georgia, arrival in Louisiana and their settlement patterns through 1777. As an aside, note how close-knit this group of families were. Cécile Poirier, wife of Olivier Landry, was the sister of Jean- Baptiste Poirier who was married to Madeleine Richard, daughter of Jean-Baptiste Richard and Catherine Cormier; Jean-Baptiste Richard was a brother to Madeleine Richard who was married to Jean-Baptiste Cormier, who was a cousin to Catherine Cormier.

Roger, Jean Richard is shown as a sponsor for his brother, Joseph who was baptized in New Orelans on Feb. 26, 1764. The other sponsor was Magdeleine Richard, the infant's aunt. She was the sister of Jean Baptiste who was the wife of Jean Baptiste Cormier. Magdeleine Richard, sister of Joseph and Jean was married to Jean Baptiste Poirier. I don't have an Anastasie Cormier as a daughter of Jean Baptiste and Magdeleine Richard. I do have a son named Jean Baptiste, bn abt 1742, who m. Marguerite Bourg [she was one of the Acadian nuns but she was returned to her family] and they had a daughter named Anastasie who was born about 1769. She married Jean Frederic Mouton.

RICHARD, JEAN-BAPTISTE Jean-Baptiste Richard[1], born 2 February 1719, son of Martin Richard and Marguerite Bourg, married 1740 Catherine Cormier[2], born 1721, daughter of Alexis Cormier and Marie Le Blanc. This family was deported to Georgia where on a prisoner list dated 23 August 1763[3] is found: Jean Richards, wife, 4 children [Jean Richard age 44 Catherine Cormier age 42 Jean age 19 born 1744 Rosalie age 9 born 1754 Joseph age new born? born 24 March 1763? Child [name unknown, no further record of this child][4] This family along with 3 other close knit families, boarded a ship in December 1763 to leave Georgia. In the [Savannah] GEORGIA GAZETTE dated December 22, 1763[5] is found: Yesterday more of the Acadians, in number about 21, went in a vessel for Mobile, from which place they are to go to New Orleans. Sailed for Mobile Dec. 21, Sloop Savannah Packet, John Somerville [Master] These Acadians arrived in Mobile on or just before 22 January 1764 where the marriage of Jean-Baptiste Poirier and Madeleine Richard was blessed by the first priest they had seen in years. A copy of this ceremony is in Vidrine’s “Love’s Legacy[6]. Note this indicates a journey of about one month to Mobile. In the GEORGIA GAZETTE dated 26 February 1764, the return of the Savannah Packet to Savannah is noted[7], a return voyage of one month. This indicates the Acadians in Mobile boarded a different ship for New Orleans which could have been bound from New York to New Orleans. From Mobile, they went on to New Orleans arriving on or just before 26 February 1764. On arrival in New Orleans, Joseph was baptized. RICHARD, Joseph (Jean and Catherine COLMIER [sic for Cormier]) bap. Feb. 26, 1764, born March 24, 1748 [sic], sponsors Jean RICHARD, the infant’s brother, and Magdeleine RICHARD, the infant’s aunt (SLC, B5, 40)[8] The birth date March 24, 1748 would seem to be in error as the record states he is an infant. Possibly, he was born 24 March 1763? He seems to have been in the list dated 23 August 1763. Sometime after 6 April 1764, this family settled on the west bank of the Mississippi just down river from Verret’s Plantation. In the 29 June 1766 Cabaanocé Lower Coast (Verret’s Company) census [9] is found: [Jean-Baptiste pere] Richards man age 47 Catherine [Cormier] woman age 46 [Jean] Richard [fils] man age 22 Rozalie girl age 12 Joseph, baptized 26 February 1764, is not in the census [died?].

The parishes served are listed on the web site as well as three photos of the cemetery. It also seems that people who have moved away are often buried at this cemetery.

ACADIANS IN GEORGIA The Treaty of Paris ratified 10 February 1763 provided an eighteen- month period during which Acadians detained in British territory could relocate to French soil. Dated 23rd August 1763, a list[1] was prepared titled: Etat, et Liste des accadiens avec leurs Noms et la quantité des Enfans qu’ils ont fait dans la Caroline du Sud, ce 23rd Aoust 1763 [State, and List of the Acadians with their Names and the Number of Children that They Have in South Carolina this 23rd day of August 1763] A letter[2] attached to this list clearly that these are “Acadians from Savannah in Georgia that are in South Carolina”. This list of 185 persons has been transcribed[3] by Janet Jehn in “Acadian Exiles in the Colonies”. These are what is left of the 400 Acadians exiled to Georgia in 1755[4]. In the GEORGIA GAZETTE published in Savannah, Georgia, dated August 25 1763, is found[5]: Last week a number [120?] of the Acadians who have been here a few years, went on board a sloop for Monto Christi [Monte Cristi, St- Domingue]. Sailed for Monto-Christi August 21, Schooner Dolphin, W. Deadman [Master] It seems before the list was finalized and dated most of the Acadians had left. In the GEORGIA GAZETTE dated December 22, 1763[6] is found: Yesterday more of the Acadians, in number about 21, went in a vessel for Mobile, from which place they are to go to New Orleans. OUTWARDS for Mobile Dec. 17, Sloop Savannah Packet, John Somerville [Master] These Acadians arrived in Mobile on or just before 22 January 1764 where the marriage of Jean Poirier and Madeleine Richard was blessed by the first priest they had seen in years. A copy of this ceremony is in Vidrine’s “Love’s Legacy[7]. Note this indicates a journey of about one month to Mobile. In the GEORGIA GAZETTE dated 26 February 1764, the return of the Savannah Packet to Savannah is noted[8], a return voyage of one month. This indicates the Acadians in Mobile boarded a different ship for New Orleans which could have been bound from New York to New Orleans. I will have more on this group of Acadians later. In the GEORGIA GAZETTE dated January 12, 1764[9] is found: The Acadians have entirely left this place; 44 of them went for Cape- François [St-Domingue] on Friday in the brigt. Polly and Deborah, Capt. George Anderson In the GEORGIA GAZETTE dated February 9, 1764[10] is found: Arrived at Cape-François from this port, the Polly and Deborah, Anderson The Acadians who lately went from this [port] for Cape-François are to have settlements there, with plantation tools, and two years provision. It appears that all the Acadians had left Georgia by January 12, 1764, with the majority of them going to St-Domingue. However, there is evidence that some of those that went to St-Domingue a short time later, under the leadership of André Le Blanc, went to Louisiana and settled next to the first documented Acadians in Cabaanocé before the arrival of the Joseph Broussard group in February 1765. I will have more on this second group later. [1] ANF, Archives du Ministére des Affaires étrangéres, Correspondance politique, Angleterre, vol 451, fol 125-126. [2] White, Stephen A.

Hello Louise Thibodeaux was born 22 Sep 1771 and baptized 17 Jul 1772 at Atakapas. These dates are recorded both in SWLR & DOBR.
