La Salle gave land at the junction of the Mississippi and Arkansas Rivers to his Lt. De Tonty in 1682 on the trip to the mouth of the Mississippi River. In 1686, De Tonty established a Post there to await La Salle. Unfortunately, La Salle ended up in Texas and was murdered by some of his men. Two survivors made their way to the Arkansas Post and one went to France and then returned to LA with Bienville and Iberville. So the Arkansas Post was the first settlement in Colonial LA and remained an important post uder both the French and Spanish Colonial periods. It was renamed Ft. Carlos III under the Spanish in honor of the King of Spain. Many of those who served at the Arkansas Post ended up in Louisiana, including Dauterive who signed the Agreement with the Acadians in 1765. Others include Prudhomme, Pellerin [not the Acadian line]; Peltier and Menard. I have 2 extra copies of the book Colonial Arkansas 1686-1804: A social and Cultural History by Morris S. Arnold. One is a hardcover collector edition and the other is a softcover edition. This book is the definitive book on the Post and it has many excellent maps, portraits and drawings. I'm offering the list the opportunity to purchase the books before I place on my Books page. If interested, please contact me off-list. Stanley LeBlanc http://www.thecajuns.com

Many of those in Colonial Missouri and the early American Period or their descendants went to Louisiana. Some came into Missouri [St. Genevieve, St. Louis, New Madrid] from the Illinois Region or Ft. Vincennes before going to La. Also some Americans in Missouri went to Louisiana. I have an extra copy of the CD Missouri Volume 3. It contains Volumes 1-6 of the Missouri Genealogical Records & Abstracts series. Each of the six volumes cost as much or more than the CD when they were in print. The information was obtained from birth, death and marriage records; tax lists; cemetery records; criminal and civil suits; loan office reports; wills; Spanish censuses; letters at the post office, and a wide variety of other documents. Each Volume has its own index. The time frames for each volume are: V.1: 1766-1839 V.2: 1752-1839 V.3: 1787-1839 V.4: 1741-1839 V.5: 1755-1839 V.6: 1621-1839 I will sell the CD at my cost plus postage.

Morning, I am looking for information [historical] information about the James SMALLY Family. James was married to Marie Elizabeth NELSON. Their daughter Cora married Jean Baptiste SONNIER< s/o Eugene & Euphrosine Mouton on the 28th of Jan 1880 in St. Peter's Church in Carencro, La. [Carencro Ch.: v.1, p. 123]. I do not have any material that covers this family. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks Andy Scott

This from Stephen White's Correction and addItions: p 793 (août 2007) La même famille Ajouter une nouvelle Note de S.A. White, comme suit: i. La supposition du Père Patrice Gallant selon laquelle son ancêtre Michel Haché dit Gallant était le fils d'un Français et d'une Amérindienne aurait été fondée sur quelques notes que Placide Gaudet a prises en interrogeant des membres de la famille Gautrot à Pré-d'en-Haut en novembre 1884 («Diverses familles», CEA, 1.112-36). L'enquête de Gaudet n'a été menée que vingt ans après le décès de Petit Pierre Gautrot à l'âge de cent ans, donc, il est fort possible que la tradition que Gaudet a conservée soit venue de lui. Petit Pierre était le fils de Paul Gautrot et d'Anne dite Nannette Belliveau. Au sujet des antécédents de cette dernière, Gaudet a écrit qu'un «Belliveau de Port Royal émigra sur l'Île St Jean où il se maria à une Métisse. Les frères de ce Belliveau s'en offusquèrent et le renièrent pour leur frère. Une de ses filles ou petites-filles [sic] épousa le vieux (Pierre? [sic]) Gautreau». En effet, Nannette Belliveau était la fille de Louis Belliveau et de Louise Haché. Celle-ci était la Métisse de la citation de Gaudet. Vu que sa mère Anne Cormier était la fille de Thomas Cormier et de Madeleine Girouard, qui n'avaient aucun sang autochtone, il faut croire que Louise était considérée métisse à cause de son père, Michel Haché, d'où la croyance que ce dernier était le fils d'un Français et d'une Amérindienne. C'est cette croyance que Michel Haché était métis qu'a amené le Père Gallant à l'identifier avec l'enfant baptisé avec le prénom Michel dans le registre de Trois-Rivières, dont le père était un Français et la mère une Esquimaude «de l'Acadie». Mais comment s'explique-t-elle la présence d'une Esquimaude en Acadie? Une interprétation plausible de ce dernier détail nous a été offerte par Denis Jean, de Patapédia (Québec). Monsieur Jean nous a expliqué que les Montagnais ont été appelés les Petits Esquimaux par les Français de l'époque, donc la mère de Michel Haché a pu être une Montagnaise. La présence des Montagnaises au Cap-Breton est pleinement attestée par les Relations des Jésuites. La troisième lettre de la mission de l'Acadie (R.G. Thwaites éd., Les Relations des Jésuites, vol XLV, 1899, p 68) mentionne une telle femme qui a été amenée prisonnière à l'île du Cap-Breton par les Mi'kmaq peu avant le 16 octobre 1659. this I need! Thank you. Merci! Jackie

It really puzzles me that there is no documentation on the d.o.b. of Charles Québédeaux. Usually the record of his burial would have his age at time of death, but I cannot find a record of his burial. There is justification who question the 1750 d.o.b. mentioned in most, including my database. But if his father was dead by 1745, he could not have been the son of Joseph Québédeaux dit l'Espagnol and Mariannne (Marie Anne) Antoinette (Antoine) Beau (sometimes listed as Marie Lest). If not who was his father? What is the line of succession of the descendants of Joseph Québédeaux dit l'Espagnol and Mariannne (Marie Anne) Antoinette (Antoine) Beau (sometimes listed as Marie Lest)?

Joseph L'Espagnol with a wife and 2 children and Antoine L'Espagnol who was unmarried were in the Illinois Region on the farm of MM Boisbriant and LaLoire. Both had 5 arpents of cleared land. Unfortunately, the ages aren't given. Stanley LeBlanc http://www.thecajuns.com

Don, I haven't found a record showing that Joseph Quebedeau was dead by 1745 as stated on the World Connect. The reference quoted by the World Connect entry doesn't show that he was dead. I'll check the militia records to see if an age is given. I'll also check the Ft. Chartres births, marriages and deaths as soon as I get a chance to go to the library. The Kaskaskia book doesn't have all the records. There are numerous records for which no date of death can be found.

Don, I've seen the enrty on World Connect that states that Joseph Quebedeaux died in 1745. The source note states that the marriage record for one daughter states that he was dead in 1745. I have the book, Kakaskia Under the French Regime that is referenced. It contains marriage info for 3 daughters: Marie Francoise who married Nicolas Provost [Prevot, Prevost]in July 1745 [pgs 109-110]; Marie Josephe who married Thomas Alexandre [Alexis] St. Germin dit Laville (or, possibly de Laville dit St. Germin)in May 1749 [pg 105 - this record shows father as Joseph Quebedeau dit Lespagniol]; and Marie Jeanne who married abt 1750 Gilles Chemin [entry has birth of a son named Charles, bn 1751 and Therese, bn 1753 [pg 105]. There isn't any info on Charles Chemin born 1751. Therese married Pierre Montardy who later went to St. Louis. He was a Sergeant who later became a Captain of the Troops in 1787. None of the entries show that Joseph was deceased. Charles apparently came to Pointe Coupee with Marie Francoise and Nicolas Prevost. They most likely arrived in 1763 or early 1764 because a daughter married at Pointe Coupee in Sept. 1764. Joseph St. Germain, son of Alexis and Marie Josephe also came to Louisiana, and married Marie Hache on Aug. 16, 1788 in St. Martinville. I have eight children for Nicolas Provost and Marie Francoise: 6 born at Ft. Chartres, IL and 2 born at Pointe Coupee. Marie Francoise was born about 1724 as her age is shown as 80 on her death record in 1804. I doubt that Charles Quebedeau was born between 1726-1732 as shown on World Connect. I suspect that he was born in the early 1740s. Catherine Recuron was born Jan 12, 1762 at Pointe Coupee. Charles was on the 1774 Pointe Coupee Militia. He married Catherine Oct. 24, 1776 at Pointe Coupee. Charles apparently moved to Attakapas in the 1790s where he died before Feb 22, 1802 when Catherine married James Mullins. I have nine children for Charles and Catherine. Catherine died Dec. 5, 1818 at Opelousas. The book La Population des forts francais d'Amerique...by Marthe Faribault-Beauregard may have additional information for Ft. Chartres. I'll check it on my next trip to the genealogy library.

Gordon & List, The very close relationship of Onesime Carriere & Azeline Darbonne did indeed prove to be a hindrance to marriage in the Catholic Church. There was only a civil ceremony in 1848 between these first cousins once removed. It was not until 1870 that they were married in the church at Opelousas.
