Judy and List, There is a book by Eileen Larré Behrman, ASCENSION PARISH, LOUISIANA, CIVIL RECORDS, 1770-1804 which I saw at the Salt Lake Family History Library, US/CAN 976.319 R2b; p. 44. On pp. 951-955 of Book A in the Parish Records. "Acting upon an order of Louis Judice, Joseph Landry, Lieut. of the Militia of LaFourche, goes to the farm of Firmin Dupuis, resident of this district, who is accused of having killed a resident of Baton Rouge, to proceed with an inventory of all property belonging to said Firmin Dupuis. Present are Anne Richard, mother of Firmin Dupuis..." The farm of 5 arpents had a house 20 x 15 pied, and a storehouse, all estimated at 300 piastres. Total inventory was 394 piastres 7 reaux, "and will remain in the hands of Dame Anne Richard, who will render an account when so ordered." I wonder if Firmin had to serve a jail sentence, or perhaps pay a fine? Firmin DUPUIS did not marry until 15 Feb 1790, over two years later, to his 2nd cousin Marie Josephe THERIOT, daughter of Jean Jacques THERIOT & Marguerite Josephe RICHARD. She was age 24, and he was around 37. They had at least 10 children. The most likely candidate for the Joseph HEBERT who died would be the son of Charles HEBERT & Marguerite LE BLANC, born about 1749 in Acadia, who was exiled to France and immigrated in 1785 to Louisiana aboard "Le Saint Remi" with his wife Jeanne de la FOREST and their five children. His widow remarried at Donaldsonville, Ascension Parish, LA, on 16 Aug 1789 to Nicolas Jean Sebastien BENOIT. Any better ideas? Karen Theriot Reader [email protected]
