Thank you for this new bit of information on Firmin Landry. Now we need more information on his son: SATURIN LANDRY (1755-1779) Recently, I decided to try to get more information on Firmin Landry'd second born (son Saturin). So little had been found about him, and since there was no evidence of him having married or having children, he was overlooked. New evidence has been sent to me about Saturin, life that I thought might interest others. As we all know, Saturin LANDRY was born at Pisiquid, Acadia sometime in 1755 and he along with his parents and older brother Joseph, was deported ca 28 October, 1755 aboard the Sloop Ranger to Oxford, Maryland (arrived there in November, 1755) He and his family remained in exile at Oxford until the family traveled to Louisiana in ca 1766-67. The family is enumerated in the July 7, 1763 Census of Neutral Inhabitants detained at Oxford as follows: Firmin Landry, Elizabeth son espouse, Joseph et Saturin Landry, Eleine et Magd.ne Landry. (Janet Jehn in "Acadian Exiles in the Colonies" On page 143 is found a copy from the microfilm of the original records of the Maryland census dated 7 Juillet 1763.) Karen Theriot Reader at: <KATheriot@aol.com> quoting from THE EIGHTEENTH AND NINETEENTH CENTURIES; 1755-1899; Baltimore, Gateway Press, 1995; p. 140. writes: "Saturin LANDRY, on 14 Jan 1766, was with Firmin LANDRY as witness to the Maryland marriage of Amant BABIN & Anastasie LANDRY (Reference: Mosley). "and on 29 Apr 1773 at Pointe Coupee, LA he was most probably the Saturin who was witness to the baptism of Hubert LANDRY, son of Firmin [his father] & [2nd wife] Theotiste TIBAUDOT (PCP-2, part 2, 150). So Saturnin probably died after Apr 1773, but possibly before the militia lists were made in 1774 and 1777. I find no record of a marriage or children for him." "Saturin Landry apparently remained single" - (Robert C. West using Hebert 1974 vols 1-4 in "An Atlas of Louisiana Surnames of French and Spanish Origin" - page 92) This is probably true since no record of his marriage or any children have been found. Stanley LeBlanc <http://www.thecajuns.com> and Roger Rozendal <rogroz@swbell.net (Roger A. Rozendal)> collaborated in researching Firmin Landry and sent me the following: "Below are excerpts from the Acadian Memorial Database. The last info is the 1777 muster roll. Roger Rozendal and I had checked a while back and couldn't find any other information re marriages or death in the SWLR or the DOBR records. He wasn't shown in the 1801 probate of Firmin Landry's estate. I suspect that he was one of the soldiers who went with Declouet in Feb. 1779 to Pointe Coupee to fight under Galvez and was killed. Note the Mother's name! Mother: Élizabeth Françoise Thibodeau Father: Firmin Landry Louisiana: Identified in the 1771 census of the Attakapas District as a sixteen-year-old member of his father's household.

The May 10, 1777, muster roll indicates that he was a fusilier in the Attakapas District militia. His name is rendered as Sinturnin Landry in the May 10, 1777 list.
