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! Stanley LeBlanc http://www.thecajuns.com 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 June 20, 1774, muster roll indicates that he was a fusilier in the Attakapas District militia. His name is rendered as Saturnine Landry in the June 20, 1774, list. 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.

Don, Stanley, Just an idea, but could Saturin have joined a religious order. By age 19 he was certainly old enough to undertake religious studies. Do your LA census records cover residents of various religious institutions, including the grand seminary?
