Hi Gordon...if you need the rest of this Vincent line, I can post it for you. Just let me know. In the " Acadian Marriages in France" by Albert J. Robichaux, Jr., p 63, he shows Jean's wife as a Baste rather than Batte - I have no idea if Mr. Robichaux is correct or if Mr. Braud is correct. -----Original Message----- From: Andy [mailto:seaire@starband.net] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 9:26 PM To: ACADIAN-CAJUN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [ACADIAN-CAJUN] Vincent/Clement Hi Gordon, Per Gerard Marc BRAUD, Les Acadiens en France, Nantes et Paimboeuf 1775 - 1785, p. 260, Family # 439: Jean VINCENT, b. abt 1742 Paroisse St-Joseph, Acadie (Acadia). Son of Antoine VINCENT & Madeleine LANDRY, married 25 Jun 1765 St-Servan, Fra., Jeanne BATET, b. abt 1742 St-Sevan, daughter of Jean-Baptiste BATET & Jeanne OFFROY.

LEFORT Francoise-Bernadine, b. abt 1774 Jean-Marie, bt. 13 Jan 1776 Chantenay, St-Martin Parish, Godparents: Olivier Theriot & Madeleine GAUTROT, d./bur: 8 Jan 1780 Chantenay Jean-Pierre, bt. 14 Nov 1778 Chantenay, St-Martin, Godparents: Jean LEFEVRE, Capitaine & Jeanne MIEN; d/bur: 8 April 1780 Chantenay Jean-Pierre, bt. 3 Sept 1784, Chantenay, St-Martin; Godparents: Antoine Vincent, brother & Jeanne Vincent, sister, d/bur: 7 Oct 1785 Chantenay, St-Martin. Footnote: This family had been living in Chatellerault (Vienne) until the end of 1775, on which date they arrived in Nantes where they remained. Relief was granted to the head of the family, and to his daughter Francoise in 1794. The mother, Jeanne BATET, is French and cannot receive any relief; whereas the son, Alexis-Louis, married to Renee DUDAN, receives relief in 1820, as well as his two children Renee and Alexis. In 1846 Renee DUDAN, aged 80 and her daughter Renee (born in May 1799) received relief in Nantes as well as another daughter of Jean Vincent: Pierre-Jeanne, widow LEFORT, aged 71, sister-in=law of Renee. I am not sure if this is the couple that you are looking for, but if it is - I hope this helps.

I'm still trying to find any kind of evidence -- either way -- to confirm or refute the theory that my ancestor, Jean-Pierre Clement who m. August 27, 1810 in Assumption Parish, Louisiana to Adelaide De L'Aune is the son of Jean Vincent dit Clement (b. 1742 in Pisiguit, Acadie) and Jeanne Baste (b. 1742 in St. Servan, Ile-et-Vilaine, France). I've seen this claimed -- evidently there's a birth record from the Acadians-in-Exile books somewhere -- but I've yet to find any kind of documentation that Jean-Pierre Vincent s/o Jean and Jeanne (Baste) Vincent is the Jean-Pierre Clement who settled in Assumption Parish. Can anyone help? Even if it proves the theory wrong, I'd rather have no information than incorrect information. I'm happy to share what I have on this line -- I have a lot on Jean-Pierre's descendants. cheers, Gordon Bonnet Trumansburg NY ==== ACADIAN-CAJUN Mailing List ==== http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=topics.ethnic.acadian-caj un This is a link to the Acadian-Cajun Message Board at RootsWeb. ============================== Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
