Hi everyone (esp. Paul & Andy), Interestingly, I'm related to the Jean-Hilaire Clement line through another side of my family, and I was never able to connect Jean-Pierre to them. Jean Clement who married Marie-Joseph "Rudouze" (her actual name was Druce, she was a half English/half Cajun from Port Royal) didn't, so far as I know, have a son named Jean-Pierre. Hilaire, son of Jean and Marie-Joseph, married Tarsile Naquin in 1774 and would be of the right generation to be Jean-Pierre's parents (as I estimate J-P's birth at about 1780), but I've never found any evidence that he was Hilaire's son. Andy - am I reading the scan you sent correctly, that Jean-Pierre who m. Adelaide de l'Aune is the son of David Clement? If so, that's a new one on me. In any case, it's looking like the theory that Jean-Pierre Clement was a Vincent is on pretty shaky ground. Any thoughts? Thanks for all of your help. If there's any information you're interested in having from me, just ask. cheers, Gordon
