I have two youngest children living with their sisters in 1752 Census & I have never found how they could have got to LA. They should be simply identified as parents of Joseph. Similarilly their son Jean-Baptiste is listed but not tied to them. JB died in Maryland. One of his daughters is listed under him but not his son Firmin. No mention of Augustin's son The Pierre Guidry & two daughters married to Boutins. First Families - period 1717 to 1732 Pre-Acadian settlers LA & gulf coast to Mobile.

One word of caution re Claitors - they no longer ship at USPS media rate [book rate]. The least expensive shipping will be UPS Ground which will be about $5.00 more than media mail...

Interestingly, I have discovered a propensity for longevity amongst the descendants (particularly males) of Jean Baptiste Guidry. I suspect the gene comes from his wife's father, Charles Dupuis, who died in Maryland in 1790 in his 90s. Just a few of the ones I found are Desire Guidry (1832-1929), son of Narcisse Guidry and Emeranthe Blanchard; Agnes Guidry (1869-1969), daughter of Valery Guidry and Virginie Basiline Blanchard; and Appolinaire Guidry (1869-1969), son of Ulger Guidry and Adelaide Alexina LeBlanc. The oldest I found was Sosthene Patin (1873-1976), son of Adam Patin and Erazie Guidry. Nonc Sos was married to my grandmother's sister, Idea Legrand. He had gall bladder trouble in his 70s, but the doctors said he was too old to operate on. So they waited until he was 100. He lived to be 103!
