DIEGO'S older brother, GUILLERMO (MACABOY/MAKBOY)MCVOY,b.ca.1776-1778 was my 3rd great grandpa. > >I have info that MARY EUPHROSINE BOUSAGE was born Aug 26, 1764 in DEER ISLAND, HARRISON CO, MS. bAPTISM (mda) bk1,pg 225A, Death July 11, 1845. Buried at MAGNOLIA CEMETERY in MOBILE,AL. > >MARY EUPRHOSINE BOUSAGE MCCURTAIN MCVOY was the daughter of LOUISE CATHERINE BAUDREAU and JOSEPH BOUSAGE. She was 1st married to CORNELIUS MCCURTAIN in 1806. Then to DIEGO MCVOY. I am most curious about the difference in the "age" of MARY EUPHROSINE AND >DIEGO. It sounds like she was much older than Diego-at least 14-16years if the dates are correct. I know Diego was younger than GUILLERMO, so I am pretty sure about his >dates. Interesting.... > >JOSEPH BOUSAGE/BOUZAGE/BOSARGE was said to have been born circa 2-26-1726, in POINTERS, FR from info that was sent to me. and it is said that he died around 1794-1795(?) in >BAYOU LA BATRE,AL where he is buried. > >There is a WONDERFUL book(was for sale) at the BILOXI,MS library on the BOSARGE family. > >A very nice lady name MARY LOUISE ADKINSON who works at the library(and I believe the author, was most kind and sent me an excerpt from the book about my MCVOY uncle (DIEGO) and cousins. > >THE EXCERPT was most interesting and I highly recommend the book! > > >I must mention though, that there is one name in this book that I am not certain of-- >She lists a slightly different, AMERICANIZED version of my 4th great grandma. > >According to my research, My 4th great grandmother was not originally (as far as my research to this point) ELIZABETH MILLER.(must be an "AMERICANIZED" version of her name??? > >Her real name was YSABEL MELOS or MELSA and may have married an INGLES or ENGLISH >before or after MCVOY. > >She DEFINITELY was SPANISH and her name was Hispanic (spelling variations- YSABEL/ISABELLA MELSA/MELOS?

I am very grateful. > >I am most fascinated by this family's history! MUCH of this line is listed on a fabulous homepage for KRISTY WRIGHT EDENFIELD and I wish I had written down the address on the web.
