Her father was Edward Laurendine who died 30 December 1832. He was one of the children of Jean Baptiste Lorandini and Lucia Coulleret ( who was his half sister's daughter)JB was the child of Pierre Lorandini ( Florence, Italy) and Marie Ann Fourchet ( a casket girl from France). They immigrated to Mobile, Alabama which may have been known then as the Louisiana Territory. They were the beginning of the Laurendine and many, many other families. I think I have all this straight. Correct me anyone who reads this if I left out a generation somewhere. Joan
