Actually it was Robert Byron Chaudoin who married Mary Rebecca Day. I know this because I have been talking to my aunt, who is Robert Chaudoin's granddaughter. If he was married to Carolyn Coker, it was before he married Mary, as they were together in pictures a few years before Robert died. Wallace was his father and Cornelia was his mother. Since I posted this on the message board I have found a wealth of info, both from a Chaudoin family FB group, and from my Aunt, whom I recently contacted. According to my Aunt, (she is Robert and Mary's daughter Opal Eunice Chaudoin's daughter), the story about him getting in trouble and leaving Texas is true. The story she had been told by her mother (Robert's child) was this: It was a really hard winter and there wasn't much food. So Wallace went out and shot a cow. Back in these days that was a hanging offense. The man who owned the cow came after him and Wallace shot and killed him. He loaded everyt! hing he had in a wagon and came to Louisiana. Supposedly it was about 8 or 9 years later that he finally told his wife Cornelia what his real name was. Joseph Lee was the son of Robert and Mary. He was one of 4 sons. 2 of them were twins, only one of the twins died at birth. If you come across the initials R.B. in Roberts list of children, this is the one that passed away. His twin brother was called R.C. I do believe the rest of your information is correct though. I'm so happy to have been able to find out so much information.
