She went to Nouvelles Orleans with her 3 childs. She left them 2 years in the USA, before going to Europe where she married my grand-grand father François Auguste Samanos (1806-1891). She got again 3 children (Gustave, Théophile and Théodore). A picture of my grand-grand mother is available at URL below http://samanos.bamertal.com/Genealogie/Jean-Alain Jachiet/Trois generations de membres de la famille et ami_files/image024.jpg I found out last summer about 300 letters from Isabelle Reynaud to her brothers: Gustave, Pierre, Oscar and her sister Virginie. Majority of letters are in French. Let me know if you have any interest. I did not finish to type them in electronic format, but could provide you copies.
