Here's another interesting tidbit, especially in light of the fact that the name Macarty figures prominently in the history of the Illinois Country and Fort de Chartres.... Footnote 36 on page 33 Jean-Baptiste Macarty, the scion of a French family that arrived in Louisiana in 1732, was born in New Orleans, March 7, 1750, the son of Barthélmy Daniel Macarty and Françoise Hélène Pellerin, He married Héloise Charlotte Fazende, member of a distinguished Creole family, and they had three children: Barthélmy [who never married], Edmond [or Edward] who married Marie-Elénore Destréhan, and Marie-Celeste who married Paul Lanusse. Jean-Baptiste Macarty died November 10, 1808. For further information on this family see Stanley Clisby Arthur, "Old Families of Louisiana" [New Orleans, 1931], pp. 330-333.
