No! I haven't seen the info on Marie Maturine. This is great! I noticed the name LaLande - Antoine and his mother-in-law bought the windmill from Jean Baptiste LaLande... brother maybe??? I have a conflict of info to reoprt, tho: According to Glenn R. Conrad, St. Charles, Abstracts of the Civil Records of St. Charles Parish, 1700-1803 pg.27 - Marie Therese Aufrere died June 30, 1774 in St. Charles Parish, La. (It is the "inventory of the community property of Joseph Dusiau and his late wife, Therese Aufrere". (The inventory is actually taken on 30 June, she may have passed away the day before.) By the way, I own the above mentioned book and would be happy to do lookups.
