List I have Ambroise as a child of John Hardy Hoffpauir's sister Euphamie Hoffpauir. I think it would be pressing it for John Hardy to have a chid in Dec of 1846 and then Dec of 1847 with both living. However it could have happened. It is also possible that John Hardy might have arranged for his sister's child to be given to a family but if he gave one of his children away, why not more of them. I also have 4 John Hardy Hoffpauirs and none married to Amy Babineaux. Where does Amy Babineaux come from. Her name sounds familiar. Felton
