Parish of Vermillion 4 July 1860 Roll 401Vol 2 1-423 I have corresponded with you before I believe we were trying to solve the Mistery of the Placide LaBauve m Natalie Broussard and Placide married to Annette and some even have a Placide married to Nancy Griffin Any way your Belizare is the son of Placide LaBauve and Annette Thibodeaux she is called many things in the census down to Nantibodeau they lived to a very ripe old age.....Lake charle Echo has article about him....This article was found in the library in Maude Reed's Papers in Lake Charles, Louisiana Published Lake Charles Echo June 21 1884 Judge Andrew Kearney, our esteemed District Attorney, returned last Monday from Cameron Parish, very much improved by his short recreation at the Gulf shore. He furnishes us with a very interesting piece of information in regard to an old gentleman living in that parish by the name of Placide LaBauve. Mr. LaBauve has been residing on the road leading from Leesburg to Grand Chenier for 60 years, and is now 103 (this could be disputed according to Baptismal 1796 recordsSM Vol 4 #779) He has been married for 79 years and has 12 children. Himself and his wife are hale and harty for old people, and he can mount his pony and lope around with astonishing youthfulness. Mr. LaBauve is a pensioner of the war of 1812. They have our wish for a continuance of long and happy life. I add this his wife would of been 60 years old at the birth of her last child.....NOW that is hard to believe. Annette Thibodeaux" was born 1798 she is the daughter of Anselm Thibodeau and Ann Trahan. Lynn LaBove llabove@camtel.net
