I am seeking information on SEVERIN ROUGEAU's ancestry. He was born July 17, 1795 in the Opelousas District. He had married twice before June 2, 1834 to Florentine DuPercude of Natchitoches, the daughter of Pierre Nolasque DePorcuna and Marie Madeleine LaBerry. They moved to Rapides Parish in the region of Elmer, LA. where they raised a large family. He died August 17, 1871 and she died May 31, 1887. Both are buried in the Rougeau Cemetary just off the Twin Bridges Road in Rapides Parish, LA. My husband is descended from one of Severin's two daughters who married Robert W. Lawson. Lawson first married Florentine Rougeau whom he had courted by mail thinking she was her sister Clementine. After Florentine died, Lawson did marry Clementine Rougeau. Any help would be appreciated. Any help on Robert Lawson would be appreciated also. Phyllis
