While the Council approved making provision for their support, the House refused on 5 Feb., and insisted that relief was the responsibility of those towns where the Acadians been “placed” many years before. In the meantime, the Governor and Council expended £80 on fuel and subsistence, which sum was reimbursed by the Overseers of the Poor in Boston; many Acadians found work in the town, but it was clear to the Overseers that assistance was essential to prevent any more deaths on account of their “distressed circumstances.” Some Acadians may have been living on Castle Island, whither they had been directed one year earlier when their transports were intercepted, but the majority were likely cooped up in a sugar house at Windmill Point (near present-day South Station) that the town had rented, but where disease was rife.

[https://www.colonialsociety.org/publications/3111/348-montague-wilmot] ==Hispaniola== *Boston Dec 3. 1764 My Lord I informed your Lordship of an emigration of Acadians made from hence to the Isle of St Pierre some time ago, & also of a transportation of a considerable body of them from Connecticut to Hispaniola: and I added that I did not know of any preparations for the remainder of them going from hence. But in that I have been deceived: for I now learn, that in the latter part of the summer (at which time I was absent for 5 weeks on my Voyage to the Eastward) a Negotiation has been carried on by the agency of British Merchants & Masters of Vessels for transporting the Acadians in New England to Hispaniola there to form a New Colony at Cap St Nichola. The Occasion of my discovering this was as follows. About 3 or 4 weeks ago, being at Castle William in this bay, I observed an outbound Brig, which answered “for the West Indies” very full of people. Going to Town the next day I enquired into this; & was told that She was full of french Neutrals going to Hispaniola. She was then got out of my reach & I could not stop her: I thereupon enquired into the particulars of the embarkation; & learnt that The Brig belonged to Rhode Island & came hither to take up these people; that there had been other embarkations made from hence in Vessels of this province; that the french Governor allowed evry Master of a Vessel that brought Acadians to purchase an hogshead of Sugar for evry Acadian, & I suppose some pay also for their freight; That the Acadians were continually coming out of the Country to embark here...The Numbers that have gone from this province are as follows. To St Pierre as before about 97; to Hispaniola in the Brig 103; in 3 other Vessels from this port, 30 at a time, 90, total allready gone 290. They say there are about 300 more that intend to go to Hispaniola of which the families which sign the Memorial are less than half. The whole then will be about 600, which I suppose are about two thirds of all the Acadians in this province. They say there are Masters enough ready to carry them thither for nothing. I ask who pays for their passage & their provisions: they answer they know not; they are not to pay themselves.[https://www.colonialsociety.org/publications/3111/324-earl-halifax] == Sources == *1764 Census [https://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/00165897ch16.pdf] *Colonial Records of Pennsylvania: Acadian Exiles in Pennsylvania, v.6 ,p. 119 [https://archive.org/details/colonialrecordsov6harr/page/751/mode/1up?q=sloop] *http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~guedrylabinefamily/genealogy/extant_acadian_records_pt2.html *Actes Du 22e Congrès International Des Sciences Généalogique Et Héraldique, Problems in Acadian Genealogical Research, Stephen White, p.287 [https://books.google.com/books?id=8SjtPuppLtYC&pg=PA288&lpg=PA288&dq=surnames+listed+on+the+1763+Maryland++Acadian+lists&source=bl&ots=UFt_NqR80z&sig=ACfU3U2_hrmtiI7NkLPVQWfEdlqdsAvWew&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiq5vegkNnxAhXMm-AKHS9PBfAQ6AEwEHoECBMQAw#v=onepage&q=surnames%20listed%20on%20the%201763%20Maryland%20%20Acadian%20lists&f=false] == Research Needed == * 1791 - 1810: 25,000 refugees arrived in America from the French colony of Saint Domingue, included in this number were Acadian Exiles, who had sought refuge on the island of St. Domingue after 1755.

*Source: "The First Nominal Census of Colonial Settlers in Southwest Louisiana"; compiled by Donald Joseph Arceneaux; Provincial Press, Claitor's Publishing Division, Baton Rouge, Louisiana; www.ProvincialPress.us & www.Claitors.com. An earlier census of this particular area [Attakapas], dated 25 April 1766 is a list of "Acadian Militiamen and Inhabitants" and their numbers, but doesn't name the people. The publication contains transcriptions and translations (from the original French) of two colonial documents. One is undated and titled "General Census...of the Attakapas"; the other is dated 9 December 1769 and is an "oath of allegiance to the king of spain [sic] made by thirty-three Attakapas male settlers", who are named in the document. Donald J. Arceneaux makes a case for the census being taken around the same time as the oath. In this nominal census taken in 1769, there are 207 individuals in thirty-eight households recorded. They consist of: :163 persons of European and Acadian descent (79%) :41 persons of African descent (20%) :3 Native Americans (less than 1%) Acadians accounted for 65% of the total resident population and 83% of the Caucasian population. There were 28 households headed by Acadians; none had slaves: :23 had a husband and wife :1 head of household was an Acadian widower :2 heads of household were widowed Acadian women :2 heads of household were single men Although the heads of household were named, the spouses were not.

[[Category:Germany Genealogy Resources]] German Residents in the Louisiana 1724 Census NAMES OF GERMAN HABITANTS ON BOTH BANKS OF THE MISSISSIPPI ABOVE NEW ORLEANS Many of these "German" residents had been residents of Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France, an area of France with a large population of ethnically German inhabitants. == OFFICIAL CENSUS OF 1724 == :"The official census taken in November, 1724, must always be the principal source of information concerning the founders of the German Coast in Louisiana. It will, therefore, be treated here at some length; and such notes will be added to it as were taken from other census reports, from church registers, and other official sources. The official census of 1724 embraces the concessions and habitations on both sides of the Mississippi River from New Orleans to and including the German Coast. It consists of two parts of sixty entries each. The first part covers the right bank from the upper limits of the German villages (upper side of Bonnet Carre' bend) down to a point nearly opposite New Orleans ; and the second part begins at the upper town limit of New Orleans on the left bank (at what is now Bienville street) and follows the left bank up the river to a point ten lieues above and opposite the German villages, where the first part began. Concerning the spelling of the German family names the reader is referred to the section of this work on the changes German names suffered at the hands of the French officials. Having met these names in many official records and church registers, and having found the same names spelt differently by many officials, and having also found original signatures of the German people, the author was in many instances able to restore the original German names. Where this was not possible, a question mark follows the name here." J. Hanno Deiler, Settlement of the German Coast of Louisiana and the Creoles of German Descent, Philadelphia: Americana Germanica Press, 1909; reprint R & E Research, 1968, Available for download Online. === RIGHT BANK OF THE MISSISSIPPI === The German Village of Hoffen, 10 Lieues Above New Orleans.

The census here informs us that the village just mentioned ( the first old German village) had been founded by twenty-one German families, that some had died and others had moved to the river front, having been drowned out by the great hurricane three years previous. Schenck, Thiel and Kobler seem to have come over from the second village. This is the reason why these three had "land at their discretion," there being, as the census remarks, at least 100 arpents of beautifully cleared land in the neighborhood of this village, cleared, no doubt, by the twenty-one German families, the founders of the first village. But now, the census continues, these three men also want to leave and move to the other village (the second one), nearer to those abandoned lands, which they would now like to take up. This, the census man thinks, would be right as far as those lands are concerned which were abandoned more than a year ago, because the parties who left had in the meantime been able to clear enough new land to support their families and to continue farming. The fourteen families remaining in the second village, nearer the river, were all doing well, except the widows, and did not think of moving. Having completed the two villages in the rear, the compiler of the census now evidently begins again at the river front, going down.

The land immediately above New Orleans and on the same side of the Mississippi, beginning beyond the moat of the upper town limit (now foot of Bienville street), and extending up to the center of the great bend of the river at Southport, beyond Carrollton, belonged to M. Bienville — in all, 213 arpents river front. The lower portion of Bienville's land — from Bienville street to somewhere about Felicity road, 58*4 arpents' front — Bienville reserved for his own habitation. Of this tract he sold a part to the Jesuit fathers. From Felicity road up to Southport he placed, as has been stated, twelve German and a few French families, most of whom received their titles on and after the first of January, 1723. But by the time the census of 1724 was taken, a number of these had left. The fact that the Germans had already once before lost their all by a great hurricane and inundation, and the failure of Bienville to build a levee, although he had guaranteed one to them in their titles, and the consequent inundations they were subjected to even in the first year, together with the exacting conditions of rental to be fulfilled — all these were causes to compel these people to sell out their contracts as quickly as they could. Some had already left during the first year, and Jacob Huber, the last German to remain on Bienville's land, stayed only from 1723 to 1727. Partly from census reports, and partly from chains of titles of Bienville's hands, the author has been able to ascertain the names of most of the German storm victims who settled on Bienville's lands : Peter Bayer from Wankenloch, near Durlach, Baden, who had taken six arpents of Bienville's land above New Orleans. Caspar Hegli, a Swiss, from near Lucerne. "Six arpents. Catholic ; 35 years old. His wife. A daughter. Two orphan boys. A cow, a heifer, a young bull, and three pigs. Two years on the place. Used two and a half barrels of seed rice and did not make more than three barrels on account of inundat1on. Has a very fine garden enclosed by palisades. He has made a good levee and is a good worker. He deserves a negro." (Census of 1724.) [[Huber-1583|Jacob Huber]], with six arpents. "Native of Suevia, Germany. Catholic; 45 years old. His wife, son of 16 years. One engage. One cow, one heifer, a pig. Made no crop on account of inundation. Good worker." (Census of 1724.)Jacob Huber's son Christoph married Marie Josephine St. Ives. Descendants write the name now "Oubre", " Ouvre", "Hoover". ' [[Cretzman-6|Andreas Krestmann]] , or Christmann, from Augsburg, with his two sons, 10 and 12 years old. Six arpents. "Wheelwright. His wife. Two orphan girls, eight and fifteen years old. Two years on the place. A cow, a heifer, a calf and three pigs. He is industrious and is at work fencing in his cleared land. He made a good levee and paid in advance the workmen who made it for him at a cost of 100 pistoles. Deserves a negro." These four men occupied a portion of Bienville's land from the present First street of New Orleans to Napoleon avenue. Further up, beginning about the upper line of Audubon Park, were: To be completed: Simon Kuhn, of Weissenburg, Ansbach, Bavaria. "His wife, daughter, son-in-law, Daniel Hopf, 20 years of age of Cassen, diocese of Spire. Orphan boy, 12 years old. Cow, calf, three pigs. One year on the land. Had to change his engagements twice, having been forced to give up his cabin on account of water. Good worker." (Census of 1724.) An elder daughter of Simon Kuhn, Anna Kuhn, was the widow of Johann Adam Zweig (Labranche), who had died in Biloxi. She had a daughter of the age of 12 years. The orphan boy, 12 years old, was, no doubt a relative, and very likely that Jean Labranche who, in 1737, married Susanna Marchand and became the progenitor of all the Labranche families in Louisiana. [[Bopff-1|Daniel Hopf]] (French spelling "Yopf" and "Poff") married, in 1727, Anna Maria Werich, of Lampaitz, German Lorraine. A daughter of this second marriage, Renee "Poff", married, 1752, in Pointe Coupee, Pierre Baron. [[Thomas Lesch]] (now "Leche" and "Laiche"), with three arpents. " His wife. One engage." (Census of 1726.) Thomas Lesch married, in 1725, in the cathedral of New Orleans, Anna Schoderbecker of Wurtemberg. Only daughters were born from this marriage: Margarethe Lesch married one Peter Engel, a carpenter, whose name occurs also in the spelling "Aingle", " Ingle", "Hingle", and "Engle". There were three sons, Simon, Sylvestre and Santjago Hingle, who married into the Bura family in Plaquemines parish (Bura's Settlement). The "Hingle" family is quite numerous there. Regina Lesch, another daughter of Thomas Lesch, married one Christian Philippson. Joseph Strantz, with three arpents. One Mueller, with six arpents. [[Weber-3061|Johann Weber]] , the progenitor of the "Webre" families in Louisiana, with six arpents near the upper limits of Bienville's lands, now Carrollton. He was born near Fort Kehl, Baden, and was then 24 years old. (Census of 1724.) His wife was Marie Stadler, who came to Louisiana with her parents, Ulrich and Maria Stadler, on one of the four pest ships. "Mother-in-law, an orphan girl, aged 16 years. Cow, heifer, bull, four pigs. One year on the place." The conditions under which these lands were given to the German storm victims by Bienville, were: From six to eight livres annual ground rent for each arpent and, every year, two capons and two days' work "in the form of corvee" for each arpent. Jacob Huber paid eight livres ground rent. Bienville subjected even the Jesuit fathers, who, on the first of May, 1728, bought five arpents from him, to conditions similar to these, including even that of corvte. This is true, also, of the Canadians who held lands from him on the Algiers side of the river. The people of Bienville's lands must also repay the advances made to them by Bienville. These consisted usually of provisions for one year, a cow in calf, two hogs, four chickens with a cock, and the necessary utensils and agricultural implements. Continuing our trip up the river, on the left side, we find n 1724 the habitations and concessions of Dartigniere & Benac, Henry Pellerin, Cousin, Vaquir, Dire (Dire leaved in Cannes Brulees), d'Artagnan, Chautreau de Beaumont, Pujeau & Ka- vasse, Meran & Ferandou, Bouette, Chaval, Chesneau, Dauny, and Pierre Brou. The habitations of Chesneau and Dauny were later, after 1727, acquired by Caspas Dubs (Toups) and Ambros Heidel ( Haydel), who, in 1724, were yet neighbors on the other side of the river on the German Coast. Continuing our trip up the river, we find in 1724 the habitations of Pommier, Picollier, Sainton, Dizier, Dejean, and Pel- loin. Then we meet again Germans : [[Peter Schmidt]] , from the Palatinate. Catholic; 34 years old. His wife, his brother-in-law, aged 17 years. Three arpents cleared, which he had bought for 400 livres. [[Bartholomaeus Yens]] (?), of Cologne. Catholic; 25 years old. A brewer. His wife, with a child at the breast. Three arpents cleared. Then we pass the habitations of St. Pierre, St. Julien, Go- bert, Reux, Caution, Guichard, Piquery, Petit de Livilliers, Du- cros, Lantheaume. Then comes : [[ Joseph Ritter]], of Durlach, Baden, 52 years old, a carpenter. His wife, a son of 20 years, two orphan girls of 14 and 19 years. About three years on the place. Three pigs. Works at his trade. "Is a good worker and deserves some negroes." Then we come to the Baillifs, [[Claude Baillif]] from Picardy, and Joseph Bailliff, of Dieux, in German Lorraine, aged 22 years. His wife. Eight arpents cleared, which he had bought for 250 livres. His widow married later Michael Zehringer, of whom we shall hear soon. [[Schmidt-1251|Nik. Schmitz]], of Frankfurt. Catholic; 40 years of age. His wife. A daughter of 18 and one of six years. Eight arpents, which he had bought for 800 livres. "Made a good levee and is a good worker." [[Peter Bayer]] . Catholic; 23 years old. His wife. Two arpents of land, which he had bought for 210 livres, having given up the land which he had from Governor Bienville. . He brought all his things with him. Had not made more than two barrels of rice and a quantity of girammons, which was all that was left to him after paying M. Bienville. "Is a very good worker and satisfied with his small piece of land for his fortune." [[Johann Fuchs]] , of the canton of Berne, Switzerland. Catholic; 38 years old. His wife, with a daughter at her breast. Four arpents, for which he had paid 250 livres. About one year on the place. "On account of sickness and misery he made no crop." [[Lorem Ritter, Jr.]] , aged 20 years. Begins to establish himself on eight arpents. From there up the left bank to where the census enumerator of 1724 stopped, there lived only Frenchmen and Canadians. As the census of 1724, the first one to give the names of the German habitants, covers only the territory above New Orleans, and does not contain the names of the orphans staying with the German families, nor of the numerous engages, many German people consequently remained unaccounted for. If the registers of the chapel on the German Coast, of which the census of 1724 speaks, and which had a resident priest as early as 1729, had not been lost, and if the records of the St. Louis Cathedral, in New Orleans, had not been to a great extent destroyed in the great fire of March 21st, 1788, many of these names could be recovered. As matters stand, only the cathedral records from 1720 to 1732 are available, which together with scattered court records and other official papers will be used here. == NOT IN THE CENSUS == Additional German names of the period, not in the census: [[Zeringer-1|MICHAEL ZEHRINGER]] , the progenitor of all the "Zeringue" families in Louisiana. He signed his name in German script " Michael Zehringer." He was from Franconia, Bavaria. His name appears first on the passenger list of the ship "Le Dromadaire" in 1720, together with sixty workmen under the command of de la Tour, the chief engineer of the colony. In 1721 Zehringer heads the list of "ouvriers" of the king as master carpenter. In 1722 we find Michael Zehringer in Biloxi, where in tearing down a house he found, according to a proces verbal still existing, a number of articles which had been taken away from the old fort and hidden there. In the same year his wife, Ursula Spaet, died, and, six weeks later, his daughter Salome, aged 18 years. In the next year he married Barbara Haertel, the widow first of Magnus Albert (who came over with her in one of the pest ships) and then of Joseph Bailliff. By her Zehringer had four sons: Michael, Pierre Laurent, Joseph, and Jean Louis. The census of 1731 mentions Michael Zehringer as living below Chapitoulas, somewhere in the Sixth District of New Orleans. His family then consisted of his wife and three children. He had one engage, twelve negroes, four negresses and twenty-seven cows. He died in 1738, and one of the witnesses in his succession was Louis Wiltz. [[Wiltz-47| JOHANN LUDWIG WILTZ]], the progenitor of the New Orleans branch of the Wiltz family, is not mentioned in the census. Johann Ludwig Wiltz, of Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany, was born in 1711. (He wrote his name "Wilsz" as does the family in Eisenach to the present day.) In a later official document referring to the disposition of some land belonging to him, it is stated that his father-in-law, Wm. Siriac, was living on it. Siriac (see census of 1724, No. 5) had but one daughter, who, at the taking of the census of 1731 no longer lived with her parents. So the marriage of Louis Wiltz may have occurred in 1731, when Wiltz was twenty years of age. At the taking of the census of 1724, he was only thirteen years old, and he was therefore almost certainly one of the orphans whose names are not mentioned in the census of 1724. [[Katzenberger-63|JOHANN KATZENBERGER]] , who, in 1722, while yet an engage, married Christine "de Viceloque" (from Wiesloch, near Heidelberg,Germany), lived in the village of Gentilly, one and a half miles from New Orleans. He was from Heidelberg. In Gentilly he had an engage and eight arpents of land. The name of the family has been changed into "Gasbergue." [[SIMON BERLINGER]] , of Blaubayern in Wurtemberg, was Katzenberger's neighbor in Gentilly. He had a wife and a son, and owned eight arpents of land. His first wife was Cath. Rode, the widow of Jacob Herkomm, who had died "aux Alle- mands." In 1725 Berlinger married Elise Flick of Biel, Baden, whose first husband, Joseph Ziegler, had died in L'Orient. Berlinger later moved up to the German Coast. [[ JOHANN WEISS ]] with his little son lived on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. There were then only five families with fourteen persons living on the lake shore. One of them was called "Lacombe," and it may be that "Bayou Lacombe," between Bonfuca and Mandeville, was named after that family. Descendants of this Joh. Weiss live in Pointe Coupee. [[WEISSKRAEMER]] . Down near the mouth of the Mississippi, at a point called "Fort Balize," was the family of Weisskraemer, from Bavaria. [[WICHNER]] . Then there were the progenitors of all the " Vicner," "Vicnair," and "Vickner" families. Nik. "Wichner" came in 1720 with his wife, Therese, and a child of one year on board the ship "L' Elephant," and was destined for the concession of Le Blanc, on the Yazoo River. His wife died some years afterward, and then he married Barbara Friedrich, the widow of Friedrich Merkel (see census of 1724, Nos. 2 and 50). The little child the Wichners brought from Germany seems to have survived, for the records of Pointe Coupee inform us that in 1777 " Gratien Vicner (Gratian probably stands for "Christian"), the son of Nik. Vicner and Theresa ..." married Marie Louise Cortez", and, in the same year, a child was born to them — Marie Louise. Sons of Nik. Wichner and Barbara Friedrich married there, too, about this time : 1772: Antoine Vicner, son of Nik. Vicner and Barbara Friedrich, married Perinne Cuvellier, daughter of Pierre C. and Marie Arrayo", and 1777: "David Vicner, son of Nik. V. and Barb. Friedrich, married Marie Margarethe Cuvellier, a sister of Perinne". She died 1781 in St. John the Baptist. On board the same vessel by which Nik. Wichner and his family came to Louisiana there was one Francois Wichner. [[Wichner-6|FRANCOIS WICHNER]] , his wife Charlotte and two children, two and four years old. Charlotte Wichner died in New Orleans in 1727, and her husband died in Pointe Coupee in 1728 as "habitant and entrepreneur." Yet the name of this family does not appear in any census enumeration until 1731, when "Nik. Wichner, his wife and a child" are entered as habitants of Cannes Bailees. [[RICHNER]] (Rixner). From a petition addressed by the tutor of the children of de la Chaise to the Superior Council in 1730, we learn that one Rixner, a German, (signatures of the family prove that the original name was "Richner") had been manager of a plantation below New Orleans for three years. His time would expire in June, 1730, and a family meeting should have been called at that time to arrange for a continuance of the improvements on said plantation. In the census enumerations Johann Georg Richner appears for the first time in 1731. He lived then opposite New Orleans, two lieues above the town. There was then also a "Rixner fils," who was not yet married and who owned three negroes and three cows. Richner's daughter Margarethe married, in 1728, Jacob Kindler, a Swiss, and died the same year. Richner's wife was a sister of Ambros Heidel's mother. Johann Georg Richner came to Louisiana on board "La Saone," one of the four pest ships, in 1721. His name is not contained in the census of 1724. [[SCHAF ]] (Chauffe). Then there was the family of Schaf, of Weissenburg. Jacob Schaf and his wife Marianne sailed with five children for Louisiana on the pest ship "La Garonne" on the 24th of January, 1721. From church records it appears that the wife of Ambros Heidel (Haydel), Anna Margarethe, was a daughter of Schaf. Ambros Heidel had also a brother-in- law with him. Another daughter of Schaf married one Claireaux, and later, as her second husband, Franz Anton Steiger, from the diocese of Constance, Baden, while Anton Schaf, the eldest son, became the son-in-law of Andreas Schenck in 1737 ( see census of 1724, No. 35). Yet no census mentions the Schaf family. [[Schexnayder-23|Henri Albert Schexnayder]] . On the same ship and on the same day sailed from L'Orient the Scheckschneider family, Hans Reinhard Scheckschneider, his wife and two children. One son, Jacob, was landed in Brest and died there. Nothing more is heard of the parents, and only after 1730 their second son, Albert "Seg- shneider," the progenitor of the numerous Scheckschneider families appears as a habitant. He, too, must have been one of the many nameless orphans whom the census of 1724 mentions in connection with the German families. [[ZWEIG]] (Labranche). On the 24th of January, 1721, there sailed on the pest ship "Les Deux Freres" from L'Orient a second Zweig family, Jean Zweig, with his wife and two children, who came from the neighborhood of Bamberg, Bavaria, Germany. The parents probably died before the census of 1724 was taken; their daughter was married as early as 1724 to Joseph Verret, but nothing is heard of the second child of the Zweig family, a little son,88 until he, in 1737, bought land at what is now called "Waggaman," on the right bank of the Mississippi, opposite the habitation of his brother-in-law, Verret, who lived in "La Providence," on the left bank. There young Zweig married Susanna Marchand, of St. Marcellin, Grenoble, France, but then an orphan in the Ursuline Convent in New Orleans. The marriage contract which the author found in official acts in the custody of the "Louisiana Historical Society" was signed on the 6th of November, 1737. In this marriage contract the officiating French notary changed the name "Zweig" into "Labranche." The name Zweig being difficult to pronounce and still more difficult to write, as it contains sounds for which the French language has no signs, and young Zweig not being able to sign his name (so the contract states), it was but natural for the French notary to inquire into the meaning of the word " Zweig." Hearing that it meant in French "la branche," he put " Labranche" down as the family name of the bridegroom, and this has remained the family name ever since. The Labranche family has preserved to the present day the tradition of its German descent and of the original name "Zweig." Having also found the joint last will and testament of Jean Zweig and Susanna Marchand made on the 21st of October, 1780, as well as the papers of the Labranche-Marchand succession, settled in 1785, the writer is able to give the correct list of the children of Jean Zweig and Susanna Marchand. As to the later descendants thanks are due to Chas. Theodore Soniat Dufossat, Esq., one of the many distinguished descendants of the Labranche family, whose mother, Marie Amenaide Labranche, was a granddaughter of Michael Labranche, the eldest son of Jean Zweig. CHILDREN OF JEAN ZWEIG (LABRANCHE) AND SUSANNA MARCHAND. 1. Michel Labranche, who married Louise Fortier and left seven children. He died in 1787.

Alexander Labranche, one of the signers of the constitution of 1812, married a Miss Piseros and left five children. His son, Octave, became Speaker of the Louisiana House of Representatives. His son Alcee was also Speaker of the House of Representatives, Member of Congress, and United States Ambassador to the Republic of Texas. Female descendants of Alexander Labranche married into the Tricou, de la Barre, Soniat, Dufossat, Chalard, Dupuy, Meteye, Dauphine, Michel, Sarpy, Heidel ( Haydel), Fortier (o grandson of Edmund Fortier and F elicit e Labranche, is Professor Alcee Fortier of the Tulane University of Louisiana), Ganucheau, Aime, Piseros, Villere, Augustin, Schreiber, Toby, Frederic, Brou, Le Blanc, Grevenberg, Berault, Lal- land, Blois, Wood, Jumonville, Bouligny, Albert Baldwin, and Dr. Smythe families. 3.

[[Category:Louisiana Acadian Coast Settlers]] [[Category: 18th Century American Immigration]] [[Category:Louisiana Immigration]] [[Category: Mississippi River Migration and Settlements]] [[Category: Acadian Immigrants to Louisiana]] [[Category: Louisiana]] [[Category:Louisiana Families]] {{ProjectLouisiana}} '''History of the Louisiana Acadian Coast''' When the Acadian expulsion (''Le Grand Derangement'') began in 1755, the banks of the Mississippi River above the German Coast were populated only by scattered Native American settlements and a few retired French veterans who preferred the solitude of the wilderness. New Orleans needed more food for its growing population and the colonial government was encouraging new settlements upriver. In 1762, Jacques Cantrelle, a survivor of the Natchez Massacre and popular New Orleans resident acquired a large land grant above the German Coast in what is now St. James Parish. Two of his sons-in-law, Nicholas Verret and Louis Judice, received grants on either side of Cantrelle's property and moved their families upstream to establish plantations on the west bank of the river. The elderly Cantrelle remained in New Orleans until his sons-in-law had built houses and cleared enough land to begin farming. Establishing a plantation on the river was a difficult task, requiring the construction of a levee to control flooding as well as clearing the land. The Cantrelles needed labor for their new plantations and the Acadian refugees arrived just in time to provide it. The first documented group of Acadians to reach Louisiana arrived in the spring of 1764. The French colonial government was in the process of turning over administrative duties to a new Spanish governor. The outgoing French official d'Abbadie welcomed four Acadian families (POIRIER, RICHARD, CORMIER and LANDRY), a total of 21 individuals, equipped them with some supplies, and sent them to Nicholas Verret who assigned them to farmland in his area on the west bank in modern day St. James Parish. By this time, the central Cantrelle plantation was named "''Cabahannocer''," a Native American term for a duck roosting place, and the larger region was called "the Cabahannocer Coast". The Acadians quickly adapted their Canadian farming skills to the Louisiana requirements, learning how to construct levees and work the marshy soil of the Cabahannocer Coast to grow new sorts of crops. Their labor was also essential to the establishment of the Cantrelle family plantations. Riverfront land was good for agriculture, but space was too limited for cattle ranches (''vacheries''), and meat was in short supply in the New Orleans area. As the new Spanish government took control of the colony, a settlement plan was developed to assign new arrivals to raise cattle in the more open grasslands on Bayou Teche in the Attakapas District. The new policy had just been announced when the second wave of Acadian refugees reached Louisiana. Led by Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil, 193 Acadians arrived in New Orleans in February 1765 and were welcomed warmly by the new acting governor, Charles Philippe Aubry, who had worked previously with Acadian exiles in New England. Aubry equipped them as well as he could and sent the entire group under Broussard's supervision to the Attakapas District in April 1765. By the end of the year, however, a yellow fever epidemic forced many of the Bayou Teche settlers to abandon their farms and ranches and flee eastward to join the earlier Acadians on the Cabahannocer Coast. By the spring of 1766, the numbers of Acadians on both banks of the Mississippi River had grown so quickly that people were now referring to the area under military control of Cantrelle's son-in-law Nicholas Verret as the (first) "Acadian Coast" in what is now St. James Parish. Verret's militia company in April 1766 included many new Acadian surnames (e.g., LEBLANC, SAUNIER, DUPUIS, BLANCHARD, DOIRON, LAMBERT etc.). When another large group of Acadian refugees arrived from Maryland in September 1766, the new Spanish administration decreed that they should be settled far upriver at St. Gabriel and Fort Natchez in order to fortify the northern boundary against the British. Another fifty Acadian families arrived in New Orleans in July 1767 and were sent quickly by Governor Ulloa to strengthen the new settlement at St. Gabriel. Throughout 1767 and 1768, Indian raids, dysentery from polluted water, erosion and other difficulties prompted the Acadians at St. Gabriel and Natchez to petition the governor to move downstream but Governor Ulloa refused to allow the relocation. In October 1768, many of these desperate settlers joined the Fort Natchez revolt against the Spanish, forcing Ulloa to allow them to move to a "second" Acadian Coast under military supervision of Cantrelle's other son-in-law, Louis Judice, in what is now Ascension Parish. The last massive immigration of Acadian refugees to Louisiana occurred between May and October 1785, when many of the remaining Acadians in France arrived on the famous "Seven Ships." Almost all of these 1,574 Acadians were settled west of the newly established Acadian Coasts, in Bayou Lafourche, Manchac, Baton Rouge and Bayou des Ecores. While some of these new arrivals eventually joined earlier relatives on the river, most of them remained in the central plains and bayous and tended to migrate westward. Thus, by 1785, the Acadian Coast was well-established and had a stable population on both banks of the Mississippi River. Large churches at St. James and Donaldsonville served as population centers which developed into modern day St. James and Ascension Parishes. '''REFERENCES''' * Lillian C.

[[Category:Louisiana Families Project]] [[Category:Reliable Sources for Pre-1700 Profiles]] '''''This page is a work in progress!''''' The Louisiana Families Project covers a period from the time of the first European exploration in the 1600s, through statehood in 1812, through to today. The purpose of this document is to provide guidance for source information, especially during the earlier periods of the state's history. ''There are very few resources that cover the pre-1700 period, but they will be added to this list as this list is developed.'' == Reliable Sources == In general, the most reliable sources include original civil or church registers and documents created at or very near to the time of the events being documented. * '''Catholic Church records''': baptisms, marriages, burials, and other acts such as confirmations, etc. These are available through the various Diocesan Archives departments. Examples are: ** '''Diocese of Baton Rouge Archives'''. Record extracts have been published in a series of 22 volumes covering the period of 1722-1900. Another volume of Baptisms, 1901-1905, was published in paperback format. Additional future volumes are planned for the other sacramental records after 1900. Parishes covered are Pointe Coupee, Iberville, St. James, Ascension, Assumption, East and West Baton Rouge, and East and West Feliciana. ** '''Sacramental Records of New Orleans Archdiocese'''. Record extracts have been published in a series of 19 volumes covering the period 1718-1831. Parishes covered are Orleans, St. Bernard, St. Charles, and St. John the Baptist. Several volumes are now out of print, and have been published online by the archdiocese. In addition, many of the early ''original'' parish records have been published online in PDF format. * '''Rev. Donald J. Hebert''' publications of extracts from the original church and courthouse records in predominantly Acadian parishes. These volumes are widely available in libraries throughout Louisiana, and in many other major genealogical collections in the U.S. These extracts do occasionally contain errors, and may not contain every bit of genealogical information available in the original registers, but in general are considered to be reliable. The major works include: ** '''Southwest Louisiana Records''', covering 1750-1915 in 47 volumes, and 1750-1900 on CD. Parishes covered are St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary, Lafayette, Acadia, Calcasieu, Jefferson Davis, Cameron, Iberia, Evangeline, and Vermilion. ** '''South Louisiana Records''', covering 1794-1920 in 12 volumes. (Note that records from the period 1903-1920 are incomplete.) Parishes covered are Lafourche and Terrebonne. == Unreliable Sources, with Exceptions == Some sources are a mixed bag, containing a mix of valid and questionable (unsourced) data. Determining what is reliable and what is not is key to using and documenting these sources. * '''Find A Grave memorials''': Find A Grave was originally conceived as a site containing information obtained from an actual gravestone or cemetery record. Unfortunately, for many of the profiles, this is no longer the case. '''''Most pre-1700 memorials as well as many others are without an actual burial place and burial details, and are in fact reconstructed from trees. These cannot be used as sources for pre-1700 profiles.''''' Some memorials are more reliable, especially those displaying photos of the actual headstones and those that cite their sources. But note that at best, a Find A Grave record can be used as a primary source for the burial location, and secondarily for dates of birth and death, only if its information is from the actual headstone or cemetery record. Anything else -- including places of birth or death, links to family members, biographical data -- fall into the same category as user-contributed trees. If the Find A Grave profile cites another source for its data (such as an obituary or census record for example), that source should be sought out, evaluated for relevancy, and cited on its own merits. If that isn't possible, it should be mentioned as part of the Findagrave memorial's citation. == Unreliable Sources == Unreliable sources include those sources which state "facts" without sufficient data to back them up.

New Orleans, Louisiana, the largest city in the entire South, was strategically important as a port city due to its location along the Mississippi River and its access to the Gulf of Mexico, and the United States War Department very early on planned on its capture. It was taken by Federal troops on April 25, 1862. Because a large part of the population had Union sympathies (or compatible commercial interests), the Federal government took the unusual step of designating the areas of Louisiana then under Federal control as a state within the Union, with its own elected representatives to the U.S. Congress. For the latter part of the war, both the Union and the Confederacy recognized their own distinct Louisiana governors.[[Wikipedia:Louisiana in the Civil War]]. === Free Sites === *[http://www.archives.gov/research/military/civil-war/resources.html National Archives] *[http://www.archives.gov/research/alic/reference/military/civil-war-resources.html Military Resources Civil War] *[http://www.civil-war.net/ The Civil War Home Page] *[http://www.lib.lsu.edu/cwc/ LSU Special Collections] *[http://www.louisianacivilwar.org/p/resource-links.html?m=1 Louisiana in the Civil War Resource Links] *[http://www.slpl.lib.mo.us/libsrc/stateconfed.htm State Archived not in the Holdings of the Federal Archives] *[http://www.pbs.org/civilwar/classroom/archival_resources.html PBS Civil War Classroom] *[http://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Louisiana_in_the_Civil_War Family Search Louisiana in the Civil War] *[http://blueandgraytrail.com/battles/Louisiana The Blue and Gray Trail] ==== Union ==== *[http://www.civilwararchive.com/unionla.htm Civil War Archive: Louisiana Union Regiments] *[http://www.suvcwdb.org/ Louisiana Sons of Union Soldiers Grave Registration] *[http://www.ajc.com/news/news/local/daughters-of-union-soldiers-honor-their-ancestors/ndPnd/ Daughters of Union Soldiers] ==== Confederate ==== *[http://youngsanders.org/youngsanderssoldierscommands.html Military Records of Louisiana Confederate - Young Sanders Center] *[http://www.sos.la.gov/HistoricalResources/ResearchHistoricalRecords/LocateHistoricalRecords/Pages/ConfederatePensionDatabase.aspx Confederate Pension Database] *[http://www.usgwarchives.net/la/military/wbts.htm US GenWeb Louisiana Confederate Soldiers] *[http://www.sonofthesouth.net/ Sons of the South Harper's Weekly] *[http://www.louisianaudc.org/ Louisiana UDC] *[https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Louisiana,_Civil_War_Service_Records_of_Confederate_Soldiers_(FamilySearch_Historical_Records) Family Search Lousiana Confederate Records] *[http://www.penandsaber.com/grays28th/index.html Gray's 28th Infantry Louisiana Muster Roll] === Paid Sites === [http://www.civilwardata.com/ American Civil War Database] Annual Membership $25, visitor pass $10.

Dr. Brasseaux noted that "the oldest of the pioneer communities, called first ''le dernier camp d’en bas,'' and later ''Fausse Pointe,'' was established near present-day Loreauville by late June 1765." He suggested some Acadians soon moved, and in 1766 the new colonists in the Attakapas were settled there and in three other locations. Two of these locations may have been adjacent to each other. The theorized locations were determined primarily upon examination of the 25 April 1766 Spanish Census and available land records. *[http://attakapasgazette.org/vol-3-2014/initial-acadian-settlement/ A New Look at the Initial Acadian Settlement Location in the Attakapas] by Donald J.

A son, Jean-Baptiste Cormier fils, born 24 September 1734[3], was separated from his parents during exile and was imprisoned in Halifax [see separate writeup on him]. The rest of this family was deported to Georgia where on a prisoner list dated 23 August 1763[4] is found: Jean Cormier, his wife, 5 children [Jean Cormier age 57 Madeleine Richard age 54 Madeleine age 19, born 1744 Marie age 17, born 1746 Marie-Anne 16, born 14 November 1746[5] Marguerite age 13, born 1750 Anastasie age 11, born 1752][6] This family, along with 3 other close-knit families, boarded a ship in December 1763 to leave Georgia. In the [Savannah] GEORGIA GAZETTE dated December 22, 1763[7] is found: "Yesterday more of the Acadians, in number about 21, went in a vessel for Mobile, from which place they are to go to New Orleans." "Sailed for Mobile Dec. 21, Sloop Savannah Packet, John Somerville [Master]" These Acadians arrived in Mobile on or just before 22 January 1764 where the marriage of Jean-Baptiste Poirier and Madeleine Richard was blessed by the first priest they had seen in years. A copy of this ceremony is in Vidrine’s “Love’s Legacy[8]. Note this indicates a journey of about one month to Mobile. In the GEORGIA GAZETTE dated 26 February 1764, the return of the ''Savannah Packet'' to Savannah is noted[9], a return voyage of one month. This indicates the Acadians in Mobile boarded a different ship for New Orleans which could have been bound from New York to New Orleans. They arrived on or just before 26 February 1764. Sometime after 6 April 1764, this family settled on the west bank of the Mississippi just down river from Verret’s Plantation. Jean-Baptiste Cormier fils came from Attakapas and rejoined his family after coming to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard in February 1765. Madeleine Cormier married 31 March 1766[10] Simon Mire, born 1744, son of Pierre Mire [Lemire] and Isabelle Thibodeau[11] and on the same date Marie Cormier married[12] Michel Poirier, born 1738, parents unknown. In the 29 June 1766 Cabaanocé Lower Coast (Verret’s Company) census [13] is found: [Jean-Baptiste] Cormié man age 60 Madeleine [Richard] woman age 57 [Jean-Baptiste] Cormié [fils] man age 30 Marianne girl age 19 Marguerite girl age 16 Annassetazie girl age 14 In the 9 April 1766 Cabaanocé Upper Coast census[14] are found: Simon Mire age 22 Magdelaine Cormier wife age 22 Michel Poirier age 28 Marie Cormier wife age 20 In the 14 September 1769 Cabaanocé Upper Coast census[15] are found: Family #99 Michel Poirier age 31 Marie Cormier, wife age 24 Pierre Poirier, son age 3 Joseph, son age 8 mos.

Marie, daughter age 2 === Part 2=== JEAN-BAPTISTE CORMIER/MADELEINE RICHARD (CONTINUED) by Roger Rozendal Unfortunately, no 1769 census has been found to date covering the area of the 1766 Cabaanocé Lower Coast census. The next available census for this area is the 1 January 1777 St. James Parish census. Jean-Baptiste Cormier, fils, 1768 married Marguerite Bourg, born 1749, daughter of Joseph Bourg[1] and Marie Landry[2]. They lived along the Mississippi River until at least 12 November 1775 (baptism of son, Jean-Baptiste[3]), but after that moved to Attakapas. Marie-Anne Cormier 1768 married Joseph Landry, born 1750, son of Olivier Landry[4] and Cécile Poirier[5]. In the 1 January 1777 St. James Parish census[6] is found: Joseph Landry age 27 [Marie-] Anne Cormier wife age 30 Joseph son age 7 On 7 January 1771[7], Marguerite Cormier married Firmin Girouard, born 1750, son of Louis (dit Paul) Girouard[8] and Marie Thibodeau[9].
