Acadians Who Found Refuge in Louisiana, February 1764-early 1800s
[DEG, DEG-ul, DAY-gul]
ACADIA
Olivier Daigre, born in France in c1643, reached Acadia by c1666, the year he married Marie, daughter of Denis Gaudet and Martine Gauthier. Between 1667 and 1681, Olivier and Marie had 10 children, seven sons and three daughters. Olivier died at Port-Royal before c1686, in his early 40s, and Marie remarried to a Fardel or Fredelle. Two of Olivier's daughters married into the Sibilau, Gouzil, Poitevin dit Parisien, and Tennier or Thénière families. One of them, Marie, had "natural" daughters with Gabriel Moulaison dit Recontre and Louis Blin. Olivier's youngest daughter and her family perished aboard the British transport Violet in a North Atlantic storm during the deportation of the island Acadians to France in late 1758. Only two of Olivier's sons created families of their own, at Port-Royal, Minas, and in the French Maritimes.
Third son Bernard, born at Port-Royal in c1670, married Marie-Claire, daughter of Bernard Bourg and Françoise Brun, probably at Port-Royal in c1691. They moved to the Minas Basin, where they lived for a time on Rivière-Kenescout and at Grand-Pré before moving to L'Assomption, Pigiguit. They had 13 children, including nine sons who married into the Richard, Gautrot, Testard dit Paris, Landry, Breau, Doucet, Boudrot, Hébert dit Manuel, and Vincent families. One of their daughters married into the Hébert dit Manuel family. Bernard and many of his children moved from Minas to Île St.-Jean, today's Prince Edward Island, by the early 1750s probably to escape British authority in Nova Scotia. A granddaughter settled at La Baleine and Lorembec on Île Royale, today's Cape Breton Island. Bernard died at Port-La-Joye, Île St.-Jean, in January 1751, age 80.
Olivier's fifth son Olivier, fils, born at Port-Royal in c1674, married Jeanne, daughter of Guillaume Blanchard and Huguette Gougeon, at Port-Royal in c1699. They remained in the Port-Royal area, where they had six children, including three sons who married into the Arseneau, Cormier, Granger, and Thériot families. Their three daughters married into the Thériot, Trahan, and Richard families. Olivier, fils's sons moved to Chignecto and Minas.
[For more of this family in pre- and post-dispersal Acadia and Canada, see Book Three]
In 1755, descendants of Olivier Daigre, père could be found at Annapolis Royal; Grand-Pré and l'Assomption, Pigiguit, in the Minas Basin; Chignecto; the trois-rivières area west of Chignecto; and on Île St.-Jean and Île Royale in the French Maritimes. By then, the family's name had evolved from Daigre to Daigle, though some members of the family retained the original spelling.

LOUISIANA: RIVER SETTLEMENTS
The first descendant of Olivier Daigre, père to find refuge in Louisiana came in September 1766 from Maryland. Agnès-Marie, daughter of Paul Daigle and Marie Hébert of Minas, was only 14 years old when she reached the lower Mississippi Valley probably with relatives. She followed them to Cabanocé/St.-Jacques on the river above New Orleans, where she married Thomas, son of fellow Acadians Joseph Thériot and Françoise Melanson, in April 1771. They settled at St.-Jacques, where they were counted on the left, or east, bank of the river in 1777. Agnès died near Baton Rouge in February 1812; the priest who recorded her burial said that she was age 73 when she died, but she was closer to 60. Her succession was filed at the St. Martinville courthouse, St. Martin Parish, the following April, so some of her children must have settled in that area.
~
Not until two decades later, in 1785, did more Acadian Daigles come to the colony. In fact, if the Spanish government had not coaxed over 1,500 Acadians in France to emigrate to Louisiana, there may have been no Acadian Daigle families in the Bayou State today. Most of them chose to go to river communities:
Charles Daigle of Ste.-Famille, Pigiguit, age 54, and wife Anne-Marie Vincent, age 55, crossed on Le Bon Papa, the first of the Seven Ships of 1785, which reached New Orleans in July. They followed the majority of the passengers from their vessel to Manchac, south of Baton Rouge. Understandably, they had no more children in Louisiana. Anne-Marie died at St.-Gabriel in October 1785, age 55, soon after they got there. Charles remarried to Françoise-Marie or Marie-Françoise, called Françoise, daughter of fellow Acadian Paul Boudreaux of Ste.-Famille and widow of Joseph Clossinet and Marin Dugas, at St.-Gabriel in 1786. Françoise was in her late 40s at the time of the marriage and gave Charles no more children. They moved to upper Bayou Lafourche by the mid-1790s.
.
The largest contingents of Daigles and one of the largest single Acadian family groups to reach the colony--31 Daigles in all--crossed on Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans later in August. They followed the majority of their fellow passengers to Baton Rouge. Many of them settled at the southern edge of the district near Fort Bute, which had been built by the British, just north of Bayou Manchac:
Françoise Daigle, age 55, came with second husband Pierre Richard, age 72, and four children, ages 20 to 11. They remained at Manchac, where Pierre died in November 1794, leaving Françoise a widow again.
Olivier Daigle IV of Rivière-aux-Canards, age 53, twice a widower, came with eight children, all by his second marriage--Victor, age 23, François, age 19, Simon-François, age 18, Jean-Baptiste, age 15, Marie-Geneviève, age 11, Pélagie, age 9, Eulalie, age 6, and Honoré, age 3. Olivier may have lingered at New Orleans with his younger children while his older children moved on to Manchac. He did not remarry again and died probably at Manchac in August 1787, age 55. His daughters married into the Aid, Aucoin, Breaux, and Landry families and remained in the Baton Rouge area, as did his sons, all of whom had families of their own.
Simon-Pierre Daigle, age 50, Olivier's younger brother, came with second wife Anne Michel, age 51, and seven of his children by his first marriage--Marie-Marguerite, age 24, Anne-Geneviève, age 22, Édouard, age 21, Simon-Pierre, fils, age 18, Élisabeth, age 13, Marie-Madeleine, age 11, and Joseph-Michel, age 9. Anne died at Manchac in July 1786, soon after they settled there, in her early 50s. Their daughters married into the Mire, Provenché, and Trahan, families and remained in the Baton Rouge area. One son remained in the Baton Rouge area and had a large family, another moved downriver to the Acadian Coast and created a family line in St. James Parish, and another moved to the Attakapas District, but his line did not survive there. Simon-Pierre, père remarried again--his third marriage--to Rosalie, daughter of fellow Acadian Charles Thériot and widow of Alexandre Aucoin, probably at Baton Rouge in January 1788. His third wife gave him no more children. Simon-Pierre, père died probably at Manchac in October 1792, age 57.
Jean-Baptiste Daigle, age 45, came with French wife Marie-Claudine Valet, age 31, and their 1-year-old son Jean-René, who probably died at sea. Jean-Baptiste and Marie-Claudine remained at Baton Rouge and evidently had no more children. Jean-Baptiste died by March 1795, when Marie-Claudine remarried at Baton Rouge. His line of the family died with him.
François-Marie Daigle, age 45, came with French wife Jeanne Holley, age 47, and four children--Louis-François, age 18, Marie-Jeanne-Jacqueline, age 16, Flore-Adélaïde, age 15, and Marie-Louise, called Louise, age 10. François and Jeanne evidently had no more children in Louisiana. Their daughters married into the Arbour and Tullier families and remained in the Baton Rouge area, as did Louis-François. François, père died near Baton Rouge by September 1790, when he was listed as deceased in two of his daughters' marriage records. Louis-François also married and created a family of his own.
François-Alexandre Daigle, age 22, François-Marie's older son, came with wife Rose-Adélaïde Bourg, age 19, and two children--Émelie-Adélaïde, age 1, and infant François-Joseph. They remained on the river and had more children there, including many sons.
Marguerite-Ange Dubois, age 31, widow of Jean Daigle, came with her 10-year-old son Jean-Louis. Marguerite-Ange remarried twice, to fellow Acadian Charles Granger at Baton Rouge in the late 1780s, and to fellow Acadian Marin Gautreaux, widower of Gertrude Bourg, at Ascension in January 1792. Jean-Louis followed his mother to upper Bayou Lafourche and settled there.
Paul-Olivier Daigle, age 18, an orphan, came with the family of Joseph Doiron. He remained in the Baton Rouge area and created a large family.
Joseph Daigle, age 14, an orphan, came with his uncle Charles Granger, age 33. He was living with an older married sister at Lafourche in the late 1780s and settled on the upper bayou, where he created a large family.
.
Marie LeBlanc, age 25, wife of Jean Daigle, crossed on L'Amitié, the fifth of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in November. With her were two daughters--Marie, age 1, and Marguerite, a newborn. Marie evidently settled in the Isleño community of San Bernardo on the river south of New Orleans. One wonders what happened to her husband.
.
More Daigles crossed on La Ville d'Archangel, the sixth of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in December. They followed the majority of their fellow passengers to the new Acadian settlement of Bayou des Écores north of Baton Rouge. Two hurricanes devastated the settlement in the early 1790s, and most of the Acadians there moved elsewhere, including the Daigles.
Félicité Daigle, age 55, came with husband Jean Pitre, age 58, and six children, ages 20 to 14. When the Acadians abandoned Bayou des Écores in the early 1790s, they went to upper Bayou Lafourche.
Marguerite Daigle, age 45, came with second husband Joseph Hébert, age 50, and five children, ages 18 to infancy, including a daughter from her first marriage to Honoré Richard.
Anne-Josèphe Daigle, age 40, came with husband Jean Bourg, age 50, and eight children, ages 17 to infancy. When the Acadians abandoned Bayou des Écores in the early 1790s, they went to upper Bayou Lafourche.
Marie-Osite Daigle, age 40, came with husband Marin Bourg, age 45, and nine children, ages 22 to 4. When the Acadians abandoned Bayou des Écores in the early 1790s, they went to upper Bayou Lafourche.
Marie-Marguerite Daigle, age 37, came with second husband Louis Clossinet, age 54, and a 16-year-old daughter from her first marriage to Amand Giroir. When the Acadians abandoned Bayou des Écores in the early 1790s, they went to upper Bayou Lafourche.
Marie Daigle, age 24, an "orphan," came with the family of Charles Aucoin.
.
Many of the Daigles who came from France remained on the river and settled in what became East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Iberville, Ascension, and St. James parishes. They were especially numerous in the Baton Rouge/Iberville Parish area, where they preferred to use the original spelling of their surname, Daigre:
Marie-Geneviève Daigre, widow of Arsène Breaux, died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in February 1845, age 71.
Émilie Adélaïde Daigle, wife of Étienne Hébert, fils, died near Brusly, West Baton Rouge Parish, in March 1851. The priest who recorded her burial said that Émilie died at "age 70 yrs.," but she was 67.
Jean-Baptiste DAIGRE, fils (c1740-1790s; Olivier, Olivier, fils)
Jean-Baptiste, fils, son of Jean-Baptiste Daigre and Madeleine Thériot, born perhaps at Rivière-aux-Canards, Minas, in c1740, married Marie-Claudine, daughter of Guillaume Valet and Perrine Catot of Quimperlé, France, probably at Nantes, France, in c1783. Jean-Baptiste worked as a plowman in the mother country. He and Marie-Claudine came to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships from France, in 1785, with their 1-year-old son Jean-René, who evidently died at sea. Jean-Baptiste and Marie-Claudine followed the majority of their fellow passengers to Baton Rouge, where Jean-Baptiste died by March 1795, when his wife remarried there to a French Canadian. Jean-Baptiste would have been in his mid-50s that year. His only son died an infant, and he and his wife had no more children in the colony, so when Jean-Baptiste died, his line of the family died with him.
Jean-René, baptized at St.-Jacques, Nantes, France, age unrecorded, in April 1784, evidently died on the voyage to Louisiana in 1785.
Descendants of Victor DAIGRE (1761-1788; Olivier, Olivier, fils, Olivier III)
Victor, eldest son of Olivier Daigre IV and his second wife Marie-Blanche LeBlanc, was born probably at Falmouth, England, in December 1761. In May 1763, he was repatriated with his family to Morlaix, France, and followed them to Belle-Île-en-Mer, where they were counted in 1765. He became a carpenter when he came of age, followed his widowed father and siblings to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships, in 1785 and settled at Fort Bute, Manchac, south of Baton Rouge, where he married Marguerite-Josèphe, daughter of fellow Acadians Jean Doiron and Anne Thibodeau, in May 1786. Marguerite-Josèphe also had come to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont. Victor died probably at Manchac in December 1788, age 27.
1
Older son Joseph, born at Manchac in May 1787, married Marie, daughter of Spanish Creole Andrés Lopes de Acuna and Catherine Broussard, probably at Manchac. They settled in what became West Baton Rouge Parish. Their son Jean Thomas was born at Manchac in December 1810, and Pierre Joseph Thomas December 1812. Their daughters married into the Breaux and Tullier families.
2
Younger son Jean-Béloni, called Béloni, born at Manchac in October 1788, married cousin Anne Marie or Marie Anne, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean Baptiste Trahan and Anne Geneviève Daigle, probably at Manchac. Their son Pierre Aristide was born probably in West Baton Rouge Parish in December 1829, and Jean Deossilys in June 1832. Their daughters married into the Aillet, Crochet, Doiron, Hébert, Labauve, LeBlanc, and Tullier families. Béloni remarried to French Creole Modeste Prospere and settled near Baton Rouge by the early 1840s. Their son Jean Ulysse was born in January 1845. Their daughter married into the Francis family. Béloni died near Brusly, West Baton Rouge Parish, in November 1853; the priest who recorded his burial said that Béloni died at "age 58 yrs.," but he was 65.
Descendants of François DAIGRE (1765-1839; Olivier, Olivier, fils, Olivier III)
François, second son of Olivier Daigre IV and his second wife Marie-Blanche LeBlanc, was born at Le Palais, Belle-Île-en-Mer, France, in December 1765. He, too, became a carpenter when he came of age, followed his widowed father and siblings to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships, in 1785 and settled at Fort Bute, Manchac, south of Baton Rouge, where he married Servanne-Laurence, sometimes called Honorienne and Marie, daughter of fellow Acadians René Landry and Marguerite Babin, in June 1793. Servanne, sister of François's brother Simon-François's wife, had come to Louisiana aboard La Ville d'Archangel, the sixth of the Seven Ships. François died near Baton Rouge in January 1839, age 73. Only two of his five sons survived childhood and married, and only one of them fathered sons of his own.
1
Oldest son Olivier-François, born at Manchac in October 1793, married cousin Carmelite, daughter of fellow Acadians Paul Olivier Daigre and Marie Richard, at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in January 1816. Was he the Olivier Daigre "from the highlands" who died near Baton Rouge, age unrecorded, in July 1843? If so, he would have been age 49 at the time of his death. Carmelite, called "Mrs. Olivier Daigre," died near Baton Rouge in September 1855, age 59. Did she and Olivier François have any children?
2
Jean-Baptiste, born at Manchac in January 1795, died at age 6 months the following July.

Their son Alphonse Désiré was born near St. Gabriel in May 1852. Forester died near St. Gabriel in January 1868; the priest who recorded his burial said that Florestan, as he called him, died at "age 37 years," but Forester would have been 39.
5
Youngest son Angèl died at Manchac 8 days after his birth in May 1803.
Descendants of Simon-François DAIGRE (1767-1795?; Olivier, Olivier, fils, Olivier III)

His sons settled in Iberville Parish, some near Plaquemine on the west side of the river, others near St. Gabriel, east of the river, and also near Baton Rouge.
3a
Saturin Zenon married Marie Emma, daughter of fellow Acadians Joseph Blanchard and Delphine LeBlanc, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in June 1853, and may have remarried to Elise, perhaps a daughter of W.

Pierre Honoré, born at Manchac in December 1814, may have been the Pierre Daigre who died near Brusly, West Baton Rouge Parish, in November 1855. The priest who recorded the burial said that Pierre died at "age 43 years," but this Pierre would have been a month shy of 41. Did Pierre Honoré ever marry? The recording priest did not give Pierre Daigre's parents' names, nor did he mention a wife.

He was a plowman in the mother country. He and his wife and two of their very young children came to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships from France, in 1785, and followed his parents to Fort Bute, Manchac, south of Baton Rouge. François-Alexandre and Rose-Adélaïde had more children in Louisiana. Their daughters married into the Bossel, Hébert, and Henry families. Only three of their six sons created families of their own, near Baton Rouge.

Treville, by his father's first wife, married Marthe Delaune and settled near Baton Rouge by the early 1840s; one wonders if Marthe was a sister of Edward Delaune, who married Treville's sister Arthémise; if so, Marthe was daughter of Louis Nicolas Delaune of Baton Rouge, a French Creole, not an Acadian. Treville and Marthe's son Joseph Nicolas was baptized at the Donaldsonville church, Ascension Parish, age 2, in October 1848, Treville Lonzo was born near Baton Rouge in January 1849, Augustin Buchannon in October 1856, Charles Forest Lee near Gonzales, Ascension Parish, in December 1864, and Joseph Edgard in August 1870.
1b
François Augustin, by his father's second wife, married cousin Marie Amelia or Eurelia, daughter of fellow Acadians Simon Landry and Anne Velerente Babin, at the Donaldsonville church, Ascension Parish, in October 1848. Their son François Leufroi was born in Ascension Parish in June 1853, Simon Ernest near Baton Rouge in August 1856, Isidore Adélard in Ascension Parish, probably near Gonzales, in April 1858, Amédée René in March 1860, and Silvere Olivier in January 1869. Their daughter married into the Decoteau family.
2
André-Joseph or Joseph-André, also called Béloni, born at St.-Jacques in November 1791, married Adélaïde, daughter of Isleño André Martin of Tenerife, Canary Islands, and Baton Rouge, his Acadian wife Marie Anne Landry, at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in May 1816. Their son Lucien was born at Manchac in May 1818. They also had a son named Joseph Maximilien, called Maxille, who moved to Bayou Teche in the 1840s.
Joseph Maximilien married cousin Marie Aurore, daughter of fellow Acadians Jean Baptiste Henry and Marie Daigle, at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in May 1837. Maxille remarried to Marcellite Ida, daughter of fellow Acadians Anaclet Melançon and Anne Doralise Thibodeaux, at the New Iberia church, then in St. Martin but now in Iberia Parish, in May 1845. They remained on Bayou Teche.
3
Daniel, born at Manchac in January 1795, may have died young.
4
Jean-Baptiste, called John B., baptized at Baton Rouge, age 2 1/2, in November 1801, crossed the Atchafalaya Basin when he came of age and married Marie, daughter of fellow Acadians Joseph Haché and Geneviève LeBlanc of Fausse Pointe, at the St. Martinville church, St. Martin Parish, in September 1823. They lived in Lafayette Parish before returning to the river. Their son Jean Baptiste, fils, was born in Lafayette Parish in October 1825, Treville le jeune was baptized at the Vermilionville church, Lafayette Parish, age 27 days, in November 1829, Enoch was born near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in July 1832 but died at age 1 in September 1833, and Joseph Jean Baptiste was born near Baton Rouge in June 1840. Their daughter married into the Horsler and Sovano families.
Treville le jeune may have married Mary Cull or Mary Jane Roddy and settled near Baton Rouge by 1860. Treville Daigle died near Baton Rouge in February 1867; the priest who recorded his burial did not give Treville's parents' names, mention a wife, or give his age at the time of his death.
5
Thomas, baptized at Baton Rouge, age 5 weeks, in October 1802, may have died young.
6
A second Thomas died at Manchac, age 11 months, in March 1815.
Descendants of Louis-François DAIGRE (1766-?; Olivier, Bernard, Abraham)
Louis-François, younger son of François-Marie Daigre and his French wife Jeanne Holley, born at Cherbourg, France, in August 1766, became a calker in France. He came to Louisiana with his parents and sisters aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships, in 1785, and followed them to Fort Bute, Manchac, south of Baton Rouge, where he married Marie-Rose, called Rose, daughter of fellow Acadians Jacques Molaison, père and Marie-Blanche Doiron, in July 1790. Marie-Rose also had come to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont. They settled in what became West Baton Rouge Parish. Their daughters married into the Demonceaux, Dupuis, Esnard, Hébert, Landry, Rappelet, and Thomas families. Two of their three sons created families of their own and settled in West Baton Rouge Parish.
1
Oldest son Jacques-Louis, born at Manchac in October 1797, died at age 11 months in October 179[8].
2
Louis-Isidore, called Isidore, born at Manchac in September 1802, married first cousin Delphine Céleste or Célestine, daughter of fellow Acadian Jacques Molaison, fils and his Creole wife Céleste Bernard du Montier, at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in February 1831; they had to secure a dispensation for second degree of relationship in order to marry. Their son Isidore, fils was born near Brusly, West Baton Rouge Parish, in February 1846. Their daughters married into the Aillet, Blanchard, Grass, and Woodruff families.
3
François Joachim, called Joachim, born at Manchac in January 1804, married Dortille, daughter of fellow Acadians Marcel Dupuis and Marie Josèphe LeBlanc, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in May 1823. Their son Théodore was born probably at Manchac in February 1830, Joachim, fils in January 1833, Amédée Ferdinand in October 1834, Louis, a twin, in November 1836, Prudent in September 1839, and Joseph Isidore near Brusly, West Baton Rouge Parish, in February 1844. Their daughters married into the Blanchard, Hébert, and Landry families. Joachim died near Brusly in April 1855, age 51. Four of his sons served honorably in the same company, which saw much action during the War of 1861-65; one of them did not survive the war.
3a
A "Mrs. Théodore Daigle" died "at Natchez" in June 1855; she was only "ca. 19 years" old. The Brusly priest who recorded her burial did not give her name, so one wonders if her husband was Théodore, son of Joachim, and if they settled at Natchez, Mississippi, which was a good distance from West Baton Rouge Parish. Perhaps "Natchez" was the name of a community near Brusly.
3b
During the War of 1861-65, Joachim, fils served in Company H of the 4th Regiment Louisiana Infantry, raised in West Baton Rouge Parish, which fought in Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, Georgia, and Alabama. At age 28, Joachim enlisted with younger brother Prudent at Camp Moore, Tangipahoa Parish, in May 1861 (brothers Louis and Joseph Isidore joined the company later, Louis as an officer). Joachim's Confederate service did not last long. He fell sick at New Orleans the month of his enlistment but returned to his unit. The following winter, he contracted pneumonia at Berwick City, on the lower Atchafalaya, and was sent to a hospital in New Orleans. Evidently he did not recuperate. He was sent home, where he died in 1862, age 29. Evidently he did not marry.
During the War of 1861-65, Louis served in two companies that fought in different theatres of operations. He enlisted first as a private in Company F of the 1st (Dreux's/Rightor's) Battalion Louisiana Infantry, raised at New Orleans, which fought in Florida and Virginia. Louis's Confederate service record says he was age 23 when he enlisted in the company at New Orleans in April 1861; he was 24. The record also says he was a resident of Brusly Landing, West Baton Rouge Parish, had a dark complexion, dark hair, hazel eyes, and stood five feet, eight inches tall. He followed his unit to Pensacola and then to Richmond that spring and summer. He probably fought in the Battle of Big Bethel, Virginia, near Newport News, in early July 1861, one of the first battles of the war. Louis's longest service was in another outfit, however. After his battalion was incorporated into another unit, he returned to Louisiana. At Port Hudson in August 1862, he enlisted in Company H of the 4th Regiment Louisiana Infantry, raised in West Baton Rouge Parish, which fought in Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, Georgia, and Alabama. Also in the company were his younger brothers Prudent and Joseph Isidore; older brother Joachim, fils also had served in the company but had died at home, probably of pneumonia, earlier in the year. Louis, perhaps because of his combat experience, was elected junior second lieutenant of his company three months after his enlistment. He remained with his regiment until he was captured at Nashville, Tennessee, in December 1864. The federals sent him to the military prison at Louisville, Kentucky, and from there they sent him to the notorious prison compound on Johnson's Island, Ohio, where Confederate officers were held. Louis remained at Johnson's Island until June 1865, when the federals released him. He made his way home via Sandusky and Cincinnati, Ohio.
3d
During the War of 1861-65, Joseph Isidore served in Company H of the 4th Regiment Louisiana Infantry, raised in West Baton Rouge Parish, which fought in Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, Georgia, and Alabama. He did not enlist in the company until August 1862, after he turned 18; he signed up at Baton Rouge only a few weeks after the battle there. His older brothers Joachim, fils, Louis, and Prudent also served in the company. Joseph Isidore was present with his company until he went on sick furlough at Calhoun Station, Lownes County, Alabama, in the late spring of 1864. He returned to his unit in August and surrendered with it at Meridian, Mississippi, in May 1865. None of his brothers were still with the unit when it surrendered at Meridian; Joachim, fils had died, Prudent had been wounded in Georgia and spent months in a hospital, and Louis had been captured at Nashville and spent the rest of the war in a prisoner-of-war camp on an island in Lake Erie. Joseph Isidore married Marie Adonia, called Adonia, daughter of fellow Acadians Jean Baptiste Doiron and Rosalie Lejeune, at the Brusly church, West Baton Rouge Parish, in June 1867.
3e
During the War of 1861-65, Prudent served in Company H of the 4th Regiment Louisiana Infantry with older brother Joachim, fils. Prudent enlisted at Camp Moore, Tangipahoa Parish, in May 1861; he was 21 years old. (Other brothers Louis and Joseph Isidore also served in the company.) Prudent remained with his company until July 1864, when he was wounded at Ezra Church, Georgia. He remained in the Confederate hospital at Forsyth, Georgia, probably until the Confederates evacuated the area the following autumn. Prudent's Confederate service record then falls silent. Federal forces paroled him as an end-of-the-war prisoner at Baton Rouge in June 1865, so he survived the war.
4
Louis, perhaps a younger son of Louis-François, married Marie Seguin at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in February 1832. The priest who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names. One of the witnesses to the marriage was Isidore Daigle[sic], perhaps the groom's brother.
Descendants of Édouard DAIGRE (1764-1823; Olivier, Olivier, fils, Olivier III)
Édouard, eldest son of Simon-Pierre Daigre and his first wife Marie-Madeleine Thériot, born at Morlaix, France, in January 1764, came to Louisiana with his father, stepmother, and siblings aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships from France, in 1785. He followed them to Fort Bute, Manchac, south of Baton Rouge, where he married Marie-Josèphe, daughter of fellow Acadians Charles Henry and Marguerite-Josèphe Trahan, in October 1786. Marie-Josèphe had come to Louisiana aboard La Ville d'Archangel, the sixth of the Seven Ships from France. They were counted at Baton Rouge in 1792. In the baptismal record of daughter Marie, born in October 1793 but not baptized until November 1795, Édouard and his wife are described as "residents of this parish," so they must have lived at New Orleans in the mid-1790s before returning to Manchac. They may also have lived for a time at Assumption on upper Bayou Lafourche. They settled in West Baton Rouge Parish. Their daughters married into the Allain, Babin, Hébert, and Martin families. Édouard died probably in West Baton Rouge Parish in June 1823, age 59.
1
Oldest son Édouard, fils, born at Manchac in August 1787, married Agathe, daughter of Michel Betancourt and his Acadian wife Victoire Lavergne, at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in January 1816. Their son Jean Treville, called Treville, was born probably at Manchac in March 1819. Their daughters married into the Labauve family.
Treville married Marie or Mary Elizabeth, daughter of Evan D. Yates and Frances Roach, at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in January 1851. Treville Daigle died near Baton Rouge in February 1867; the priest who recorded the burial did not give Treville's parents' names, mention a wife, or give his age at the time of his death; this Treville would have been age 47.
2
Zéphirin, born at Manchac in April 1789, married Marguerite, another daughter of Michel Betancourt and Victoire Lavergne, at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in February 1810. Their son Zéphirin, fils was born posthumously probably at Manchac in May 1825. Their daughters married into the Deslors, Dupuy, Hébert, and Landry families. Zéphirin, père died probably at Manchac in November 1824, age 35.
Zéphirin, fils married, at age 41, Azema, daughter of Édouard Bossier and Joséphine Hotard, at the Plaquemine church, Iberville Parish, in November 1866.
3
Youngest son Florentin, born at Manchac in June 1791, probably died young.
Descendants of Joseph-Michel DAIGRE (1776-1833; Olivier, Olivier, fils, Olivier III)
Joseph-Michel, third and youngest son of Simon-Pierre Daigre and his first wife Marie-Madeleine Thériot, born at Bangor, Belle-Île-en-Mer, France, in April 1776, came to Louisiana with his father, stepmother, and siblings aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships from France, in 1785. He followed them to Fort Bute, Manchac, south of Baton Rouge, and married Madeleine, daughter of fellow Acadians Joseph LeBlanc and Marguerite LeBlanc, at St.-Jacques, farther downriver on the Acadian Coast, in November 1800. Madeleine was a native of Louisiana. They settled at Ascension, on the Acadian Coast just above St.-Jacques, and lived for a time at Assumption on upper Bayou Lafourche. Their daughters married into the Allemand, LeBlanc, Melançon, and Savoie families; one of them settled near Raceland in Lafourche Parish. Joseph died in Ascension Parish in August 1833, age 57. Only half of his four sons seem to have married, and the one who may have had sons of his own settled on Bayou Lafourche.
1
Oldest son Leufroi, born at Ascension in September 1801, married cousin Emeranthe, daughter of fellow Acadians Paul Melançon and Osite Barbe LeBlanc, at the Convent church, St. James Parish, in May 1821; Emeranthe's mother, also, was a LeBlanc; they had to secure dispensation for fourth degree of relationship in order to marry. Leufroi died in Ascension Parish in September 1832, age 31. Did he father any children?
2
Lucien, born at Ascension in March 1803, may have died young.
3
Duval, born in Assumption Parish in October 1811, died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in August 1843. The priest who recorded his burial said that Duval, a native of "one of the parishes along Bayou Lafourche," died at "age 30 yrs." One wonders if he ever married.
4
Youngest son Marcel, born in January 1815, place unrecorded, and baptized at the St. James church, St. James Parish, in October 1817, may have been the Marcellus or Marcelle Daigle, also called Degro and Degre, who married Spanish Creole Marie or Maria Hernandez and settled near Plattenville, Assumption Parish, by the late 1840s.
Descendants of Paul-Olivier DAIGRE (1767-1833; Olivier, Bernard, Pierre, Olivier)
Paul-Olivier, son of Miniac Daigre of L'Assomption, Pigiguit, and his first wife Marie Melanson of Rivière-aux-Canards, was born at Locmaria, Belle-Île-en-Mer, France, in May 1767. He was orphaned early and came to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships from France, in 1785 with the family of Jean Doiron. He followed them to Fort Bute, Manchac, south of Baton Rouge, where he married cousin Marie-Jeanne or -Josèphe, daughter of fellow Acadians Pierre Richard and his second wife Françoise Daigre, in September 1788. Marie-Jeanne also had come to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont. Paul and Marie-Jeanne's daughters married into the Babin, Brown, Daigre, Kleinpeter, and Templet families. Paul died near Baton Rouge in November 1833; the priest who recorded the burial said that Paul was age 69 when he died, but he was 66. Three of his five sons married and settled in the Baton Rouge area, but none of the lines were very robust.
1
Oldest son Jean-Baptiste, born at Manchac in December 1790, died probably at Manchac in February 1814. The priest who recorded the burial said that Jean Baptiste was age 21 when he died, but he was 23. He did not marry.
2
Joseph, born at Manchac in September 1798, may have died young.
3
Gilbert, baptized at Baton Rouge, age 1 1/2, in August 1801, married Marie Caroline, called Caroline, daughter of Anglo-American Abrah, probably Abraham, Bird, a major planter in the area, and Marie Bowie, at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in April 1838; Gilbert was nearly 40 years old at the time of the wedding. Their son Abraham Lucien Gilbert, perhaps called Gilbert, fils, was born near Baton Rouge in October 1841. Their daughter married into the Von Phul family. Gilbert, père died near Baton Rouge in August 1859, age 59.
Gilbert, fils may have married Louise Galveston. Their son Georges Frank was born near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in January 1870.
4
Paul, fils, born at Manchac in February 1802, may have married Ann Thompson, also called Gomes, at Manchac in the 1820s. Their son Paul Dava was born in c1829 and baptized at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, age 11, in April 1840, and William was born in c1831 but died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, at age 9 in August 1839. Paul, fils died near Baton Rouge in December 1856; the priest who recorded his burial said that Paul died at "age ca. 50 years," but he was 54.
5
Youngest son Louis, born at Manchac in November 1804, married Isabelle, daughter of Benjamin Jewell and Sara Prevot, at the Pointe Coupee church, Pointe Coupee Parish, in May 1832. Their son Benjamin M. was born in c1836 and baptized at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, age 17, in July 1853.
Benjamin M. married cousin Pauline, daughter of Dennis Daigre and Geneviève Buckner, at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in June 1859; they had to secure a dispensation for third degree of consanguinity in order to marry. Their son Charles Allain was born near Baton Rouge in January 1868, and David in February 1870.
~
Other DAIGRE/DAIGLEs on the River
Area church and civil records make it difficult to link many Daigre/Daigles on the river with known Acadian lines of the family there. The priests at Baton Rouge were especially negligent in their record keeping:
Ursule-Anne Daigle married Simon, son of Acadian Jean-Baptiste LeBlanc, at Ascension in April 1788. The priest who recorded the marriage did not give the bride's or the groom's parents' names. Interestingly, no Ursule-Anne Daigle appears on any of the passenger lists of the Seven Ships expedition. That Simon's mother's first name was Ursule makes one wonder if the Ascension priest did not inadvertently substitute the groom's mother's name for the bride, or if the name found in the modern record is a transcription error. There is also the possibility that Ursule-Anne did exist--that she came to Louisiana on one of the Seven Ships but her name was somehow omitted on the passenger list of the ship she took, or that she came to Louisiana from somewhere other than France and not in 1785, or that she was French Creole or French Canadian, not Acadian.
Baptiste Daigre died in Pointe Coupee Parish in February 1825. The priest who recorded the burial described Baptiste as a "nat. of New Orleans" and said he was age 40 when he died. However, the reverend father did not give Baptiste's parents' names or mention a wife, so one wonders if Baptiste was even Acadian.
Marie Pauline Daigre married Emeneserie Greffin or Griffin, perhaps an Anglo, probably at Baton Rouge in the 1830s and settled in West Baton Rouge Parish. One of her daughter married into the Broussard family at Brusly in April 1854; Marie Pauline was a widow at the time of the wedding.
Bouvière Daigle/Daigre died near Baton Rouge, "age ca. 35 yrs.," in October 1830. The priest who recorded the burial did not give the decedent's parents' names or mention a wife or husband. The recording priest likely was Father Antoine Blanc, future bishop of New Orleans.
Joséphine Daigre gave birth to son François Xavier near Baton Rouge in October 1837. The priest who recorded the boy's baptism, perhaps Father Peter Francis Beauprez, did not give the father's name, although a note in the margin of the record says "Barrot." The priest also did not give the mother's parents' names.
J. B. Daigre died near Baton Rouge in October 1840. The priest who recorded the burial, and who did not give any parents' names or mention a wife, said that J. B. died "at age ca. 30 yrs."
Célestine Daigre married Spanish Creole Adonis Lopez at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in February 1841. The priest who recorded the marriage, perhaps Father J. Evrard, did not give the couple's parents' names.
Arthémise Daigre married Isidore, son of fellow Acadian Maximilien Henry, at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in March 1841. The priest who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names.
Marie Daigre, an Acadian immigrant, died at "age ca. 70 yrs. ... at Manchac" in December 1842. The Baton Rouge priest who recorded her burial, perhaps Father Brogard, did not give her parents' names or mention a husband, so one has to wonder which Marie Daigre she was.
Laurent Daigre died "at a young age ... at Manchac" in October 1843. The Baton Rouge priest who recorded the boy's burial did not give the parents' names or Laurent's exact age.
Denis, Denys, or Dennis Daigre married Geneviève Buckner, place and date unrecorded. Their daughter Appoline dite Pauline Geneviève was born near Baton Rouge in January 1842, Virginie Carmélite in February 1845, Harriet Susanne in January 1847, son Francis Paul in January 1850, Denis, fils in February 1853, daughter Mary Martha in August 1855, and son Victor Templet in August 1857. Denis's daughters married into the Allain, Daigre, and Duplantier families. The daughter who married a Daigre cousin (Pauline to Benjamin M., son of Louis) had to secure a dispensation for third degree of consanguinity in order to marry, which links Denis to the Acadian Daigres on the river, but who was his father?
Eugène, also called Pierre, Daigre married cousin Marie Zéolide, Zéolie, or Théotiste, daughter of Jean Tullier and his Acadian wife Adélaïde Daigre and widow of ____ Trahan, at the Brusly church, West Baton Rouge Parish, in September 1844. The priest who recorded the marriage did not give Eugène's parents' names, so one wonders how he was kin to the other Daigres in the area. His and Marie Zéolie's daughter Marie Corelie was born near Brusly in April 1846, Marie Ophelia in November 1846[sic], son Diogène in December 1847, Amédée in May 1850, daughter Marie Delia in December 1851, and son Joseph Maximilien near Plaquemine, Iberville Parish, in October 1855. Eugène's daughters married into the Broussard and Raffrey families by 1870. None of his sons married by then.
Jean Baptiste Clémile or Clémile Jean Baptiste Daigre married Spanish Creole Carmélite Anastasia Hernandez, place and date unrecorded. Their son Dorsin or Drosin Clémile was born near Baton Rouge in February 1851 but died at age 1 1/2 in July 1852, Paul Clémile Gérard was born in October 1853, daughter Ursule Philomène in December 1855, son Manuel Bruno in October 1857, daughter Marguerite Joséphine in July 1860, and son Martinez near Plaquemine, Iberville Parish, on the west side of the river, in August 1864. Clémile Daigle died near Plaquemine in September 1866, age 45; the priest who recorded his burial did not give his parents' names or mention a wife, so one wonders how Clémille was kin to the other Daigre/Daigles in the area.
Dorcilise Daigre died near Brusly, age 24, in August 1857. The priest who recorded the burial did not give any parents' names or mention a husband.
Charles Daigle married Eliza ____, place and date unrecorded, and settled on Bayou Maringouin, Iberville Parish, at the eastern edge of the Atchafalaya swamp. Daughter Scynthia Ellen was born there in early 1860 and baptized at the Baton Rouge church, age 5 months, in August.
Rose Dosithea Daigre, widow of ____Babin, died in Ascension Parish, age 73, in May 1862. The Donaldsonville priest who recorded the burial gave no parents' names.
John Daigle married Madeleine _____, place and date unrecorded, and may have worked as an overseer on Fergus Beniston or Peniston's plantation near Baton Rouge. Daughter Sally was born there and baptized, age unrecorded, at the Baton Rouge church in May 1860, daughter Louisa was born on the plantation in 1861 and baptized at the Baton Rouge church, age 10 months, in July 1862.
Justine Caroline Daigre married Anglo-American Henry Madison at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in August 1865. The priest who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names.
Jo Daigle married Élisabeth ____, place and date unrecorded. Their son John was born in Ascension Parish in July 1866.
Cécilia Marie Daigre, "age omitted," died near Baton Rouge in July 1867. The priest who recorded the burial also did not give her parents' names or mention a husband.
a child, "age omitted," of "Mr. Daigre," died near Baton Rouge in August 1867. The priest who recorded the child's burial did not give any more information on its parents.
Isidore Daigle married Julia Gassie, place and date unrecorded. Daughter Delphine Livie was born near Brusly, West Baton Rouge Parish, in November 1870.
LOUISIANA: LAFOURCHE VALLEY SETTLEMENTS
Many of the Daigles who came to Louisiana from France in 1785 chose to go to upper Bayou Lafourche:
Eustache Daigle of Grand-Pré, age 57, crossed on La Bergère, which reached New Orleans in mid-August. With him were wife Madeleine Dupuis, age 44, and three children--Jean-Joseph, age 15, Charles-Marc, age 13, and infant Étienne. Eustache and Madeleine had no more children in Louisiana. The middle son did not marry, the oldest son married but had no children, so this line of the family was perpetuated by the youngest son, Étienne.
Marie Daigle, age 45, crossed on La Bergère with husband Jean-Baptiste Barillot, age 52, and four children, ages 19 to 10. Marie died in Assumption Parish in April 1827; the priest who recorded her burial said that she was age 97 when she died, but she was closer to 87.
Marie Daigle, age 44, widow of Jean-Baptiste Boudrot, crossed on La Bergère with two children, ages 21 and 11. Marie remarried to Pierre, son of fellow Acadian Cyprien Theriot and widower of Élisabeth Trahan, at Lafourche in September 1786. She died by June 1790, when her husband remarried there.
Isabelle-Luce Daigle, age 24, and sister Marguerite-Félicité, age 17, crossed on La Bergère with the family of Joseph Bourg. Isabelle married René dit Simon, son of François Simoneau of Lorraine, France, at Lafourche in April 1786 and died there in September 1792, in her early 30s. Did Marguerite-Félicité ever marry?
Alexis-Jean-Mathurin Daigle, age 22, brother of Isabelle-Luce and Marguerite-Félicité, was a bachelor when he crossed on La Bergère. He married at Lafourche.
Marie-Marguerite Daigle, age 23, crossed on La Bergère with husband Isaac Hébert, age 32, and two children, ages 3 and newborn. Marie Marguerite died in Assumption Parish in February 1821; the priest who recorded her burial said that she was 66 years old when she died, but she was "only" 59.
.
Catherine Daigle, age 56, crossed on Le St.-Rémi, the fourth of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in September. With her was husband Blaise Thibodeau, age 56, and three children, ages 18, 15, and 10, and a 31-year-old nephew. Catherine died by January 1788, when her husband was counted at Lafourche without a wife.
Jean-Baptiste Daigle, age 52, crossed on Le St.-Rémi with wife Marie-Flavie Boudrot, age 46, and two children--Anne-Marie, called Annette, age 15, and Joseph-Marc, age 11. They had no more children in Louisiana. Their daughter married into the Landry and LeBlanc families. Their son also settled on upper Bayou Lafourche and had a large family with many sons. Anne-Marie died at Assumption in April 1799, age 29, so she may have died in childbirth.
Marguerite Daigle, age 37, crossed on Le St.-Rémi with French husband Lambert Billardin or Villardin, age 40, and three children, ages 10, 6, and 3. Marguerite died by January 1788, when her husband was counted at Lafourche without a wife.
Anne Daigle, age 43, widow of Joseph-François Michel, crossed on Le St.-Rémi with two daughters, ages 20 and 15.
Jean-Baptiste-Alexandre Daigle, age 20, brother of Alexis-Jean-Mathurin, was a bachelor when he crossed alone on Le St.-Rémi. He married at Lafourche, where he had a large family.
.
Jean-Baptiste Daigle, age 25, crossed on one of the Seven Ships, probably L'Amitié, the fifth of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in September. Aboard that ship was wife Marie LeBlanc, age 27, and two daughters--Marie-Judith, age 1 1/2, & Marguerite-Louise, an infant. Wife Marie may not have survived the crossing. Jean-Baptiste settled on upper Bayou Lafourche, where he remarried in April 1786 and where his daughters by his first wife died young. His second wife gave him five sons.
.
The Daigles from France created another center of family settlement--actually, the first one--on upper Bayou Lafourche. During the antebellum period, some of them moved down bayou into Lafourche Interior and Terrebonne parishes (the town of Daigle north of Houma attests to the family's settlement in the area), but most of them remained in Assumption Parish, which held perhaps the largest concentration of family members anywhere in the Bayou State, especially around Paincourtville. During the late antebellum period, however, some of the Assumption Parish Daigles moved away from the bayou and settled near Pierre Part, north of Lake Verret:
Descendants of Jean-Baptiste DAIGLE (1759-1829; Olivier, Bernard, Abraham)
Jean-Baptiste, son of Jean Daigle and Marie-Judith Durel, born at Cherbourg, France, in December 1759, married Marie, daughter of fellow Acadian Pierre LeBlanc, at St.-Martin-de-Chantenay, France, near Nantes, in March 1783. Marie was a native of Bristol, England, and had come to France with her family in 1763. They had two daughters at Chantenay. Jean-Baptiste most likely came to Louisiana in 1785 aboard L'Amitié, the fifth of the Seven Ships, with his wife and daughters (his name does not appear on that ship's embarkation list, but he does appear on its debarkation list, which lists the implements he received from the Spanish after his arrival). His daughters survived the crossing, but Marie may not have, or she may have died soon after reaching the colony. He took his daughters to upper Bayou Lafourche, where he remarried to Marguerite, daughter of François Simoneau of Lorraine, France, and his Acadian wife Marie-Osite-Anne Corporon of Annapolis Royal, in April 1786. Marguerite had come to Louisiana in 1766 from Maryland when she was very young. Jean-Baptiste and Marguerite remained on the upper bayou, where they were counted with his daughters by Marie and a daughter by Marguerite in January 1788. His daughters by Marie died young, but his daughters by Marguerite married into the Bourque, Cedotal, Daigle, Dupuis, and Trahan families. Jean Baptiste died in Assumption Parish in March 1829; the Plattenville priest who recorded his burial said that Jean, "husband of Marguerite Samoneau," died at "age 76 yrs.", but he was 70. Three of his five sons, all from his second marriage, created families of their own. The oldest son moved to lower Bayou Teche in the 1810s, creating a western branch of the family, but the other two married sons remained on the Lafourche.

Oldest son Louis-Maurice, by his father's second wife, born at Lafourche in April 1790, married Anastasie, daughter of fellow Acadians Joseph Breaux and Marie Madeleine Bourg of St. James Parish, at the Plattenville church, Assumption Parish, in November 1812.

Alexis-Jean-Mathurin, called Mathurin, third son of Alexandre Daigle and Élisabeth Granger, born at Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, in January 1763, became an engraver in France. He came to Louisiana aboard La Bergère, the second of the Seven Ships from France, in 1785 as a young bachelor and followed the majority of his fellow passengers to upper Bayou Lafourche, where he married Marie-Josèphe-Françoise, daughter of fellow Acadians Michel Levron and Marguerite Trahan, in January 1788. Marie also was a native of Boulogne-sur-Mer and had come to Louisiana aboard Le St.-Rémi, the fourth of the Seven Ships. In the baptismal record of daughter Marie-Claire, born in January 1797 and baptized at New Orleans the following March, Alexis and his wife are described as "residents of this parish," so they must have lived in the city before returning to the upper bayou, where they were counted again in April 1797. Their daughters married into the Malbrough family. Mathurin died in Assumption Parish in October 1815; the priest who recorded his burial said that Mathurin was age 50 when he died, but he was 52. Four of his six sons created families of their own.

~
During the late 1780s and early 1790s, Acadian Daigles from France who had settled on the river joined their cousins, and in one case brothers, on upper Bayou Lafourche, adding two more family lines to the ones already there:
Descendants of Joseph DAIGLE (1770-1836; Olivier, Bernard, Pierre)
Joseph, called Joson, a twin and fifth son of Alexandre Daigle and Élisabeth Granger, born at St.-Servan, France, near St.-Malo, in March 1770, came to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships from France, with his uncle Charles Granger. He followed his uncle to the Baton Rouge area but did not remain there. In the late 1780s and early 1790s, he was living with his married sister Isabelle-Luce and her husband, René Simoneaux, at Lafourche, where two of his older brothers also had settled. In 1795, he was living on the upper bayou with the family of Lucas Landry probably as an engagé. He married Marie-Marthe, daughter of fellow Acadian Chrysostôme Trahan, at Assumption in October 1800; she was literally the girl next door. Their daughter married into the Breaux family. Joseph died in Assumption Parish in July 1836, a widower, age 66. Three of his five sons created families in Assumption Parish.
1
Oldest son Joseph-Clet, born at Assumption in April 1802, married Hortense or Octavie Mélanie, called Mélanie, daughter of fellow Acadians Joseph Duhon and Adélïde Landry, at the Plattenville church, Assumption Parish, in January 1827, and remarried to Bathilde or Mathilde, daughter of Maurice Simoneaux and his Acadian wife Geneviève Landry, at the Plattenville church in January 1834. Their son Jean Baptiste Basile was born in Assumption Parish in March 1836, and Louis in August 1837. They also had sons named Désiré and Ozémé. Their daughters married into the Dugas, LeBlanc, and Vegas families. Joseph Clet died in Lafourche Parish in December 1862, age 60. Was his death war-related?
1a
Désiré, by his father's second wife, married Flavie, also called Claire, daughter of fellow Acadians Cyrille Landry and Marie Marcellite Gravois, at the Paincourtville church, Assumption Parish, in September 1858. They settled near the boundary between Assumption and Ascension parishes. Their son Denas Désiré, called Désiré, was born in October 1859 but died at age 7 months in May 1860, Lubin Evariste was born in March 1863 but died at age 14 month in early 1864, Désiré Anatole was born in July 1866, and Joseph Jules in March 1869.
1b
Ozémé, by his father's second wife, married Virginie, daughter of fellow Acadians Narcisse Guidry and Virginie Savoie, at the Paincourtville church, Assumption Parish, in June 1868.
2
Baptiste, born probably at Assumption in c1803, died at age 10 in October 1813.
3
Jean Baptiste Léon, born at Assumption in April 1804, may have died young.
4
Alexandre Simon, born in Assumption Parish in December 1807, married Justine, another daughter of Maurice Simoneaux and Geneviève Landry, at the Plattenville church, Assumption Parish, in January 1835. Their son Alexandre Cyriague was born in Assumption Parish in August 1838, Aristide Joseph near Plattenville in February 1843, Eugène or Ulgère Raymond in November 1847 but died at age 5 in December 1852, and Joseph Laurent was born near Paincourtville in February 1850 but died at age 2 1/2 in December 1852. Their daughters married into the Berthelot and Verret families. Alexandre died near Paincourtville in October 1850, age 42.
4a
Alexandre Cyriague married Carmélite, daughter of Antoine Sanchez and Henriette Sauvain, at the Paincourtville church, Assumption Parish, in September 1862. They settled near Pierre Part. Their son Désiré Alexandre was born in February 1865. An Alexandre Daigle died near Paincourtville, Assumption Parish, in January 1867; the priest who recorded his burial said that Alexandre died at "age 27 years," but the priest did not give Alexandre's parents' names or mention a wife. This Alexandre would have been age 28, so it probably was him.
4b
Aristide Joseph married cousin Armentine, daughter of Honoré Simoneaux and Arselie Simoneaux, at the Paincourtville church, Assumption Parish, in February 1867.
5
Youngest son Pierre Clovis, also called Henri, born in Ascension Parish in January 1812, married Marguerite, daughter of fellow Acadians Simonet Boudreaux and Céleste Babin, at the Plattenville church, Assumption Parish, in January 1834.

5b
Oleus married Elmire, daughter of fellow Acadians Onésime LeBlanc and Eulalie LeBlanc, at the Paincourtville church, Assumption Parish, in November 1869.
Descendants of Jean-Louis DAIGLE (1774-1811; Pierre le jeune, Bernard, fils, Bernard, Pierre)
Jean-Louis, son of Jean-Baptiste-Amand Daigle and Marguerite-Ange Dubois, born at Pouthume, Châtellerault, Poitou, France, in October 1774, came to Louisiana with his widowed mother aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships from France, in 1785. He followed her and the majority of the passengers from their ship to Fort Butte, Manchac, south of Baton Rouge. His mother remarried twice. He followed her to upper Bayou Lafourche, where he married Marie-Isabelle, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph Richard and his French wife Marie-Jeanne Daniel, at Assumption in August 1799. Marie had come to Louisiana on Le St.-Rémi, the fourth of the Seven Ships. They may have lived at New Orleans in the early 1800s. Jean-Louis remarried to Marie Josèphe, daughter of fellow Acadians Joseph François Michel and Geneviève LeBlanc, at Assumption in January 1804. Marie Josèphe was a native of Louisiana. Their daughters married into the Boudreaux, Faits, and Gros families. Jean Louis died in Assumption Parish in November 1811, age 37. His son from his second marriage survived childhood and created a family of his own in Assumption Parish.
1
Older son Louis, by his father's first wife, born in September 1800 and baptized at New Orleans in March 1801, died at Assumption, age 1 1/2, in February 1802.
2
Younger son Urbain, by his father's second wife, born in Assumption Parish in May 1809, married Doralise, daughter of fellow Acadians Pierre Boudreaux and Marie Duhon, at the Plattenville church, Assumption Parish, in May 1832. Their son Pierre Rosémond, called Rosémond, was born in Assumption Parish in March 1833, and Ursin near Plattenville in September 1839. Their daughters married into the Aucoin, Bergeron, and Bonnamour families.
Rosémond married Zulma, also called Rosema, daughter of Rosémond Fremin and his Acadian wife Aglée Thibodeaux, at the Labadieville church, Assumption Parish, in October 1866. Their son Abel Augustin was baptized at the Labadieville church, age unrecorded, in August 1867.
~
During the late antebellum period, a Daigle from St. James Parish may have moved to Bayou Lafourche:
Descendants of Marcel DAIGLE (1815-; Olivier, Olivier, fils, Olivier III, Simon-Pierre)
Marcel, fourth and youngest son of Joseph-Michel Daigle and Madeleine LeBlanc, born in January 1815, place unrecorded, and baptized at the St. James church, St. James Parish, in October 1817, may have been the Marcellus or Marcelle Daigle, also called Degro and Degre, who married Spanish Creole Marie or Maria Hernandez and settled near Plattenville, Assumption Parish, by the late 1840s. They had moved down bayou into Lafourche Parish by the early 1850s. A decade later, however, they were living near Plattenville again. Their daughters married into the Barrilleaux and LeBlanc families.
1
Oldest son Joseph was born near Lockport, Lafourche Parish, in November 1853.
2
Nazaire Ozémé was born near Raceland, Lafourche Parish, in July 1855.
3
Prudent Foedora was born near Lockport, Lafourche Parish, in May 1858.
~
Other DAIGLEs in the Lafourche Valley
Area church and civil records make it difficult to link some Daigles in the Bayou Lafourche valley with known lines of the family there:
Joseph Daigle married Charlotte Falgout, place and date unrecorded. Daughter Marianne was born in Lafourche Interior Parish in December 1820.
Evariste Daigle married Élise Thibodeaux, place and date unrecorded. Son Emil Auguste was born in Lafourche Interior Parish in January 1842.
Joseph, fils, son of Joseph Daigle, died near Plattenville, Assumption Parish, 7 days after his birth in May 1846. The priest who recorded the boy's burial did not give the mother's name, so one must wonder which Joseph Daigle was the father.
Pierre Daigle died near Plattenville in March 1849. The priest who recorded his burial said that Pierre died "at age 27 years" but did not give his parents' names or mention a wife.
Henri Oscar Daigle died in Lafourche Parish, age 7 months, in February 1854. The Thibodaux priest who recorded the boy's burial did not give the parents' names.
Pierre Daigle married Ursuline Gautreaux, place and date unrecorded. Daughter Azimilia Odiska was born near Plattenville, Assumption Parish, in March 1854.
Placide Daigle married Spanish Creole Carmelita or Carmélite Suarez, place and date unrecorded. Their daughter Marie Azéma was born in Assumption Parish in January 1855, son Joseph Hippolyte near Paincourtville in July 1856, Joseph Placide in August 1857, and another Joseph died a day after his birth in January 1859. Who were Placide's parents? Were they Acadian Daigres?
Marie Joséphine, daughter of Mesande Daigle, was born in Lafourche Parish in June 1857.
Ozille, daughter of Pierre Daigle, deceased, and Marguerite Babin, married Léon, son of Acadian Magloire Landry, at Paincourtville, Assumption Parish, in February 1857. Was Pierre an Acadian Daigle? When, and where, did he marry Marguerite? And when, and where, did he die?
Treville Daigle married Marceline Masset, place and date unrecorded. Daughter Élisabeth Honorine was born in Assumption Parish in June 1860.
Trasimond Daigle died near Paincourtville in August 1860. The priest who recorded the burial did not give any parents' names, mention a wife, of give the age of the deceased at the time of his passing.
Adeline Daigle gave birth to son Pierre Osémé near Paincourtville, Assumption Parish, in December 1860. The priest who recorded the boy's baptism did not give the father's name or the mother's parents' names.
Clerice Daigle, wife of Jean Baptiste Fabien Bourg, died near Pierre Part, Assumption Parish, in March 1864. The priest who recorded the burial did not give the woman's parents' names nor her age at the time of her passing.
Élisabeth Daigle married Julien Napoléon at the Plattenville church in April 1866. The priest who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names.
Marie Helena, daughter of Josephine Daigle, died in Assumption Parish at age 9 days in January 1868. The Paincourtville priest who recorded the girl's burial did not give her father's name or her mother's parents' names.
Jean Henri Daigle married Delphine Labiche, place and date unrecorded. Daughter Marie Myrtibia married into the Knobloch family in Lafourche Parish in October 1869. How was Jean Henri kin to the Daigles of the Bayou Lafourche valley, or was he?
Marie Daigle married Baptiste Plaisance in a civil ceremony in Lafourche Parish in February 1870. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names.
LOUISIANA: WESTERN SETTLEMENTS
At least one Acadian Daigle who came to Louisiana from France in 1785 followed her husband to the Opelousas District:
Marguerite Daigle, age 60, crossed on La Bergère, the second of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in August. With her were husband Pierre Dugas of Cobeguit, age 57, and two daughters, ages 23 and 20. Marguerite died in St. Landry Parish in March 1808, in her early 80s.
~
In the 1790s, an Acadian Daigle from Manchac crossed the Atchafalaya Basin and settled on the western prairies, but evidently he and his wife had no children. A Daigle wife followed in the early antebellum period:
Agnès-Marie Daigle, widow of Thomas Theriot, died at Baton Rouge in February 1812. The priest who recorded her burial said that she was age 73 when she died, but she was closer to 60. Her succession was filed at the St. Martinville courthouse in April, so she and/or her children probably lived in St. Martin Parish.
Simon-Pierre DAIGLE, fils (1766-1816?; Olivier, Olivier, fils, Olivier III)
Simon-Pierre, fils, second son of Simon-Pierre Daigle and his first wife Marie-Madeleine Thériot, born at Sauzon, Belle-Île-en-Mer, France, in June 1766, came to Louisiana with his father, stepmother, and siblings to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships, in 1785. He followed them to Fort Bute, Manchac, south of Baton Rouge, but did not settle there. In the 1790s, he crossed the Atchafalaya Basin and married Françoise, daughter of fellow Acadian Michel Trahan and widow of Jacques Fostin, at Attakapas in February 1798. A Simon Daigle, "instituteur [teacher] at Benjamin Broussard's inhabitant on the Lake at Baigneux," died at Agricole Landry's home on the Vermilion River in January 1816. The priest who recorded his burial did not give Simon's parents' names, his age at the time of his death, or mention a wife. One wonders if this was Simon-Pierre Daigle, fils; if it was, he would have died at age 50. He and his wife, who died in the late 1820s, seem to have had no children, so this line of the family did not survive.
~
Not until the 1810s did an Acadian Daigle, from upper Bayou Lafourche, establish a family line that survived west of the Atchafalaya Basin; he settled in St. Mary Parish on lower Bayou Teche. A Daigre from Manchac moved to Lafayette Parish in the 1820s but returned to the river in the 1830s. During the 1840s, another Daigre from Baton Rouge settled on Bayou Teche and raised a large family there. Two more Daigles from upper Bayou Lafourche moved down to the Brashear City, now Morgan City, area, on the lower Atchafalaya, during the late 1850s, but one of them may have returned to the upper bayou. A result of all this coming and going was that the western branch of the Acadian Daigre/Daigles never came close in numbers to the French-Canadian Daigles who settled near Church Point in present-day Acadia Parish:
Descendants of Louis-Maurice DAIGLE (1790-1860s; Olivier, Bernard, Abraham, Jean)
Louis-Maurice, called Maurice, eldest son of Jean-Baptiste Daigle and his second wife Marguerite Simoneaux, born at Ascension on the river in April 1790, married Anastasie, also called Madeleine, daughter of fellow Acadians Joseph Breaux and Marie Madeleine Bourg of St. James Parish, at the Plattenville church, Assumption Parish, in November 1812. Later in the decade, they moved from upper Bayou Lafourche to lower Bayou Teche, where they helped establish a western branch of the family in St. Mary Parish. Their daughters married into the Broussard and Richard families. Louis's succession record was filed at the Franklin courthouse in January 1861; he would have been age 71 that year. Only one of his sons' lines may have survived.
1
Oldest son Louis, fils, born in St. Mary Parish in February 1821, may have died young, unless it was his succession record that was filed at the Franklin courthouse in January 1861; he would have been age 40 that year. If this was him, did he ever marry?
2
Jean Onésime, called Onésime, born in St. Mary Parish in September 1823, married Pamela, daughter of fellow Acadian Nicolas Broussard and his Creole wife Marie Élisabeth Bertrand, at the Pattersonville church, St. Mary Parish, in August 1853. Onésime's succession record was filed at the Franklin courthouse in November 1853, a few months after his marriage; he would have been age 30 that year. Did he father any children?
3
Youngest son Marcellin, born in St. Mary Parish in December 1828, married Adelina Palaskki or Polowski, perhaps a Polish immigrant, at the Pattersonville church, St. Mary Parish, in July 1852. Their son Cléopha was born near Pattersonville in August 1853.
Descendants of Joseph Maximilien DAIGLE (1810s?-; Olivier, Bernard, Abraham, François-Marie, François-Alexandre, )
Joseph Maximilien, called Maximilien, Maxilien, and Maxille, son of André-Joseph or Joseph-André, also called Béloni, Daigle and Isleño Adélaïde Martin of Baton Rouge, born probably at Baton Rouge in the late 1810s, married cousin Marie Aurore, daughter of fellow Acadians Jean Baptiste Henry and Marie Daigle, at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in May 1837. Maximilien remarried to Marcellite Ida, called Ida, daughter of fellow Acadians Anaclet Melançon and Anne Doralise Thibodeaux, at the New Iberia church, then in St. Martin but now in Iberia Parish, in May 1845. They remained near New Iberia before moving up the Teche to the Breaux Bridge area later in the decade. Maximilien, in his late 40s, remarried again--his third marriage, to Oliva, daughter of Jean Caillier or Cayet and Marie Picou and widow of Acadian Ursin Bijeaux, fils, at the St. Martinville church, St. Martin Parish, in April 1857. Oliva gave him more sons. Most of the Acadian Daigles west of the Atchafalaya Basin are Maximilien's descendants.
1
Oldest son Jean Baptiste, called Baptiste and Ldomenie, from his father's first wife, born at either Baton Rouge or New Iberia in the late 1830s or early 1840s, married Émelie or Amelia, daughter of fellow Acadians Léonard Thibodeaux and Ordalie Cormier, at the Breaux Bridge church, St. Martin Parish, in April 1868.

Pierre Eusèbe, son of Jean Pierre Daigle and Marie Modeste Arceneaux, born in Assumption Parish in February 1820, married Rosalie, daughter of Auguste Verret and his Acadian wife Marie Rose Bourg, at the Plattenville church, Assumption Parish, in September 1841, and remarried to cousin Euphémie, daughter of fellow Acadians Narcisse Trahan and Marcellite Daigle, at the Paincourtville church, Assumption Parish, in August 1845. Church records hint that Pierre must have taken his family to the Brashear, now Morgan, City, area, on the lower Atchafalaya, during the late 1850s. They were still there in the late 1860s, though a daughter was born near Pierre Part, Assumption Parish, in 1866.

Other DAIGLEs on the Western Prairies
Area church and civil records make it difficult to link some Daigles in the western parishes with known Acadian lines of the family there:
A succession for Uranie Daigle, wife of Auguste Gashia, was filed at the Franklin courthouse, St. Mary Parish, in January 1861. The parish clerk who recorded the succession did not give any parents' names.
Victor Daigle married Élizabeth Daigle, place and date unrecorded, and settled near Brashear, now Morgan, City, St. Mary Parish, by 1870.
NON-ACADIAN FAMILIES in LOUISIANA
Not all of the Daigles of South Louisiana are Acadians. The first Daigle to settle in Louisiana, in fact, was a Canadian with Austrian-German roots who came decades before Acadian Daigre/Daigles appeared in the colony. For several generations, the Canadian and his descendants settled at Chapitoulas, just above New Orleans, and then moved his family a bit farther upriver to St.-Charles des Allemands on the Lower German Coast. In the late 1790s, some of his descendants moved to the Opelousas prairie, where they set down even deeper roots in what became St. Landry and Acadia parishes. Most of the Daigles of southwest Louisiana are descended from these German Canadians, many of whom took Acadian spouses:
Descendants of Étienne dit Marlborough D'AIGLE (late 1600s-mid 1700s)
Étienne dit Marlborough, son of Jean d'Aigle dit l'Allemand of Vienna, Austria, and Marie-Anne Proteau of Québec, was born at Beauport, near Québec City, after his father came to Canada from France in c1674. Étienne married Susanne, also called Marie-Anne, Desperoux at Fort Louis, New Biloxi, present-day Mississippi, in March 1722. They were living across the river from Chapitoulas, just above New Orleans, in the early 1730s. A decade later, they had moved upriver to St.-Charles des Allemands on the Lower German Coast. They had at least three sons at Chapitoulas and St.-Charles--Étienne, fils; François, born in November 1729 but died at age 13 at St.-Charles in December 1744; and Joseph l'aîné, born in May 1733 but probably died young. Étienne dit Marlborough's daughter married into the Roman family. Étienne dit Marlborough was still alive in August 1752, when he stood as godfather to grandson Étienne III by his son Étienne, fils at St.-Charles.
Oldest son Étienne, fils, born probably at Chapitoulas in the 1720s, married Angélique or Evangéline La Prade probably at St.-Charles des Allemands in the early 1750s. Their son Étienne III was born at St.-Charles in August 1752; and André in June 1754. They also had sons named Joseph le jeune; Alexis, who died in 1786; Jean dit Malborough, who became a hunter and trader at Arkansas Post; and François, who also settled at Arkansas Post.
Oldest son Étienne III married Marie-Anne, daughter of Joseph-Michel Rayon, Taillon, or Tayon of Kaskaskia, Illinois, at St.-Louis, present-day Missouri, in August 1777. After his marriage, Étienne III returned to St.-Charles des Allemands, where he and Marie-Anne had at least four sons, all born at St.-Charles: Étienne IV, born in c1778; Chevalier Joseph or Joseph Chevalier; Alexandre; and Jean-Eugène, born in c1791. Étienne III died at Cabahannocer/St.-Jacques on the Acadian Coast, upriver from St.-Charles, in December 1796; the Spanish priest who recorded his burial said that "Estevan" died at "age 58 years & [was] married of the Parish of St. Charles"; he was 44. After his death, Étienne III's widow Marie-Anne Tayon sold her holdings at St.-Charles and moved the family to the Opelousas District. They settled on upper Bayou Plaquemine Brûlé near present-day Church Point, first in St. Landry and then in Acadia Parish. Her daughter married into the Latiolais family. Most of the Daigles of southwestern Louisiana are descended from three of Marie-Anne and Étienne III's sons:
Oldest son Étienne IV married Marie, daughter of Acadian Pierre Doucet, at Opelousas in June 1803. They settled on upper Bayou Plaquemine Brûlé near present-day Church Point. Their son Étienne V was born in October 1806, Jean Eugène le jeune, called Eugène, in April 1809, Joseph Chevalier le jeune, also called Joseph Étienne, in December 1812, and Arthur in December 1816. Their daughter married into the Fontenot family. Étienne IV may have remarried to Marie Anne Taylor. Their daughter married into the Delbourg family. Étienne IV died near Church Point in June 1864, age 86.
Oldest son Étienne V, by his father's first wife, married Joséphine, daughter of Acadian Louis Leger, at the Opelousas church, St. Landry Parish, in April 1826. They settled near Church Point. Their son Martin Étienne was born in August 1827, Zéphirin Étienne, also called François Zéphirin and Zéphirin, in April 1829, Eugène le jeune in September 1834, Théon or Théou Joseph in September 1847, Alexandre Homere, called Homere, in June 1850, Lazare in February 1853, and Joseph Colomb le jeune in April 1856. They also had a son named Pierre. Their daughters married Leger cousins.
Martin Étienne married French Creole Unibonne Lebleu at the Grand Coteau church, St. Landry Parish, in December 1846. They settled near Church Point. Their son Joseph Adam was born in December 1858 but died at age 1 1/2 in April 1860, and Martin Étienne, fils was born in July 1856 but died at age 1 1/2 in December 1857. Martin Étienne, père died near Church Point in May 1859, age 31; his succession was filed at the Opelousas courthouse in June. His family line probably died with him.
Zéphirin Étienne, also called François Zéphirin, married first cousin Constance, daughter of French Creole Leufroi Fontenot, at the Grand Coteau church, St. Landry Parish, in January 1854; Constance's mother was Zéphirin's paternal aunt, Gertrude Daigle. Zéphirin and Constance settled near Church Point. Their son Joseph Colombe was born in April 1855 but, called Joseph Colomb, died at age 7 in September 1862, and another Joseph was born in March 1860.
Eugène le jeune married cousin Julia, daughter Acadian Michel Leger, at the Grand Coteau church, St. Landry Parish, in November 1855. They settled near Church Point. Was he the Eugène I. Daigle whose succession was filed at the Opelousas courthouse in December 1858? If so, was it post-mortem?
Pierre married Émelie, daughter of Acadian Joseph Lejeune, at the Grand Coteau church, St. Landry Parish, in February 1862. They settled near Church Point.
Théon married cousin Eugènie, daughter of Eugène Daigle, at the Church Point church, then in St. Landry but now in Acadia Parish, in December 1866. Their son Ignace was born near Church Point in October 1867.
Homère married Alicia, daughter of French Creole François Ledoux, at the Church Point church, then in St. Landry but now in Acadia Parish, in December 1869. Their son Ulysse was born near Church Point in December 1870.
Jean Eugène le jeune, by his father's first wife, married Céleste or Célestine, daughter of French Creole Jean Baptiste Lebleu, at the Opelousas church, St. Landry Parish, in September 1828; Célestine's mother was a Lejeune. They settled near Church Point. Eugène died in September 1829; the Opelousas priest who recorded his burial said that Eugène was age 22 when he died, but he was 20. His only child, daughter Marie, died 4 days after her birth in August 1829, so this line of the family died with him. Widow Célestine remarried to Eugène's cousin Alexandre Daigle, fils.
Joseph Étienne, called Étienne, from his father's first wife, married Marie Amante, Aminta, Aminte, Aminthe, or Amynte, daughter of French Creole Antoine Fontenot, at the Opelousas church, St. Landry Parish, in May 1829. They settled near Church Point. Their son Eugène Joseph was born in April 1830, Arthur in January 1842, Étienne in March 1846 but died at age 12 1/2 (the recording priest said 14) in September 1858, Alfred Abraham, perhaps called Hebrard, was born in November 1848, and Jules in October 1851. Their daughters married into the Leger and Olivier (French Creole, not Acadian) families.
Eugène Joseph married Marie Louse, called Louise, daughter of Acadian Joseph Rosémond Guidry, at the Grand Coteau church, St. Landry Parish, in July 1857. They settled near Church Point. Their son Eugène, fils was born in July 1858, the day before his father died near Church Point in July 1858; the priest who recorded the burial said that Eugène J. died "at age 32 yrs.," but he was 28; his succession was filed at the Opelousas courthouse the following December.
Arthur married Caroline, daughter of Acadian Michel Leger, at the Grand Coteau church, St. Landry Parish, in July 1861. They settled near Church Point. Their son Thomas was born in July 1862.

They had a son named Joseph, fils. Their daughter married into the Martin family. Joseph Chevalier remarried to French Creole Joséphine Fontenot in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in April 1830. They also settled near Church Point. Their son Joseph, fils was born in July 1834, and Pierre in May 1838. Their daughters married into the Guidry and McClelland families.
Joseph, fils, by his father's first wife, married Lise, Alise, or Élise, daughter of French Creole Laurent Dupré, at the Opelousas church, St. Landry Parish, in April 1822; Lise's mother was a Pitre. They settled near Church Point. Their son Joseph III was born in February 1823, Théodule in October 1824, François le jeune in April 1826, and Sosthène in January 1828 but died at age 20 months in September 1829. They also had a son named Zéphirin or Zephias. Their daughters married into the Bacon, Boudreaux, Frugé, Guidry, and Jackson families. Joseph, fils's succession was filed at the Opelousas courthouse in February 1844; he probably was in his late 30s or early 40s that year.
Joseph III married Marie Célina, called Célina, daughter of Foreign Frenchman Jean Louis Foux, also called Fase, Foalkes, Fucks, and Fux, at the Grand Coteau church, St. Landry Parish, in February 1843; Célina's mother was an Acadian David. They settled near Church Point. Their child, name and age unrecorded, perhaps a son, was baptized at the Grand Coteau church, St. Landry Parish, in December 1844, son Homere Joseph was born in November 1846, and Ernest in March 1851. Their daughters married into the Guidry and Thibodeaux families. In December 1854, Joseph III and his younger brother Théodule "Donated a 4 and 61/100 acres on the southwest side of Bayou Plaquemine Brûlé to the Roman Catholic Church under Antoine Blanc, Archbishop of New Orleans." Joseph III died at Church Point in December 1854, age 31; he may have donated property to the Church via his succession.
Homère Joseph married cousin Julia or Julie, daughter of French Creole Leufroi Fontenot, at the Grand Coteau church, St. Landry Parish, in December 1863; Julia's mother was a French Canadian Daigle. They settled near Church Point.

Their son Norbert was born in January 1820, François in September 1820[sic], another Alexandre, fils in November 1822, and Charles in c1830 but died at age 2 years, 4 months, in March 1831. Their daughters married into the Lejeune and Miller families. Alexandre, père's succession was filed at the Opelousas courthouse in October 1840.
Oldest son Louis, by his father's first wife, married Adeline, daughter of Acadian Joseph Lejeune, in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in May 1831, and sanctified the marriage at the Grand Coteau church, St. Landry Parish, in August 1843 with the note: "Married by a Judge for 13 years due to Fr. Rossi's absence." They settled near Church Point. Their son Louis, fils had been born in December 1830, and Alexandre, le jeune was born in May 1833.

They settled near Church Point. Their son Alexandre III was born in August 1834. They also had a son named Ozémé. Alexandre, fils remarried to Marie Rachel, called Rachel, 18-year-old daughter of Anglo-American William Berwick, at the Opelousas church in June 1836; Rachel's mother was a Lejeune. They also settled near Church Point. Their son Ursin was born in April 1837, Eugène le jeune in August 1839, Alcide in August 1841, Alexis in August 1843, Adam in December 1847, and Joseph Alcée in October 1862. Their daughters married into the Fontenot family. Alexandre, fils's succession, naming his second wife, was filed at the Opelousas courthouse in August 1865; he would have been age 54 that year. After the War of 1861-65, one of his sons settled near Eunice, northwest of Church Point.
Ozémé, by his father's first wife, married Marie Ordalie, daughter of Julien Miller, probably a German Creole, in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in January 1856, and sanctified the marriage at the Church Point church, then in St. Landry but now in Acadia Parish, in January 1867.

.
Local church and civil records make it difficult to link some Daigles in St. Landry Parish with descendants of Étienne dit Marlborough D'Aigle:
Joséphine, daughter of Antoine Daigle, fils, died in St. Landry Parish in February 1842. The Opelousas priest who recorded Joséphine's burial did not give her mother's name or her age at the time of her death. How was her father kin to the other Daigles in the area?
Marie Laure, called Laure, Daigle married Anglo-American William Elkins at the Grand Coteau church, St. Landry Parish, in January 1847. The priest who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names.
Marie Céleste Daigle married Onésime Fontenot in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in November 1861. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names.
A succession for Appolline Daigle, wife of Jean Petit (Pitre?), was filed at the Opelousas courthouse in June 1864. The parish clerk who filed the succession did not give any parents' names.
Étienne Daigle married Napoléon[sic] Frugé in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in May 1867. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names. What was the bride's actual name?
Rachel Daigle married French Creole Cyprien Fontenot in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in June 1870. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names.
~
Other Daigles who lived in South Louisiana during the antebellum period may have been non-Acadians, or they may have been Acadian refugees from the Caribbean Basin who came "late" to the Bayou State:
Marie, 16-year-old daughter of Louis Daigle and Marie Weber of Baracoa, Cuba, married Joseph, 28-year-old son of French Creole Joseph Monson or Munson of New Orleans, in a civil ceremony in Lafourche Interior Parish in January 1823. They also registered the marriage in Terrebonne Parish in January 1830, and sanctified the marriage at the Thibodauxville church, Lafourche Interior Parish, in April 1835. The Thibodauxville priest who recorded Marie's marriage to Joseph Monson says she was from "Panaco[sic] on the island of Cuba," and the civil clerks in Lafourche Interior and Terrebonne parishes said she was "of Barraco, Cuba," implying that she was born there. There is a possibility that Marie and her parents may have been Acadian refugees from Haiti who left that troubled land for Cuba in the early 1800s. Baracoa, at the southeastern tip of Cuba, near Guantánamo, was an important refuge for French-Creole refugees from former French St.-Domingue, now Haiti, in the late 1700s and early 1800s, during racial troubles there (a 50-mile-wide strait separates that part of Cuba from the northwestern tip of St.-Domingue, where a prominent Acadian refuge, Jean-Rabel, is located). Her estimated birth year based on the age given in her first marriage record--c1806-07--hints that her family may have been among the refugees from Haiti via Cuba and Jamaica who reached New Orleans in the summer and fall of 1809. Carl A Brasseaux has written of these refugees: "An undetermined number of Acadians were undoubtedly among the approximately 10,000 refugees from Saint-Domingue who arrived en masse in New Orleans in the summer and fall of 1809. The evidence indicates, however, that these latter-day Acadian immigrants had already lost much of their ethnic identity and, when forced by circumstances to remain in New Orleans, they were quickly absorbed into the Crescent City's flourishing Creole community." Marie remarried to Pierre Urbain, son of French Creole Pierre Urbain Augeron of New Orleans, at the Thibodaux church in July 1844. The civil record of her marriage to second husband Pierre Urbain Augeron, dated July 1844, also says she was "of Baracon[sic]." Perhaps Marie's living in a predominantly Acadian community suggests that she may have considered herself a part of that community, though she did marry two French Creoles from New Orleans. However, such a marriage was not unusual even among Acadians who came to Louisiana by more traditional routes. Judging by Terrebonne Parish court records, she and her husband(s) did well in that parish.
Antoine Daigle "from Isle of Nebe" died in Lafourche Interior Parish in January 1834, age 39. The Thibodaux priest who recorded the burial did not give Antoine's parents' names or mention a wife. Where is the "Isle of Nebe"? Was it Nevis in the Windward Islands, a British possession? Was Antoine the son of an Acadian refugee who settled, like hundreds of other Acadians, in the Caribbean Basin?
~
A D'Aigle who lived near Baton Rouge during the late antebellum period may not have been an Acadian:
Zeno D'Aigle married Hanna Rollands, place and date unrecorded. Their son Susanno was born near Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge Parish, in December 1850.
~
During the War of 1861-65, Afro-Creoles owned probably by French-Canadian Daigles were set free by Federal forces and settled in St. Landry Parish:
Michel Daigle, a freedman, married Élizabeth Guidry, a freed woman, in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in January 1866. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names.
CONCLUSION
Daigres were among the early settlers of Acadia, but most of them came "late" to Louisiana. In fact, if the Spanish government had not coaxed over 1,500 Acadians in France to emigrate to the colony, the Acadian branch of the Daigre/Daigle family would be a small one today in the Bayou State, if it existed there at all. The first member of the family to emigrate to Louisiana--Agnès-Marie, a teenage orphan from Minas--came from Halifax via Cap-Français, French St.-Domingue in 1765 and settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques on the Acadian Coast before moving up to Baton Rouge. Not until nearly two decades later, in 1785, did more Acadian Daigre/Daigles reach the colony--58 of them, including nearly a dozen families, aboard six of the Seven Ships from France. They settled on the river above and below New Orleans, most of them at Manchac at the southern edge of the Baton Rouge District; and some in the new Acadian community of Bayou des Écores north of Baton Rouge, which they abandoned in the early 1790s. During the following decades, these river families settled along the entire length of the old Acadian Coast in what became East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Iberville, Ascension, and St. James parishes. They were especially numerous in the Baton Rouge/Manchac area.
Acadian Daigles from France also settled on upper Bayou Lafourche, which became a second important center of family settlement that eventually stretched all the way down into the Terrebonne country. (The town of Daigle north of Houma attests to the family's settlement there.) Most of the Lafourche valley Daigles, however, remained in Assumption Parish, especially around Paincourtville. During the late antebellum and immediate post-war periods, some of them left the bayou and settled near Pierre Part, north of Lake Verret.
In the late 1790s, a Daigle from the river crossed the Atchafalaya Basin and settled in the Attakapas District, but his line did not survive. During the antebellum period, Daigles from Assumption and the Baton Rouge area settled on Bayou Teche and created a small western branch of the family. Late in the period, a few of their cousins from Assumption moved to the Brashear, now Morgan, City area, on the lower Atchafalaya, but the number of Acadian Daigles west of the Basin remained small in comparison to their cousins on the river and in the Lafourche/Terrebonne valley.
Not all of the Daigles of South Louisiana are descendants of Olivier Daigre of Port-Royal. Étienne dit Marlborough d'Aigle, a French-Canadian with German-Austrian roots, came to the colony in the 1720s, decades before his Acadian namesakes, and settled across from Chapitoulas just upriver from New Orleans before moving to St.-Charles des Allemands on the Lower German Coast. By the early 1800s, some of his great-grandsons had crossed the Atchafalaya Basin to the Opelousas prairies and settled along upper Bayou Plaquemine Brûlé near present-day Church Point. Most of the Daigles of southwest Louisiana are descended from these French Canadians, some of whom took Acadian wives soon after they reached the prairies. Other non-Acadian Daigles may have lived on the river and in the Bayou Lafourche valley during the antebellum period, further complicating the family's genealogy. ...
Dozens of Daigres and Daigles, both Acadian and French Canadian, served Louisiana in uniform during the War of 1861-65. At least two of them died in Confederate service, both from disease. ...
In Acadia and during Le Grand Dérangement, the family's surname evolved from Daigre to Daigle, though many members of the family, especially in the Baton Rouge area, retained the original spelling.
