NOTES

02. Wall of Names, 10, calls him Jean Baptiste. Is this only a given name, or is BAPTISTE his surname? I have found him in no other source.

03. Wall of Names, 12, calls him Joseph cousin [of Joseph BOURG 2]. Are he & his sisters BOURGs, too?

04. Wall of Names, 12, calls her Madeleine cousine [of Joseph BOURG 2].  Are she & her siblings BOURGs, too?

05.  Wall of Names, 21, calls her Madeleine, & lists her with her mother & sisters. So who was her father, & what was his family's name? I have found her in no other source.

06.  Wall of Names, 21, calls her Marguerite, & lists her with her mother & sisters. So who was her father, & what was his family's name? I have found her in no other source.

07.  Wall of Names, 12, calls her Marie cousine [of Joseph BOURG 2].  Are she & her siblings BOURGs, too?  Is she the Marie, daughter of Joseph BOURG & Marguerite LANDRY, who married Joseph, son Alexis BREAUX & Madeleine TRAHAN, at St.-Jacques in Feb 1790? See BRDR 2:125, 147 (SJA-2, 10). Witnesses to the marriage were Charles BREAUX, Marie PREJEAN, & Basile PREJEAN. I cannot fit this marriage with any of the Marie BOURGs whose names have been identified.

09.  Wall of Names, 20, calls her Marie orpheline, but gives no surname.

10. Wall of Names, 13, calls her Marie, & lists her with her husband & 2 children. The Spanish report of Feb 1768 also fails to give her surname, but that is normally the case with wives in that report. See Voorhies, J., Some Late Eighteenth-Century Louisianians, 436.

11.  Wall of Names, 21, calls her Marie, no surname, & lists her with her mother & sisters. So who was her father, & what was his family's name? I have found her in no other source.
