Acadian Immigrants to Bayou des Écores, New Feliciana, 1785-86 

Spanish censuses at nearby Baton Rouge and Manchac in July 1788 reveal that some of these families left Bayou des Écores years before the devastating hurricanes of August 1794.  Some of the families from La Ville d'Archangel may have gone straight to Baton Rouge/Manchac from New Orleans in early 1786, though Spanish records say otherwise.  See <thecajuns.com/1785acad.pdf>; Kinnaird, "Post War Decade, 1782-91," 169.  Baton Rouge was on the river south of Bayou des Écores, and Manchac lay on a prominent bend south of Baton Rouge.

Ages are as of 1785.  Individuals with surnames in bold are male family heads or the eldest sons of widows.  Hyperlinks take you to individual histories in the Acadians-to-Louisiana Alpha List, which contain many more details of each person's life.  Non-Acadian spouses are linked to their Acadian spouses on the Acadian family pages.
