Bayou Lafourche Census 

 1770-1798

Pitre Extractions

 

The following census extractions have come from the book, “Colonial Settlers along Bayou Lafourche 1770-1798”, which was compiled, translated & edited by Albert J. Robichaux Jr.  I have reproduced them here as they appear in the book, along with my conclusions as to who they are. 

 

Almost all of these were the Acadian descendants who arrived in Louisiana aboard the ‘Seven Ships’ in 1785.  I have included both male and female Pitres to give a better overall view of where the families settled.  For a more detailed explanation as to the origin of the censuses and for additional census information on related families, please consult Mr. Robichaux’s book.
