Notes for Jacque Antoine LeBorne:
- Jacque Antoine LeBorne was a member of the 99-person DeMeuves Concession, which later became the German Coast.
They sailed from La Rochelle on La Marie on 23 May 1718. The ship arrived in
Louisiana on 25 August 1718. The Concession contingent settled about 30 miles above New Orleans.
Jacque settled across the river between Cannes Bruslee (Kenner) and Anse ou Outardes (Norco).
From an October 1726 list of persons requesting slaves from the Company, Jacque was a resident at the Bayougoulas.
- 1 July 1727: census (right bank ascending): Antoine LeBorne, his wife and one child (between Francois Cheval and Rene Dorvain).
- 1731 census: Bornes, wife and 3 children were residing at Anse aux Outardes
- 1731 Landowners: east bank Miss. R. ascending, 10 arpents by possession.
- After the Choctaw Indians raided the habitations on the east bank (1748-9), and at least one of his neighbors Francois Cheval was murdered, Jacque moved to the west bank and acquired land grants on the lower end of what was to have been the original Concession above present day Hahnville.
Notes for Genevieve Bettemont:
- Genevieve Bettemont arrived in 1719 on La Mutine in the passenger list of "girls from Paris sent by order of the King".
These were the "Casket Girls" who came to Biloxi (1718-20) and subsequently to New Orleans.
(casket referred to the small travel bags they came with.)
- The Penicault Narrative (translated as Fleur de Lys and Calumet) lists seven ships arriving from France in early 1720:
La Gironde, L'Elephant, La Loire, La Seine, Le Dromadaire, Le Traversier and La
Venus, all arriving at Isle-aux-Vaisseaux. The author estimated that more than 4,000 new colonists arrived on these ships, and that at least 60 of them were female prisoners from the Hopital-General (house of detention & correction) of Paris. In a footnote to this passage, Richebourg McWilliams says that "Statistics of the Company of the Indies and police records show that of the 1,215 women put aboard ships for Louisiana between October, 1717, and May, 1721, more than half were prostitutes." [fn, page 240].
Where Genevieve fits in this grouping is unknown.
