Connie Marie:

The Bellevue Plantation was downriver from New Orleans, in Plaquemines Parish, on the right hand side of the river as you descend the river towards the Gulf. I've seen maps and aerial photos of the land. It was right across the river from a small "town" or rather community named "Bellevue." You can use the internet to search for Bellevue, Plaquemines Parish, and you'll probably find it. It is believed that Prosper Casimir Barbin, whose parents died when he was a small child, was raised first by his maternal grandfather, Pierre Voisin. And then when he died, he was taken in by one of his father's friends who owned the Bellevue Plantation. In later years, when that man died, he left the Plantation to Prosper, who later, along with his wife, were known around New Orleans as "The De Bellevues."

The Barbin Family of Marksville

Hello Connie Barbin !!!

Your great-grandfather (Adelma Benoit Barbin - born August 11, 1862) and my grandmother (Louise Esma Barbin Chaudoir - born November 1, 1870) were brother and sister. My grandmother married Edward Florian Chaudoir (born May 24, 1872) also of Marksville. Both of my grandparents (Barbin/Chaudoir) died before I was born.

My grandparents moved to Alexandria; however, both are buried in St. Joseph's Cemetery in Marksville.

I would like to contact you so we can share more information on the Barbin Family History. Most of what you have posted agrees with information that I have. Thanks for you help!

Connie-
I am a cousin of yours, being descended from Louis Jacques Barbin, then Hermantine (or Armantine) b. 1824 in N.O. She married my GGgrandF, Edmond Saucier. We probably have MANY ancestors in common.

Gary,

Yes I'd like to hear any additional information you have on Francois Barbin. I've gotten some information from a fellow researcher. I have a copy of the married record, death records for Xavier & Marie, some baptism records for there children, and Xavier's will. Do you know anything on the grandchildren of Francois or where any of his children ended up? I have his children as follows based on the records I've already found:

Edward born 1851 and married Delphina Frechette in 1874 Warwick,QC
Alfred born 1853 and married Adele Joncas in 1867 Warwick, QC
Clovis born in 1855
M. Anne born 1857 and married Edmund Gelinas in 1878 (my line)
Laeda Elizire born in 1858 married Binord unknown in ?
Leonard Felix born in 1861 married Matilda unknown in ?
M. Zelise born in 1863 married unknown Beaupre in ?
Emma Elina born in 1866
Pierre Olivier born in 1876 married Nancy Dupil in 1868 in Berlin, NH
M. Lucina born in 1897 married Herbert unknown in ?
J. Ernest born in 1871 married Alex. Beauparlant in 1893 Lowell, MA

What line are you descended from? Were any pictures from this generation passed down through your line?
