The most distant Bossier I have information about is my 6th Great Grandfather who was Jean-Baptiste? [Jean-Pierre?, Jean-Adam] [dit LeBrun???] who was married to Anne Chennion [Chenion, Chagneau,Chaignot, Chaniau]. I would love to go back even farther, if you have information.
My most recent Bossier is Emelie [Marguerite?, Emilitte? Emelite] who married Pierre Simon Hotard [Outard] on 27 Jan 1807.
The Gaiennies are related to the DeGruys as are the Hotards. I'd love to know about the duel. If you prefer to contact me off message board, please email me at
