Louis Gatien Le Breton des Chapelles

Seeking descendants of Louis Gatien Le Breton des Chapelles, the son of Louis Césaire Le Bretton (1711-1776), Chief Secretary of the Marine at Louisiana, later member of the Superior Council of Louisiana and after his return to France royal councilor at the Cour des Monnaies of Paris.

Among his numerous relatives were Gayarre, the early historian of Louisiana, Professor Fortier, and governors Derbigny, O'Reilly and Estebán Miró.

Re: LOOKING FOR RELATIVES

dpbreton — 2005-05-07 19:37:31Z

Your message is a little old but if it helps, bear in mind the Spanish Breton's lived in both Cuba and Mexico. I know this because I have Breton family in both places. Coincidentally enough both were and are ranchers. The Cuban Breton's were big time ranchers. I mean thousands of acres and heads of cattle, horses, sugar cane, etc.. Very well off family with property thru-out Cuba. Lost everything to Castro. Brothers of the Cuban Breton's were doing the same thing in Mexico, Tlaxcala. Sanchez is a common middle name or prefix to The Spanish Breton's. "Sanchez-Breton". Some of this info may may be helpful.

William Clayton Cook--husband of Sarh Prater b 1807

vroberts_123 — 2006-07-22 21:36:26Z

William Clayton Cook
m 3/22/1829 to Sarah Prater (b 1807).

Sarah is daughter of Jonathan Prater and Mary Breton, granddaughter of Archibald Prater.

Where was he during the census of 1840 and 1850?
At the time of the census of 1840, Wiley Cook, their son was too young to be married. Neither Wiley nor his father were listed on the census. On the census of 1850, Wiley is found in Floyd County, KY as a newlywed.

In a couple of postings, I have seen his death listed as 1860 in Magoffin,KY. Does anyone know if this is correct? Does anyone know if the Cooks were a family all this time?

I am a descendant of their youngest son, Miles Cook and Marinda (Rindy) Jane Purcell. Thank you for any help you may be able to offer.
