Elisée "Elisa" Ducros Jumonville Villiers Marsoudet

thomasradkins — 2012-05-10 22:49:55Z

I show Elisée "Elisa" Ducros Jumonville Villiers m. Jean Philippe Marsoudet/Marsondet bef 1840, New Orleans. They had one child Rodolphe Philippe Marsoudet, 1841-1860, and I think another, Julia Marsoudet. 1859-1934.
I am reasonably sure she was the daughter of Ducros of New Orleans, but which one? Rodolphe-Joseph Ducros, 1755-1806,(the patriarch?) had a number of sons in New Orleans.
Can anyone help? I have more info at http://www.adkins9.net/individual.php?pid=I8203 -

Hi Julie! So nice to hear from you. Yes, I live in Texas. My dad, Clayton, was Frank's 2nd son. They had an infant (Frank Laurance) that died in 1925, then my Dad was born in 1926. I've been in contact with Frank (Tom's son) off and on for about 10 years; prior to that I never knew my Dad had living siblings. I'd love to visit with you so please email me sometime (charla_easterbrook@sbcglobal.net). Take care! Charla

Hi Everyone! I'm new to genealogy. My dad, Clayton Barbay, was born to Frank Lawrence and Myrtle (Kerner) Barbay. I do not know a lot about the Barbay side of the family. Frank divorced my grandmother when my dad; I know that Frank remarried and had 2 other children before his accidental drowning. Frank's mom and my great grandmother was Daisy Olano Barbay. Any insight any of you have into the family would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

We have some Devilliers from that area in our family. They are very difficult to trace!

Re: Devillier - Barbay-Olano

moonuniti — 2010-04-01 13:31:12Z

My great grandmother must be Laura Olano. My family called her Mamie and I don't ever remember meeting her. I'm sure I did as a baby! My father pointed out that the web site I linked to was created by his Uncle Don's daughter Bethany, who is my cousin on the Olano/Ryder side of the family! I had no idea.

Re: Devillier - Barbay-Olano

julieggio — 2010-04-01 12:48:50Z

Thanks for the info! Very interesting. Who did that research or where did it come from? What Olano was your father's grandmother? I have always wondered from what part of Spain he was from and now I know; does anyone know from what part of Switzerland the Margot's are from?

my name is david devillier of opelousas la. im currently serving this great country overseas in the middle east and i just wondering where all my family member are from and the history of this great name.

Re: Devillier - Barbay-Olano

cleblanc6318 — 2010-04-01 07:20:16Z

Yes, I knew "Aunt" Laura and attended her wake here in Baton Rouge. Thanks for sending along the document on Juan Francisco Olano--it is interesting! The family lore I always heard from the Charlie Olano family was that Juan Francisco was born in Spain and his wife, Marie Louise Margot, was born in Switzerland. However, when her family arrived in 1849, they were listed as Bavarians. As you probably know, Laura Olano, later Ryder, was named for her mother's sister, Laura Barbay, who became the wife of Louis Margot, no doubt a cousin, and the owner of the auto muffler company.

Re: Devillier - Barbay-Olano

moonuniti — 2010-04-01 00:38:35Z

My father is a Ryder and his grandmother is an Olano. I was reading your thread and found this interesting document about Francisco Olano.

http://issuu.com/betharrison/docs/old_fashioned_journal2

Just paste that into your browser window and zoom in so you can read it clearly. Very interesting document for those interested in Olano family history. On the next page they have copies of the actual census documents listing him, his wife, and children.

Re: Devillier - Barbay

cleblanc6318 — 2010-01-08 22:07:43Z

Actually, Laura O. Ryder, d/o Charles and Emma Olano, was named for her aunt, Laura Barbay Margot,who was also Daisy's aunt.

Re: Devillier - Barbay

cleblanc6318 — 2010-01-08 22:01:18Z

Louis Omèr Barbay, s/o Pauline Marguerite Dupuy and Cléophas Barbay, was born 18 June 1838 in Donaldsonville, Ascension Ph., LA. On 5 Oct 1869 in St. John the Evangelist Church, Plaquemine, Iberville Ph., LA, he married Celeste Devilliers, d/o Ulgèr Devilliers and Emma Bujol, born 28 Oct. 1850 in Iberville Ph., LA.

Re: Devillier - Barbay

cleblanc6318 — 2010-01-08 21:54:54Z

Just in case you've never found the answer to your query-- Thomas Henry Olano was born, according to census records, in March 1874, probably in Barataria, Jefferson Ph., LA, where his parents made their home. They were Juan Francisco Olano and Julia Margot, emigrants from Spain and Switzerland respectively. Thomas Henry's brother, Charles Olano, married Marie Emma Barbay, 6 Sept. 1893 at St. Paul's Church in Bayou Goula. Her parents were Louis Omèr Barbay and Celeste Devilliers. They married at St. John the Evangelist church in Plaquemine, Iberville Ph., LA on 5 Oct. 1869.

I am a direct desendant of Sydalise Devillier, maiden name Carriere. She was married to Louis Coulon Devillier in 1847 in Opelousas, LA. She had a son by her second marriage to Jean Baptiste Roy. His name was Bernary Ray (new spelling). I am his great-great granddaughter. I am trying to find any information on her between 1871 and 1895 when she died.

Re: Devillier - Barbay

fwitty632 — 2008-06-10 20:50:54Z

Re: Devillier - Barbay

julieggio — 2008-06-09 16:57:53Z

hi there fwitty632. Thanks for the info but I am a little confused. You wrote that Cleophas Barbay & Celeste Devillier Barbay had a son named Louis Omer Devillier. Did you mean Louis Omer Barbay? Your info did help. I did not have the names of Louis Omer Barbay's parents. Thanks.

Re: Devillier - Barbay

fwitty632 — 2008-06-04 18:45:11Z

Hi, Robin My grandfather was also from Opelousas La. His name was Kirby Devillier and my grandmother was Cloretta Thibadeaux. I was just browsing, hope I helped a little.

Re: Devillier - Barbay

bethany1985 — 2007-06-27 20:02:08Z

Laura Barbay Margot is probably who my great-grandmother Laura was named after then. She was Emma and Charles' daughter and married a Ryder.

Re: Devillier - Barbay

julieggio — 2007-06-27 19:48:08Z

I just looked at some notes I had from a cousin. It states that two of Thomas Barbay's siblings are Emma Barbay Olano and Laura Barbay Margot(this is the Aunt Laura my mother talks of). Thanks for your link to the pictures of the gravesites. I noticed a Frank Olano, I must look at it again to see if this is the Frank that married Mary Louise Margot - my other set of great grandparents. So many brothers and sisters married brothers and sisters that we have double cousins.

Re: Devillier - Barbay

bethany1985 — 2007-06-27 19:35:36Z

I believe that would have been my great-grandmother. Daisy Olano had a brother named Charles, correct? Daisy and Charles both married Olanos, Thomas and Emma. I have a photo of Emma & Charles' headstone here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/betharrison/602678425/in/set-72...

Re: Devillier - Barbay

julieggio — 2007-06-27 19:19:09Z

My mother talks of Aunt Laura. I think it may be the same Laura. I must ask her. My mother's mother was Daisy Olano. She married Thomas Barbay.

Re: Devillier - Barbay

Looking for information on Jean Baptiste DeVillier and Felicite Laperuse

sherrykhstewart — 2007-04-24 18:01:27Z

Just started researching my mother's family and am looking for any information we can find on the ancestors of Jean Baptiste and Felicite. They lived in St. Landry Parish from about 1843 til about 1920. They had 8 children, including one set of twins (Theogene and Ermosa). Theogene was my maternal great grandfather.

Any information would be helpful. Theogene's daughter, my grandmother, would not discuss her family. So, we are conducting this research 8 yers after her death.

Re: Devillier - Barbay

julieggio — 2006-11-22 18:08:33Z

Thank you for the info. I just want to make sure I have this correct - the children's names that you listed are the children of Ulger & Emna Devillier? Is that correct? Seems Omar Barbay married Ulger & Emna's child Celeste. Does it state Celeste's age? Celeste & Omar were my great grandparents. Thanks again.

Re: Arthur C. DeVillier

MagdaleneHebertRoss — 2003-02-28 20:36:31Z

Pam,
I believe if Corbit Devillier had a Social Security death he wouldn't have died as a child. In some of the families they would have another son and name them the same name as a dead child to persive the name. I had that happen in my Lanclos family two Gersime Lanclos by the same parents. One died as a child and the other is my great Grandfather. It a possibality. Maggie

The resturant was torn down and it is now a lumber yard. Sorry I did not make that clear. The info. on Henry Corbet Devilliers is not my grandfather . He died when he was 2 years old. So I am back to square one again. So close and yet so far away. When I pulled his birth records up he was born on Mar 12 1893 and died Jul 17 1895 . Well when you come home you let me know and maybe we can get together I still have family in Port Barre. Well go to go see ya.

If you could send me the time period when your relatives lived there and what town, etc. it was in I might be able to find some information for you.
