Hello out there,
In my never ending (or so it seems!) attempt to confirm the parentage etc. of my 2nd great grandfather Merile Gros of Assumption Parish, LA, I recently discoverd that there were about 6 soldiers in Co. C of the 1st LA Heavy Artillery Regiment (CSA) whose last names were spelled Greaux and in a few cases were also spelled Gros. I believe the correct spelling in all cases is Gros. Of particular interst to me are the names Merille Greaux and Michelle Greaux. These two soldiers, along with Alfred Gros/Greaux, Joseph Greaux/Gros, Lausinais/Segros/Lowin Greaux/Gros and Manilla Greaux all joined/were conscripted into this unit on October 20, 1862. Based on the records of Alfred, Joseph and Lausinais, I suspect that they were all from Assumption Parish. Merille Greaux died of disease 30 Nov 1862 and Michelle died of disease by Dec 1862, both at Vicksburg, MS. I suspect that Merille is my "missing" 2nd gr gf Merile Gros and Michelle is his brother Michel Gros. My Merile was born about 1835 and married Pauline Hebert (1831-1915 Arkansas) in 1859. My gr gf Joseph Cleophas Gros (1862-1917 Arkansas) was their son. Michel Gros was born in 1837 and was married to Rosalie Obeline Hebert (1831-?) in 1859. Michel and Rosalie had a son Pierre Cleophas Gros (1861-?). Michel and Merile (?) were sons of Jean Pierre Gros and Celeste Marie Hebert. Their wives, Pauline and Rosalie were sisters, the daughters of Ursin Hebert and Marie Constance Hebert. Does anyone have any additional info about these soldiers or thoughts?! Pauline Hebert Gros remarried (to Francois Lizonier Bourg) in 1866. Does anyone have anything on Michel or his wife Rosalie?
Thanks again!
