Charles Pontiff/Catherine Hauptman, LA

Pam Miranda — 23 May 2000 7:42:59 GMT

Hi, I'm looking for the parents of Charles
Pontiff (Pontife) who married Catherine Hauptman
(Hochmann) and resided in Louisiana. Charles
died before 1839, and Catherine died around
1827. Their son Justin married Marie Madeleine
Lejeune. Any information greatly appreciated.

Are the LA Pontiffs and Acadian Pontiffs related?

I'm looking for documentation supporting the idea that Charles Pontiff of LA, b. ca. 1732, was related to Jacques David Pontiff who m. Jeanne de St. Etienne de LaTour in Pt. Royal on Nov. 19, 1703. I have found documented records of one son of this couple, Jacques Francois (b. Feb. 9, 1705), but _undocumented_ information on a website that there were two other sons, Pierre and Charles Emanuel.

I would like to exchange information with anyone with documented information regarding the Acadian Pontiffs.

thanks....

Hi Pam, My sister send me her book on the Pontiff's. Charles Pontiff was born about 1732 if his death record is correct. He does not appear in the records of the German Coast of Louisiana until after 1770. Where he came from and who his parents were ia a mystery. Yes, there was a Jacques David dit Pontife on one record will appear as Jacques Pontife-David on another.A Certifirate of Death St. Joseph's Church Thibodaux,La. shows he died July 14,1832.In the Lafourche Parish courthouse: Probate Record-1827 the inventory of the property of Charles Pontif and his deceased wife Catherine Hockman who died in Lafourche Parish on April 1,1827 at 6 a.m.Augustin"Justin"Pontiff was the 14 child of Charles and Catherine Pontiff.Justin listed his birth date as 1790 on census records. However, this date does not coincide with baptismal records for any of the chilren.They had 15 children.My Mom's family are ancestors of Martial Claiborne Pontiff who was Justin son.If you can give me more information about Justin I may be able to help you.Talk to you later.
