Biography

Joseph Dugat is on the Wall of Names at the Acadian Memorial in St. Martinville, Louisiana, Plaque 8 St. Remi Arrive Le 9 Septembre 1785. He is listed with his second spouse Anastasie Barrillot and their combined 9 children: Joseph, Francois, Jean Pierre, Marie, Cecille, Elizabet, Anastasie, Anne and Marguerite.^[1]

Anastasie Barrieau was the daughter of Pierre Barrieau and Véronique Girouard^[2] born c.1741 in Acadie. She spent at least part of the Acadian exile in France, and she married the widowed Joseph Dugat (the name became Dugas in Louisiana) in St. Malo, France in 1770.

Children of the marriage:

1. François Basile Dugas (1771)
2. Anastasie Celeste Dugas (1773)
3. Jean Pierre Dugas (1775)
4. Anne Marguerite Dugas (1779)
5. Marguerite Euphrosine Dugas (1783)

Sailed aboard the St. Rémi, a ship chartered by the Spanish government to transport Acadian exiles from France to Louisiana. Departed St. Malo, France, on June 20, 1785; the ship subsequently picked up a small contingent of Acadian passengers at Paimboeuf. Because of congestion and unhealthy conditions aboard the vessel, diseases claimed the lives of numerous passengers during the voyage. Smallpox killed twelve children, while scurvy took the lives of three women. Following their arrival in New Orleans on December 5, 1785, an additional sixteen Acadians died as a result of smallpox.
