Research Notes

From Find A Grave:

I don't have anything that gives her birth date as the one shown above, I have found most records giving her birth as 1776. ??? Most list her birthplace as Mississippi and a few say it is Louisiana, we have no records that tells us for sure where she was born. Also on her death place, some say Vincent Settlement, some say Bayou d'Inde, all we know for sure is she died in Calcasieu parish....

Louise died at 5 years, Jan 1798

Isaac died at the Alamo Mar 1836

Adelaide also died young^[4]
