DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:

Mallet-774 and Malley-6 are not ready to be merged because: Jean Mallet Sr. entered the Port of New Orleans in February of 1820. So it would be hard to support a birth date of a child in June of that year. It is true that there are census records that indicate an 1820 birth date, but that data is based on what people tell the recorder. I would check The Ladner Odyssey to see if it has relevant information and would take that information as more reliable. One thing to keep in mind is that French was the primary language spoken in the family, which may have contributed to poor transfer of information. My dad told me that Pierre and Emily spoke French exclusively to each other. That would have been in the 30's and 40's.

I believe we're cousins! Emily and Pierre's daughter Ada Louise (born Louisa Ada) was my great-grandmother. I don't think the ship registry is the same Jean Mallet. It says he was 23 and ours would have been 28 in 1820. I bet that was (and may still be) a pretty common name. I found a whole slew of male Jean Mallets on Facebook.

Jean Malley and Elizabeth Tillman moved to Lucedale, MS and raised a large family over there with the last name Mallette. His grave marker says he was born in Marseilles, France. I have a photo of the grave marker somewhere. I should post it.

One problem with grave markers is that they are usually made after the person is dead. So the people responsible for the stone may not have remembered the information correctly back in those days. I have always thought he was from Normandy.

I have a photo of a grave marker that just has his and Elizabeth's names and dates, no places. It doesn't look like you can add a photo to a comment. Is this the same Jean Mallette that was married to Louise Nicaise? I don't know if I have two people mixed up or what.

So poking around. .The 1850 census lists a John Mallett age 57 born in France, married to Elizabeth age 56 born in Georgia and seven children ages 1-16, all born in Mississippi. Same guy? Did they move to Missouri later? Is this the same John (or Jean) married to Louise Nician earlier? He would have been 41 when the 16-year-old was born so that is old enough for a second family.

Mallet-774 and Malley-6 appear to represent the same person because: Same parents. Is there a source for a separate child born in 1820? If so, please reject the merge, and add full details of the source to the profile. If they are duplicates, please advise which is the preferred last name at birth. Thanks so much!
