Biography

Ferdinand was born in 1826 in LaRoche, Dordogne, France to Pierre and Ann Machet Patureau. The family immigrated to Louisiana in 1840. When Ferdinand was still 14 years old, he returned to France, working his passage across the ocean. The family did not know his whereabouts for 6 to 8 months. He remained in France for 1 1/2 years and then immigrated to Louisiana in 1843. The impetus to this may have been the death of his mother in the same year.

He married Marie Emma Landry in 1847 and moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. They had 16 children together. At one point they lived in Mexico to get away from the turmoil of the Civil War in the States. A son Vincent Maximilian Patureau was born there. The family returned to Louisiana and settled in the Plaquemine area in Iberville Parish. He died on Feb. 24, 1877, as a result of an accident in his sawmill. '
