Biography

Joseph Abshire was born in December of 1826 in Lafayette, Louisiana to Abraham Abshire and Marguerite Touchet[1]

In 1850 he was living with his family in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana.[2]

He was most likely the Joseph Abshire murdered on April 30, 1863 in a raid by Confederate soldiers. There is a memorial in Abshire Cemetery which honors 11 men killed April 30, 1863 in the Civil War which includes his name.[3]

For the story behind the memorial,[4] read the account at US GenWeb. [5]
