Biography
- François, son of Nicolas Denys and Antoinette Bergere,[1] was born in 1730. He married (1) Marie Jeanne Metif on 4 June 1753 at New Roads, Point Coupee, Louisiana[2] and had two daughters:
- Marie Jeanne died at Point Coupee in 1763.[3]
- François Bonaventure married (2) Marie Louise Macon at Pointe Coupee on 22 August 1763.[1] Their children included
- Marie, born 1765[3]
- François, born 24 November 1767; died 5 December 1767 at Pointe Coupee[1]
- Jean, born 9 July 1769, christened on 12 April 1770 at St. Francis Church, New Roads, Point Coupee[4][5]
- Suzanne, born 3 December 1779 at Donaldsonville, Ascension, Louisiana[3]
Research Notes
- Estimated death date: Profile had 1764, which was after the death date given in the profile for his first wife but before his second marriage. Changed to 1780 (profile attached for daughter Suzanne has December 1779 birth). ~ Liz Shifflett, 16 February 2018
- Changed to before 1785 to accommodate daughter Magdalena, whose 1782 birth is marked as certain on her profile. ~ Liz Shifflett, 8 August 2020
- Estimated birth date: 1730 remains, although that triggered a database error because his father's profile has death year of 1729:
- "Check the data" warning: A father's death date (Denys-8 died 1729) should not be more than nine months before one of his children's birth dates (Bonaventure-6 born 1730).
- The dates (1729/1730) could easily both be correct.

Jean Bonaventure was my 52Ancestors profile for last week. And I just found his christening record in FamilySearch - son of Francois & Marie Louise Olivier dite Masson.
