Pierre-François & Marie-Anne Françoise came to the New World on "Le Profond" in 1720.
(The parents and grandparents of Marie Françoise CELLIER (SELLIER) are strictly speculative at this time). She came to the New World via/on "Profond" in 1720 with her husband, Pierre.1 Although it is believed that the family were originally destined for the Law Concession at Arkansas Post, they do not appear on the 1723 census there. However, the concession was miserable failure and it is believed that he and his family may have been living in the area around the concession. The family did not appear in the 1726 census. In 1727, Marie's husband, Pierre, was listed as a witness to a marriage in New Orleans. It is not known if the family was living there, however. She appeared in the census in 1731. Marie died before 27 January 1739 in (Pointe Coupée Parish), Louisiana, USA. On that day, her husband, Pierre Mayeux, signed a marriage contract with Marie Francoise Manne.251 [1]
On the i6th of September, 1720, the ship "Le Profond"
brought more than 240 Germans "for the concession of Mr.
Law," and on the 9th of November, 1720, the ship "La Marie"
brought Mr. Levens, the second director of Law's concessions,
and Mr. Maynard, "conducteur d'ouvriers." [2]
