Louis Marie Chauvin, son of Louis Chauvin and Angélique Perthuis, was born in Kaskaskia, Pays des Illinois about 1752. He married Marie Anne Francoeur in Kaskaskia in February 1770.^[1] They had a child and moved to Louisiana before 1773, when their daughter was baptized there.^[2]

Research Notes

• Louisiana Melting Pot shows the parents of the Louis Marie Chauvin who married Marie Anne Francoeur as

5 Louis Marie CHAUVIN , Sr. b: 14 JAN 1702 d: ABT 1754^[3]

+ Angelique PERTHUIS b: 15 SEP 1721 d: 8 FEB 1791

This page about their son Paul Hypolite Chauvin^[4] has Louis Marie Chauvin [pere]'s death as 1754, when Angelique was about 33. She [then?] moved to St. Genevieve, Missouri, still in the French Colony, with [Pol], his younger brother Louis (a two-year-old toddler), and an infant son Pierre. She died there in 1791. Her son Louis, who married Marianne Francour, died there in 1819. (No sources given for Louis' death in Missouri.)

• This Louis Marie Chauvin is the son of Louis Marie Chauvin, son of Gilles Chauvin, son of Pierre Chauvin dit Le Grand Pierre. Pierre had a son named Louis who adopted "de Beaulieu," but there is no evidence that this Louis Marie Chauvin used "de Beaulieu."
