Biography
Pierre was born in 1768. Pierre DuBois ... [1]
Pierre, age 29, resident of Attakapas for 4 years and of Louisiana for 12 years, with no family in the colony, son of Vincent Dubois and Jeanne Gourdel of Lo, Vanes, Brittany, France, married Julienne, daughter of French Creole Jean Dartes of Castres, Bordeaux, at Attakapas in April 1797. They settled on lower Bayou Teche and then, in the 1810s, on the lower Vermilion. Their daughters married into the Broussard, Pivauteau, and Trahan families. Pierre's succession records were filed at the St. Martinville and Vermilionville courthouses in October 1822 and June 1823.[2] He would have been in his early 50s. Most of his six sons married, and most took Acadian wives. Many of his grandsons moved south to Vermilion Parish, and many of them also took Acadian brides.
