Note: Some members of this family were called "Firmin" (maybe to point to their descendancy from Jacques Firmin Ferre).
Adelaide Ferret, daughter of Joseph Ferret and Ositte Josette Juneau, was born on 6 June 1793. Her baptism was recorded on 7 February 1794 in the church registers at Pointe Coupee, Louisiana, New Spain. Her godparents were Jean Pierre Carbonet and Marie Dardenne.[1][2]
She married on 10 July 1808 to Narcisse Mayeux.[3][4]
After the death of Narcisse Mayeux she married Monsieur Guillory in 1821.[citation needed]
Adelaide Ferret, veuve Mayeaux, Madame Guillory died in 1833. [citation needed]
