Biography

Jean Pierre Guérin died young.
JEROME GUERIN is on the Wall of Names at the Acadian Memorial in St. Martinville, Louisiana Plaque 9 Left, Le Saint Remi". Listed with him is his wife Marie Pittre and their son Jean Pierre Guerin. [1]

Jean Pierre was born in 1783. He was baptized on 20 November 1783 at St Nicolas Parish in Nantes, France. He was the son of Gerome Guérin and Marie Pitre. [2]

In September 1784 Jérôme and Marie with their son appeared on a list of Acadian families in Nantes, France "who want to go to Louisiana to establish themselves at the expense of His [Spanish] Catholic Majesty." [3]

They sailed aboard the St. Rémi, a ship chartered by the Spanish government to transport Acadian exiles from France to Louisiana. The ship departed St. Malo, France, on June 20, 1785 and subsequently picked up a small contingent of Acadian passengers at Paimboeuf. Because of congestion and unhealthy conditions aboard the vessel, diseases claimed the lives of numerous passengers during the voyage. Smallpox killed twelve children, while scurvy took the lives of three women. Following their arrival in New Orleans on December 5, 1785, an additional sixteen Acadians died as a result of smallpox. Accompanied by his wife and an infant child during the voyage. [4]


He passed away before the 1788 census in Louisiana.

The 1788 census of the Lafourche District indicates that Jérôme was the thirty-six-year-old head of a household including Marie Pitre, his forty-year-old wife, and Anne marie Guérin, his one-year-old daughter. He and his family occupied a tract of land with six arpents frontage. They owned twenty-five barrels of corn and six hogs. His name is rendered as Gerome Guerin in the 1789 census of the Lafourche District. The 1789 census of the left-bank settlements of the Lafourche District indicates that he was the the thirty-seven-year-old head of a household including Marie Pitre, his forty-one-year-old wife, and Anne Marie Guérin, his one-year-old daughter. He and his family occupied a tract of land with six arpents frontage. They owned twenty barrels of corn, one horse, and five hogs.[5]
