Biography

Louis L'Amoureaux dit Rochefort is on the Wall of Names at the Acadian Memorial in St. Martinville, Louisiana Plaque 12-Right. Listed with him is his wife Marie Hebert and two children: Jean Louis and Adelaide. ^[1]

Jean Louis was born about 1764 in France. He is the son of Louis Lamoureux and Marie Hébert.

In September 1784 his parents were on a list of Acadian families in Nantes who wish to establish themselves in Louisiana. There were two children in the family home, a boy (likely Jean-Louis) and a girl (Adelaïde). ^[2]

In 1785 Louis and Marie immigrated to Louisiana aboard La Caroline, and disembarked in New Orleans on 17 December 1785 with children Louis and Adélaïde. Louis was 20 years of age, a sailor. ^[3] They were first listed on the ship L'Amitié but did not embark on that ship.

He died in Louisiana. ^[4]
