Biography

Pierre Landry is on the Wall of Names at the Acadian Memorial in St. Martinsville, Louisiana Plaque 4 Right. He is listed without his wife Anne Dupuis [apparently deceased] Listed with him are their children Joseph, Anne, Pierre and Fabian^[1]

Joseph Landry, son of Acadian exiles Pierre dit La Vieillard Landry and Anne Elisabeth Dupuis, was born in exile about 1756 in Oxford, Talbot, colonial Maryland. He died in Assumption, Louisiana, United States in February 1815 and was buried in Plattenville 8 Feb 1815. ^[2]

Joseph and his siblings Pierre, Anne and Sophie were detained with their parents at Oxford, Maryland when the census was taken on 7 July 1763.^[3]

This census marks the near end of their detainment in Maryland, for soon they made their way to Louisiana where they settled along the Acadian Coast near Ascension, the area was known as Cabanocey or other variant spellings or St. James. More children were born in Louisiana. On 14 September 1769, the Spanish government ordered a census along of Cabanocey; Joseph is age 13. ^[4]
