According to the PM of Couvillon-5: “The entirety of the biography is taken from the book "To Avoyelles with the Couvillon's" by Ira Couvillon published in 1966” I believe that Mr. Couvillon made one of his rare mistakes here. According to the below, Couvillon-5 never left Canada, never married and had no children. “Dictionary of Canadian Biography” http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/quevillon_louis_6E.html “Fourth of the eight children of Jean-Baptiste Quévillon and Marie-Anne Cadieux; d. there unmarried 9 March 1823” Even Ira Couvillon has these as his parents.
On the other hand, the marriage of Marie Anne Pourciau-10 to Adrien Amable Couvillon-10 is supported by : • Point Coupee Parish History and It's Familys. Edited by Judy Riffel, article by Betty T. Pourceau. Baton Rouge La., Le Comite' des Archivesde la Louisiane,1983; page 302. • Amable, of St. Louis de Terrebonne Parish, Canada (Adrien & Francoise Labrocrie) m. 7 Jan 1779 Marie Anne POURCIAU (Jean Baptiste & Marie Therese Chalin) wit. Martin Soudrie & Charles Emon (PCP-2, pt. 2, 204) also (PCP-4, 149)
The following citation says “Amable” Couvillon married Marie Anne Pourciau. No where will you find that “Louis” Amable married her. "Louisiana Births and Christenings, 1811-1830, 1854-1934", database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V2WK-XTH : 14 January 2020), Amable Couvillion, 1788.
And finally, even though Family Search and Find a Grave are not sufficient as sources, their LACK of mentioning Louis Amable Couvillon-5 is telling.
For an explanation, please see my profile Couvillon-141. I hesitated to make any corrections, because it involves so many other profiles and the Louisiana Projects is one of the PMs.
