Biographical Sketch from Acadians in Gray

Jean-Louis, son of Jean Hébert and Madeleine Gaudet, nephew of Joseph dit Pepin and Mathurin Hébert, was born probably at Halifax in c.1763. Jean-Louis came to Louisiana in 1765 under the care of his paternal grandmother and settled with her at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques on the river.

In the early 1770s, when he was still a child, his grandmother took him to the Attakapas District, where in April 1790 he married first cousin Marie-Rose, called Rose or Rosalie and also Nora, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph Richard of St.-Jacques. Rose's mother was Agnès Hébert, Jean-Louis's paternal aunt.

Jean-Louis and Rose settled at La Côte-aux-Puces, or the Flea Coast, near present-day New Iberia, and then farther down the Teche in what became St. Mary Parish. Their daughters married into the Labauve and LeBlanc families. Jean Louis died probably in St. Mary Parish by February 1818, when he was listed as deceased in his oldest son's marriage record.^[5]
