J. C. SANGUINETT, JEANNERETTE.--J. C. Sanguinett was born in New Orleans, in

native of Italy and the latter of New Orleans.  They became the parents of
seven children, viz.:  Caroline Angel,  Cora,  Harriet,  Joseph C. (our

age; his mother married a second time, and Joseph was taken by his uncle, who
lived in the parish of St. James.  He was sent to the public schools in New
Orleans.  At the age of fourteen his uncle took him on his plantation and he
engaged in business there, in which he continued until the opening of the war.
