That means you are also descended from Pierre Vincent. Father to Jean Baptiste. I don't have any information on his siblings. But I did find this in the Lafayette Daily Advertiser. Pierre Vincent crossed the Atlantic on Le Beaumont, which sailed up the Mississippi on August 19, 1785. Le Beaumont was the third of seven ships taking Acadians from France to Louisiana. He first married Agnes Broussard, but she died shortly after the marriage. He then married Catherine Galmond and had nine children with her. They originally settled at the intersection of the Vermilion River and Bayou Que de Tortue. (Source: Remembering our Acadian Heritage, by Jim Bradshaw, special to the Lafayette Daily Advertiser) I would love to get any information you have.

Author: DeVonka' Bratton Date: 27 Aug 2001 4:00 AM Surnames: Petry-Briggs Dear Liz, I am looking for information regarding the Petry-Briggs family of Abbeville LA, that migratted from Germany. I have written to Wendy Stewart who is also looking for information and her records connect our family together. My great great grandfather is Louise H. Petry, and Grandmother is Julia Briggs. My uncle was George Petry and there are a host of aunts and uncles. Please if you have any more infomation contact me at my email. DeVonka Bratton Re: My Prejeans Author: Peggy Prejean Case Date: 27 Aug 2001 5:24 PM I am a Prejean who grew up in Port Arthur. Our line is the same through Armand (Amand?). I have Dominique as the first child by Amand and his second wife Marie Theriot. I am descended through Amand and his first wife Marie Magdeline Martin and their son Joseph (3rd child, b 1759). From there my pedigree follows Edouard (b 1789), Edouard Ursin (b 1815), Don Louis (b 1848), Joseph O'Neill (b 1878), Romain (b 1906). Mouton is another of my family names. I begin (questionably) with Johanne Mouton, who immigrated to Acadia in 1685. My next name is Salvador Mouton, b 1735. From there my line follows Marin (b 1758), Sylvester (b 1802), Valery (b 1852), Mathilde (b 1879), Romain (b 1906). Mathilde married Joseph O'Neill Prejean in Abbeville. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you. Re: My Prejean's Author: Kristie Date: 27 Aug 2001 5:15 PM Surnames: Prejean Hi Peggy! You can visit my website at www.prejean.ws. It has genealogical info on all the Prejean's I could find. Since the creation of the site I have received more information from Prejean "cousins" that I have not added yet. If you'd like to send me info about your family I will gladly include it when I update the site in a few weeks. Kristie kwistie@kwistie.com Re: My Prejean's Author: Peggy Prejean Case Date: 27 Aug 2001 5:06 PM We follow the same line through Edouard Prejean (b 1789); however, my info has Adre Valerian (12th child of 15) born in 1832. Also, I have the birthdate of Jean dit le Briton as abt 1641 and his immigration to Acadia in 1671 and his marriage to Andree Savoie in 1680. (Considering this marriage date, his birthdate in 1651 sounds correct.) Any assistance would be appreciated! Re: Mouton Relatives Author: Peggy Prejean Case Date: 27 Aug 2001 4:51 PM I cannot find any of the names you mention in my file; however, I am a descendant of the Mouton line. My grandmother was Mathilde Mouton (m O'Neil Prejean), b 1879, daughter of Valery Mouton (son of Sylvester, etc.). Mathilde grew up in Abbeville and was married there, so there probably is a connection.

Re: Breaux Author: Sandra Lott Date: 13 Aug 2001 7:35 PM I am looking for information about the family of Vincent McKinney from Jefferson County, Tennessee (b. abt 1803-1806). I am descended from Nancy McKinney (b. abt 1800, VA) m. James G. Ward in Jefferson County, Tennessee in 1822. Nancy had a son named Vincent McKinney Ward, and so I think she must be connected (perhaps a sister) to this Vincent. Could you send me any information you have about Vincent McKinney's parents, gparents, siblings, etc.? I would be very grateful for anything you can provide.

Mary Alice Broussard Help Author: Kristie Hart Date: 20 Jan 2001 12:00 PM Surnames: Broussard, Prejean, Hebert I'm having the most trouble with VICTOR BROUSSARD (b.May 1866) married Helene Hebert on 10 Oct. 1881. I cannot find Victor's pedigree. I have Helene Hebert's pedigree, though. Also, need to find pedigree of ELIZABETH BROUSSARD married to Arcisse Prejean. They lived in Abbeville, Vermilion Parish, and she was alive in 1963 when my sister was born. We have a picture of all five generations from Elizabeth Broussard to my sister. Thanks for your help!

I reread my papers: Marie Anne Mouton's parents are Marin and Marie Josephe Lambert. Marie Josephe's father was Jean-Baptiste Lambert of Mobile, Alabama. I do not yet have her mother's name.

Author: Derrellyn Yates Date: 18 Jan 2001 12:00 PM Surnames: STELLY, MONTEAU, VINCENT, BROUSSARD The records of the marriages listed below state that Pierre Villere Monteau and Josephine Stelly were the parents of Azelie and Dupreville Monteau (see below). Azelie Monteau m. 21 July 1874 Joseph Broussard (Abbeville Ch.: v.2, p.9) Dupreville Monteau m. 12 May 1874 Azelia Vincent (Abbeville Ch.: v.2, p.7) I found these marriages listed in Father Hebert's books and am curious as to whether anyone out there has any proof or corrections or further information as it was once disputed by a contributor here that Pierre Villere & Josephine Stelly ever married. All information gratefully received.
