Acadians Who Found Refuge in Louisiana, February 1764-early 1800s
[DAY-gull, DEG-ul]
ACADIA
Olivier Daigre, born in c1643, reached Acadia from France by c1666, the year he married Marie, daughter of Denis Gaudet. Olivier was only in his 40s when he died at Port-Royal in the late 1680s. Nonetheless, he and Marie had 10 children, including two sons, both born at Port-Royal, who married and created families of their own:
Older son Bernard, born in c1670, married Marie-Claire, daughter of Bernard Bourg, in c1691 probably at Port-Royal. They moved to the Minas Basin, where they had 13 children, including nine sons who married into the Richard, Gautreaux, Testard dit Paris, Landry, Breaux, Doucet, Boudrot, Hébert, and Vincent families. Bernard and many of his descendants moved from the Minas Basin to Île St.-Jean, today's Prince Edward Island, probably in the late 1740s or early 1750s to escape British authority. Bernard died at Port-Lajoie, Île St.-Jean, in January 1751, age 80.
Younger son Olivier, fils, born in c1674, married Jeanne, daughter of Guillaume Blanchard, in c1699 at Port-Royal. They remained in the Port-Royal area, where they had six children, including three sons who married into the Arceneaux, Cormier, Granger, and Thériot families. ...
LE GRAND DÉRANGEMENT
Like most old Acadian families, Le Grand Dérangement of the 1750s scattered this large family to the winds. ...
LOUISIANA: RIVER SETTLEMENTS
The first descendant of Olivier Daigre to reach Louisiana arrived in September 1766 from Maryland. Agnès-Marie, daughter of Paul Daigle, was only 14 when she reached the lower Mississippi Valley probably with relatives. She went to Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, now St. James Parish, on the Mississippi River above New Orleans, where she married Thomas Thériot in April 1771. But it took almost 20 years for more Acadian Daigres to reach the colony. All of the other Acadian Daigres who came to Louisiana arrived aboard six of the Seven Ships from France in 1785. They were especially numerous aboard the third ship, Le Beaumont, which reached New Orleans in August. ...
LOUISIANA: LAFOURCHE VALLEY SETTLEMENTS
By the mid-1790s, Spanish officials were counting Acadian Daigres in the upper valley of Bayou Lafourche. ...
LOUISIANA: WESTERN SETTLEMENTS
An Acadian Daigre did not move into the prairie settlements west of the Atchafalaya until the 1790s. Simon-Pierre Daigre of Belle-Île-en-Mer, France, married widow Francoise Trahan at Atakapas, now St. Martinville, in February 1798. ...
NON-ACADIAN FAMILIES in LOUISIANA
Not all of the Daigre/Daigles of South Louisiana were Acadians. ...
CONCLUSION
In Louisiana, the family's surname evolved from Daigre to Daigle. The family's name also is spelled D'aigle, Daigue, Degle.

Wall of Names, 31 (pl. 7R), calls him Alexis DAIGLE, & lists him singly; Arsenault, Gènèalogie, 2469, calls him Alexis DAIGRE, does not give his parents' names, & details his marriage, calling his wife Marie LEBRUN but does not give her parents' names or the names of his children; Hébert, D., Acadian Families in Exile 1785, 22-23, calls him Alexis DAIGLE, graveur, age 22, on the embarkation list, Alexis DAIGLE, on the debarkation list, & Alexis DAIGLE, engraver, age 22, on the complete listing, says he was in the 54th "Family" aboard La Bergère with no one else, & lists the implements the Spanish gave to him after he reached LA; BRDR, 2:212, 487 (ASC-2, 12), his marriage record, calls him Alexis DAIGLE, calls his wife Marie LEBRON, does not give his or his wife's parents' names but says they were Acadians, & that the witness to his marriage was Francois LANDRY. See also Voorhies, J., Some Late Eighteenth Century Louisianians, 493; Robichaux, Bayou Lafourche, 1770-98, 24, 66, 105, 119, 163.
The birth/baptismal record of son Mathurin, fils, dated 5 May 1800, in BRDR, 2:218 (ASM-1, 168), says the boy's parents were from "Bolonia in Picardia," which is Picardy in northern France. A LEVRON birth record in BRDR, 2:487 (ASM-1, 172), says that Marie's brother Alexis also was "of Bolonia in Picordia." The birth/baptismal record of daughter Marie-Claire, dated 18 Mar 1797, in NOAR, 6:70 (SLC, B14, 26), says the girl's parents were "natives of Boulogne-sur-mer in Picardy in France." So there is no question that Alexis & Marie were from the same town in Picardy.
His & his wife's parents' names are from the birth/baptismal records of son Mathurin, fils & daughter Marie-Claire, cited above, both of which call him Maturino.
Notice that he & Marie came to LA aboard different vessels. Did they know one another in their childhood in Picardy?
Why were Mathurin & his family in New Orleans in early 1797? On business?

According to Robichaux's studies of the Acadian exiles in France, cited above, she & her husband had, between 1763 & 1780, 9 children in France, 4 sons & 5 daughters. Seven of them--all of their sons & 3 of their daughters--died young; only 2 of their daughters survived to marry & create families of their own. On top of that, her husband died on the eve of their going to LA in 1785. Needless to say, she was a long-suffering woman.
Who was the unnamed son with her, her husband, & 2 daughters at Nantes in Sep 1784? A 10th child who died in infancy?

See also Voorhies, J., Some Late Eighteenth Century Louisianians, 501; Robichaux, Bayou Lafourche, 1770-98, 25.
She & her brother Joseph-Marc were the only ones of their parents' 8 children to survive childhood & create families of their own.

She & her husband were living on the southern edge of Baton Rouge district at the time of their marriage in May 1786. Their marriage was recorded at St.-Gabriel because there was no church at Baton Rouge until 1793, so couples in the Baton Rouge district were married by priests either from Pointe Coupée, upriver, or St.-Gabriel, downriver.

Due to so many variations in her age in primary sources, I use the earliest source here, the ship's list from 1758-59, to calculate her estimated birth year.
Did she survive the voyage to LA? There is no debarkation list for Le St.-Rémi unfortunately, so she may not have survived the crossing. If I find evidence that she did not make it to LA, I will remove her from this list.
09. Wall of Names, 28 (pl. 6R), calls him Charles DAIGRE, & lists him with his wife & no children; <perso.orange.fr/froux/St_malo_arrivees/5bateaux.htm>, Family No. 85, reveals that he & his first wife, Anne-Marie VINCENT, had no children when they survived the crossing to St.-Malo in 1758-59; Hébert, D., Acadian Families in Exile 1785, 10-11, calls him Charles D'AIGRE, poulican, age 54, on the embarkation list, Carlos DAIGRE, on the debarkation list, & Charles DAIGLE, pulley maker, age 54, on the complete listing, says he was in the 31st Family aboard Le Bon Papa with his first wife & no children, & details his first marriage but does not give the names of his or his wife's parents; BRDR, 2:116, 213 (SGA-14, 1, #2), the record of his second marriage, calls him Carlos DAIGLE, widower of Ana VINCENT, does not give his or his second wife's parents' names but says that he & his second wife were "all natives of the Parish of the Holy Family [Pigiguit] in Acadia," & gives no witnesses to their marriage.
He & his second wife were in Families No. 31 & 32 aboard Le Bon Papa, so they probably knew one another in France, &, since they were both natives of Ste.-Famille Parish, Pigiguit, may have known one another in Acadia.
10. Wall of Names, 32 (pl. 8L), calls him Charles [DAIGRE], & lists him with his parents & 2 brothers; Hébert, D., Acadian Families in Exile 1785, 26-27, calls him Charles, son [Eustache DAIGRE's] fils, age 13, on the embarkation list, does not include him on the debarkation list, calls him Charles DAIGLE, his [Eustache DAIGLE's] son, age 13, on the complete listing, & says he was in the 67th Family aboard La Bergère with his parents & 2 brothers. See also Robichaux, Acadians in Nantes, 43-44, Family No. 85.

Their marriage was recorded at Pointe Coupée because there was no church at Baton Rouge until 1793, so couples in the Baton Rouge district were married by priests either from Pointe Coupée, upriver, or St.-Gabriel, downriver, until Baton Rouge got its own church.

See also Voorhies, J., Some Late Eighteenth Century Louisianians, 505.
The marriage record of daughter Jeanne in BRDR 2:218 (SGA-14, 15), calls his wife Juanna HOLLET.
Despite what was found in Robichaux, Acadians in Chatellerault, 6, cited above, I have not found AULAI, AULAY, AULET, HOLLET, HOLLEY, or ROLLET in either Arsenault, Généalogie, or White, Dictionnaire Acadiennes. Note the reference in Francois's and Jeanne's marriage record, cited above, which says that her parents were Bourgeois de Cherbourg. I will take this to mean that Thomas HOLLEY & his wife Scholastique LE GENTILHOMME, as well as their daughter Jeanne, were from Cherbourg, not Acadia. Was Thomas HOLLEY an Englishman who settled in France? The name certainly sounds English. All other variations--AULAI, etc.--sound like French corruptions of an English surname.

See also Voorhies, J., Some Late Eighteenth Century Louisianians, 525; Robichaux, Bayou Lafourche, 1770-98, 25.
Note that infant son Jean-René appears on the embarkation list but not on the debarkation list of Le Beaumont, which means the boy probably died on the crossing from France & did not reach LA. The 1788 Spanish report of the Acadians at Fort Bute, Manchac, in Voorhies, J., cited above, seems to verify this sad fact, so I have removed him from this listing.
26. Wall of Names, 32 (pl. 8L), calls him Jean-Baptiste [DAIGRE], & lists him with his widowed father & 7 siblings; Hébert, D., Acadian Families in Exile 1785, 30-31, calls him Jean-Baptiste, son [Olivier DAIGRE's] fils, journallier, age 15, on the embarkation list, Juan Bautista, su [Olivier D'AIGLE's] hijo, on the debarkation list, & Jean-Baptiste DAIGLE, his [Olivier DAIGLE's] son, day laborer, age 15, on the complete listing, & says he was in the 2nd Family aboard Le Beaumont with his widowed father & 7 siblings.

See also Voorhies, J., Some Late Eighteenth Century Louisianians, 501 Robichaux, Bayou Lafourche, 1770-98, 25.
Robichaux's studies of the Acadians in France document 8 children for him & his wife, only 2 of whom survived childhood & went with them to LA. Doubtlessly the Christmas of 1771 at Plouër--when they buried 2 children in 3 days--haunted him & his wife for the rest of their days.
There is no debarkation list for Le St.-Rémi, so we don't know if he & his wife even survived the crossing from France to LA.
28. Wall of Names, 35 (pl. 9L), calls him Jean-Baptiste DAIGRE, & lists him singly; Robichaux, Acadians in Nantes, 43, Family No. 84, details her family's participation in the Leigne-les-bois settlement in Poitou in the early 1770s; Hébert, D., Acadian Families in Exile 1785, 44-45, calls him Jean Bte DAIGRE, marin, age 20, on the embarkation list, & Jean-Baptiste DAIGLE, sailor, age 20, on the complete listing, & says he was in the 13th "Family" aboard Le St.-Rémi with no one else; BRDR, 2:214, 675 (ASC-2, 1), his marriage record, calls him Jean Bautista DAIGLE, does not give his or his wife's parents' names, & says the witnesses to his marriage were Simon SIMONEAUX (probably her brother) & Isabel DEGLE. See also Robichaux, Bayou Lafourche, 1777-98, 23, 67, 155.
The identity of his parents is based on the fact that he & Isabelle-Luce DAIGLE married at the same place on the same day to SIMONEAUX siblings at Ascension. Too bad the priest at Ascension at that time was so negligent in supplying the names of parents in the parish's birth/baptismal, marriage, & death/burial records, or there would be no need for guessing here. Also, in the Ascension census of 1791, Joseph DAIGLE, age 20, was an engagé in Jean-Baptiste's household. See Robichaux, p. 155. This doubtlessly was the Joseph DAIGLE, son of Alexo DAIGLE & Ysabel GRANGER, who married Marie-Marthe TRAHANof Belle-Île-en-Mer, France, daughter of Chrysostôme TRAHAN & Anne-Francoise GRANGER, 27 Oct 1800, at Assumption. See BRDR, 2:214 (ASM-2, 57). So it fits. See, also, the footnote for sister Isabelle-Luce's profile, below.
His siblings crossed on 2 of the earlier Seven Ships of 1785, La Bergère (Isabelle-Luce & Marguerite) & Le Beaumont (Joseph).
How did Jean-Baptiste & Marguerite have 2 daughters whose ages given in the Ascension census of 1788 predate their wedding date? Pre-marital births were rare amongst Acadians, even in hot, steamy south LA. Was he or she married before? She had immigrated to LA in 1766 as an infant, & I have found no record of her having married before 1786. Were the 2 girls--Marie & Louise--orphans whose surnames were not included in the census & not his daughters? See Robichaux, p. 23.
29. Wall of Names, 34 (pl. 8R), calls him Jean-Louis [DAIGRE], & lists him with his widowed mother; Robichaux, Acadians in Chatellerault, 28-29, Family No. 58, his birth/baptismal record, calls him Jean-Louis DAIGLE, godson of Louis-Marie DUBOIS, uncle, & Jeanne DAIGLE, aunt, & details his family's participation in the Leigne-les-bois settlement in Poitou in the early 1770s; Hébert, D., Acadian Families in Exile 1785, 38-39, calls him Jean-Louis, sa [Jn DAIGLE's fils], age 10, on the embarkation list, Juan Luis D'AIGRE, hija de Margarita Angela DUBOI que queda en el Hosp. on the debarkation list, & Jean-Louis DAIGLE, her [Marguerite-Ange DUBOIS's] son, age 10, on the complete listing, & says he was in the 34th Family on the embarkation list & the 35th Family on the debarkation list of Le Beaumont with his widowed mother; BRDR, 2:216, 629-30 (ASM-2, 43), his marriage record, calls him Juan Luis DAIGLY, gives his & his wife's parents' names, says both of the fathers were deceased at the time of the marriage, that his parents were from Poitou, France, her parents from "Roscalf in Britany, France," & that the witnesses to his marriage were Marin GAUTRAUX (his stepfather) & Auguste VERRET. See also Voorhies, J., Some Late Eighteenth Century Louisianians, 524; Robichaux, Bayou Lafourche, 1770-98, 136.

See also Robichaux, Bayou Lafourche, 1770-98, 23, 67, 106, 155.
Judging from the Assumption censuses of 1795 & 1797, he married the neighbors' daughter. How was he kin to Luc LANDRY, with whom he lived in the mid- & late 1790s?
32. Wall of Names, 37 (pl. 9R), calls him Joseph [DAIGLE], & lists him with his parents & a sister; Robichaux, Acadians in St.-Malo, 243-44, Family No. 297, his birth/baptismal record, calls him Joseph-Marc DAIGLE, gives his parents' names, says he was godson of Joseph COUPEAUX & Marguerite DUPUIS, & that his family resided at Plouër from 1763-72; Robichaux, Acadians in Chatellerault, 29, Family No. 59, details his family's participation in the Leigne-les-bois settlement in Poitou in the early 1770s; Robichaux, Acadians in Nantes, 46, Family No. 89, calls him Joseph [DAIGLE], & details the family's participation in the Leigne-les-bois settlement in Poitou in the early 1770s as well as its voyage to LA in 1785; Hébert, D., Acadian Families in Exile 1785, 54-55, calls him Joseph, son [Jean-Bte DAIGLE's] fils, age 11, on the embarkation list, & Joseph DAIGLE, his [Jean-Baptiste DAIGLE's] son, age 11, on the complete listing, & says he was in the 49th Family aboard Le St.-Rémi with his parents & a sister; BRDR, 2:122, 215 (ASM-2, 6 & 7), his marriage record, calls him Joseph DAIGLE, calls his wife Gorsina Victoria BOURQUE, gives his & her parents' names, says his parents were from St.-Malo, France, & her parents were from LaRochelle, France, & that the witnesses to his marriage were Carlos DAIGLE & Pedro BOURQUE (probably her brother). See also Voorhies, J., Some Late Eighteenth Century Louisianians, 501; Robichaux, Bayou Lafourche, 1770-98, 25.
He & his sister Anne-Marie were the only ones of their parents' 8 children to survive childhood & create families of their own.
33. Wall of Names, 32 (pl. 8L), calls him Joseph-Michel [DAIGRE], & lists him with his father, stepmother, & 6 siblings; Hébert, D., Acadian Families in Exile 1785, 30-31, calls him Joseph-Michel, son [Simon DAIGRE's] fils, age 9, on the embarkation list, Josef, su [Simon D'AIGLE's] hijo, on the debarkation list, & Joseph-Michel DAIGLE, his [Simon DAIGLE's] son, age 9, on the complete listing, & says he was in the 1st Family aboard Le Beaumont with his father, stepmother, & 6 siblings.
34. Wall of Names, 33 (pl. 8L), calls him Louis [DAIGLE], & lists him with his parents & 3 sisters; Hébert, D., Acadian Families in Exile 1785, 34-35, calls him Louis, son [Francois DAIGLE's] fils, califat, age 18, on the embarkation list, Luis, su [Franco D'AIGLE's] hijo, on the debarkation list, & Louis DAIGLE, his [Francois DAIGLE's] son, calker, age 18, on the complete listings, says he was in the 16th Family aboard Le Beaumont with his parents & 3 sisters, & that he was born in 1766 but gives no birthplace; BRDR, 2:216, 550 (PCP-19, 35), his marriage record, calls him Louis-Francois DAIGRE of Cherbourg, Normandy, gives his & his wife's parents' names, calls his mother Jeanne HOYEYTE, says his wife was from Poitou, & that the witnesses to his marriage were Joseph VAHAMORNDE & Charles BROUSSARD.
Though his marriage was recorded in the Pointe Coupée church, he probably was married in the Baton Rouge district, where he lived. Baton Rouge did not have its own church until 1793, so priests from Pointe Coupée officiated at baptisms, weddings, & funerals there until it did.
35. Wall of Names, 33 (pl. 8L), calls her Louise [DAIGLE], & lists her with her parents & 3 siblings; Hébert, D., Acadian Families in Exile 1785, 34-35, calls her Louise, sa [Francois DAIGLE's] fille, age 10, on the embarkation list, Luisa, su [Franco D'AIGLE's] hijo, on the debarkation list, & Louise DAIGLE, his [Francois DAIGLE's] daughter, age 10, on the complete listing, & says she was in the 16th Family aboard Le Beaumont with her parents & 3 siblings.
What happened to her?
36. Wall of Names, 31 (pl. 7R), calls her Luce DAIGLE niece au dit [of Joseph BOURG], & lists her with her uncle, aunt, 3 cousins, & sister Margueritte; Hébert, D., Acadians in Exile, 94, her birth/baptismal record, calls her Isabelle-Luce DAIGLE, gives her parents' names, but does not give her godparents' names; Robichaux, Acadians in Nantes, 43, Family No. 84, details her family's participation in the Leigne-les-bois settlement in Poitou in the early 1770s; Hébert, D., Acadian Families in Exile 1785, 24-25, calls her Luce DAIGLE, nièce au dit [Joseph BOURG], age 24, on the embarkation list, does not include her on the debarkation list, calls her Luce DAIGLE, niece of the above [Joseph BOURG], age 24, on the complete listing, & says she was in the 58th Family aboard La Bergère with her uncle, aunt, 3 cousins, & sister Margueritte; BRDR, 2:214, 675 (ASC-2, 1), her marriage record, calls her DAIGLE, does not give her or her husband's parents' names, & says the witness to her marriage was Citang SIMONEAUX; BRDR, 2:214 (ASC-4, 12), her death/burial record, calls her Isabel DAIGLE, age 31 1/2 years, spouse of Petit René SIMONEAUX, but does not give her parents' names.
There is no Isabelle DAIGLE in Wall of Names, but I am certain she is the Luce DAIGLE who is listed in Wall of Names & whose birth date, 20 Jan 1761, fits Isabell
