Acadians Who Found Refuge in Louisiana, February 1764-early 1800s
[AY-bear]
ACADIA
Louis Hébert came to Acadia with Jean de Biencourt, sieur de Poutrincourt et de Saint-Just, one of the founders of the Acadian colony, in the summer of 1606, soon after the French established Port-Royal. Louis was an apothecary and horticulturist from Paris and a relative of Poutrincourt by marriage. When the Acadian colony failed in 1607, Louis returned to France with most of the other men, but he went back to Port-Royal a few years later when Poutrincourt revived the Acadian venture. In 1616, Samuel de Champlain coaxed Louis into moving to Québec with his wife and three children. Champlain granted Louis a three-year contract as resident physician and surgeon at 200 crowns per year with 4 hectares (approximately 10 acres) for a homestead at Québec. The Héberts came to the settlement in 1617. Louis soon learned that the fat salary Champlain had promised him had been cut in half and that after his three-year contract expired he would be expected to work for the company that owned Québec without any compensation. Despite this setback, Louis and his family remained at Québec. They were, in fact, the first permanent settlers in what was then only a fur trading post but which would become the most important French settlement in North America. In 1621, Louis became the King's procurator at Québec and received land along the Rivière St.-Charles near the settlement. He also received the title of Sieur d'Epinay. He and his family became fairly prosperous, but their good fortune was short-lived. In January 1627, Louis fell through the ice and never recovered. He died at Québec later in the month. His survivors remained in Québec, so Louis was not the progenitor of the Héberts of Acadia.
~
The Acadian branch of the Hébert family did not appear until a generation after the death of Louis of Québec. Around 1640, two brothers, Antoine and Étienne Hébert, arrived at Port-Royal. Some authorities claim that Antoine and Étienne were brothers of Jacques Hébert, fils, son of Jacques Hébert, père and Marie Juneau of La-Haye-Descartes, Touraine, France. Jacques, fils's name appears in a notarized marriage contract in Québec in 1688, witnessed by Marie-Guillemette Hébert, a daughter of Acadian and Québec pioneer Louis Hébert. Stephen A. White, pre-eminent Acadian genealogist, has demonstrated, however, that Jacques Hébert, fils of Québec was actually Jacques Habert, which was a different family from the Héberts of Québec and Acadia, so the parentage and birthplace of the Hébert brothers are still unknown.
.
What is known is that Antoine, born in c1621, was a young farmer turned cooper when he came to Port-Royal. He married Geneviève Lefranc at Port-Royal in c1648. They had three children, two sons--Jean, born in c1649, and another Jean, born in 1653--and a daughter, Catherine, born in c1656, who married into the LeBlanc family. Only one son, the second Jean, survived childhood. He married Marie-Anne, daughter of Pierre Doucet, at Port-Royal in c1676. Members of the family were counted at Minas in the early 1690s and at Chignecto in 1713. Jean died probably at Minas in c1707, in his 50s. Marie-Anne died at Grand-Pré in November 1710. Jean and Marie-Anne had 14 children, including eight sons, seven of whom created families of their own. Four of their six daughters married into the LeBlanc, Boudrot, and Saulnier families.
Oldest son Jacques, born at Port-Royal in c1677, married Jeanne, daughter of Claude Gautrot, at Port-Royal in c1703. They settled at Chignecto and had 10 children, including four sons who married into the Arseneau, Bernard, Cyr, and Chiasson families. Their five daughters married into the Arseneau, Bergeron dit de Nantes, Bernard, Bourg, Doucet, and Ricard families.
Pierre dit Laprade or La Pradelle, born at Port-Royal in c1679, married Isabelle, daughter of Antoine Landry, at Port-Royal in c1702. They also settled at Chignecto and had four children, including two sons who married into the Bourg and Gaudet families. Their two daughters married into the Gaudet, Cyr, and Boudrot families. Isabelle died in c1709, and Pierre dit Laprade remarried to Marie-Josèphe, daughter of Jacques Blou, at Chignecto in c1710. This second marriage produced six more children for Pierre dit Laprade, including three sons who married daughters of Jean-Baptiste Poirier and another son who married into the Bourg family. His two daughters by his second wife married into the Thériot and Cormier families. Pierre died probably in the 1750s, on the eve of Le Grand Dérangement.
Jean, fils, born at Port-Royal in c1681, married Marie-Marguerite, another daughter of Antoine Landry, at Port-Royal in c1701. They settled at Cobeguit and had 12 children, including seven sons who married into the Dugas, Bourg, Benoit, Melanson, and Aucoin families. Their five daughters married into the Dugas, Bourg, and Hébert families. Marie-Marguerite died before April 1734, when Jean, fils remarried to Marguerite, daughter of probably Jacques Leprince, at Grand-Pré, but this second marriage produced no more children. Jean, fils died at Cobeguit, date unrecorded. In the late 1740s or early 1750s, his family left Cobeguit for Île St.-Jean, today's Prince Edward Island, to escape British authority in Nova Scotia.
Joseph, born at Port-Royal in November 1685, married Anne-Marie, or Marie-Anne, daughter of Claude Boudrot, at Port-Royal in c1707. They settled at Chignecto and had 12 children, including four sons who married into the Poirier, Cormier, Arseneau, and Bertrand families. Their seven daughters married into the Pothier, Levron, Arseneau, Melanson, Poirier, Babin, Forest, and Daigre families.
René dit Groc, born in c1689 either at Port-Royal or Minas, married Marie, another daughter of Claude Boudrot, at Port-Royal in c1707. They settled at Minas and had 12 children, including eight sons who married into the Doiron, Cyr, Dupuis, Bourg, LeBlanc, Forest, Landry, and Gautrot families. Their three daughters married into the Bourg, LeBlanc, and Dupuis families.
Augustin, born probably at Minas in the early 1690s, married Anne, yet another daughter of Claude Boudrot, at Grand-Pré in September 1712. They remained at Minas and had 10 children, including five sons who married into the Landry, Clouâtre, Poirier, and Dugas families. One of their daughters married into the Landry family.
Youngest son François, born probably at Minas in the late 1690s or early in the 1700s, married Anne, daughter of Michel Bourg, probably at Chignecto in c1726. François died in the early 1760s during Le Grand Dérangement.
.
Meanwhile, Antoine's brother Étienne, whose birth year is unknown, married Marie, daughter of Jean Gaudet, at Port-Royal in c1650. Étienne is not found in the first Acadian census of 1671 because he died a year or two before it was taken. Before he died, he fathered 10 children, including four sons, all born at Port-Royal, who created families of their own. His five daughters married into the Forest, Leprince, Comeau, Pinet, and Barrieau families.
Oldest son Emmanuel, born in c1653, married Andrée, daughter of Vincent Brun and widow of Germain Thériot, at Port-Royal in c1680. They settled at Port-Royal and then moved to Minas. They had six children, including four sons who married into the Dupuis, Dugas, and Landry families. Their daughter married into the Thibodeau family. Emmanuel died at Grand-Pré in late 1744, in his 90s. Some of his descendants used the dit Emmanuel or Manuel to distinguish themselves from their many cousins.
Étienne, fils, born in c1654, married Jeanne, another daughter of Pierre Comeau, at Port-Royal in c1679. They moved to Minas, where they had 11 children, including two sons who married into the Dugas and Granger families. Six of their daughters married into the Henry dit Robert, Caissie, Benoit, Boucher dit Des Roches, Villedieu, and Trahan families. Étienne, fils died at Grand-Pré in November 1713, age 57.
Jean, born in c1659, married Jeanne, daughter of Jean Doiron, in c1692 at either Port-Royal or Minas. They settled at L'Assomption, Pigiguit, and had 12 children, including six sons who married into the Saulnier, Mius d'Azy, Trahan, Courtenay, Boudrot, Lejeune, and Michel families. Four of their daughters married into the Henry dit Le Vieux, Guédry, Lacroix, and Vincent dit Clément families.
Michel, born in c1666, married Isabelle, daughter of François Pellerin, at either Port-Royal or Minas in c1691. They settled at Minas, where they had 16 children, including five sons who married into the Caissie, Gautrot, Boisseau, Levron, Thibodeau, and Boudrot families. Eight of their daughters married into the Le Mordant dit Lanoy, Bourg, Coupiau dit Desaleur, Apart, Gautrot, Richard, Boudrot, Thériot, and Monmellian dit Saint-Germain families. Michel died at Grand-Pré in January 1736, age 69.
Youngest son Antoine, le jeune, born in c1670, married Jeanne, daughter of Jean Corporon, probably at Port-Royal in c1691. They settled at Port-Royal, where they had 15 children, including seven sons who married into the Labauve, Bastarache, Mius d'Azy, Saulnier, Mouton, Hébert, and Comeau families. Seven of their daughters married into the Breau, Duon dit Lyonnais, Maillet, Aubois, Mius d'Azy, Gautrot, and Saulnier families. Antoine remarried to Anne, daughter of Charles Orillon, at Port-Royal in February 1737. They had three children, including a son who married into the Thibodeau and Hébert families. One of their daughters married into the Deveau family. Antoine's oldest son, Louis dit Baguette, participated in the Acadian resistance against British rule during King George's War.
.
By 1755, descendants of Antoine and Étienne Hébert could be found in many of the major Acadian communities, including Port-Royal, which the British called Annapolis Royal; Grand-Pré and Pigiguit in the Minas Basin; at Cobeguit, Chignecto, and Chepoudy; and on Île St.-Jean.
LE GRAND DÉRANGEMENT
Le Grand Dérangement of the 1750s scattered this huge family even farther. ...
LOUISIANA: WESTERN SETTLEMENTS
Héberts were among the earliest Acadians to find refuge in Louisiana. The first of them to reach the colony--an orphan, and a brother and sister--came with the Broussard dit Beausoleil party from Halifax via Cap-Français, St. Dominique, in February 1765. After a short respite in New Orleans, they followed the Broussards to the Attakapas District, where they helped create La Nouvelle-Acadie on the banks of Bayou Teche:
Pierre Hébert, described by the priest who recorded his burial as an orphan "of both father and mother," died at Attakapas in July 1765, probably a victim of the epidemic that swept through the Teche valley that summer and fall. The priest did not record Pierre's age.
Joseph-Pepin Hébert, age 17, and sister Louise, age 11, both orphans, survived the epidemic of 1765 and remained on the Teche, where Louise married Claude, son of Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil, in c1772. Louise died at Attakapas in March 1788; she was only 35 years old. Joseph-Pepin married at Attakapas and created what became a substantial center of family settlement:
Descendants of Joseph-Pepin HÉBERT (c1748-?)
Joseph-Pepin, son of Bénoni Hébert dit Manuel and Jeanne Savoie, born probably at Chignecto in c1748, came to Louisiana from Halifax in 1765 with the Broussard dit Beausoleil party as an orphan with his younger sister. Spanish officials counted him in the "District of the Pointe," probably La Pointe de Répos near present-day Parks on upper Bayou Teche, in April 1766. He married Madeleine, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean Trahan, at Attakapas in April 1771. They settled on the upper Vermilion and had at least five sons, all of whom married, but one of their lines may not have survived. Their daughter married into the Broussard and Duhon families.

They settled first on the river above New Orleans, where Spanish officials counted them at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques in 1766 and 1769. In the 1770s, Joseph dit Pepin followed his widowed mother and his siblings to the Attakapas District, where he and Françoise had more children.

~
The great majority of the Héberts who came to Louisiana from France in 1785 settled on the Acadian Coast or on upper Bayou Lafourche, but a few chose to go directly to the Attakapas District:
Pierre Hébert of Tintamarre, Chignecto, age 45, came to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in August. With him were wife Charlotte Potier, age 44, their infant son Pierre-Joseph, Pierre's 40-year-old unmarried brother Jean-Baptiste, and Pierre's 11-year-old stepdaughter, Anne-Pérrine Patry. From New Orleans, Pierre and Charlotte crossed the Atchafalaya Basin and settled near Carencro. They had no more children in Louisiana. Pierre died at his home at Carencro in February 1818; he was 79 years old. Younger brother Jean-Baptiste never married and died at Attakapas in October 1801, age 56.

.
Only one new family line came of the 1785 arrivals, and it probably did not survive:
Descendants of Pierre-Joseph HÉBERT (1785-?)
Pierre-Joseph, called Joseph, son of Pierre Hébert and Charlotte Potier, born at St.-Martin-de-Chantenay, France, in March 1785, came to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont in 1785 while still an infant. Pierre-Joseph grew up at Carencro, where he married Augustin, called Justine, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean Guilbeau of Carencro, at the bride's home in April 1812. They settled at Carencro. Their daughter married into the Clavel family. The line, except for its blood, probably did not survive.
A child, name unrecorded, perhaps a son, died at birth in August 1820 and was buried at nearby Grand Coteau, St. Landry Parish.
~
Beginning in the late colonial and continuing well into antebellum period, other Acadian Héberts who had immigrated from France, or their descendants, moved from the river or from upper Bayou Lafourche to the western prairies and added many new lines to that center of family settlement:
Marguerite Sophie Hébert, sister of Joseph Marie and Charles, died in Lafayette Parish in November 1833. She was only 51 years old and may not have married.
Marie, perhaps Marie Rose, Hébert, widow of Pierre Jean Joseph Joachim Lebert of Beaubassin on upper Bayou Vermilion, died perhaps at Beaubassin in September 1844. The Grand Coteau priest who recorded her burial, and who did not bother to give any parents' names or even mention a husband, said that Marie died "at age 67 yrs." This would have been Marie Rose's age exactly.
Descendants of Pierre-Joseph HÉBERT (1769-early 1800s)

He died near Grand Coteau, St. Landry Parish, in August 1824; he was only 42 years old.
Descendants of Jean-Baptiste HÉBERT (1786-c1820s)
Jean-Baptiste, eldest son of Jean-Pierre Hébert and his second wife Anne-Dorothée Doiron, born near St.-Gabriel in December 1786, married cousin Anne Mélanie, called Mélanie, daughter of fellow Acadian Alexandre Landry, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in September 1808; Mélanie's mother was an Hébert. Their daughters married into the Hébert and Rivet families and settled on the river. Jean-Baptiste moved his family from St. Gabriel to St. Landry Parish in the 1820s. An estate record for Jean Baptiste Hébert, husband of Mélanie Landry, was filed at the Opelousas courthouse, St. Landry Parish, in January 1820; it listed his heirs as Joseph Valsin, age 4, and Marie Mélanie, age 2. One wonders if this was simply a filing of a will with the wrong date on it; Joseph Valsin was born in March 1821, so he would not have turned 4 until 1825. Jean Baptiste, père's succession records (there were two of them) were filed at the Opelousas courthouse in May 1839; one succession record states that Jean Baptiste's widow, Mélanie Landry, remarried to Alexandre Lanclos in 1831; the other succession record states that Jean Baptiste's heirs were sons Valcin and Jean Baptiste, fils and daughter Mélanie.

They settled in St. Martin Parish by the early 1830s. Élie died near New Iberia, then in St. Martin but now in Iberia Parish, in August 1844; the priest who recorded the burial, and who did not bother to give any parents' names or even mention a wife, said that Élie died "at age 40 yrs.," but he was 42.

Other HÉBERTs on the Western Prairies
Area church and civil records make it difficult to link many Héberts in the western parishes with known Acadian lines of the family there. The priests at Grand Coteau were especially negligent in their recordkeeping. One suspects that some of the Héberts in this list were French Creoles, not Acadians:
Céleste Hébert married Jean Baptiste dit Petit, son of Jean Broussard, at Attakapas in October 1793. The priest who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names. Céleste Hébert, wife or widow of Jean Baptiste Broussard, died in Lafayette Parish in June 1847; the Vermilionville priest who recorded the burial, and who did not give any parents' names, said that Céleste died "at age 60 yrs.," but, judging by her marriage date, if this was her, she probably was in her 70s when she died. Who was her father? If she was an Acadian immigrant, when did she come to the colony?
Charles Hébert married Anglo Creole Émilie Hayes probably in Lafayette Parish in the late 1820s. Their son Jean Louis was born in Lafayette Parish in March 1827 but died at age 11 months in February 1828, and Pierre was born in St. Landry Parish in March 1836.
Rosalie Hébert married Anglo American Robert C. Trimble in a civil ceremony in St. Mary Parish in January 1831. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names. Two of their sons served in Company I of the 3rd (Harrison's) Regiment Louisiana Cavalry during the War Between the States.
Louis Hébert married Marie Mire and settled in Lafayette Parish by the early 1830s.
Madeleine, daughter of Joseph Hébert, married Joseph Nunez of Galicia, Spain, widower of Marie Rose Richard, at the Vermilionville church, Lafayette Parish, in January 1834. The priest who recorded the marriage did not give Madeleine's mother's name, so one wonders which Joseph Hébert was her father.
Adélaïde Hébert, widow of Jean Boullé, remarried to Acadian Pierre Trahan in a civil ceremony in Lafayette Parish in December 1834. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names. Adélaïde remarried again--evidently her third marriage--to Simonet, son of Acadian Raphaël Granger, in a civil ceremony in Lafayette Parish in June 1838. Again, the parish clerk did not give her parents' names.
Angeline, daughter of ____ Hébert and Phelonise Hébert, married François Rosémond, son of Acadian Joseph Boudreaux, at the Vermilionville church, Lafayette Parish, in March 1837. The priest who recorded her marriage did not give Angeline's father's first name. Angeline died the following December. She was only 18 years old. The Vermilionville priest who recorded her burial did not bother to give any of her parents' names.
Joseph, fils, son of Joseph Hébert, married French Creole Céleste Félice Peloquin in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in October 1838. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names. One wonders if these Joseph Héberts were Acadian.
Joseph Hébert, fils, also called Lasty, fils, married Lucy Paula, called Paula, Augustine or Augustin in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in November 1838. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names. Their son Dorcili was born in St. Landry Parish in June 1844. Was Joseph/Lasty Acadian?
Valcin, probably Valsin, Hébert married Azéma Guidry in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in September 1839. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names. Was Valsin Acadian?
Joseph Hébert's succession record was filed at the Opelousas courthouse, St. Landry Parish, in March 1840. The parish clerk who recorded the succession did not give Joseph's parents' names, mention a wife, or give his age at the time of the filing.
Joseph Hébert married Marie Victoire Miller in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in June 1840. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names. Was Joseph Acadian?
Placide Hébert married Marie Doralise Duhon. Their son Jean Alcide was born in Lafayette Parish in August 1840.
Placide Hébert married Ameline Richard and settled in St. Landry Parish by the early 1840s.
Fleurnoy, also called P. Flernau, Hébert married French Creole Émilie or Amelie Augustin Charles Fontenot in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in January 1841. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names. Their son Joseph Flernau, perhaps Fleurnoy, was born near Grand Coteau, St. Landry Parish, in November 1842. Fleurnoy, called Flamoy by the recording clerk, may have remarried to Azélie Jeanson, perhaps an Acadian, in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in January 1846. Again, the parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names.
Jean Baptiste Hébert married German Creole Marie Madeleine Zeringue in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in December 1842, and sanctified the marriage at the Grand Coteau church, St. Landry Parish, in January. Neither the parish clerk nor the priest who recorded the marriage gave the couple's parents' names.
Joseph Hébert married Anglo Creole Mélanie Andrus in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in January 1845. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names. Was Joseph Acadian?
Clémence Hébert married Spanish Creole Louis Miguez. Her succession record was filed at the St. Martinville courthouse, St. Martin Parish, in April 1845. Who was her father?
Joséphine A. Hébert married Anglo American Zenon Reed in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in July 1847. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names. Was Joséphine Acadian?
LOUISIANA: RIVER SETTLEMENTS
Some of the Héberts who came to Louisiana from Halifax via Cap-Français, St.-Domingue, in 1765 did not settle on the western prairies, at least not until later. They went, instead, to Cabanocé/St.-Jacques on the river above New Orleans where 20 Acadians from Georgia had settled the year before:
Claire Robichaud, age 52, widow of Jean-Baptiste Hébert dit Manuel, came to the colony with four children--Marie-Blanche, age unrecorded, Marie-Théotiste, age 15, Théotiste-Marie, age 12, and Mathurin, age 11--and 2-year-old grandson Jean-Louis Hébert. Claire did not remarry. She moved to the Attakapas District in the 1770s. Her children and grandson followed her there.
Joseph dit Pepin Hébert, age 26, Claire Robichaud's older son, and his wife and cousin Françoise Hébert, age 20, came with son Louis, age 1, and 14-year-old orphan Jean-Charles Hébert. In the early 1770s, they followed Joseph dit Pepin's mother and siblings to the Attakapas District.
Agnès Hébert dit Manuel, age 23, another daughter of Claire Robichaud and widow of ____ Bourgeois, may have come to the colony with her mother and unmarried siblings or with second husband Joseph Richard and two children. They remained on the river, where Agnès may have died in the early 1770s, before her family moved on to the Attakapas District.
François Hébert, age 30, still a bachelor, came with brothers Joseph, also age 30 and probably a widower, and Pierre, age 28, also still a bachelor. They remained on the river and created a new center of family settlement on what became known as the Acadian Coast.
Descendants of François HÉBERT (c1735-1798)
François, eldest son of Joseph Hébert and Anne-Marie Poirier, born probably at Chignecto in c1735, escaped the roundup of the Chignecto Acadians in 1755 and found refuge on the Gulf of St. Lawrence shore. During the early 1760s, he probably spent time as a prisoner of war in one of the Nova Scotia compounds. Still a bachelor, he came to Louisiana from Halifax via St.-Domingue in 1765 with his younger brothers and settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, where, in the late 1760s, he married a woman whose name has been lost to history. François remarried to Madeleine, daughter of fellow Acadian Claude Trahan, at St.-Jacques in January 1771. François remarried again--his third marriage--to Osite, daughter of fellow Acadian Paul Landry and widow of Pierre Chiasson, at St.-Jacques in November 1794. All of his children were from his second wife. François died at St.-Jacques in November 1798; the priest who recorded his burial said that François was 70 years old when he died, but he was closer to 63. One of his two sons married and settled in what became St. James Parish.

Older son Charles, by his second wife, baptized at St.-Jacques in February 1772, married cousin Marguerite, daughter of Michel Poirier, at St.-Jacques in May 1792. Their son Charles-Joseph, called Joseph le jeune was born at St.-Jacques in March 1794, Jean-Baptiste in March 1796 but died at age 1 1/2 in August 1797, and Étienne was born in December 1801. Their daughters married into the Gaudin family. Charles died at St.-Jacques in May 1803; the priest who recorded his burial said that Charles was 45 years old when he died, but he was only 31.
1a
Joseph le jeune married Arthémise, daughter of fellow Acadian Michel Gaudet, at the St. James church, St. James Parish, in June 1821. Their son Joseph Alphée or Elphége, called Elphége, was born in St. James Parish in April 1822, Michel Théophile, called Théophile, near Convent in September 1827, Charles Euphémon in November 1832, Paulin Oscar in October 1837 but died at age 4 in October 1841, and a son, name unrecorded, died at age 11 months in June 1840. Joseph may have died near Convent in October 1842; the priest who recorded his burial, and who did not bother to give any parents' names or even mention a wife, said that Joseph died at "age 45 yrs.," but this Joseph would have been 48.
Elphége married Aglae, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph Mire, at the Convent church, St. James Parish, in July 1843. The lived near the boundary of St. James and Iberville parishes. ...
Théophile married Emma, daughter of French Creole Evariste Blouin, at the St. James church, St. James Parish, in June 1847; Emma's mother was an Arceneaux. ...

Younger son Joseph, by his second wife, baptized at St.-Jacques in March 1776, may have died young.
Descendants of Joseph HÉBERT (c1735-)
Joseph, second son of Joseph Hébert and Anne-Marie Poirier, born probably at Chignecto in c1735, came to Louisiana from Halifax via St.-Domingue in 1765 with his brothers and settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, probably as a widower. His first wife's name has been lost to history. He remarried to fellow Acadian Anne Préjean, widow of Joseph Savoie, at Cabanocé, in December 1767. All of his children were from his second wife. One of his two sons married and settled in what became St. James Parish.

Older son Paul, by his second wife, born at St.-Jacques in c1769, married Anastasie, also called Théotiste, daughter of fellow Acadian Marin Landry, at St.-Jacques in June 1790. Their son Paul, fils was born at St.-Jacques in May 1800, Éloi in August 1803, a son, name and age unrecorded, died at St.-Jacques in September 1805, Adolphe was born in November 1806, and Evariste in January 1809 but died at age 6 in December 1815. Their daughters married into the Gaudin and Lalande families. Paul, père remarried to German Creole Charlotte Trosclair probably in St. James Parish in c1810. Their son Paul le jeune was born in St. James Parish in August 1811. Paul, père may have died in St. James Parish in October 1814, in his late 40s, or he may have been the Paul Hébert who died in St. James Parish in May 1825, age 55.

Paul, fils died in St. James Parish in July 1819. He was only 19 years old and did not marry.
1b

Their son Éloi, fils was born in St. James Parish in February 1829, Paul Orestile in August 1831, Jean Baptiste Camille near Convent, St. James Parish, in September 1834, and Joseph Édouard Clément in December 1840. Their daughter married a Mire cousin. Éloi, père died "at his home" in St. James Parish in September 1846; the St. James priest who recorded his burial, and who did not bother to give any parents' names or even the name of his wife, said that Éloy died at "age 40 yrs.," but he was 43.
2
Younger son Jean-Baptiste, by his second wife, baptized at St.-Jacques, age unrecorded, in October 1770, may have died young.
Descendants of Pierre HÉBERT (c1737-)
Pierre, youngest son of Joseph Hébert and Anne-Marie Poirier, born probably at Chignecto in c1737, came to Louisiana from Halifax via St.-Domingue in 1765 with his brothers and settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, where he married Anne-Marie, called Marie, daughter of fellow Acadian Michel Bergeron of Rivière St.-Jean, in July 1767. In September 1769, they lived on the left, or east, bank of the river at Cabanocé. By March 1777, they had moved upriver to St.-Gabriel. Their daughter married into the Migott family. None of their sons created families of their own, so, except for its blood, this line of the family probably did not survive.
1
Oldest son François le jeune, born probably at Cabanocé in c1768, probably died young.
2
A son, name unrecorded, born at either St.-Jacques or St.-Gabriel in c1773, probably died young.
3
Another son, name unrecorded, born probably at St.-Gabriel in 1776, probably died young.
~
More Acadians settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques in 1766, the first contingent of exiles from Maryland to reach Louisiana. Two Héberts, a widow and a wife, were among them:
Osite Hébert, age 35, second wife and widow of Alexandre Melanson, came to the colony in September 1766 with six children, ages 17 to infant. Osite remarried to Augustin, son of fellow Acadian Pierre Boudreaux, at St.-Jacques in January 1771. She died in St. James Parish in September 1805, age 75, a widow again.
Geneviève Hébert, age 40, came to New Orleans in October 1766 with husband, Étienne-Michel David of Louisbourg, Île Royale, age 42, and eight children, ages 22 to 1. They, too, had suffered exile in Maryland, but they did not come to Louisiana with the other Acadians who sailed to the colony that year; this family, in fact, had the wherewithal to take a separate vessel and pay their own passage. They settled at first in New Orleans, where Étienne plied his trade as a skilled blacksmith, but by the late 1770s they had moved to St.-Jacques, where most of their children remained.
~
More Hébert families--nine of them, one headed by a widow and two by widowers, and two Hébert wives, 35 members of the family in all--came to Louisiana from exile in Maryland in the summer of 1767. These were Héberts from the Minas Basin whom the British had deported to Maryland in the fall of 1755. They had endured life in that colony for a dozen years before boarding a ship at Baltimore in April 1767 and reaching New Orleans three months later. Like other 1767 arrivals, they would have preferred to join their fellow Acadians at Cabanocé, where a contingent of Maryland Acadians had gone in late 1766, but Spanish governor Ulloa insisted that they settle in a new Acadian community, St.-Gabriel d'Iberville, on the river above Cabanocé. Communication between St.-Gabriel and Cabanocé was easy via the river, so this second contingent of Maryland arrivals acquiesced into going to the new settlement. As a result, the Héberts from Maryland created many new family lines on the Acadian Coast:
François Hébert, père, age 57, a widower, brought with him six unmarried children--Jean-Baptiste dit Petit-Jean, age 25, Étienne, age 23, Pierre-Caieton, age 20, Joseph, age 18, Charles, age 16, and Madeleine, age 14.
Alexandre Hébert, age 31, François's oldest son, came with wife Anne Landry, age 27. They brought no children with them and had none in Louisiana. Alexandre remarried to Marie-Jeanne, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph Thibodeaux, at St.-Gabriel in January 1789. They did not remain on the river.
François Hébert, fils, age 29, François's second son, came with wife Marie-Josèphe LeBlanc, age 25, and two sons--Charles, age 4, and Jean-Baptiste, age 3. They had more children, including sons, in Louisiana and remained on the river.
Amand Hébert, age 27, François's third son, came with wife Marie-Claire Landry, age 22. They brought no children with them but had many in Louisiana. They also remained on the river.
Paul Hébert, age 55, came with wife Marguerite-Josèphe Melanson, age 49, seven children--Anne-Marie, age 22, Ignace le jeune, age 20, Marie, age 18, Jean-Baptiste, age 17, Amand, age 13, Marguerite, age 7, Paul, fils, age 3--and orphan Marie Blanchard, age 13. Their daughters married into the Bruneteau, Dupuis, Guidry, and Morin families. Paul died at St.-Gabriel in July 1805; he was 93 years old. Daughter Marguerite may not have married and may have died in Assumption Parish, on upper Bayou Lafourche, in December 1846, age 86. Paul's sons remained on the river, and two of his great-grandsons became important men. Paul Octave Hébert of Iberville Parish served as governor of Louisiana during the early 1850s, and, along with first cousin Louis Hébert, also of Iberville Parish, rose to the rank of brigadier general during the War Between the States.
Pierre-Paul Hébert, age 29, Paul's oldest son, came with wife Marguerite LeBlanc, age 23, and three children--Charles, age 5, Marianne, age 3, and infant Marguerite. They remained on the river.
Joseph Hébert, age 27, Paul's second son, came with wife Anne Landry, age 27, and their infant daughter Anne. They remained on the river.
Ignace Hébert, age 43, Paul's younger brother and a widower, came with two children--Jean-Baptiste, age 14, and Marie, age 5. Ignace remarried to Rosalie, daughter of fellow Acadian Paul Babin and widow of Joseph Babin, at St.-Gabriel in January 1773, but had no more children by her. Ignace died at St.-Gabriel in November 1783, a few days short of his 59th birthday.
Geneviève Babin, age 43, widow of Amand Hébert, who died on the voyage from Baltimore to New Orleans, brought four children with her--Geneviève, age 22, Marie-Josèphe, age 18, Charles, age 15, and Marguerite, age 6. Her daughters married into the André or Andro, Derouen, Foret, Jeannot, and Landry families, and two of them settled on the western prairies. Her son may not have married.
Catherine Hébert, age 39, came with husband Pierre Allain, age 44, and five children, ages 16 to infancy.
Marie-Madeleine, called Madeleine, Hébert, age 24, came with husband Athanase Landry, age 25. Their children were born in Louisiana. Marie-Madeleine died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in October 1815, in her early 70s.
Descendants of Alexandre HÉBERT (1735-1810s?)
Alexandre, elder son of François Hébert, père and Marie-Josèphe Melanson, born at Grand-Pré in December 1735, was exiled to Maryland in 1755. Colonial officials counted him with his family at Georgetown or Frederick, on Maryland's upper Eastern Shore, in July 1763. Alexandre married fellow Acadian Anne Landry in Maryland, came to Louisiana in 1767, and settled at St.-Gabriel. Anne seems to have given him no children. In January 1789, when he was 53 years old, Alexandre remarried to Marie-Jeanne, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph Thibodeaux, at St.-Gabriel and moved to the Attakapas District, where his children were born. Alexandre then moved to Assumption on upper Bayou Lafourche probably in the late 1790s, where he died by 1814. One of his daughters remained in the Attakapas District and married into the Pomier family.
Jean-Baptiste, born at Attakapas in October 1789, died at Assumption in June 1801. He was only 11 years old and his father's only son, so this line of the family, except for its blood, did not survive.
Descendants of François HÉBERT, fils (c1738-)
François, fils, second son of François Hébert, père and Marie-Josèphe Melanson, born at Grand-Pré in June 1738, came to Louisiana in 1767 with his wife Marie-Josèphe LeBlanc, whom he had married in Maryland in c1762. With them were two sons, Charles and Jean-Baptiste. They had more children at St.-Gabriel. Their daughter married into the Landry and Simoneaux families.

Charles, sole surviving son of Amand Hébert and Geneviève Babin, born at Grand-Pré in c1752, came to Louisiana from Maryland in 1767 with his widowed mother and sisters.

Jean-Baptiste HÉBERT (c1753-)
Jean-Baptiste, only surviving son of Ignace Hébert and his first wife Marie LeBlanc, born probably at Grand-Pré in c1753, came to Louisiana from Maryland in 1767 with his widowed father and a sister. His father remarried in Louisiana but had no more children, so Jean-Baptiste was his only male heir. When Spanish officials counted Jean-Baptiste at St.-Gabriel in March 1777 with his father and stepmother, the census taker noted that Jean-Baptiste was 18 years old, but he probably was 23. Jean-Baptiste may have devoted his life to taking care of his elderly father and stepmother and may not have married, ending this line of the family.

The arrival date of an Acadian Hébert who settled on the Mississippi in the 1770s is difficult to determine:
Descendants of Prosper-Sébastien HÉBERT (c1748-)
Prosper-Sébastien, called Sébastien and Jacques-Prosper, son of Pierre Hébert and Isabelle Cormier, born probably at Chignecto in c1748, came to Louisiana by April 1773, when he married Marie, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean-Baptiste Dupuis, at St.-Jacques on the river; their marriage also was recorded at nearby Ascension in May 1773. In April 1777, Prosper and Marie held seven arpents on the left, or east, bank of the river at Ascension and owned a single slave, but they had no children, so their oldest son must have died in childhood. They had more sons in the decades that followed, most of whom created families of their own. Their daughter married an Hébert cousin. Three of Sébastien's five sons married, but, except for the blood, all of their lines may have died out.
1

Their daughters married into the Hébert and Henderson families. If he and his wife had only the one son, this line of the family, except for its blood, did not survive.
4

More Héberts came to Louisiana on every one of the Seven Ships from France in the summer and fall of 1785. There were more Héberts on the rolls of that expedition, in fact, than any other family These were Héberts from Minas whom the British had exiled to Virginia in the fall of 1755, had deported to England the following year, and repatriated to France in 1763; and also Héberts from Pigiguit, Cobeguit, and Île St.-Jean whom the British had deported from the Maritime islands directly to France in 1758. After enduring the indignities of life in the mother country for a quarter of a century, they took up the Spanish government's offer to start a new life in Louisiana. Some of them chose to settle on the river, but not all of them stayed there:
François Hébert of Cobeguit, age 72, a widower, crossed on Le Bon Papa, the first of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in July. He followed the majority of the passengers from his ship to Manchac, south of Baton Rouge. François died there in May 1787 less than two years after he reached the colony.
Ursule Hébert, age 43, François's daughter, crossed on Le Bon Papa with husband Alexandre Doiron and six children, ages 21 to 2. They also settled at Manchac.
Thérèse Hébert, age 38, another of François's daughters, crossed on Le Bon Papa with husband Jean LeBlanc and a daughter, age 1 1/2. They also went to Manchac.
Amable Hébert, age 43, a widower, crossed on Le Bon Papa with four children--Marie-Modeste, age 22, Geneviève, age 17, Élisabeth or Isabelle, age 14, and André, age 9--and his stepmother, Englishwoman Esther Courtney, age 60. Two of his daughters married into the Duplantre and Landry families and remained on the river. In the late 1780s or early 1790s, Amable, his son, and his middle daughter moved to upper Bayou Lafourche, where Amable lived into his 70s. He did not remarry.
Brigitte-Josèphe Hébert, age 19, Amable's married daughter, crossed on Le Bon Papa with husband Charles-Jean LeBlanc, age 23, and no children. They followed her father to upper Bayou Lafourche by the early 1790s. She and her family were living in New Orleans later in the decade, but they, or at least she, must have moved downriver during the antebellum period. Brigitte died in Iberville Parish in October 1844; the St. Gabriel priest who recorded her burial, and who called her Bergique Joséphine, said that she died at "age 86 yrs." and was buried in St. Raphaël cemetery, which was on the west bank of the river; she was "only" 79.
.
Anne Benoit, age 48, widow of Jean-Baptiste Hébert, crossed on Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in August. With her was her 13-year-old son Jean-Charles. They remained at Manchac.
Jean-Pierre Hébert, age 32, second wife Anne-Dorothée Doiron, age 24, and their infant daughter Anne-Marguerite, crossed on Le Beaumont and settled at Manchac, where more children were born to them.
.
Joseph Hébert, age 50, crossed on La Ville d'Archangel, the sixth of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in December. With him were second wife Marguerite Daigle, age 45, and five children--Marie-Josèphe, age 18, Pierre-Jean, age 17, Joseph's stepdaughter Marguerite-Marie Richard, age 16, Thérèse-Anne, age 12, and infant son Jean-Pierre. After a brief respite in the city, they followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to the new Acadian community of Bayou des Écores, north of Baton Rouge. Most, if not all, of them abandoned the community by the 1790s and moved on to other river settlements or to upper Bayou Lafourche. Joseph and Marguerite remained on the river.
Pierre Hébert, age 50, crossed on La Ville d'Archangel with second wife Susanne Pitre, age 55, and seven children--Pierre's unmarried stepdaughter Marguerite-Josèphe Henry, age 35, Marie-Josèphe, age 24, Pierre-Jean, age 22, François-Étienne, age 18, Joseph-Yves, age 15, Mathurin-Pierre-François, age 13, and Jean-Baptiste-Olivier, age 11. Son François-Étienne married a fellow passenger at New Orleans soon after they reached the colony and followed the family to Bayou des Écores. Daughter Marie-Josèphe married into the Aucoin family. Pierre, Susanne, and their daughter may have remained on the river, but Pierre's sons settled on the upper Lafourche.
Joseph Hébert, age 45, crossed on La Ville d'Archangel with wife Marie-Madeleine Aucoin, age 44, and two daughters--Marie, age 17, and Victoire, age 14. They probably remained on the river.
François Hébert, age unrecorded, may have crossed on La Ville d'Archangel alone. He died at Baton Rouge in June 1801, age 56. The priest who recorded his burial did not bother to give his parents' names nor mention a wife.
.
Ambroise Hébert, age 54, wife Félicité Lejeune, age 42, their daughter Gertrude-Anne, age 16, and niece Anne-Angélique Gautrot, age 21, crossed on La Caroline, the last of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in December. They went to the Isleños settlement of Nueva Gálvez, also called San Bernardo, in present-day St. Bernard Parish, on the river below New Orleans. Ambroise may have died at San Bernardo or at New Orleans in the late 1780s, or he may have joined his cousins on upper Bayou Lafourche.
.
By the mid-1790s, many of the Héberts from France who had gone to river communities had moved on to upper Bayou Lafourche, but some remained on the river and settled among their many cousins already there:

Joseph, son of François Hébert and Élisabeth Bourg of Cobeguit, born probably at Cobeguit in c1740, came to Louisiana aboard La Ville d'Archangel, the sixth of the Seven Ships, in 1785 with wife Marie-Madeleine Aucoin and two teenaged daughters; Marie-Madeleine's mother was an Hébert, so she and Joseph were cousins. They followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to Bayou des Écores, north of Baton Rouge. Joseph does not seem to have fathered any sons, so this line of the family, except perhaps for its blood, died with him.
François HÉBERT (1745?-1801?)
François Hébert, born in Acadia perhaps in 1745, came to Louisiana alone aboard La Ville d'Archangel, the sixth of the Seven Ships, in 1785 perhaps as a stowaway. He followed the majority of the passengers from his ship to Bayou des Écores, north of Baton Rouge, and may have been the François Hébert who died near Baton Rouge in June 1801, age 56. The priest who recorded his burial did not bother to give Francois's parents' names or mention a wife.
Descendants of Jean-Pierre HÉBERT, fils (c1754-?)
Jean-Pierre, fils, son of Jean-Pierre Hébert, père and Anne Benoit, born in Acadia in c1754, came to Louisiana with his second wife, fellow Acadian Anne-Dorothée Doiron, whom he had married at Paimboeuf, France, near Nantes, in March 1784, and an infant daughter, aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships, in 1785. They followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to the Manchac/Baton Rouge area, where more of their children, including a number of sons, were born. Their daughters married into the Braud, Dupuis, and Lopez families. ...

Oldest son Jean-Baptiste, born at Manchac in December 1786, married cousin Anne Mélanie, called Mélanie, daughter of fellow Acadian Alexandre Landry, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in September 1808; Mélanie's mother was an Hébert. Their son Eugène was born near St. Gabriel in January 1814, Jean Baptiste, fils in December 1816, Valéry in December 1818, and Wassain Joseph in March 1821. Their daughters married into the Hébert and Rivet families. Jean-Baptiste seems to have moved his family to the western prairies in the 1820s.

Antoine-Anne, born at Manchac in January 1789, may have died young.
3
Isaac, born at Manchac in June 1792, died at age 13 in November 1805.

Their son Jean Baptiste Amédée was born near Baton Rouge in December 1832, and Sosthène in October 1835. Their daughter married an Hébert cousin. ...
Descendants of Pierre-Jean HÉBERT (1768-1807)
Pierre-Jean, son of Joseph Hébert and his first wife Françoise Comeau, and older half-brother of Jean-Pierre, was born at St.-Servan, France, near St.-Malo, in June 1768. He came to Louisiana with his father, stepmother, and siblings aboard La Ville d'Archangel, the sixth of the Seven Ships, in 1785 and followed them to Bayou des Écores, north of Baton Rouge, where Pierre-Jean married Marguerite-Olive, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean Longuépée, in November 1791. Marguerite also had come to Louisiana aboard La Ville d'Archangel. After the Acadians abandoned Bayou des Écores in the late 1780s and early 1790s, Pierre-Jean and Marguerite settled near St.-Gabriel on the river below Baton Rouge. Pierre-Jean, called Jean-Pierre by the priest who recorded his burial, died near St. Gabriel in May 1807; he was only 39 years old.
1
Oldest son Pierre-Cyrille, called Cyrille, baptized at Baton Rouge, age unrecorded, in April 1794, married Marie Constance, called Constance, daughter of fellow Acadian François Landry, at the Donaldsonville church, Ascension Parish, in April or August 1816. Their son Cyrille, fils died in Ascension Parish, age 2 months, in February or March 1818, Pierre Timoléon was born near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in October 1821, and Pierre Valéry, a twin, in December 1825 but died at age 6 months in June 1826. Pierre Cyrille remarried to Marie Hélène, called Hélène, daughter of fellow Acadian Jacques Guidry and widow of Sébastien Frederick and his youngest brother Urbin, at the St. Gabriel church in November 1838; they had to secure a dispensation for first degree of affinity in order to marry. Pierre Cyrille died near St. Gabriel in December 1840; the priest who recorded his burial, and who did not bother to give any parents' names or even mention a wife, said that Pierre Cyrille died at "age 40 yrs.," but he was may have been a few years older than that.
Pierre Timoléon, by his first wife, married cousin Marie Gertrude, called Gertrude, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph Raphaël Landry, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in June 1842. Their son Pierre Hermogène was born near St. Gabriel in January 1846. ...

Zenon, born near St.-Gabriel in June 1800, married Marie Louise, called Louise, daughter of French Creole Guillaume Germain Dubeau, Dubois, or Dubourg and widow of Célestin Morales, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in August 1824; Marie Louise's mother was a LeBlanc. Their son Louis Zenon was born near St. Gabriel in May 1831, Guillaume in October 1834, and a newborn infant, name unrecorded, perhaps a son, died in August 1839. Zenon died near St. Gabriel in May 1841; the priest who recorded his burial, and who did not bother to give any parents' names or even mention a wife, said that Zenon died at "age 37-40 yrs."; he was a month shy of 41.
4

Urbin died by November 1838, when his widow remarried to his oldest brother Cyrille. ...
Jean-Pierre HÉBERT (1785-?)
Jean-Pierre, son of Joseph Hébert and his second wife Marguerite Daigle, and younger half-brother of Pierre-Jean, was born probably at St.-Malo, France, in February 1785. He came to Louisiana with his parents and siblings aboard La Ville d'Archangel, the sixth of the Seven Ships, in 1785 and followed them to Bayou des Écores, north of Baton Rouge. Jean-Pierre may have died young.
Descendants of Jean-Charles HÉBERT (1772-1812)
Jean-Charles, son of Jean-Baptiste Hébert and his second wife Anne Benoit, born at Locmaria, Belle-Île-en-Mer, France, in January 1772, came to Louisiana with his widowed mother aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships, in 1785. They followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to the Manchac/Baton Rouge, where Jean-Charles married Marie-Françoise, called Françoise, daughter of fellow Acadian Augustin Landry, in May 1803. Marie-Franéoise was a native of Louisiana. Jean-Charles remarried to Martine, daughter of fellow Acadian Honoré Braud, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in May 1809. Martine had been born aboard Le St.-Rémi when her family crossed to Louisiana in 1785. Their daughter married into the Melançon family. Jean-Charles died at St.-Gabriel in October 1812; he was only 40 years old. His only son died an infant, so this line of the family, except for its blood, did not survive in the Bayou State.
Joseph Joachim, by his first wife, born at Manchac in March 1804, died at age 7 months the following December.
~
The arrival date of an Hébert who settled on the river during the late 1780s is difficult to determine:
Descendants of Paul-Hippolyte HÉBERT (c1761-)
Paul-Hippolyte, sometimes called Hippolyte, son of Amand Hébert and Françoise Gautrot of Grand-Pré, was born probably in Connecticut in c1761. After the French and Indian War finally ended, his parents settled at La-Prairie-de-la-Magdeleine, on the St. Lawrence River above Québec, where Hippolyte was baptized in September 1768, but he did not remain there. He came to Louisiana via St.-Louis, Missouri, by February 1790, when he married Anne-Marie, called Marie, daughter of fellow Acadian Pierre Michel, at St.-Jacques. He was one of the few Acadians who came to Louisiana via the upper Mississippi. Their daughters married into the Desormeaux and Pertuit families. Neither of his sons seems to have married, so this line of the family, except for its blood, did not survive in the Bayou State.
1
Older son Paul-Eugène, born at St.-Jacques in December 1799, died near Convent, St. James Parish, in February 1828. The priest who recorded his burial said that Paul was "about 26 yrs." old when he died, but he was 28. He probably did not marry.
2
A younger son, name unrecorded, "recently born," was buried at St-Jacques in September 1802.
~
In a reversal of the usual Acadian settlement pattern, Héberts from upper Bayou Lafourche settled on the river in West Baton Rouge and Ascension parishes during the antebellum period:
Descendants of Cronias HÉBERT (1797-)
Cromace, Crama, or Cronias, third son of Isaac Hébert and Marie-Marguerite Daigle, baptized at Assumption, age unrecorded, in August 1797, married cousin Marguerite Uranie, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean Baptiste Doiron of West Baton Rouge Parish, at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in February 1831; Marguerite's mother was an Hébert. They settled in West Baton Rouge Parish.

Other HÉBERTs on the River
Area church and civil records make it difficult to link many Héberts on the river with known Acadian lines of the family there. The priests at St. Gabriel, Baton Rouge, and Ascension were especially negligent in their recordkeeping:
Jean Baptiste, fils, son of Jean Baptiste Hébert, died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, age 7 months, in September 1820. The priest who recorded the boy's baptism did not bother to give the mother's name.
Joséphine Hébert married French Creole Jean Baptiste Caillouet at the Convent church, St. James Parish, in May 1821. The priest who recorded the marriage did not bother to list the couple's parents' names. Joséphine died near Convent in July 1833. She was only 40 years old.
Céleste Hébert gave birth to son Bélisaire near Baton Rouge in December 1822. The priest who recorded the boy's baptism in February 1825 did not give the father's name or Céleste's parents' names.
Élie Hébert, "res. St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish," died "at the home of Abraham Arseneaux" near Convent, St. James Parish, in January 1823. The priest who recorded his burial, but who did not bother to give any parents' names or mention a wife, said that Élie was 40 years old when he died.
Jean Baptiste Hébert died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in September 1823. The priest who recorded his burial, but who did not bother to give any parents' names or mention a wife, said that Jean Baptiste was 33 years old when he died.
Pierre Hébert died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in May 1824. The priest who recorded his burial, but who did not bother to give any parents' names or mention a wife, said that Pierre was 58 years old when he died.
Phelonise, daughter of Abraham Hébert, gave birth to daughter Marie Victorine probably near St. Gabriel in c1824. Marie Victorine died near St. Gabriel, age 9, in September 1833. The priest who recorded the girl's burial did not give the father's name, but he did note that the mother was "now wife of Janvier Allain."
Zacharie Hébert died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in March 1826. The priest who recorded his burial, but who did not bother to give any parents' names, said that Zacharie was 22 years old when he died.
Michel Hébert died near St. Gabriel in August 1828. The priest who recorded Michel's burial did not bother to give his age, record his parents' names, or mention a wife.
Jean Baptiste Hébert died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in April 1829. The priest who recorded his burial said that Jean Baptiste was 22 years old when he died but did not bother to record any parents' names or mention a wife.
Paul Hébert married Acadian Marcelline Rosalie, daughter of fellow Acadian Charles Dupuy and widow of Volny Doiron, at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in May 1829. The priest who recorded the marriage did not bother to give the couple's parents' names. One wonders if he was the Paul Hébert who died in West Baton Rouge in January 1831, age 28.
Marie Arvelline Hébert married French Creole Jean Baptiste LeTullier at the home of Isidore François LeTullier near Baton Rouge in June 1829. The priest who recorded the marriage did not give the parents' names.
Hélène Hébert gave birth to son Sosthène near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in August 1829. The priest who recorded the boy's baptism in May 1830 did not give the father's name or the mother's parents' names.
Gabriel Hébert died near Baton Rouge in February 1831. He was only 17 years old. The priest who recorded his burial did not bother to give the young man's parents' names.
Hélène Hébert's infant son, name and age unrecorded, died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in October 1834. The priest who recorded the boy's burial did not give the father's name or Hélène's parents' names.
Joseph Hébert married French Creole Marie Oubre probably in St. James Parish in the 1830s.
John Béloni Hébert died near Baton Rouge in June 1831. The priest who recorded his burial said that John was 22 years old when he died but did not give his parents' names or mention a wife.
James Hébert died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in August 1835. The priest who recorded his burial said that James was 32 years old when he died but did give his parents' names or mention a wife.

Auguste Hébert married French Creole Marie Zéolide Tuillier and settled near Brusly, West Baton Rouge Parish, by the early 1840s.
Louis Amazone Hébert married Émelie Labry. Their son Auguste, a twin, was born in Pointe Coupee Parish in January 1842.
Cadet or Caded Hébert married Augustine Duburalaux or Dubardaux. Their son Numa Augustin was born in West Baton Rouge Parish in August 1842, and Joseph Alberie near Brusly in July 1847.
Domitille, daughter of Joseph Hébert and Marie Louise Aucoin, married Troy, son of Anglo American Andry Brackin, at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in January 1844. Who were Domitille's paternal grandparents?
Justin Philiosse Hébert died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in July 1846. The priest who recorded his burial, and who did not bother to give any parents' names or mention a wife, said that Justin died at "age 40 yrs." So who were his parents, and did he marry?

An Hébert family line that emerged in the Baton Rouge area during the early antebellum period cannot be linked by local church records to any of the other Héberts in the area:

LOUISIANA: LAFOURCHE VALLEY SETTLEMENTS
Most of the Héberts who came to Louisiana in 1785 chose to go to upper Bayou Lafourche:
Charles Hébert, age 62, a widower, daughter Marie-Yvette, age 33, a widow, and her son Pierre Henry, age 14, crossed on La Bergère, the second of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in August. Charles probably died at Lafourche. Marie-Yvette probably did not remarry.
Marie-Madeleine Dugas, age 43, widow of Jean-Baptiste Hébert, crossed on La Bergère with seven children--Anne-Simone, age 20, Pierre-Michel, age 18, Anne-Marie, called Marie, age 17, Joseph-Servan dit Joson, age 15, Isabelle-Jeanne, age 13, Prosper-François, age 5, and infant Étienne. Marie-Madeleine did not remarry; she died at Lafourche in October 1793; she was only 51. Her daughters married into the Blanchard, Bourg, and Dugas families. Her sons settled on the upper bayou. Daughter Anne Simone died a widow in Assumption Parish in June 1833; the Plattenville priest who recorded her burial said that she was 63 years old when she died, but she was 69. Daughter Marie died a widow in Assumption Parish in August 1843, age 75.
Luce Bourg, age 40, widow of Jean-Baptiste Hébert, crossed on La Bergère with four children--Marie-Gertrude-Josèphe, age 17, Jean-Olivier, age 15, Félicité-Jeanne, age 13, and Françoise-Luce, age 11. Luce's daughters married into the Blanchard, Gautreaux, and Landry families. Her son settled on the upper Lafourche. Luce remarried to Simon, son of Joseph Mazerolle and widower of Marguerite Trahan, at Lafourche in January 1788. Simon also had come to Louisiana aboard La Bergère. They had no more children.
Isaac Hébert, age 32, crossed on La Bergère with wife Marie-Marguerite Daigle, age 23, and two children--Rémi, age 3, and infant Renée-Eulalie. Isaac and Marie-Marguerite had more children on the upper bayou.
Anne-Osite Dugas, age 30, widow of Charles Hébert, crossed on La Bergère with three children--Charles, fils, age 5, Anne-Victoire, age 4, and Marguerite-Sophie, age 2. They did not remain on the upper bayou. Anne-Osite remarried to Joseph, son of fellow Acadian Pierre Granger and widower of Anne-Geneviève Babin, at Attakapas in January 1791. Joseph had come to Louisiana from Maryland in 1766. They settled at Attakapas, where Joseph died in December 1798, age 53. Anne-Osite's Hébert children followed her to Attakapas. Daughter Anne-Victoire married into the Broussard.
.
Joseph Hébert, age 50, crossed on Le St.-Rémi, the fourth of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in September. With him were second wife Marie Benoit, age 48, and three children and a niece--Joseph, fils, age 24, Marie-Geneviève, age 22, Sophie-Marie, age 15, and Sophie Benoit, age 8. Joseph, père and Marie had no more children in Louisiana. Their daughters married into the Comeaux, Culaire, and Gautreaux families. Joseph, fils settled on the upper bayou, as did his cousin, Sophie Benoit.
Anne Hébert, age 42, widow of Pierre Robichaud, crossed on Le St.-Rémi with four children, ages 17 to 2. Anne remarried to widower and fellow Acadian Pierre LeBlanc at Lafourche in August 1790 and remained with him on the upper bayou.
Joseph-Ignace Hébert, age 37, crossed on Le St.-Rémi with wife Anne Dugas, age 36, and four children--Pierre, age 15, Olivier, age 11, Élisabeth-Jeanne, age 9, and Louis-Ambroise, age 2. They had more children on the upper bayou, where Joseph-Ignace remarried in 1805 in his late 50s.
Joseph Hébert, age 36, crossed on Le St.-Rémi with wife Jeanne De la Forestrie of Île St.-Jean, age 32, and five children--Joseph-Marie, age 11, Charles, age 10, Marie-Rose, age 8, Louis-Jean, age 5, and infant Anne-Marguerite. Joseph died at Lafourche not long after the family reached the colony. Jeanne remarried to Sébastien, son of fellow Acadian Augustin Benoit, at Lafourche in August 1789. Jeanne died on the upper bayou in the early 1790s, in her early 40s. After her death, Sébastien moved to the western prairies and remarried. Jeanne's youngest Hébert son remained on the upper Lafourche while her older sons and her daughters followed their stepfather to the western prairies, where the daughters married into the Bodin, Bouillon, Lebert, and Olivier (French Creole, not Acadian) families.
Jean-Baptiste Hébert, age 35, crossed on Le St.-Rémi with wife Anne-Josèphe Dugas, age 36, and five sons--Jean-Joseph, age 14, Ambroise-Mathurin, age 12, Simon, age 7, Alexis-Thomas, age 2, and Martin, a newborn. They had no more children in Louisiana. Their sons settled on the upper bayou. Jean-Baptiste died in Ascension Parish in March 1819; he was 70 years old. Two of his succession records, including an inventory, were filed at the Thibodauxville courthouse, Lafourche Interior Parish, the following May; future governor Henry Schuyler Thibodaux was named as curator of his estate. A third succession record was filed in April 1820 at what became the Houma courthouse, so Jean Baptiste must have owned property in what became Terrebonne Parish.
.
Ambroise, age 39, and Jean-Pierre Hébert, age 38, unmarried older brothers of Isaac of La Bergère, crossed on L'Amitié, the fifth of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in November. Jean-Pierre married Eudoxile, daughter of Honoré Girouard, at Lafourche in October 1787. She also had crossed to Louisiana aboard L'Amitié. They had no children. Ambroise never married. They remained on the upper bayou.
Étienne Hébert, age 38, crossed on L'Amitié with third wife Anne-Madeleine Breau, age 36, and five children--Cécile, age 18, Jean-Louis-Étienne, age 16, Guillaume-Bénoni, age 12, Louis-Gabriel, age 10, and infant Marie-Madeleine. They had another daughter but no more sons in Louisiana. Their daughters married into the Boutary and Neveu families. Their sons also settled on the bayou. What seems to be Étienne's succession record was filed at what became the Thibodauxville courthouse in August 1805. One wonders if he had died by then.
Marie Hébert, age 12, an orphan, crossed on L'Amitié with the family of Joseph Boudreau. She married widower Saturnin Bruno at St.-Jacques on the river in June 1791. They probably settled on the upper bayou.
.
Luce-Perpétué Bourg, age 43, widow of Pierre Hébert, and three daughters--Victoire-Luce, age 17, Anne-Marie-Julienne, age 11, and Julienne-Pérrine, age 5--crossed on La Ville d'Archangel, the sixth of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in December. Evidently they did not follow their fellow passengers to Bayou des Écores, north of Baton Rouge, but went directly to upper Bayou Lafourche instead. Luce-Perpétué remarried twice, first to fellow Acadian Félix Boudreaux, widower of Madeleine Hébert, at Lafourche in August 1787, and then to Charles, son of fellow Acadian Pierre Gautreaux and widower of Marie-Madeleine Melançon, at Lafourche in November 1789. Her Hébert daughters settled on the upper bayou and married into the Cedotal, Dominguez, LeBlanc, and Thériot families. Daughter Victoire died a widow in Assumption Parish in November 1824, in her late 50s. Daughter Anne died in Assumption Parish in June 1833, age 60.
.
Joseph Hébert, age 15, his 10-year-old sister Marie-Louise, and their half-brother, Martin-Bénoni Pitre, age 18, crossed on La Caroline, the last of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in December. Joseph may not have married. Marie-Louise married André, son of fellow Acadian Charles LeBlanc, at Assumption in October 1793. Martin-Bénoni also settled on the Lafourche.
.
The Héberts from France created a third center of family settlement in the Bayou Lafourche valley:
Ambroise (c1746-1813) & Jean-Pierre (c1747-1824) HÉBERT
Brothers Ambroise and Jean-Pierre, first and second sons of Ambroise Hébert and Marie-Madeleine Bourg, born in Acadia in c1746 and c1747, ended up in France. They came to Louisiana aboard L'Amitié, the fifth of the Seven Ships from France, in 1785, and followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to upper Bayou Lafourche. Antoine never married. As church records reveal, he witnessed many marriages at the Plattenville church, Assumption Parish, so he may have been a lay official of the parish. Jean-Pierre married Eudoxile, 40-year-old daughter of fellow Acadian Honoré Girouard, at Lafourche in October 1787; Jean-Pierre also was 40 years old at the time of the wedding; amazingly, this was her first marriage, too. Eudoxile also had come to Louisiana aboard L'Amitié, so they had known one another for years. Jean-Pierre and Eudoxile had no children. By 1791, Jean-Pierre was a widower and living with his older brother at Assumption. Ambroise died in Assumption Parish in May 1813; the priest who recorded his burial said that Ambroise was 71 years old when he died, but he was "only" 67. Jean Pierre died in Assumption Parish in November 1824; the priest who recorded his burial said that Jean Pierre was 70 years old when he died, but he was closer to 77. Their younger brother Isaac was the one who perpetuated the family line in the Bayou State.
Descendants of Isaac HÉBERT (c1753-1822)
Isaac, third son of Ambroise Hébert and Marie-Madeleine Bourg and younger brother of Ambroise and Jean-Pierre, was born in Acadia in c1753, on the eve of Le Grand Dérangement. Isaac ended up with him family in France and came to Louisiana aboard La Bergère, the second of the Seven Ships from France, in 1785 with his 23-year-old wife Marie-Marguerite, daughter of Eustache Daigle, whom he had married in France in c1780, and a son and an infant daughter, both born in France. They followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to upper Bayou Lafourche, where they had more children, including four more sons. Isaac and Marie-Marguerite's daughters married into the Aucoin, Barrilleaux, Cedotal, Doiron, Landry, and Potier families. Isaac died in Assumption Parish in April 1822; the priest who recorded his burial said that Isaac was 74 years old when he died, but he was closer to 69.

Their son Léon Aurelien was born in Lafourche Interior Parish in December 1837, Michel in November 1840, and Aubert Alfred in January 1842. They also had a son named Neuville. Jean Louis's succession inventory was filed at the Houma courthouse, Terrebonne Parish, in May 1843; he would have been 56 years old that year. A daughter was born in June 1845, so the succession record may not have been post-mortem.
1a
Justin, by his first wife, married Marie Azélie, called Azélie, daughter of fellow Acadian Guillaume Bergeron of Terrebonne Parish, at the Thibodaux church, Lafourche Interior Parish, in July 1839. Their son Auguste le jeune was born in Lafourche Interior Parish in February 1840. They were living in Terrebonne Parish later in the decade. ...

Their daughters married into the Elfert and Toups families. Joseph Auguste served as tutor for Jean Baptiste Sylvain, minor son of Jean Baptiste Lejeune, his brother-in-law, after the boy's father died in November 1827; the quittance ending the tutorship was filed at the Houma courthouse in July 1836, when the boy was age 10, and described Jean Auguste as a resident of Lafourche Interior Parish. A local civil record insists that Auguste, son of Joseph Hébert and Marie Euranbourg, married "Mrs. Alix," daughter of fellow Acadian Fabien Sébastien Dantin and widow of ____ Lirette, in a civil ceremony in Lafourche Interior Parish in June 1838, but the baptismal of Joseph Auguste's younger children show that Rosalie Lejeune was still very much alive in 1838 and for years thereafter. One wonders if Joseph Auguste had a younger brother named Auguste, or if the 1838 marriage record attributed the wrong parents to the groom.
Descendants of Pierre-Michel HÉBERT (1766-1845?)
Pierre-Michel, eldest son of Jean-Baptiste Hébert and Marie-Madeleine Dugas, born at St.-Coulomb, France, near St.-Malo, in April 1766, came to Louisiana with his widowed mother and siblings aboard La Bergère, the second of the Seven Ships, in 1785.

Élisabeth-Marie also had come to Louisiana aboard La Bergère. Their daughters married into the Campo, Comeaux, Daigle, Giroir, Guillot, and Landry families. Pierre Michel may have died in Assumption Parish in May 1845; the Plattenville priest who recorded the burial, and who did not bother to give any parents' names or even mention a wife, says that Pierre died at "age 80 yrs."; this Pierre would have been 79, so this likely was him.

Louis-Gabriel HÉBERT (1775-)
Louis-Gabriel, called Gabriel, third son of Étienne Hébert and his first wife Marie Lavergne, born at Cenan, Poitou, France, in February 1775, came to Louisiana with his father, stepmother, and siblings aboard L'Amitié, the fifth of the Seven Ships, in 1785. The family followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to upper Bayou Lafourche. One wonders if Louis-Gabriel ever married.
Descendants of Jean-Joseph HÉBERT (1771-)
Jean-Joseph, also called Jean-Baptiste, eldest son of Jean-Baptist Hébert and Anne-Josèphe Dugas, born at St.-Suliac, France, near St.-Malo, in April 1771, came to Louisiana with his parents and siblings aboard Le St.-Rémi, the fourth of the Seven Ships, in 1785. The family followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to upper Bayou Lafourche, where Jean-Joseph married Marie-Madeleine, called Madeleine, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean-Baptiste LeBlanc, at Assumption in April 1793. Madeleine had come to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships from France. Their daughters married into the Guillot, Mussau or Musseau, and Thibodeaux families. Their only son settled down bayou in Terrebonne Parish. Jean Joseph's succession record may have been filed at what became the Interior Parish courthouse at Thibodauxville in December 1806. His only son married twice and had several sons of his own.
Jean-Baptiste, born in what became Lafourche Interior Parish in c1803, married cousin Marie Angélique, called Angélique, 23-year-old daughter of fellow Acadian Jean Martin LeBlanc, at the Thibodauxville church, Lafourche Interior Parish, in August 1828.

The family followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to upper Bayou Lafourche, where Ambroise-Mathurin may have fathered a "natural child" by fellow Acadian Marie-Marguerite, called Marguerite, Lejeune, in late 1794. Marguerite had come to Louisiana aboard L'Amitié, the fifth of the Seven Ships. There is no record of a marriage for him and Marguerite, but Ambroise-Mathurin did marry Isabelle-Madeleine, daughter of fellow Acadian Charles-Olivier Guillot, at Assumption in November 1797. Isabelle-Madeleine also had come to Louisiana aboard Le St.-Rémi. Their daughters married into the Babin, Lejeune, McLahlan, Pichot or Pichotte, and Sevin families. A succession record providing for the tutelage of Ambroise Mathurin's minor children was filed at the Thibodauxville courthouse, Lafourche Interior Parish, in February 1822. One wonders if Ambroise Mathurin had died by then.
1
Oldest son Pierre-Félix-Ambroise, perhaps a "natural" child, born at Assumption in October 1794, may have died young.

Joseph, son of Charles Hébert and Marguerite-Louise Valet, born at St.-Suliac, France, near St.-Malo, in December 1772, came to Louisiana with a sister and a half-brother aboard La Caroline, the last of the Seven Ships from France, in 1785. They followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to upper Bayou Lafourche. In January 1788, Spanish officials counted Joseph with his half-brother Martin-Bénoni Pitre and Martin's wife on the upper bayou. Joseph may not have married.
Descendants of Louis-Jean HÉBERT (1779-)
Louis-Jean, youngest son of Joseph Hébert and Jeanne De La Forestrie of Île St.-Jean, born at St.-Similien, Nantes, France, in June 1779, came to Louisiana with his parents and siblings aboard Le St.-Rémi, the fourth of the Seven Ships, in 1785. The family followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to upper Bayou Lafourche. Louis-Jean's father died soon after the family settled at Lafourche, and his mother remarried to a fellow Acadian exile from France, Sébastien Benoit. Louis-Jean's mother died at Lafourche in the early 1790s, when he was still a boy. His stepfather left the bayou and moved to the Calcasieu River area at the far western edge of the Opelousas District, near present-day Lake Charles, but Louis-Jean did not follow him or his older brothers there. Louis-Jean probably grew up with relatives on upper Bayou Lafourche, where he married Félicité Julie, daughter of fellow Acadian Martin Bénoni Pitre, at the Plattenville church, Assumption Parish, in November 1812. Félicité had been born in Louisiana a few years after her family had come to the colony aboard La Caroline, the last of the Seven Ships from France. Their daughter married into the Guin family. Did Louis Jean father any sons?
~
During the late colonial period, Héberts from France who had gone to river communities moved on to upper Bayou Lafourche and resettled near their cousins already there:
Amable Hébert followed his children from Baton Rouge to the upper Lafourche, where he died in January 1816, in his 70s.
Descendants of Ambroise HÉBERT (c1730-?)
Ambroise Hébert, born in Acadia in c1730, and his wife Félicité Lejeune, whom he married in Acadia in c1754, were deported to France from one of the Maritime islands in 1758. They lost two young daughters in the crossing to St.-Malo. In France, they had at least 14 more children, nine of whom died in childhood! Only one of them, a daughter, came with them to Louisiana, aboard La Caroline, the last of the Seven Ships, in 1785. After a brief respite at New Orleans, Ambroise and Félicité settled most likely in the Isleño community of Nueva Gálvez, also called San Bernardo, along Bayou Terre-aux-Boeufs below New Orleans in present-day St. Bernard Parish. Félicité may have died not long after they reached Louisiana, and Ambroise may have moved to Assumption on upper Bayou Lafourche. Their daughter married into the Tardit family.
Descendants of Pierre-Jean HÉBERT (1763-1827)
Pierre-Jean, eldest son of Pierre Hébert and his second wife Susanne Pitre, born at Ploubalay, France, near St.-Malo, in February 1763, came to Louisiana with his parents and siblings aboard La Ville d'Archangel, the sixth of the Seven Ships from France, in 1785. They followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to Bayou des Écores, north of Baton Rouge, where Pierre-Jean married cousin Anne-Marie, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph Aucoin, in May 1788. Anne, whose mother was an Hébert, also had come to Louisiana aboard La Ville d'Archangel. After the Acadians abandoned Bayou des Écores in the early 1790s, Pierre-Jean and Anne moved to upper Bayou Lafourche. Their daughter married into the Maillet family. Pierre Jean died in Lafourche Interior Parish in December 1827; the Thibodauxville priest who recorded his burial said that Pierre was 66 years old when he died, but he was "only" 64.

François-Étienne HÉBERT (1767-1844)
François-Étienne, second son of Pierre Hébert and his second wife Susanne Pitre, born at Ploubalay, France, near St.-Malo, France, in February 1767, came to Louisiana with his parents and siblings aboard La Ville d'Archangel, the sixth of the Seven Ships, in 1785. François married Angélique, daughter of fellow Acadian Pierre Henry, at New Orleans in January 1786, soon after they reached the colony on the same ship. They followed the majority of their fellow passengers to Bayou des Écores, north of Baton Rouge, before moving to upper Bayou Lafourche, where they were counted at Valenzuéla in the mid- and late 1790s without children. François Étienne died in Lafourche Interior Parish in October 1844; the Thibodaux priest who recorded his burial said that François died "at age 83 yrs.," but he was "only" 77. One wonders if he was a widower when he died, and if he and his wife were that rare Acadian couple who had no children.

Their daughters married into the Delaune, Fremin, Gros, Juneau, and Lagrange families. Joseph Yves died in Lafourche Interior Parish in October 1843; the Thibodaux priest who recorded his burial said that Joseph died "at age 77 yrs.," but he was "only" 74.

André HÉBERT (c1776-?)
André, only son of Amable Hébert and Marie-Anne Richard, born in France in c1776, came to Louisiana with his widowed father, step-grandmother, and three sisters aboard Le Bon Papa, the first of the Seven Ships, in 1785. The family followed the majority of their fellow passengers to Manchac, south of Baton Rouge, and then moved to upper Bayou Lafourche in the late 1780s or early 1790s. Amable never remarried, so André remained his only male heir. André was still living with his widowed father and an older, unmarried sister on the upper bayou in April 1797, when he was 20 years old. Amable died at St. Gabriel on the river in January 1816; the priest who recorded his burial said that Amable was 80 years old when he died, but he probably was closer to 74. Son André may not have married, so this line of the family, except for its blood, would have died with him.

In a reversal of the usual Acadian settlement pattern, an Hébert from the western prairies moved to Bayou Lafourche during the antebellum period:
Descendants of Jean Charles HÉBERT (1801-)
Jean-Charles, second son of Pierre Joseph Hébert and Anne Eléonore Comeaux of Ascension and Opelousas, born at Opelousas in February 1801, married Clarisse Melvina, called Clance or Clavie, daughter of French Creole Vincent Comardelle of New Orleans, at the Thibodauxville church, Lafourche Interior Parish, in October 1825.

Other HÉBERTs in the Lafourche/Terrebonne Valley
Area church and civil records make it difficult to link many Héberts in the Bayou Lafourche/Bayou Terrebonne valley with known Acadian lines of the family there:
Victor Hébert married Acadian Jeanette Daigle. Their son Jean Baptiste was born in Assumption Parish in September 1822.
Mathias, son of Joseph Hébert, died in Lafourche Interior Parish a day after his birth in February 1824. The priest who recorded the boy's funeral did not give the mother's name.
Marie Cécile Hébert married François Nicolas Davie. She died in Lafourche Interior Parish, age 30, in July 1824. The priest who recorded her burial did not give her parents' names.
Bertrand Hébert, also called Haubert, married Spanish Creole Célesie Navarre. Their son Jean Théophile was born in Lafourche Interior Parish in July 1828. Their daughter married into the Dugas family. Was Bertrand an Acadian Hébert or a Creole Haubert?
Rosalie Hébert, 24 years old, married 26-year-old Julien Benjamin Martin of Montréal in a civil ceremony in Terrebonne Parish in April 1830. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names.
François Hébert married French Creole Marie Rose Ayaux and settled in Lafourche Interior Parish by the early 1830s.
Joseph Hébert married Acadian Rosalie Thibodeaux and settled in Lafourche Interior Parish by the early 1830s.
Élise Hébert married Anglo American Henry Roddy in a civil ceremony in Terrebonne Parish in July 1833. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names.
Joseph Hébert died in Lafourche Interior Parish in August 1836. The priest who recorded Joseph's burial did not bother to give his parents' names, mention a wife, or even give his age at the time of his death.
Louis Maxiliaire or Marcelière Hébert married Acadian Louise Odile Louise, called Odile, Babin at the Thibodaux church, Lafourche Interior Parish, in July 1840, five months after a daughter was born. The priest who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names. Their son François Vital was born in Lafourche Interior Parish in September 1844.
Maximin Hébert married Mare Émée, called Émée, Vicknair. Their son Maximin, fils was born in Lafourche Interior Parish in February 1846, Maximin René in January 1847, and Paul Rémi in February 1849.
Alexandre Neuville, called Neuville, Hébert married Adèle Tiern or Kerne. Their son Alexandre Émile was born in Lafourche Interior Parish in November 1847, and Simon Alfred in April 1849.
Antoine Hébert married French Creole Véronique LeBoeuf in a civil ceremony in Terrebonne Parish in January 1848. The parish clerk who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names. Their son Uverjule Hilaire was born at Bayou Black in November 1849.
.
An Hébert family line that appeared on Bayou Lafourche during the early antebellum period cannot be linked by local church records to any of the other Héberts in the area:
Descendants of Jean Baptiste HÉBERT (?-)
Jean Baptiste Hébert married Céleste Azélie or Azélie Céleste, daughter of, perhaps, fellow Acadian Basile Prejean, probably in Lafourche Interior Parish in the late 1810s. Their daughters married into the Adam, Bernard, Delatte, and Roger families. ...

Older son Jean Baptiste Célestin, born in Lafourche Interior Parish in January 1820, married Marie Eulalie, daughter of Philippe Vigneau or Vignaux, in a civil ceremony in Lafourche Interior Parish in January 1846, and sanctified the marriage at the Thibodaux church, Lafourche Interior Parish, the following month. Their son Bélisaire Derneville was born in Lafourche Interior Parish in December 1846, and Hilaire in March 1849. ...
2
Younger son Neuville Alexandre, born in Lafourche Interior Parish in November 1824, married Adèle, daughter of Jean Baptiste Kerne of St. John the Baptist Parish, at the Thibodaux church, Lafourche Interior Parish, in February 1846. ...
NON-ACADIAN FAMILIES in LOUISIANA
Not all of the Héberts of South Louisiana were Acadians. Some were French natives or French Creoles, others Foreign French:
Sister Charlotte Ursule de St.-Xavier Hébert, an Ursuline nun, took charge of the convent's sick house at New Orleans in September 1734, seven years after the Ursulines came to the colony. "It was not long before the [Ursuline] hospital was transformed and the Nuns elicited the highest praise from officials for their faithfulness and efficiency."
In 1741, the King's attorney in Louisiana "recommended that one Hébert pay a fine of 100 livres in favor of Sieur Feugere whom he had assaulted and insulted, and also 100 livres for repairs to the church at Pointe Coupée."
In November 1774, Adrien Hébert dit Delaurier, 68-year-old native of Picardy, France, died at Charity Hospital in New Orleans. He was a former gardener and soldier.
.
During the late colonial period, two French brothers from Burgundy and a kinsman, perhaps a nephew, settled near Acadian Héberts in the Opelousas District. One of the brothers married a fellow Creole, the other a French Canadian. As was common with French Creoles in that area, few, if any, of their descendants married Acadians:
Descendants of François HÉBERT dit Milan (?-)
François dit Milan, sometimes called François Milani, son of Philippe Hébert, père and Marguerite Lambert of Martigny le Comte, Burgundy, France, married Marie-Anne, daughter of French Creole François Marcantel of Pointe Coupée, at Pointe Coupée in April 1771. François and Marie-Anne lived for a time at Ouachita before moving to the Opelousas District, where they settled on Prairie Mamou, between bayous Nezpique and des Cannes, west of Opelousas. They had at least four sons, three of whom created families of their own in St. Landry Parish.
1
François, fils, born in March 1773 and baptized by a Pointe Coupée priest a few weeks later, married Marie, also called Polly, Morel or Morella probably at Opelousas early in the 1800s. They lived for a time at Rapides, north of Opelousas. Their son Hippolyte le jeune was born in St. Landry Parish in June 1807. They also had sons named François III and Joseph. Their daughters married into the Carpenter, Fontenot, Perrodin, and Voorhies families. ...

François III settled in Rapides Parish and married Anglo American Sarah Essex in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in April 1824. ...
1b
Hippolyte le jeune married Marie, daughter of Anglo American James Clark, probably at Opelousas in the late 1820s; Marie's mother was a Jeansonne. ...
1c
Joseph married Anglo American Minerva Humphrey of Mississippi in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in April 1830. ...
2
Hippolyte, baptized by a Pointe Coupée priest, age unrecorded, in November 1775, may have died young.
3
Joachim, born at Ouachita and baptized by a Pointe Coupée priest, age 3 months, in May 1781, married Émelie, also called Thérèse, Gagnard at Opelousas probably early in the 1800s. Their son Joachim, fils was baptized at Opelousas, age 18 months, in October 1803. Their daughter married into the Fontenot family. Joachim, père remarried to Marie, daughter of French Creole François Fontenot of Mobile and Prairie Mamou, at the Opelousas church, St. Landry Parish, in January 1811. They settled on Prairie Mamou. Their son Leufroi or Siffroi was born in St. Landry Parish in May 1812, and Cyprien in September 1820. Their daughters married into the Humphreys, Manuel, and Reed families. Joachim, père's succession record was filed at the Opelousas courthouse in July 1823; he would have been 42 years old that year.
3a
Joachim, fils, by his first wife, married Divine, another daughter of François Fontenot and his stepmother's sister, at the Opelousas church, St. Landry Parish, in May 1821. Their son Denys was born in Lafayette Parish in June 1827. ...
3b
Cyprien, by his second wife, married French Creole Eugènie Bordelon in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in December 1840, and sanctified the marriage at the Opelousas church, St. Landry Parish, in May 1842. Their son Armand was born in St. Landry Parish in June 1846. ...
3c
Leufroi, by his second wife, married Élise, called Lise, 17-year-old daughter of German Creole Frédéric Miller, at the Opelousas church, St. Landry Parish, in July 1832. Their son Léon was born in St. Landry Parish in November 1835, Alphonse in December 1837, and Adolphe was baptized at the Opelousas church, age 2 1/2, in March 1843. ...
4
Joseph le jeune, born probably at Opelousas in the late 1780s, married Élisabeth or Isabelle, yet another daughter of François Fontenot, at the Opelousas church, St. Landry Parish, in September 1816. Their son Joseph Milan was born in St. Landry Parish in July 1817, François le jeune in April 1823, Léon in January 1828, Hilaire in January 1830, and Adolphe in July 1836. ...
François le jeune may have married Denise Miller. If so, their son Achille was born in St. Landry Parish in May 1844. ...
Descendants of Philippe HÉBERT dit Milan (?-)
Philippe Hébert, fils, also called Philippe dit Milan, son of Philippe Hébert, père and Marguerite Lambert of Martigny le Comte, Burgundy, France, Francois's brother, married Eléonore, daughter of French Canadian Joseph Roy, at Ascension, on the Acadian Coast, in July 1775. Philippe dit Milan and Marguerite also settled in the Opelousas District. Their daughters married into the Beaulieu (Bertrand) (French Canadian, not Acadian), Frugé, Guillory, and Mayeux families. Philippe dit Milan's daughter Françoise, before she married Jacob Beaulieu in June 1803, bore a "natural child," daughter Louise or Arthémise, in September 1801. Arthémise married into the Lahaye family. Philippe dit Milan died at Opelousas in October 1792; the priest who recorded his burial did not give Philippe's age at the time of his death. His only son may have perpetuated the line.
Auguste, baptized at Opelousas in September 1789, may have died young, unless he was the Auguste Hébert who married Marcellite Baptiste Lejeune, perhaps an Acadian, and settled in St. Landry Parish. If so, their son Augustin, fils was born in January 1836, when Auguste would have been in his late 40s.
Joseph HÉBERT (c1769-1819)
Joseph Hébert, born in c1769, perhaps a nephew of François and Philippe Hébert dit Milan, died at the home of kinsman Joachim Hébert, père, François's son who lived on Prairie Mamou, in May 1819. The Opelousas priest who recorded his burial said that Joseph was 50 years old when he died. He may not have married.
.
Nancy Milan, probably a daughter of one of the Hébert dit Milans, married Anglo American Eli Clark in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in July 1832.
~
Two Héberts, perhaps Foreign French, settled on the river during the early antebellum period:
Pierre, son of Rémi Hébert and Julie Martin of Nantes, France, married Dorothée, daughter of French Creole Jean Legros, at the Pointe Coupee church, Pointe Coupee Parish, in July 1810, 22 months after their daughter Yvanisse was born probably in Pointe Coupee Parish. Pierre became a steamboat engineer on the Mississippi in the infant days of that form of travel (the first Mississippi River steamboat, Nicholas Roosevelt's New Orleans, made its historic voyage from Pittsburgh to New Orleans in 1811-12). The job cost Pierre his life. On 4 May 1817, he was killed in a boiler explosion aboard the steamboat Constitution at Pointe Coupee and was buried there the following day, only 27 years old.
Gabriel Hébert married French Creole Clara Masse probably at Baton Rouge in the 1810s. Their son Jean Baptiste was born at Baton Rouge in April 1819. ...
.
Several Foreign-French Héberts, including a small family, came to Louisiana during the late antebellum period:
Louis Hébert, a 30-year-old farmer from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Magnolia out of Le Havre, France, in November 1845. He was heading to Missouri.
Philippe Hébert, a 23-year-old farmer from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Octavius out of Le Havre in April 1846. With him was wife Élisabeth, age 22, and their 11-month-old daughter Maria.
Jean Hébert, a 28-year-old clerk from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Caroline & Mary Clark out of Liverpool, England, in November 1850.
Auguste Hébert, a 36-year-old farmer from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Devonshire out of Le Havre in February 1851.
CONCLUSION
Héberts were among the first families of Acadia and some of the earliest Acadians to find refuge in Louisiana. The first of them reached the colony from Halifax via St.-Domingue, today's Haiti, in February 1765 with the Broussard dit Beausoleil party. They followed the Broussards to the Attakapas District. Later in the year, still more Héberts came from Halifax via Haiti and settled at Opelousas, north of Attakapas, and at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques on the river above New Orleans. The following year, in 1766, two Hébert wives were the first of the family to reach the colony from Maryland; they went to Cabanocé. In 1767, nine Hébert families arrived from Maryland and went to St.-Gabriel d'Iberville on the river above Cabanocé, settling on what became known as the Acadian Coast. One of these St.-Gabriel families produced a future governor and two future generals, another a state senator and a parish sheriff. By the 1780s, substantial centers of family settlement had developed on the western prairies and especially along the Acadian Coast.
Even if the Spanish government had not coaxed over 1,500 Acadians in France to come to Louisiana in the 1780s, the Hébert family would have been a large one in Louisiana, but the latter-day arrivals added substantially to the family's numbers. The 1785 flood of immigrants from France included over 100 Héberts. There were, in fact, more Héberts on the rolls of the Seven Ships expeditions than any other family. Some of them settled on the Acadian Coast among their cousins from Halifax and Maryland, but most of them went to upper Bayou Lafourche, creating a third center of family settlement. During the late colonial and early antebellum periods, Héberts from the river joined their cousins in the Lafourche and Terrebonne valleys, and some of the Héberts from the river and Bayou Lafourche moved on to the western prairies. During the early antebellum period, in a reversal of the usual Acadian settlement pattern, Héberts from Bayou Lafourche resettled on the river, but some of their cousins followed the usual pattern by moving from the river to Bayou Lafourche.
By the eve of the War Between the States, then, Héberts could be found in nearly every corner of today's Acadiana. On the prairies, they lived along Bayou Teche from the Breaux Bridge area of St. Martin Parish all the way down into St. Mary Parish, and on the southwestern prairies in Lafayette and St. Landry parishes, some as far west as the Mermentau River valley; they were especially numerous on the Lafayette prairies. On the river, they could be found on both sides of the river in St. James, Ascension, and Iberville parishes, and farther up in East and West Baton Rouge parishes, especially on the west bank of the river. In the Lafourche/Terrebonne valley, they settled from the Ascension/Assumption parish line all the way down into Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes, some as far down as the coastal marshes bordering the Gulf of Mexico.
Not all of the Héberts of South Louisiana were Acadians. A French Creole Hébert died at Charity Hospital, New Orleans, in 1774. Two Hébert brothers from Burgundy lived at Pointe Coupée and Ascension in the 1770s before leaving the river. One of them settled for a time at Ouachita before joining his brother in the Opelousas District. Few, if any, of their descendants married Acadians. One of the brothers, François dit Milan, had three sons who created families of their own, but the numbers of these French-Creole Héberts remained small compared to their Acadian namesakes on the surrounding prairies. ...
According to a recent study of Louisiana families with French and Spanish surnames, Hébert "is the most frequent surname of French origin, barely outnumbering Landry." The study counted over 6,000 households in the state bearing the surname Hébert. They can be found in all parts of Louisiana, the study concluded, but they "have remained largely in the southern part of the state near areas first settled by their forebears." This is especially interesting in light of the fact that more Landrys and LeBlancs came to Louisiana than Héberts.
The family's name also is spelled Eber, Eberd, Etbert, Heber, Heberd, Hever, Heverre, Hevert, Hiber, Hiver, Iber.
