Acadians Who Found Refuge in Louisiana, February 1764-early 1800s
[LAN-dree]
ACADIA
There were two progenitors of this family in Acadia, both named René. According to Acadian genealogist Stephen A. White, "After a study of the dispensations granted upon the marriages of the descendants of the Landrys, it appears that the first two René Landrys in Acadia could not have been more nearly related than in the second to the third degree." In other words, they were cousins, not father and son or brothers:
René Landry, later called l'aîné, a farmer perhaps from La Chaussée, near Blois, in the Orleanais region of the Loire valley in France, born in c1618, came to Acadia in c1640, one the early French settlers in Acadia. He married Pérrine Bourg, widow of colonist Simon Pelletret, at Port-Royal in c1645. René's sister Antoinette had married Antoine Bourg, progenitor of that family, in c1642, so even before he started a family of his own, René was well-connected to an important family in the colony. He fathered five children, including two sons, both born at Port-Royal, who created families of their own. Their three daughters married into the Comeau, Granger, Richard dit Beaupré, and Dupuis families.
Older son Pierre, born in c1658, married Madeleine, daughter of Étienne Robichaud, at Port-Royal in c1682. They remained in the Port-Royal area and had six children, including five sons who married into the Mius d'Entremont de Pobomcoup, Melanson, Mius de Pleinmarais, and Belliveau families. Their daughter married into the Mius d'Entremont de Pobomcoup family.
Younger son Claude, born in c1663, married Marguerite, daughter of Claude Thériot, at Port-Royal in c1683. In 1714, after the British took over the colony, Claude received permission from the French king to settle on Île Royale, today's Cape Breton Island, which remained in French hands. Evidently Claude remained at Port-Royal, where he and Marguerite had 10 children, including four sons who married into the Babineau, Petitot dit Saint-Seine, and Robichaud families. Five of their daughters married into the Dugas dit Grivois, Boudrot, Bourg, and Petitot dit Saint-Seine families. Claude died at Port-Royal in December 1740, age 79. Several of his daughters did go to Île Royale, settling at Port-Toulouse.
~
Another Landry, born in c1634, also named René and called le jeune, came to the colony by c1659 with his wife Marie Bernard. René le jeune became the patriarch of an even larger branch of the Landry clan. He was not counted in the first Acadian census of 1671, but he did appear in the second census of 1678. He died at Port-Royal in c1693, in his late 50s. He and Marie had 15 children, including eight sons, all born at Port-Royal, who created families of their own. Six of their daughters married into the Thériot, Racois dit de Rosier, Dupuis, Richard, LeBlanc, and Blanchard families. (René le jeune is a paternal ancestor of alligator hunter Troy Landry of Pierre Part, Louisiana, featured on the History Channel's popular "Swamp People" series.)
Oldest son Antoine, born in c1660, married Marie, daughter of Pierre Thibodeau, probably at Port-Royal in c1681. Later in the decade they moved to Chignecto and were counted at Minas in the early 1690s. According to a 1702 report by a colonial official, Antoine and his brother Claude were among "the first residents of Les Mines." Antoine and Marie had 12 children, including six sons who married into the LeBlanc, Forest, Doucet, Melanson, and Bourg families. Their six daughters married into the Hébert, LeBlanc, and Babin families. Antoine died at Grand-Pré in February 1711, in his early 50s.
Claude, not to be confused with the son of René l'aîné, was, like the other Claude Landry, born in c1663. He married first to Marie-Catherine, another daughter of Pierre Thibodeau, at Port-Royal in c1684. They had 13 children, including five sons who married into the Comeau, Melanson, Doucet, and LeBlanc families. Four of their daughters married into the LeBlanc, Gautrot, Célestin dit Bellemère, and Daigre families. According to a 1702 report by a colonial official, Claude and his older brother Antoine were among "the first residents of Les Mines." Claude remarried to Marie, daughter of Antoine Babin, probably at Minas in c1725. They had no children. Claude remarried again--his third marriage--to Jeanne, daughter of André Célestin dit Bellemère and widow of Mathieu Brasseur dit La Citarty, at Grand-Pré in May 1741. He had no children by his third wife either. Claude died at Grand-Pré in September 1747, in his mid-80s.
Jean, born in c1666, became a carpenter. He married Cécile, daughter of Pierre Melanson dit La Verdure, fils, probably at Port-Royal in c1687. They were counted at Minas in 1693. They had nine children, including four sons who married into the Dugas, Gautrot, Vincent, and Babin families. Three of their daughters married into the Dingle, Lejeune, and Daigre families.
René, fils, born in c1668, married Anne, daughter of Bonaventure Thériot, at Port-Royal in c1691. They had 10 children, including four sons who married into the Melanson, Thériot, Rivet, and LeBlanc families. Their three daughters married into the LeBlanc and Vincent families.
Germain, born in c1674, married Marie, another daughter of Pierre Melanson dit La Verdure, fils, at Port-Royal in c1694. In 1714, Germain, living at Minas, having received permission from the French king, was one of the Acadians who went with Father Gaulin to look at land on Île Royale. He remained at Minas, where he and Marie had 11 children, including six sons who married into the Blanchard, Babin, LeBlanc, and Bourg families. Three of their daughters married into the Babin and Comeau families.
Abraham, born in c1678, married Marie, daughter of Pierre Guilbeau, at Port-Royal in October 1701. In the same year of his marriage, Abraham was described by a census taker as a "garçon à la pesche," or fisherman. In the early 1700s, he and his wife moved to Pigiguit in the Minas Basin. In 1714, Abraham also received permission to settle on Île Royale, and, like his brothers, he remained in Nova Scotia. Abraham and Marie had 10 children, including five sons who married into the Doucet, LeBlanc, Flan, Rivet, and Thériot families. Their three daughters married into the Bugeaud, Rivet, LeBlanc, and Landry families. (Abraham is alligator hunter Troy Landry's paternal ancestor through Abraham's oldest son Pierre, who married Anne-Marie, daughter of René Doucet, at Port-Royal in June 1726; Anne-Marie's mother was Marie Broussard, older sister of the Beausoleil Broussard brothers of Acadian resistance fame. Pierre and Anne-Marie settled at Pigiguit.)
Pierre, born in c1680, became a fisherman. He married Madeleine, daughter of François Broussard, at Port-Royal in January 1704. They settled at Minas. In 1714, he, too, received permission to settle on Île Royale. He and Madeleine had five children, including three sons who married into the Babin, Thériot, and Bourg families. Their daughter married into the LeBlanc family.
Youngest son Charles dit Charlot, born in c1688, married Catherine-Josèphe, another daughter of François Broussard, at Port-Royal in October 1708. In 1714, he, too, received permission to settle on Île Royale. He and his wife remained at Port-Royal. In September 1727, in their capacity as delegates to the colonial council, Charles dit Charlot and two other Port-Royal settlers refused to take the oath of allegiance to the new British king, George II. The British imprisoned the three delegates for this bold refusal. It cost Charles dit Charlot his life. While being held in the stockade at Fort Anne, he fell gravely ill. His wife beseeched colonial officials to release him so that "he could be better looked after." The officials, calling him "a very Great Offender," refused, and Charles dit Charlot died in confinement in November 1727, in his late 30s. But before his early passing, he fathered nine children with Catherine-Josèphe, including two sons who married into the Girouard, Babin, Carret, and Pitre families. Two of their daughters married into the Lanoue and Savoie families. ...
LE GRAND DÉRANGEMENT
Le Grand Dérangement scattered these large families even farther. ...
LOUISIANA: RIVER SETTLEMENTS
Landrys were among the very first Acadians to find refuge in Louisiana. Olivier Landry, probably in his 40s, came to the colony with wife Cécile Poirier, age 41, and three children, Joseph, age 16, Marie, age 14, and Jean-Antoine, age 3. (One authority says that Olivier learned of the colony's good qualities from a kinsman, Joseph De Goutin de Ville, a native of Port-Royal, who, at first as a young army officer and then as a merchant, had been living at New Orleans since the late 1740s.) The Landrys and their three related families, the Cormiers, Poiriers, and Richards, 21 persons in all, left Savannah, Georgia, on 21 December 1763 aboard the Savannah Packet and sailed to Mobile, "from which place they are to go to New Orleans," proclaimed an article in the Georgia Gazette the following day. After a short stay in Mobile, which now belonged to the hated British, they reached New Orleans in February 1764--the first recorded group of Acadians to settle in present-day Louisiana. French authorities, who still controlled the colony even though it had been ceded to Spain in a secret treaty two years earlier, had not expected these new arrivals. The Acadians' reputation for hard work and loyalty to France and the Catholic faith having preceded them, however, the colonial officials welcomed the Landrys et al., gave them rice, corn, and other necessities, and pondered where to send them. After overseeing the baptism of several of their children at New Orleans--including Olivier Landry's son Jean-Antoine--and consulting with authorities, the Acadians moved upriver to the recently-established concession of Cabanocé, later called St.-Jacques, where they settled on a bend in the Mississippi along the right, or west, bank, in "the area of the vacant lands between [Nicolas] Verret's plantation and [Jacques] Jacqueline's cow ranch," at present-day Lagan, St. James Parish. Cabanocé thus became the first Acadian settlement in Louisiana, predating the Bayou Teche settlement by a full year.
Olivier and Cécile had no more children in Louisiana. Their daughter married into the Thibodeaux family. Olivier died before April 1777, when his wife remarried at St.-Jacques. His younger son probably died young, but his older son carried on the family line.
Descendants of Joseph LANDRY (c1751-1811)
Joseph, elder son of Olivier Landry and Cécile Poirier, born at Chignecto in c1751, was deported to Georgia with his family in 1755. He moved with them to Charleston, South Carolina, in 1763, followed them back to Georgia, and went with them to Louisiana via Mobile, Alabama, in late 1763 and early 1764. He married Marie-Anne, called Anne, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean-Baptiste Cormier, père, at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques in c1768. Spanish officials counted them on the left, or east, bank of the river at St.-Jacques in 1777. Their daughters married into the Green, Poirier, Richard, and Theriot families. Joseph died in St. James Parish in January 1811; he was 60 years old. Only two of his five sons seem to have created families of their own.
1
Oldest son Joseph, fils, born probably at St.-Jacques in c1770, married Madeleine, daughter of fellow Acadian Pierre Michel, at St.-Jacques in February 1797. Their son Joseph III was born at St.-Jacques in September 1799, Pierre Léon in July 1805, and Jean Hildebert, Ildebert, or Philibert near Convent, St. James Parish, in May 1810. Their daughter married into the Thibodeaux family. Joseph, fils died near Convent in April 1835; 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 65 yrs.," so this probably was him.
1a
Joseph III married Anastasie, also called Octavie, daughter of French Creole Jacques Poché, at the Convent church in July 1825. Their son Joseph III was born near Convent in September 1828, Norbert Sylvert in July 1830, Joseph Philippe in January 1835, and Joseph Justin in August 1842. ...
1b
Hildebert married cousin Euphémie, daughter of Élie Landry of West Baton Rouge Parish, at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in April 1830, and remarried to Clémence, daughter of French Creole Gerasin Desormeaux, "at the home of Joseph Landry," probably his father, in St. James Parish in December 1835; the second marriage was recorded at both the St. James and Convent churches. Did Hildebert father any sons by either of his wives?
2
Pierre, baptized at St.-Jacques, age unrecorded, in March 1772, died in Assumption Parish, on upper Bayou Lafourche, in November 1815. He was 44 years old, a resident of St. James Parish, and never married.
3
Benjamin, baptized at St.-Jacques, age unrecorded, in February 1774, married cousin Anne-Apolline, called Apolline and Poulone, daughter of René Landry of Ascension, at St.-Jacques in April 1799; Apolline's mother, also, was a Landry. Their son Benjamin, fils was born at St. James in January 1804, and Placide in March 1808 but died the following August. Their daughters married into the Achée and Blanchard families. Apolline died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in April 1808; she was "age about 35 yrs." Benjamin remarried to cousin Marie Céleste, called Céleste, daughter of Anselme Landry and widow of Allain Babin and Amand Braud, at the St. James church, St. James Parish in November 1810. Their son Joseph Sylvère was born in St. James Parish in December 1815. Benjamin died in St. James Parish in March 1816; the priest who recorded his burial said that Benjamin was 45 years old when he died, but he was only in his early 40s.
Joseph Sylvère, called Sylvère, married Rosalie or Rosaline, daughter of Jacob Rebre of Germany, at the Plattenville church, Assumption Parish, in July 1835. They remained on upper Bayou Lafourche near the boundary of Assumption and Ascension parishes.
4
Jean-Baptiste, baptized at St.-Jacques, age unrecorded, in October 1779, may have died young.
5
Youngest son François, baptized at St.-Jacques, age unrecorded, in May 1781, may have died in St. James Parish in March 1816. The priest who recorded his burial said that Francois was "age about 40 yrs." when he died and mentioned no wife, so he may not have married.
Jean-Antoine LANDRY (1760-?)
Jean-Antoine, younger son of Olivier Landry and Cécile Poirier, born probably in Georgia in November 1760 and baptized at New Orleans in February 1764, soon after his family came to Louisiana from Georgia via Mobile, was still alive in 1766, when Spanish officials counted his family at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques. He then disappears from Louisiana church records, so he probably died young.
~
A year after the first Landrys came to Louisiana, a young widower, an orphan, and two wives reached New Orleans from Halifax via Cap-Français, St.-Domingue, with dozens of other former prisoners from Nova Scotia. They also settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, which soon was being called the Acadian Coast:
Osite Landry, age 32, came with husband Pierre Chiasson of Chignecto, age 35, her husband's brother Paul Chiasson, age 19, her husband's nephew Jean-Baptiste Chiasson, age 3, and two children, ages 6 and 1.
Marie Landry of La Famille, Pigiguit, age unrecorded, came with husband Joseph Bourg of Grand-Pré, age 43, brother-in-law Charles Bourg, age 3, and four children, ages 20 to 5. Joseph died either on the voyage from Halifax via St.-Domingue or in Louisiana soon after the family reached New Orleans. Marie remarried to François, son of fellow Acadian Paul Savoie of Chepoudy and widower of Anne Aucoin, at New Orleans in July 1765--one of the earliest Acadian marriages recorded in Louisiana. They settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, where Marie died by October 1766, when her husband remarried ... again.
Joseph Landry, age 26, a young widower, came with two sons, Joseph, fils, age 2, and Pierre, age 1. They remained at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques.
Another Marie Landry, who would have been only 13 in 1765, may have come to the colony from Halifax via St.-Domingue that year. She married fellow Acadian Charles Thibodeaux at Cabanocé in c1768, when she was only 16. They settled on the left, or east, bank of the river there.
Descendants of Joseph LANDRY (c1739-?)
Joseph, eldest son of Abraham Landry dit Petit Abram and his first wife Élisabeth LeBlanc, born probably at Pigiguit in c1739, eluded British forces in 1755 and took refuge probably on the Gulf of St. Lawrence shore. Meanwhile, his family was deported to Maryland. During Le Grand Dérangement, Joseph married a woman whose name has been lost to history. The British held them as prisoners in Nova Scotia in the early 1760s. At least two sons were born to them probably in Nova Scotia in c1763 and 1764. Joseph, probably a widower by then, took his two sons to Louisiana via St.-Domingue in 1765. They settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, where Joseph reunited with his father, stepmother, and siblings, who had come from Maryland, in 1766. Joseph remarried to Marie-Anne, called Anne, daughter of fellow Acadian Pierre Granger, at Cabanocé in August 1768. She gave him more children, including sons. Spanish officials counted them on the right, or west, bank of the river at Cabanocé in 1769 and on the same side of the river at nearby Ascension the following year and in 1777. Joseph remarried--his third marriage--to Marie, daughter of perhaps fellow Acadian Pierre Braud and widow of Olivier Babin and Pierre Foret, at Ascension in May 1782. In 1812, he "was a member of the Louisiana State Senate from the County of Acadia (now St. James and Ascension Parishes)." Only one of his many sons seems to have created a family of his own.
1
Oldest son Joseph, fils, by his first wife, born probably in Nova Scotia in c1763, may have died young.
2
Pierre, by his first wife, born probably in Nova Scotia in c1764, also may have died young.
3
Éloi, by his second wife, died at Ascension, age unrecorded, in October 1772.
4
Grégoire-Raphaël, by his second wife, died in Ascension 5 days after his birth in October 1773.
5
Guille or Guillaume-Raphaël, called Raphaël, from his second wife, born at Ascension in January 1775, married Marie-Madeleine, called Madeleine, daughter of fellow Acadian Paul Braud, at Ascension in November 1792. Their son Augustin- or Auguste-Valéry, called Valéry, was baptized at Ascension, age unrecorded, in September 1793, Polycarp was born in January 1802 but died at age 3 1/2 in September 1805, Henri was born in November 1808, and Terence Joseph posthumously in August 1815. Their daughters married into the Dupuis, Landry, and Tregle families. Raphaël died in Ascension Parish in April 1815; he was only 40 years old.
Valéry married cousin Constance Céleste or Célestine, called Céleste, daughter of Eusèbe Landry, at the Donaldson church, Ascension Parish, in June 1818. Their son Valéry Didier was born in Ascension Parish in May 1819. Céleste died a week after son Valéry Didier was born; she was only 19 years old. Valéry remarried to cousin Rose or Marie Hortense, called Hortense, daughter of Désiré Landry, at the Donaldson church in March 1822. Their son Auguste Dorcini was baptized at the Donaldsonville church, Ascension Parish, age 5 months, in January 1826, and Raphaël in April 1827 but died less than 2 weeks later. ...
Auguste Dorcini married Marie Roselia, daughter of fellow Acadian Alexandre Braud, at the Donaldsonville church, Ascension Parish, in February 1843. Their son Raphaël Dorcini was baptized at the Donaldsonville church, age unrecorded, in October 1845. ...
6
Youngest son François, by his second wife, born at Ascension in October 1779, died at age 11 months in September 1780.
~
A Landry who had gone to the Bayou Teche valley with the Broussard party in April 1765 lost his wife probably to childbirth a few months later, and his infant son died the following September. After his son's death, he joined dozens of his fellow Acadians in an exodus from the Teche to the river and settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, but his line did not survive:
Descendants of Mathurin LANDRY (c1737-1823?)
Mathurin Landry, born in Acadia in c1737, married Marie Dugas. They escaped the British roundup of 1755 and took refuge probably on the Gulf of St. Lawrence shore. In the early 1760s, the British held them as prisoners of war in Nova Scotia. They followed the Broussard dit Beausoleil party to Louisiana in late 1764 and early 1765 and went with them to Bayou Teche in April 1765. Marie died in the epidemic that swept through the Teche valley that summer and fall, or she may have died from childbirth. Their son was born in late July but died the following September, and Marie died three days after her son's birth. Mathurin did not remain on the Teche but retreated with dozens of other Tech valley Acadians to Cabanocé/St.-Jacques on the river and did not return to the western prairies. Spanish officials counted him on the right, or west, bank of the river at Cabanocé in April 1766; he was living with a widow and her sons, so he probably was an engagé. He remarried to a woman whose name has been lost to history probably at St.-Jacques in the early 1770s and moved upriver to St.-Gabriel, where Spanish officials counted him and his wife on the "right bank ascending" in 1777. By then, he was the father of two daughters, ages 10 and 6, and owned 3 slaves, 12 head of cattle, 14 hogs, and 20 chickens on his six arpents of frontage along the river. He may have died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in August 1823, age 86. His second wife does not seem to have given him any more sons. If so, his line of the family died with him.
Isidore, born at Attakapas in July 1765, died along the Teche the following September.
~
Most of the Landrys who came to Louisiana--at least 129 of them--immigrated from Maryland. The first, and largest, contingent from that colony reached New Orleans in September 1766. They settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, where their cousins from Georgia and Halifax already had gone. After the arrival of these Maryland exiles, the number of Landrys dramatically increased along the Acadian Coast:
Abraham dit Petit Abram Landry of Pigiguit, age 54, twice a widower, came with nine children--Étienne, age 24, Simon and Anne-Osite, age 22, Marguerite, age 15, Pierre-Abraham dit Pitre, age 14, Élisabeth, or Isabelle, age 12, Joseph dit Le Cadet, age 9, Marie-Madeleine, age 7, and Marie, age unrecorded. Petit Abram remarried to Claire, daughter of fellow Acadian Étienne Rivet and widow of Bonaventure Foret, probably at nearby Ascension in the 1770s. She gave him no more children. His daughters married into the Bourgeois, Broussard, and Duhon families, and perhaps into the Savoie family as well, and settled at Ascension and on upper Bayou Lafourche. His sons settled at Ascension. Petit Abram died at Ascension in August 1786; he was 74 years old.
Marie-Anastasie, called Anastasie, Landry of Pigiguit, age 18, Petit Abram's daughter, came with husband Amand Babin of Pigiguit, age 24, and two of his sisters, Élisabeth-Madeleine, age 22, and Marie-Josèphe, age unrecorded. They settled at Ascension, where Anastasie died in August 1795, in her late 40s.
René Landry of Pigiguit, age 50, Petit Abram's brother and also a widower, came with five children--Marin, age 18, Félicité, age 16, Olivier, age 13, Joseph dit Dios, age 9, and Firmin, age 6. René remarried to Anne, daughter of fellow Acadian Abraham Landry (not his brother) and widow of Jean-Baptiste Broussard, probably at Cabanocé in the late 1760s. She gave him more children, including another son. Daughter Félicité by his first wife married into the Babin and Melançon families.
Joseph Landry of Pigiguit, age 56, Petit Abram and René's older brother, came probably with one of his younger brothers. He was deaf and never married. He followed his brothers to Ascension.
Marie-Madeleine Landry of Pigiguit, age 43, sister of Petit Abram et al., came with husband Désiré LeBlanc of Grand-Pré, age 43, and 10 children, ages 24 to 4. They settled at Cabanocé and Ascension. Marie-Madeleine remarried to cousin Pierre dit Pierrot à Jaque, son of Abraham Landry and widower of Geneviève Broussard and Euphrosine Gautreaux, at St.-Jacques in February 1778.
Marie-Josèphe Bourg, age 52, widow of Joseph Landry, came with four children--Marie-Madeleine, called Madeleine, age 19, Marguerite, age 16, Anne-Gertrude, called Gertrude, age 15, and Joseph, fils, age 14. Marie-Josèphe did not remarry. Her daughters married into the Bijeaux/Bujole, Comes, LeBlanc, Melançon, Pichoux, and Sierra families. Daughter Gertrude moved to the western prairies in the late 1770s, but Marie-Josèphe's other daughters settled at Ascension, as did son Joseph. Daughter Madeleine, widow of Thomas Comes, Jérôme LeBlanc, and Jean Baptiste Pichoux, died at Ascension in October 1800, age 53. Daughter Marguerite, widow of Augustin Sierra and Joseph Melançon, died in Ascension Parish in October 1840, age 90.
Pierre dit Pierrot à Jaque Landry, age 45, yet another widower, came with six children--Jean, age 14, Osite, age 13, Jean-Baptiste and Isabelle, age 10, Firmin, age 7, and Paul, age 4. Pierrot à Jaque remarried to Euphrosine, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean Gautreaux and widow of Pierre Granger, probably at Cabanocé in the late 1760s, and remarried again--his third marriage--to Marie-Madeleine, daughter of fellow Acadian Abraham Landry and widow of Désiré LeBlanc, at St.-Jacques in February 1778. Neither wife gave him more children. Daughter Osite by his first wife married into the Bujole and Landry families and settled on upper Bayou Lafourche. Pierrot à Jaque owned 53 head of cattle, 8 horses, 55 swine, and 6 slaves on 11 arpents of frontage at Ascension in 1777, a remarkable number for an Acadian in that place and time. He died at Ascension in July 1791, age 70. His sons remained on the river.
François Landry of Pigiguit, age 44, another widower, came probably with three children--François, fils, age 25, Pélagie, age 17, and Joseph, age 8. François, père did not remarry and died at Ascension in February 1797, in his mid-80s. François, fils settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques. Pélagie married a Landry cousin and settled at Ascension. Joseph also married at St.-Jacques but settled on upper Bayou Lafourche.
Ursule Landry, age 42, widow of Jean-Baptiste Babin, came with three children, ages 18 to 10. They settled at Cabanocé and Ascension, but one of her daughters moved to the western prairies in the 1770s or 1780s.
Vincent Landry of Pigiguit, age 39, came with wife Susanne Godin, age 29, and their infant son Charles-Caliste. They had more children in Louisiana, including another son, and moved from the river to upper Bayou Lafourche by the early 1790s.
Pierre dit La Vielliarde Landry of Pigiguit, age 34, Vincent's brother and another widower, came with four children--Joseph, age 10, Anne-Isabelle, age 7, Pierre-Alexis, age 4, and Fabien, age 2. Pierre dit La Vielliarde remarried to cousin Marie-Josèphe, daughter of Paul Landry, at Cabanocé in November 1767. She gave him more children, including sons. They, too, moved to upper Bayou Lafourche. (Pierre dit La Vielliarde and his first wife are ancestors of alligator hunter Troy Landry of the History Channel's popular "Swamp People" series.)
Étienne Landry of Pigiguit, age 32, Vincent and Pierre dit La Vielliarde's youngest brother, came with second wife Marie-Josèphe Landry and daughter Anastasie, age 9. Marie-Josèphe was pregnant when they reached New Orleans; son Jean-Baptiste was born at Cabanocé in c1767. They had more children in Louisiana and also moved to upper Bayou Lafourche.
Firmin Landry, age 38, yet another widower, came with four children--Hélène, age 14, Joseph, age 13, Saturin, age 11, and Marie-Madeleine, age 9. Firmin remarried to fellow Acadian Théotiste Thibodeaux, widow of Bonaventure Godin, probably at St.-Jacques in c1770. They moved to the Attakapas District soon after their marriage and created a western branch of the family.
Marie-Rose, called Rose, Landry, age 36, came with husband Jean-Baptiste Breau of Pigiguit, age 41, and six children, ages 19 to 7. They settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques and Ascension. Rose died at St.-Jacques, a widow, in January 1796, in her late 60s.
Anne Landry of Minas, age 34, widow of Joseph Broussard, came with two sons, ages 14 and 6. She was pregnant when she got to New Orleans, and son Paul was born in the city the following November. Anne remarried to René, son of fellow Acadian Abraham Landry, probably at Cabanocé in the late 1760s. They settled at Ascension.
Anne Landry, age 29, came with husband Pierre LeBlanc, age 35, and their 7-year-old daughter. They also moved to Ascension, where Anne died in May 1808, a widow. The priest who recorded her burial said that Anne was 77 years old when she died, but she was closer to 71.

Désiré died in Ascension Parish in April 1823; the priest who recorded his burial said that Désiré was 43 years old when he died, but he was 41. He and his wife had no sons, so this line of the family, except of its blood, died with him.

Descendants of François LANDRY (?-1783?)
François, son of Charles Landry and Marie LeBlanc, born probably at Pigiguit, was deported with his family to Maryland in 1755. Colonial officials counted him and his siblings at Oxford, on Maryland's Eastern Shore, in July 1763. He followed his siblings to Louisiana in 1766 and settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, where he married fellow Acadian Marie-Rose LeBlanc in May 1768. François may have died at St.-Jacques in 1783.

Descendants of Joseph LANDRY (c1752-)
Joseph, son of Charles Landry and Marie LeBlanc, born probably at Pigiguit in c1752, was deported to Maryland with his family in 1755. Colonial officials counted him and his siblings at Oxford, on Maryland's Eastern Shore, in July 1763. He followed his older brother Jacques to Louisiana in 1766 and settled with him at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques. Spanish officials counted him with his brother's family on the left, or east, bank of the river at Cabanocé in 1769 and on the same side of the river at Ascension in 1770. He may have been the Joseph Landry who married first to Madeleine LeBlanc and then to Madeleine Babin, widow of Charles Babin, at Ascension in November 1781. One wonders if his line survived in the Bayou State.
Pierre, perhaps by his second wife, baptized at Ascension, age unrecorded, in December 1785, may have died young.

He married cousin Marie-Josèphe, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph Blanchard, at nearby St.-Gabriel in October 1788; Marie-Josèphe's mother was a Landry; Marie-Josèphe also was a sister of Jean's brother Jean-Baptiste's second wife. Their daughters married into the Bercegeay, Dannequin, Edwin, Gaudin, Hatkinson, Lavergne (French Creole, not Acadian), LeBlanc, and Richard families. Both of Jean's sons failed to create families of their own, so this line of the family, except for its blood, probably did not survive.

The second contingent of Landrys from Maryland--40 more members of the family--reached New Orleans in July 1767. Like the 1766 arrivals, these Landrys were from the Minas Basin and had been deported to Maryland in the fall of 1755. They would have preferred to join their fellow exiles from Maryland at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, 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 there, adding substantially to the number of Landrys on the Acadian Coast.

A third contingent of Landrys from Maryland reached New Orleans from Port Tobacco in February 1768 with the large extended family led by Alexis and Honoré Breau of Pigiguit. Governor Ulloa forced them to settle at Fort San Luìs de Natchez, north of Baton Rouge, far from their kinsmen on the Acadian Coast. A French-Creole-led revolt overthrew Ulloa in late 1768; the Breaus and their kinsmen no doubt applauded the ouster of the unpopular governor. Ulloa's successor, General Alejandro O'Reilly, at the head of a substantial military force from Cuba, established formal Spanish rule in the colony in the summer of 1769. He ordered the consolidation of Spanish defenses on the river and allowed the Acadians to leave Fort San Luìs de Natchez. After their release from the isolated settlement, the Landrys at Natchez moved downriver to St.-Gabriel, Ascension, and Cabanocé/St.-Jacques on the Acadian Coast, to upper Bayou Lafourche, and even to the western prairies:
Catherine Landry of Minas, age 48, widow of Antoine Babin, came with seven children, ages 22 to 4. They moved to Ascension.
Basile Landry of Pigiguit, age 41, came with wife Brigitte Boudrot, age 36, and two daughters--Susanne-Marie, age 12, and Madeleine, age 2. They moved to the Attakapas District.
Joseph Landry of Pigiguit, age 38, came with wife Marie-Madeleine Boudrot of Pigiguit, age 35, and three children--Joseph, fils, age 13, Simon, age 5, and Madeleine, age 3. They moved to Ascension, where Joseph, père died in the early 1770s.
Marie-Josèphe Landry, age 31, came with husband Joseph-Charles Breau of Pigiguit, age 34, and four children, ages 8 to infant. They moved to St.-Gabriel, where Marie-Josèphe died a widow in October 1807, age 70.
Mathurin Landry, age 34, came with wife Marie Babin, age 28, and two children--Marie-Ludivine, age 6, and Marcel, age 2. Mathurin remarried to cousin Anne Landry, widow of ____ Dugas, at New Orleans in c1768. They settled at Cabanocé and Ascension.
Marguerite Landry, age 33, widow of Simon-Pierre Breau, came with five daughters, ages 14 to infant. They settled on the Acadian Coast.
Marguerite Landry, age 32, came with husband Antoine Breau, age 32, and five children, ages 17 to 4. They settled at St.-Gabriel, where Marguerite died a widow in December 1790, age 54.
Rose-Osite, called Osite, Landry, age 30, widow of Janvier Breau, came with three daughters, ages 5 to infancy. Her daughters settled at St.-Gabriel and Ascension.
Seven unmarried siblings, children of Joseph Landry of Minas--Madeleine, age 28, Augustin, age 25, Geneviève, age 23, Cécile, age 21, Alexandre, age 18, Pierre, age 16, and Anne-Madeleine, age 14--came to the colony together. They settled at St.-Gabriel and St.-Jacques. Madeleine married an Hébert, Geneviève a Bellot, Cécile a Rivet, and Anne-Madeleine a LeBlanc. Madeleine died at St.-Gabriel in March 1788, in her late 40s.
Anne Landry, widow of ____ Dugas, would have been 22 years old in 1768. She married cousin Mathurin, son of Abraham Landry, at New Orleans in c1768 and settled with him at Cabanocé and then at Ascension. Mathurin came to Louisiana from Maryland in 1786, so she, too, may have come to the colony with the Breau party.
Descendants of Mathurin LANDRY (c1734-1806)
Mathurin, second son of Abraham dit Petit Abram Landry and his first wife Élisabeth LeBlanc, born probably at Pigiguit in c1734, was deported with his family to Maryland in 1755. He married fellow Acadian Marie Babin probably in Maryland in the late 1750s or early 1760s. Colonial officials counted him, his wife, and a daughter at Port Tobacco, on the lower Potomac River, in July 1763. They came to Louisiana in 1768 with the party led by the Breau brothers of Pigiguit and were forced to settled at San Luìs de Natchez. Their daughter married into the Dupuy family. Mathurin remarried to cousin Anne Landry, widow of ____ Dugas, at New Orleans in c1768. When the Spanish released the Acadians from Natchez in 1769, Mathurin and Anne settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, where Spanish officials counted them on the right, or west, bank of the river in 1769 and on the same side of the river at nearby Ascension in 1770 and 1777; they owned a single slave in 1777. Their daughters married into the Braud, Bujole, Comes, Dannequin, Dugas, and Gibosset families. Mathurin, serving as a private in the Ascension company of militia, may have been one of only two soldiers wounded in Spanish Governor Gálvez's campaign against the British at Manchac and Baton Rouge in September 1779; if so, he survived his wound. He died near St. Gabriel in 1806; the priest who recorded his burial said that Mathurin was 73 years old when he died. Only one of his two sons seems to have created a family of his own.
1
Older son Marcel, by his first wife, born in Maryland in c1766, probably died young.
2
Younger son Joseph-Nicolas, by his second wife, born at Ascension in September 1774, married Susanne Marie Josèphe, daughter of Frenchman Thomas Houardon Calegan, at Ascension in January 1804; Susanne's mother was a LePrince. Susanne, born in Morlaix, France, had come to Louisiana aboard Le St.-Rémi, the fourth of the Seven Ships, with her mother and maternal grandparents in 1785. Their son Joseph Raymond Tranquille Mathurin, called Joseph Mathurin, was born at Ascension in July 1806, Joseph Ovide, called Ovide, in August 1808 but died at age 15 in August 1823, and Joseph Nicolas, fils, called Nicolas, was born in January 1821. Their daughters married Gonzales brothers. Joseph Nicolas, père died in Ascension Parish in November 1827; he was only 53 years old. His youngest son settled on upper Bayou Lafourche, but his oldest son remained in Ascension Parish.
2a
Joseph Mathurin married cousin Gertrude Melitine, daughter of Simon Béloni Landry, at the Donaldsonville church, Ascension Parish, in January 1828. Their son Joseph Thomas was born in Ascension Parish in October 1828. Joseph Mathurin, called Joseph Nicolas by the recording priest, died in Ascension Parish in October 1829; he was only 23 years old.
2b
Joseph Nicolas, fils married Marie Carmelite, daughter of Spanish Creole Manuel Suarez, at the Paincourtville church, Assumption Parish, in February 1840. They remained on upper Bayou Lafourche.
Descendants of Augustin LANDRY (c1743-1791)
Augustin, eldest son of Joseph Landry and Marie-Josèphe Richard, born probably at Grand-Pré in c1743, was deported with his family to Maryland in 1755. Colonial officials counted him with his family at Port Tobacco, on the lower Potomac River, in July 1763. He and six of his siblings came to Louisiana in 1768 with the party led by the Breau brothers of Pigiguit and were forced to settled at San Luìs de Natchez. When the Spanish released them from Natchez in 1769, he moved to St.-Gabriel, where he married fellow Acadian Anne-Marie, called Marie, Foret in the early 1770s. Their daughters married into the Hébert and Melançon families. Augustin remarried to cousin Isabelle, daughter of Pierre Landry, at St.-Gabriel in August 1786. Augustin died at St.-Gabriel in March 1791; he was only 48 years old. His only son does not seem to have created a family of his own, so, except for its blood, this line of the family probably died with him.
Simon, baptized at St.-Jacques, age unrecorded, in June 1777, may have died young.
Descendants of Alexandre LANDRY (c1750-1822)
Alexandre, second son of Joseph Landry and Marie-Josèphe Richard, born probably at Grand-Pré in c1750, was deported with his family to Maryland in 1755. Colonial officials counted them at Port Tobacco, on the lower Potomac River, in July 1763. He and six of his siblings came to Louisiana in 1768 with the party led by the Breau brothers of Pigiguit and were forced to settled at San Luìs de Natchez. When the Spanish released them from Natchez in 1769, he moved to St.-Gabriel, where he married Marie-Modeste, called Modeste, daughter of fellow Acadian Amable Hébert, in February 1786. Their daughters married into the Hébert, Lanclos, and Rivet families. One daughter settled on the western prairies. Alexandre died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in November 1822; the priest who recorded his burial said that Alexandre was 70 years old when he died, but he was closer to 72.

Their daughters married into the Cox, Landry, and Rivet families. David died near St. Gabriel in November 1822; the priest who recorded his burial said that David was 28 years old when he died, but he was 32. He and his wife probably had no sons, so this line of the family, except for its blood, died with him.
3
Youngest son Mathurin, born near St.-Gabriel in July 1794, married Marie Adèle or Azélie, daughter of fellow Acadian Arsène Braud, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in February 1821.

Colonial officials counted him with his family at Port Tobacco, on the lower Potomac River, in July 1763. He and his family came to Louisiana in 1768 with the party led by the Breau brothers of Pigiguit and were forced to settled at San Luìs de Natchez. When the Spanish released them from Natchez in 1769, he moved to St.-Jacques, where he married Marie-Madeleine, called Madeleine, daughter of fellow Acadian Bonaventure Foret, in February 1777. They settled at nearby St.-Gabriel. Pierre died by November 1781, when his wife remarried at St.-Gabriel. Did he father any sons?
Descendants of Simon LANDRY (c1763-)
Simon, younger son of Joseph Landry and Marie-Madeleine Boudrot, was born in Maryland in c1763. Colonial officials counted him with his family at Upper Marlborough in July 1763. He and his family came to Louisiana in 1768 with the party led by the Breau brothers of Pigiguit and were forced to settle at San Luìs de Natchez. Simon may have married fellow Acadian Françoise Trahan at Ascension in May 1787. ...
~
The arrival dates of at least two Landrys who came to Louisiana in the 1760s and settled on the river are difficult to determine:
Rose Landry, age unrecorded, a widow whose husband's name may be lost to history, came with three daughters, Madeleine, Marguerite, and Marie, ages unrecorded. Where they settled is anyone's guess.
Marie Landry, born in c1752, married fellow Acadian Charles Thibodeaux probably at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques in c1768. Spanish officials counted them on the left, or east, bank of the river at St.-Jacques in 1777. She and her family settled at nearby St.-Gabriel, where she died in June 1798, in her mid-40s.
~
A generation after the first Landry family reached the colony, dozens more came to Louisiana from France in 1785. These were Landrys 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 Landrys from Pigiguit, Cobeguit, and Île St.-Jean whom the British had deported to France in 1758-59. After enduring a quarter century of neglect in the mother county, they took up the Spanish government's offer to start a new life in Louisiana. Fifty-four of them came to Louisiana aboard five of the Seven Ships. Most of them chose to go to upper Bayou Lafourche, but some of them settled on the river:
Charles Landry of Pigiguit, age 56, crossed on Le Bon Papa, the first of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in late July. With him were wife Marguerite Boudrot of Pigiguit, age 48, and seven children--Firmin-Pancrace, age 22, Marguerite-Françoise, age 19, Jean-Sébastien dit Bastien, age 18, Louis-Abel, age 14, Jean-Jacques, age 11, Charles, fils, age 8, and François, age 6. They followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to Manchac, south of Baton Rouge. Charles, père and Marguerite had no more children in Louisiana. Daughter Marguerite-Françoise married into the Breaux and Guidry families and settled at Manchac and at nearby Ascension, where she died in September 1801, in her late 30s. Charles, père died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in March 1814; he was 84 years old. Most of his sons moved on to upper Bayou Lafourche.
Anselme Landry, age 42, crossed on Le Bon Papa with wife Agathe Barrieau, age 50, and no children. They had no more children in Louisiana. They also moved on to upper Bayou Lafourche.
Marie-Olive Landry, age 18, Anselme's daughter, crossed on Le Bon Papa with husband Paul-Dominique Boudrot, age 22, and their year-old son. They moved on to upper Bayou Lafourche.
.
René Landry, age 53, a widower, crossed on La Ville d'Archangel, the sixth of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in early December. With him were brother-in-law Paul Babin, age 52, and eight children--Marie-Madeleine, age 23, Servanne-Laurence, age 20, Jean-Baptiste-Raphaël, age 18, Marguerite-Josèphe, age 16, Anne-Marie-Jeanne, age 12, Pierre, age 19, Joseph-Marie, age 7, and Jeanne-Guillemette, age 4. They followed the majority of the passengers from their ship to the new Acadian community of Bayou des Écores, north of Baton Rouge, before moving down to the Baton Rouge area a few years later. René never remarried. His daughters married into the Daigre, Doucet, Guidry, and Raffray families. Most of them remained on the river, as did his sons. One of his daughters moved to the western prairies.
Marie-Anne Landry, age 17, crossed on La Ville d'Archangel with her mother, Anne Thériot, age 36, widow of Joseph Granger, and five stepsiblings, ages 20 to 6. They moved on to Manchac, south of Baton Rouge, where Marie-Anne married Canary Islander André Martinez in May 1794. He probably was from the nearby Isleños community of Galveztown. Marie-Anne may have died near Brusly, West Baton Rouge Parish, in November 1847; the priest who recorded her burial, and who did not bother to give any parents' names or even mention a husband, said that Marie Anne died at "age 75 yrs.," but this Marie Anne would have been 79.
.
Pierre-Joseph Landry, age 15, came from France in 1785 but does not appear on any of Seven Ships passenger lists. He settled at Manchac and became a prominent member of the community.
.
Most of the Landrys who went to river communities in 1785 moved on to upper Bayou Lafourche, but a few remained on the river, at Manchac, Baton Rouge, and St.-Gabriel. One line, that of Pierre-Joseph of St.-Gabriel, was especially vigorous:
Firmin-Pancrace LANDRY (1762-1813)
Firmin-Pancrace, eldest son of Charles Landry and Marguerite Boudrot, born at St.-Servan, France, near St.-Malo, in May 1762, came to Louisiana with his family aboard Le Bon Papa, the first of the Seven Ships, in 1785. They settled at Manchac, south of Baton Rouge, where he married Marie-Anne, daughter of fellow Acadian Firmin Babin, in October 1790. Marie-Anne was a native of Louisiana. Firmin died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in October 1813; he was only 51 years old. He and his wife may have been that rare Acadian couple who had no children.
Louis-Abel LANDRY (1771-1822)
Louis-Abel, third son of Charles Landry and Marguerite Boudrot, born at St.-Servan, France, near St.-Malo, in April 1771, came to Louisiana with his family aboard Le Bon Papa, the first of the Seven Ships, in 1785. They settled at Manchac, south of Baton Rouge. Louis died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in November 1822; he was only 51 years old. The priest who recorded his burial said nothing about a wife for Louis, so he probably never married.
Jean-Baptiste-Raphaël LANDRY (1767-?)
Jean-Baptiste-Raphaël, eldest son of René Landry and Marguerite Babin, born at St.-Servan, France, near St.-Malo, in February 1767, came to Louisiana with his family aboard La Ville d'Archangel, the sixth of the Seven Ships, in 1785. They settled at the new Acadian community of Bayou des Écores, north of Baton Rouge. Jean-Baptiste-Raphaël may have died young.
Descendants of Pierre LANDRY (c1776-)
Pierre, second son of René Landry and Marguerite Babin, born probably at St.-Servan, France, near St.-Malo, in c1776, came to Louisiana with his family aboard La Ville d'Archangel, the sixth of the Seven Ships, in 1785. They settled at the new Acadian community of Bayou des Écores, north of Baton Rouge, before moving downriver to the Baton Rouge area, where Pierre married Victoire-Eulalie, called Eulalie, daughter of fellow Acadian Olivier Daigre, in February 1802. Eulalie had come to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships. Their daughter married into the Henry and Trahan families. ...
Pierre Julien, called Julien, born near Baton Rouge in October 1804, married Marguerite, daughter of Spanish Creole Joseph Martinez, at the Baton Rouge church, East Baton Rouge Parish, in February 1827. Their son Philippe was born near Baton Rouge in May 1828, Hermogène near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in August 1829, Théodore near Baton Rouge in March 1831, and Alcidonis Fare, also called Alcide Onésiphore, in December 1832. ...

Pierre-Joseph, called Joseph, son of Pierre Landry and Marie-Josèphe Hébert of Minas, born at St.-Servan, France, near St.-Malo, in January 1770, came to Louisiana in 1785 probably aboard one of the Seven Ships. He married Marie-Scholastique, called Scholastique, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph-Charles Braud, at St.-Gabriel in June 1790. Scholastique was a native of Louisiana. Pierre Joseph remarried to Madeleine or Marguerite Rosalie or Rosalie Marguerite, called Rosalie and Eulalie, daughter of French Creole Bernard Capdeville, at St. Gabriel in January 1804; Rosalie's mother was a Clouâtre. Their daughters married into the Boush or Bush, Braud, Capdeville, and Rivière families. During the War of 1812, Pierre-Joseph served as a captain of the 8th Company of Meriam's Regiment of Louisiana Militia; after the war, his contemporaries referred to him as Captain. He also was an artistic woodworker. Pierre Joseph died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in March 1843; he was 73 years old. He fathered nearly a dozen sons by his two wives. Most of his sons created families of their own. A plaque highlighting his life and accomplishments stands in the cemetery behind the old church at St. Gabriel.

Other LANDRYs on the River
Area church and civil records make it difficult to link many Landrys on the river with known lines of the family there. For decades--well into the antebellum period, in fact--the priests at Donaldsonville and St. Gabriel were especially negligent in their recordkeeping:
Isaac Landry married fellow Acadian Anne Aucoin and settled near Baton Rouge. Their daughter married into the Daigle family.
Joseph Landry married fellow Acadian Anne-Marthe Blanchard and settled near Baton Rouge. Their daughter married into the Hébert family.
Joseph Landry married fellow Acadian Anastasie LeBlanc and settled at Ascension. Their daughter married into the Theriot family.
Pierre Landry married fellow Acadian Anne Theriot and settled near Baton Rouge. Their daughter married into the Dupuis family.
Joseph-Athanase Landry married fellow Acadian Madeleine Babin. Their daughter married into the Theriot family. Joseph Athanase died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in May 1815. The priest who recorded his burial, and did not bother to give his parents' names or even mention a wife, said that Joseph Athanse, as he called him, died at "age 40 yrs."
____ Landry married _____ Gomez at New Orleans in January 1768. One wonders if this was Marie-Madeleine, daughter of Joseph Landry, who married ship's surgeon Thomas Comes at New Orleans in 1768.
Augustin-Pierre Landry died at Ascension in February 1784. He was only 3 years old. The priest who recorded the boy's burial did not bother to give the parents' names.
Anselme Landry married fellow Acadian Françoise Blanchard and settled at Ascension. Their son Rénard was baptized at Ascension, age unrecorded, in January 1786. Their daughter Françoise married into the Babin and Braud families.
Ursule Landry died at Ascension in January 1786. The priest who recorded her burial did not say anything more about her--no parents' names, no husband's name if she had one, no age at the time of her death, only her name and the date of her burial.
Isabelle Landry died at Ascension in October 1786. Again, the priest who recorded her burial did not bother to say anything more about her--no parents' names, no husband's name if she had one, no age at the time of her death, only her name and the date of her burial.
Jean Landry married fellow Acadian Anne Mire and settled at Ascension in the late 1780s.
René-Marie, son of Pierre Landry and Marie ____, was baptized at Ascension, age unrecorded, in January 1788. The priest who recorded his burial duly noted the boy's parents' names, but the ravages of time damaged the old parish register, and René-Marie's mother's surname was obliterated. Which Pierre Landry was his father?
Madeleine Landry gave birth to a son, name unrecorded, at Ascension, but the boy died an infant in August 1788. The priest who recorded the infant's burial did not give the father's name.
Marie Landry died at Ascension in January 1790. The priest who recorded her burial noted that she was 72 years old, but he did not give her parents' names or mention a husband.
Marguerite, daughter of Athanase Landry, married François-Xavier _____, son of Joseph _____ and Anne Hébert of St.-Malo, France, at St.-Gabriel in July 1790. Unfortunately, the collection of sacramental records for the Diocese of Baton Rouge, from which this marriage record is taken, fails to give the groom's surname.
Joseph Landry died at Ascension in October 1790. He was only 19 months old. The priest who recorded the boy's burial did not give the parents' names.
Marguerite-Apolline, called Apolline, daughter of Joseph Landry, married Simon-Raphaël, son of fellow Acadian Amand Babin, at Ascension in January 1796. The priest who recorded the marriage did not bother to include the parents' names, which were obtained from other records. One wonders if Marguerite-Apolline was an immigrant or a native of Louisiana.
Anne Landry died at Ascension in August 1804. The priest who recorded her burial did not give her age or her parents' names or mention a husband. One wonders if she was an immigrant or a native of Louisiana.
Joseph Landry, "called Chinoua," died at Ascension in March 1805. The priest who recorded his burial, and who did not give his parents' names or mention a wife, said that Joseph dit Chinoua was 51 years old when he died.
Marie Marthe, daughter of Joseph Landry, married Antoine, son of French Creole Louis Léonard, at St.-Gabriel in February 1806. The priest who recorded the marriage did not give Marie Marthe's mother's name, so one wonders which Joseph Landry was her father.
Augustin, son of Joseph Landry "of Plaquemine settlement," died probably at Plaquemine, present-day Iberville Parish, in March 1806. He was only 20 years old and probably did not marry. The St. Gabriel priest who recorded his burial did not give Augustin's mother's name, so one wonders which Joseph Landry was his father.
Pierre, son of Joseph Landry "of Plaquemine settlement," died probably at Plaquemine, present-day Iberville Parish, in April 1806. He was only 23 years old and probably did not marry. The St. Gabriel priest who recorded his burial did not give Pierre's mother's name, so, again, one wonders which Joseph Landry was his father.
Joseph Landry, "age 50 of Plaquemine settlement," died probably at Plaquemine, present-day Iberville Parish, in August 1806. The St. Gabriel priest who recorded this Joseph's burial did not give his parents' names or mention a wife. One wonders if he was Augustin and Pierre's father.
Joseph Landry, "age 46, res. of Plaquemine settlement," died probably at Plaquemine, present-day Iberville Parish, in September 1806. The St. Gabriel priest who recorded this Joseph's burial did not give his parents' names or mention a wife. One wonders if he was Augustin's and Pierre's father.
Siméon Landry died in Ascension Parish 7 days after his birth in February 1808. The priest who recorded the boy's burial did not give the parents' names.
Pierre Landry married fellow Acadian Anne Gautreaux. Their son Pierre, fils married Marie Rosalie, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean Templet, at Baton Rouge in June 1808.
Joseph Landry, "dit Jones, age 50, from Attakapas District," died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in January 1809. The priest who recorded Joseph's burial did not give his parents' names or mention a wife.
Marie, daughter of René Landry and ____ LeBlanc, died in Ascension Parish in October 1809. The recording priest noted that she was "nat. Acadia" and 56 years old when she died, but he did not mention a husband. Who was she?
Nicolas Landry married Marguerite Chinon. Their son, name unrecorded, died in Ascension Parish, age 4 months, in January 1812. Was Marguerite kin to Joseph Landry dit Chinoua?
____ Landry, "Husband of Tamy Landry," died in Ascension Parish in February 1815. This is all that the priest recorded.
Jean Baptiste Landry, an orphan, was baptized at the Donaldson church, Ascension Parish, at age 8 in July 1817. The priest who recorded the boy's baptism did not give the parents' names.
Félix Landry was baptized at the Donaldson church, Ascension Parish, 5 or 6 days after his birth in September 1817. The priest who recorded the boy's baptism did not give the parents' names.
François, son of Jean Landry and Anne Landry, married Marguerite, daughter of Jean Lun. Their son Élias was born near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in May 1824.
Victorine Landry married Philippe, son of fellow Acadian Jean Charles Comeaux, at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in February 1825. The priest who recorded the marriage did not give the bride's parents' names.
Donat Landry married Ludivine LeBlanc and died by June 1825, when his wife remarried in Ascension Parish. Was he the Donat Landry who died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, at age 70 in March 1824? If he was that Donat, and the priest recorded his age correctly, he would have born in c1754--in Acadia. No Donat Landry appears on the Acadian Memorial's Wall of Names, however, so the age is probably exaggerated.
Séverin Landry died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in July 1826. He was only 3 years old. The priest who recorded the boy's burial did give the parents' names.
Raphaël Landry died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in October 1828. Their priest who recorded his burial did not give Raphaël's parents' names, mention a wife, or even give his age at the time of his death.
Ferdinand Landry died in Ascension Parish at age 1 in January 1829. The Donaldsonville priest who recorded the boy's burial did not give the parents' names. One wonders if the boy's parents were Ferdinand Landry and Clarisse Landry.
Irma Landry married Joseph Garlick at the St. Gabriel church, Iberville Parish, in January 1830. The priest who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names.
Joseph Jonny Landry died in Ascension Parish in February 1832. The Donaldsonville priest who recorded his burial, and who did not give his parents' names or mention a wife, said that Joseph Jonny was 30 years old when he died.
Pierre, son of Joseph Landry, died in Ascension Parish, age 3, in March 1834. The Donaldsonville priest who recorded the boy's burial did not give his mother's name.
Raphaël Landry died in Ascension Parish at age 3 in September 1834. The Donaldsonville priest who recorded the boy's burial did not give the parents' names.
Firmin Landry married cousin Marie Felonise or Léonise Landry. Their son Joseph Audibert was born in Ascension Parish in January 1835.
Rosémond Landry died in Ascension Parish in March 1835. The Donaldsonville priest who recorded his burial, and who did not give his parents' names or mention a wife, said that Rosémond was 25 years old when he died.
Désiré Landry married fellow Acadian Phelonise Dugas. Their son Jacques Théodule was born in Ascension Parish in May 1835.
Émilie, perhaps Émile, Simon Théodore Landry died in Ascension Parish in September 1835. The Donaldsonville priest who recorded the burial said that "Émilie" was 23 years old when she/he died but did not give any parents' names or mention a husband or wife.
Valéry Landry died in Ascension Parish in October 1835. The Donaldsonville priest who recorded his burial, and who did not bother to give any parents' names or mention a wife, said that Valéry was 26 years old when he died.
Clementine Landry married 21-year-old François Tolmer at the Donaldsonville church, Ascension Parish, in October 1835. The priest who recorded the marriage did not give the couple's parents' names.
Jean Landry married fellow Acadian Céleste Arceneaux. Their son Victorin Martin was born in Ascension Parish in July 1836.
Isidore Landry died in Ascension Parish in March 1837. He was only a year old. The Donaldsonville priest who recorded the boy's burial did not give the parents' names.
Raphaël, son of Édouard Landry, died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in January 1838. He was only 18 years old when he died and probably did not marry. The priest who recorded Raphaël's burial did not give his mother's name.
Trasimond Landry died in Ascension Parish in November 1839. The Donaldsonville priest who recorded the burial, and who did not bother to give any parents' names or mention a wife, said that Trasimond was 24 years old when he died.
Marie Iréné Landry, wife of Pierre Landry, died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in December 1840, age 56. Which Pierre Landry was this, and who were Marie Iréné's parents?
Delmire Landry gave birth to son Pierre Onésiphore probably in Iberville Parish in December 1840. The St. Gabriel priest who recorded the boy's baptism in June 1846 did not give the father's name. (I am assuming that Delmire is a feminine name.)
Marguerite Landry's son Victor died near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, in October 1841. The priest who recorded the burial, and who did not give a father's name or mention a wife, said that Victor died at "age ca. 26 years." Did Victor ever marry?
Joseph Trasimond, called Trasimond, Landry married cousin Marie Ameline or Amelina Landry and settled in West Baton Rouge Parish by the early 1840s.
Norbert, perhaps also called Lambert, Landry married cousin Eliza or Elisa Cécile Landry and settled near the boundary of Iberville and Ascension parishes by the early 1840s.

Joseph Landry died in Ascension Parish in August 1844. The Donaldsonville priest who recorded the burial, and who did not bother to give any parents' names or even mention a wife, said that Joseph died at "age 36 years."

At least two Landry family lines on the river cannot be linked by local church records to any of the other Landrys in the area:
Descendants of Éloi Joseph LANDRY (?-)
Éloi Joseph Landry married fellow Acadian Madeleine Cidalise or Sidalise Babin, also called a Landry, probably in Iberville Parish during the early antebellum period. Their daughter married into the Babin family. ...
1
Older son Norbert "of Iberville," as the recording priest called him, married first cousin Elisa, daughter of Auguste Hyacinthe Landry, at the Donaldsonville church, Ascension Parish, in October 1839; Elisa's mother was a Babin; they had to secure a dispensation for second degree of consanguinity in order to marry. Their son Eustache Butler was born in Ascension Parish in September 1845. ...
2
Joseph Napoléon, born in Ascension Parish in October 1833, ...
Descendants of Gédéon LANDRY (?-)
Gédéon Landry married fellow Acadian Marie Zulma, called Zulma, Melançon probably in Ascension Parish in the late 1820s. None of the baptismal/burial records of their children give a clue who Gédéon's parents may have been. Gédéon and Zulma had many sons, but nearly all of them died young. One wonders why.

Oldest son Martin was born in Ascension Parish in November 1830 but died at age 5 months in May 1831.
2
Joseph Joachim, born in Ascension Parish in February 1832, ...
3
Joseph Dernon or Dornon was born in Ascension Parish in July 1833 but died at age 13 months in August 1834.

Gédéon Victor was born in Ascension Parish in November 1836 but died at age 16 months in March 1838.
5
Joseph Valsin was born in Ascension Parish in July 1844 but died the following November.
6
Joseph Privat Destival was born in Ascension Parish in August 1845 but died at age 2 in October 1847.
LOUISIANA: WESTERN SETTLEMENTS
The first Landrys to settle on the western prairies--a young husband and two young girls--came to Louisiana from Halifax via Cap-Français, St.-Domingue, with the Broussard dit Beausoleil party, which reached New Orleans in February 1765. They followed the Broussards to Bayou Teche, but the young husband did not remain there:
Mathurin Landry, age 28, came with wife Marie Dugas. Marie was pregnant when they reached Louisiana and gave birth to a son, Isidore, on the Teche in late July 1765. She died two days after Isidore was born, probably from complications of childbirth. Isidore died the following September, perhaps a victim of the epidemic that killed dozens of Teche Acadians that summer and fall. After his son died, Mathurin fled with dozens of his fellow Acadians to Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, where Spanish officials counted him on the right, or west, bank of the Mississippi in April 1766. He did not return to the western prairies but remained with his kinsmen on the river.
Anne Landry, age 11, and her sister Isabelle, age unrecorded, daughters of Jean Landry, came with their mother Madeleine Broussard, age unrecorded, and stepfather Olivier Thibodeau, age 32. Their mother died giving birth to their half-sister Marguerite-Anne Thibodeau only a few weeks after they settled on Bayou Teche; their mother and sister, in fact, were the first Acadians to die west of the Atchafalaya Basin. Anne married Joseph, son of fellow Acadian Michel Doucet, at Attakapas in July 1772. Isabelle may have died young.
~
It did not take the Landrys long to re-establish a western branch of the family. In c1770, an exile from Maryland left St.-Jacques on the river and settled in the Attakapas District:
Descendants of Firmin LANDRY (c1728-1801)
Firmin, son of Alexandre Landry, born probably at Minas in c1728, married Élisabeth-Françoise Thibodeau in c1752. The British deported them to Maryland in 1755. Colonial officials counted them at Oxford, on Maryland's Eastern Shore, in July 1763. Firmin came to Louisiana in 1766, a widower, settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, and remarried to fellow Acadian Théotiste Thibodeaux, widow of Bonaventure Godin, in c1769. She gave him more children, including sons. Soon after their marriage, they moved to the western prairies, the first Landry family to go there and remain. They settled on upper Bayou Vermilion near Grand Pointe and at Fausse Pointe on lower Bayou Teche near present-day New Iberia. Their daughters married into the Boudreaux, Broussard dit Beausoleil, Lapointe, Louviere, Perault, Quebedeaux, and Ransonet families. Firmin "died suddenly" at Attakapas in February 1801; the priest who recorded his burial said that Firmin was "60 and 16 years," or 76 years old, when he died.

From the 1770s into the 1790s, other Landrys who had come to Louisiana from Maryland left the river, settled on the western prairies, and added to what was becoming a significant center of family settlement:
Isabelle Landry, a widow, died at Attakapas in December 1787. The priest who recorded her burial, and who did not bother to give her parents' names or even her dead husband's name, said that she was 53 years old when she died.
Isabelle Landry, widow of Mathurin Richard, died in St. Landry Parish in April 1813, in her late 70s.
Anne Landry, widow of Augustin Broussard, died at her son's home on the Vermilion in September 1814, in her early 70s.

Descendants of Basile LANDRY (c1727-1788)
Basile, second son of Pierre Landry and Marguerite Forest, born at Ste.-Famille, Pigiguit, in May 1727, married Brigitte, daughter of Pierre Boudrot, in c1753. The British deported them to Maryland in 1755. Colonial officials counted them at Upper Marlborough in July 1763. They came to Louisiana in 1768 with the party led by the Breau brothers of Pigiguit and were forced to settled at San Luìs de Natchez. After the Spanish released them from Natchez, they moved to the Attakapas District. Their daughter married into the Roger dit Brisbois (French Canadian, not Acadian) family. Basile remarried to Anne-Euphrosine, also called Françoise, daughter of fellow Acadian Michel Vincent and widow of Michel Trahan, at Attakapas in May 1786. Basile died at Attakapas in March 1788; he was 60 years old. He seems to have had no sons who survived to create families of their own, so his line of the family, except for its blood, probably died with him.
Descendants of Pierre-Amand LANDRY (c1746-1793)
Pierre-Amand, called Amand, son of Charles Landry and Marie LeBlanc, born probably at Pigiguit in c1746, was deported with his family to Maryland in 1755. Colonial officials counted him and his siblings at Oxford, on Maryland's Eastern Shore, in July 1763. He followed his siblings to Louisiana in 1766 and settled at Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, where he married Marguerite, daughter of fellow Acadian Pierre Melançon, in c1768. Spanish officials counted them on the right, or west, bank of the river at Cabanocé in 1769 and on the same side of the river at nearby Ascension in 1770. Probably following his sister Pélagie, who married a son of Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil, they moved to the Attakapas District in the 1770s and settled at Côte Gelée. In 1785, they owned a single slave at Attakapas. Their daughters married into the Broussard and Granger families. Amand remarried to cousin Élisabeth-, or Isabelle-Augustine, daughter of Jean-Baptiste Landry and widow of Joseph Dugas, at Attakapas in August 1789. Élisabeth was a native of France and had come to Louisiana aboard La Bergère, one of the Seven Ships, in 1785. Their daughter married into the Melançon family. A tutor was appointed for Amand's children in May 1793. Amand died at Attakapas in November 1793; the priest who recorded his burial said that Amand was 55 years old when he died, but he was closer to 47. Perhaps he had been ill for a long time.

Vital died at his home at Côte Gelée in January 1805; he was only 34 years old; his succession record was filed at the St. Martinville courthouse, St. Martin Parish, in September 1808. He and his wife had no sons, so his line of the family, except for its blood, died with him.

Pierre, fils was supposed to have married Marie Azélie, daughter of fellow Acadian Édouard Comeaux, at the Vermilionville church, Lafayette Parish, in December 1841. The marriage record states that "This entry was scratched," for what reason it does not say. ...
Descendants of Basile LANDRY (c1750-1811)
Basile, son Vincent Landry and Marguerite Boudrot, born probably at Grand-Pré in c1750, was deported with his family to Maryland in 1755.

He married Marie-Anastasie, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph Richard, at St.-Jacques in November 1776. Spanish officials counted them on the right, or west, bank of the river at Ascension in 1777. They moved to the Attakapas District in the late 1770s or early 1780s and settled at Côte Gelée and along the Vermilion.

Basile and Marie-Anne's other daughters married into the Broussard, Frederick, Hébert, Taylor, Trahan, and Vincent families. Basile died "at the home of Jean Baptiste Broussard at Côte Gelée" in November 1811; the priest who recorded his burial said that Basile was 56 years old when he died, but he was closer to 61. One wonders why he did not die at his own home. His succession record was filed at the St. Martinville courthouse, St. Martin Parish, in December 1811.

A few of the Landrys who came to Louisiana from France in 1785 chose to settle on the western prairies:

They had no more children in Louisiana. Jean-Baptiste, père died at Attakapas in October 1787; the priest who recorded his burial said that Jean-Baptiste was 60 years old when he died, but he was 62. The succession record of daughter Élisabeth Augustine, widow of Joseph Dugas and Amand Landry and wife of Jean Baptiste Broussard, père, was filed at the Vermilionville courthouse, Lafayette Parish, in May 1823; she would have been in her early 60s that year.

Jean-Baptiste's son settled at Attakapas and died young, but not before fathering a son of his own, who also probably died young.

Baptiste died at Attakapas in December 1787; he was only 25 years old. His line of the family may not have survived.
Augustin, born posthumously at Attakapas in February 1788, probably died young.

Other LANDRYs on the Western Prairies
Area church and civil records make it difficult to link some Landrys in the western parishes with known lines of the family there:
Anne Landry died at Attakapas in June 1787. The priest who recorded her burial said that she was 25 years old when she died, but he did not bother to give her parents' names or mention a husband.
Dominique Landry died "at age about 50 years at the home of Joseph Castille [fils, not père] at la pointe on Bayou Teche" in March 1824. The priest who recorded his burial said that Dominique was "native of Acadie," though his estimated birth year of c1774 says otherwise. The priest did bother to give Dominique's parents' names or mention a wife. Joseph Castille, fils's mother was a Landry, so Dominique probably was a kinsman of the Castilles.
Uriah Landry's succession record was filed at the Franklin courthouse, St. Mary Parish, in February 1831. The parish clerk who recorded the succession did not give Uriah's parents' names or mention a wife.
Marie Mélanie, called Melanie, daughter Alexandre Landry of St. Gabriel on the river and widow of Jean Baptiste Hébert, remarried to French Creole Alexandre Lanclos probably in a civil ceremony in St. Landry Parish in 1831.
Julie Landry married François LeForet, probably Foret, and died in Lafayette Parish in May 1833, age 30. The Vermilionville priest who recorded her burial did not give her parents' names.
Jean Darcourt or Valcourt Landry married French Creole Marie Marcellite, called Marcellite, Doré. Their son Jean Dorsili was born in St. Martin Parish in September 1837.
Joseph Landry married French Creole Aimée Delahoussaye. Their son, name unrecorded, was born in St. Martin Parish in April 1840.
LOUISIANA: LAFOURCHE VALLEY SETTLEMENTS
Most of the Landrys who came to Louisiana from France in 1785 chose to go to upper Bayou Lafourche:
Claire Landry of Grand-Pré, age 80, crossed on La Bergère, the second of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in mid-August. With her were in-laws Claude LeBlanc of Grand-Pré, age 62, and his third wife Dorothée Richard, age 50.
Prosper Landry, age 60, crossed on La Bergère with third wife Élisabeth, or Isabelle, Pitre, age 57, and two sons--Jean-Pierre, age 22, and Simon-Joseph, age 19. Prosper died at Assumption in October 1797, two days before his wife Élisabeth died there. Prosper was 71 years old when he died, two years older than Élisabeth. Their sons settled on the upper bayou.
Pierre Landry, age 49, crossed on La Bergère with wife Marthe LeBlanc, age 49, and four children--Joseph-Giroire, age 19, Jean-Raphaël, age 17, Marie-Madeleine-Adélaïde, age 15, and Anne-Susanne, age 9. Their daughters married into the Hébert and Penro families. Pierre died at Assumption in September 1798; he was 63 years old. Born at Minas in the 1730s when Acadia thrived under British rule, as a young man he endured exile to Virginia, deportation to England, seven years of imprisonment in an English port, and repatriation to France as a young husband. He spent over 20 years in France, raising a family, working as a colorist, carpenter, and ploughman, and enduring the frustrations of a stranger living in his own mother country. In his twilight years, however, in Spanish Louisiana, Pierre, like hundreds of his fellow Acadians, finally found peace and tranquility along the banks of Bayou Lafourche.
Marguerite Landry, age 48, crossed on La Bergère with husband Jean Richard, age 55, and a 13-year-old son.
Marie-Josèphe Richard, age 46, widow of Hilaire Landry, crossed on La Bergère with two daughters--Marie-Madeleine, age 16, and Marie-Rose, age 10--who married into the Savoie and Thériot families.
Marguerite Landry, age 43, crossed on La Bergère with husband Jean-Baptized Ozelet of Cobeguit, age 42, and four children, ages 18 to 4.
Geneviève Landry, age 34, crossed on La Bergère with sister Marie-Josèphe, age 32, and a 3-year-old charge, François-Julien ____. Marie-Josèphe may not have married. Geneviève married Francisco, son of Joseph Romagosa of Catalina, Spain, on the upper bayou, in November 1794, and died a widow at Charity Hospital, New Orleans, in September 1796; the New Orleans priest who recorded her burial said that Geneviève was 55 years old when she died, but she was closer to 45. The surname and fate of their young charge François-Julien is anyone's guess.
Marie-Madeleine-Adélaïde Landry, age 22, wife of Jean-Baptiste Comeau, who remained in France, crossed on La Bergère with a two-year-old son. Marie-Madeleine-Adélaïde remarried twice, first to Jean-Baptiste, son of French Creole Eustache Mondort and widower of Marie Drolet of Québec, in August 1798, and then to Juan, son of Josef Antonio Moreno of Guadalajara, Mexico, in February 1803.
.
Simon Landry, age 50, crossed on Le St.-Rémi, the fourth of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in early September. With him was wife Marguerite Gautrot, age 59.
Jeanne-Marguerite, called Marguerite, Landry, age 20, crossed on Le St.-Rémi with three younger siblings--Aimable-Étienne, age 19, Bonne-Marie-Louise, age 17, and Abraham-Isaac, age 13. Jeanne-Marguerite married into the Cancienne family and died in Assumption Parish in March 1825, age 60. Bonne-Marie-Louise married into the Marois family of Italy. Aimable and Abraham settled on the upper bayou.
.
François Landry of Port-Royal, age 69, three times a widower, crossed on L'Amitié, the fifth of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in early November. With him were two orphaned grandchildren and a nephew--Jean-Charles Landry, age 18, granddaughter Bonne-Marie-Adélaïde Landry, age 16, and grandson Jean-Jacques-Frédéric Landry, age 15. François died at Lafourche in February 1797, age 81. Bonne-Marie-Adélaïde married into the Lejeune family. Jean-Charles settled on the bayou. Jean-Jacques may not have married.
Marie-Blanche, called Blanche, Landry, age 52, crossed on L'Amitié with husband Pierre LeBlanc, age 49, and a 16-year-old daughter. Blanche died at Lafourche in July 1786, not long after she reached Louisiana.
Marguerite Landry, age 37, crossed on L'Amitié with husband Eustache Bertrand, age 49, and four children, ages 19 to 1.
.
Marguerite Landry, age unrecorded, widow of Jacques Mius D'Entremont III, crossed on La Ville d'Archangel, the sixth of the Seven Ships, which reached New Orleans in early December. With her were son Jacques Mius D'Entremont IV of Pobomcoup, age 29, his French wife Marie Herve of St.-Malo, age 30, and five of their children and stepchildren, ages 11 to infancy. They went not to Bayou des Écores, north of Baton Rouge, with the majority of the passengers from their ship but to upper Bayou Lafourche.
.
The Landrys from France created a third center of family settlement on Bayou Lafourche:
Descendants of Jean-Pierre LANDRY (1762-1810)
Jean-Pierre, elder son of Prosper Landry and his third wife Élisabeth Pitre, born at St.-Antoine, France, near St.-Malo, in July 1762, became a carpenter in France. He followed his family to Louisiana aboard La Bergère, the second of the Seven Ships, in 1785 and followed them to upper Bayou Lafourche, where he married Élisabeth, or Isabelle, daughter of fellow Acadian Dominique Guérin, in February 1786. Isabelle also had come to Louisiana aboard La Bergère, so they may have known one another in France. Their daughter married into the Barrilleaux and Thibodeaux families. Jean-Pierre remarried to Anne-Marie, called Annette, daughter of fellow Acadian Jean-Baptiste Daigle and widow, perhaps, of Simon LeBlanc, at Lafourche in January 1790.

Marcellin Florentin married Clementine, daughter of French Creole André Dupré, at the Donaldsonville church, Ascension Parish, in January 1840. Marcellin died near Paincourtville in September 1847; the priest who recorded his burial, and who did not bother to give any parents' names or even mention a wife, said that Marcellin died at "age 30 yrs."; this Marcellin would have been 31, so this probably was him. He had daughters, but did he father any sons?
Landry Landry married Azéline or Azéma, daughter of French Creole Lubin Simoneaux, at the Plattenville church, Assumption Parish, in November 1841; Azéline's mother was a Daigle. Their son Sarasin Cyprien was born near Paincourtville in May 1847. ...

Simon-Joseph, fils, born at Assumption in May 1798, may have married fellow Acadian Élisabeth or Élise Aucoin in Assumption Parish in the 1820s. If so, their son Octave was born in Assumption Parish in December 1824, and Simon Ulysse in January 1830. Simon Joseph may have died in Assumption Parish in June 1833; if this was him, he was only 35 years old.

Aimable-Étienne, elder son of Joseph Landry and his second wife Jeanne-Marie-Madeleine Varangue, born at Cherbourg, France, in December 1765, became an engraver in France. He came to Louisiana with three younger siblings aboard Le St.-Rémi, the fourth of the Seven Ships, in 1785 and settled with them on upper Bayou Lafourche, where he married Ursule-Françoise, daughter of fellow Acadian François Pitre, in February 1788. Ursule had come to Louisiana aboard L'Amitié, the fifth of the Seven Ships. Their daughters married into the Barrilleaux, Colon, Foret, and Hunot families.

Anne-Olive had come to Louisiana aboard La Ville d'Archangel, the sixth of the Seven Ships. Isaac died in Assumption Parish in October 1816; he was only 44 years old. His only son, perhaps his only child, died young, so this line of the family did not survive.

During the late colonial period, Landrys from Maryland moved from the Acadian Coast to upper Bayou Lafourche, adding substantially to that center of family settlement:
Anne-Isabelle Landry, wife of Joseph Comeaux and sister of Pierre dit LaVielliarde, died at Assumption in October 1797. The priest who recorded her burial said that she was 34 years old when she died, but she probably was closer to 38.
Descendants of Vincent LANDRY (c1727-1798)
Vincent, eldest son of Pierre Landry and Anne-Marie Doucet, born probably at Pigiguit in c1727, was deported with his family to Maryland in 1755. He married fellow Acadian Susanne Godin probably of Rivière St.-Jean in Maryland in c1756. They went to Louisiana with an infant son perhaps with the first contingent of exiles from Maryland in 1766. They had more children in Louisiana. Spanish officials counted them in New Orleans in July 1767, so they may have taken their time following their fellow exiles to Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, where Spanish officials counted them on the right, or west, bank of the river in 1769 and on the same side of the river at nearby Ascension in 1770 and 1777. Vincent was "singer of the church" at Ascension. Two of his daughters, born in December 1768 and July 1770, were baptized at New Orleans in May 1769 and February 1771, so the family spent some time in the city. They were living on upper Bayou Lafourche by the mid-1790s. Their daughters married into the Aucoin, Bourque, Mazerolle, Melançon, and Ozelet families. Vincent died a widower at Assumption in March 1798; the priest who recorded his burial said that Vincent was 74 years old when he died. Two of his three sons settled on the Lafourche.

Pierre dit La Vielliarde owned three slaves at Ascension in 1777 and 11 in 1778, an impressive number for an Acadian at that time and place. He, Marie-Josèphe, and their children were living on upper Bayou Lafourche by the late 1780s. Pierre dit La Vielliarde held 15 slaves on the upper bayou in 1791, and owned 16 slaves there seven years later.

Other LANDRYs in the Lafourche Valley
Area church and civil records make it difficult to link many Landrys in the Bayou Lafourche valley with known lines of the family there:
Joseph Landry married fellow Acadian Marcellite Dugas and settled in Assumption Parish in the 1810s.
Jean Landry died in Assumption Parish "by drowning in Bayou" in October 1830. The Plattenville priest who recorded his burial, and who did not bother to give his parents' names or mention a wife, said that Jean died at "age ca. 40 yrs."
Éloi Landry married fellow Acadian Mathilde Theriot and settled in Assumption Parish by the early 1830s. Mathilde died before October 1833, when she was called deceased in a daughter's burial record.
Eugène Landry died in Assumption Parish in April 1832. The Plattenville priest who recorded his burial, and who did not bother to give any parents' names or mention a wife, said that Eugène was "ca. 39 yrs." old when he died .
Joseph dit Dio Vincent Landry, husband of Renée Trahan, died in Assumption Parish in January 1833. The priest who recorded his burial, and who did not bother to give any parents' names, said that Joseph dit Dio Vincent was 51 years old when he died.
Joseph Narcisse Landry married Léonore Landry probably in Assumption Parish in the 1820s or early 1830s.
Célestine Landry married Jean Baptiste Augeron at the Thibodaux church, Lafourche Interior Parish, in April 1843. The priest who recorded the marriage did not bother to give the couple's parents' names.
Francissi Landry married Maria Marciline Becna. Their son Augustum Léo was born near Plattenville, Assumption Parish, in February 1844.
Théophile Landry married fellow Acadian Célestine Hébert. Their son Élisée Désiré was born near Plattenville, Assumption Parish, in October 1841.
Valérie Landry married cousin Hortense Landry. Their son Eulise, perhaps Ulysse, was born near Paincourtville, Assumption Parish, in September 1844.
Germain Josèphe[sic] Landry died near Paincourtville, Assumption Parish, in September 1844. He was only 2 1/2 years old. The priest who recorded the boy's burial did not bother to give the parents' names.
Joseph Gesner Landry died near Paincourtville, Assumption Parish, in October 1844. He was only 8 1/2 years old. The priest who recorded the boy's burial did not bother to give the parents' names.
Sylvère Landry married fellow Acadian Euphémie Melançon and settled near Plattenville, Assumption Parish, by the mid-1840s.
Jean Landry died in Assumption Parish in September 1844. The Plattenville priest who recorded the burial, and who did not bother to give any parents' names or even mention a wife, said that Jean died at "age 77 years." Who was he?
Désiré, son of Michel Landry, died near Paincourtville, Assumption Parish, age 2, in December 1847. The priest who recorded the boy's burial did not give the mother's name.
Louis, son of Glenkak Squire and Heline Landry, died in Lafourche Interior Parish in June 1850, age 12. For some reason, the Thibodaux priest who recorded the burial called Louis a Landry.
.
A Landry family line that appeared on Bayou Lafourche during the antebellum period cannot be linked by local church records to any of the other Landrys in the area:
Descendants of Joseph LANDRY (?-)
Joseph Landry married Marie Capdevielle. Their daughter married into the Dufrene family. ...
Ives or Yves Jean Baptiste married Delphine Denise, daughter of French Creole Jean Charles Barbier, at the Plattenville church, Assumption Parish, in August 1844; Delphine's mother was an Aucoin. Their son Camille Grégoire was born in Assumption Parish in November 1845. ...
NON-ACADIAN FAMILIES in LOUISIANA
At least one non-Acadian Landry appears in Louisiana church records during the colonial period. She came to the colony from Switzerland decades before her Acadian namesakes arrived:
Anne-Marie, daughter of Jacob Landry of Basel, Switzerland, married Henry, son of Pierre Lebel of Paris, at New Orleans in October 1728.
~
More non-Acadian Landrys, some of whom would have been called Foreign French by native Louisianians, immigrated from France or the Caribbean Basin during the antebellum period. Those who remained in the Bayou State probably settled at New Orleans:
Baptiste Landry, a 35-year-old carpenter and native of France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Baltic out of Aux Cayes, Haiti, in May 1820. With him was 40-year-old Marie Dugas Landry, probably his wife. She also was a native of France. One wonders if Baptiste and Marie were descendants of Acadians who had remained in France.
Louis Landry, a 40-year-old farmer from France, reached New Orleans aboard the ship Middlesex out of Le Havre, France, in December 1847. With him was wife Louise, age 37, also a native of France, and son Gastave, age 5.
.
Three non-Acadian Landrys--one from Canada, another from France, and a Protestant from northwestern Switzerland--created families on the river and on the western prairies during the early antebellum period. Their numbers were miniscule compared to that of their Acadian namesakes, and none of them married Acadians:
Descendants of Simon LANDRY (?-)
Simon, fils, son of Simon Landry and Marie Bélanger of Montréal, Canada, married Lucile, daughter of French Creole Manuel Labbé, at Pointe Coupee in 1805. ...
Descendants of Alexandre-Charles LANDRY (?-)
Alexandre-Charles, son of Étienne-Nicolas Landry and Marie-Adélaïde Lepeu of Paris, France, married Louise Antoinette, daughter of French Creole Jean Baptiste Peytavin of Opelousas and Bayou Teche, at the St. Martinville church, St. Martin Parish, in April 1811. ...
Alexandre Louis, born in St. Martin Parish in July 1814, ...
Descendants of Jean-Jacques-Henri LANDRY (?-)
Jean Jacques Henri Landry of Villiers, Canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, married Susanne Catherine, called Catherine, Frasse probably in Switzerland. Like most residents of their canton, they were Protestants. They came to Louisiana during the antebellum period and settled in St. Martin Parish, where their two sons married sisters from Neuchâtel who also were Protestants. The sons settled in St. Martin and Lafayette parishes in the midst of their Acadian namesakes.
1
Older son Charles Henri, born at Villiers, Canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, married Marie-Anne, daughter of David François Sandoz of Dombresson, Canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, and sister of his brother Henri's wife, "at the parish rectory," St. Martinville, in February 1822; Marie-Anne also was a Protestant. Their son Charles Émile was born in St. Martin Parish in February 1824, and Antoine in December 1837. ...
2
Younger son Jean Jacques Henri, fils, called Henri, born at Villiers, Canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, married Susanne Célestine, called Célestine, daughter of Jean Henri Sandoz of Dombresson, Canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, and sister of his brother Charles Henri's wife, at the bride's home in St. Martinville in November 1831; Susanne-Célestine was a Protestant. Their son Louis Joseph was baptized at the Vermilionville church, Lafayette Parish, age 10 1/2 months, in October 1836. ...
CONCLUSION
Landrys (two separate families, the progenitors cousins) were among the first families of Acadia; no Acadian family came earlier to Louisiana; and no other Acadian family sent more exiles to the colony. Between February 1764, when the first Acadian exiles reached New Orleans, through 1785, when hundreds more arrived from France, over 200 Landrys--130 of them from Maryland alone--called Louisiana their new home. Most of them settled on the Mississippi River along what was called the Acadian Coast, but their presence there was not substantial at first. Not until the migrations from Maryland in 1766, 1767, and 1768 did the family become a significant one on the river. During the late colonial period, centers of family settlement arose also on the western prairies and along Bayou Lafourche, but most Landrys remained on the river, especially in Ascension Parish. Most of the 1785 arrivals, however, favored the Bayou Lafourche valley over the crowded river settlements, but not until later in the colonial period, when Maryland exiles or their children moved from the river to Bayou Lafourche, did this center of family settlement become substantial.
Non-Acadian Landrys from Canada, France, and Switzerland appeared in St. Martin Parish in the early 1800s, but they were vastly outnumbered by their Acadian namesakes.
As they had occupied nearly every significant settlement in old Acadia, Landrys settled in every Acadian community of South Louisiana. The family's settlement patterns in the late colonial and early antebellum periods resemble a series of waves spreading out from the family's substantial base on the Acadian Coast. The first wave, no more than a ripple, moved out to the western prairies beginning in the early 1770s, followed by successive waves across the Atchafalaya Basin into the early antebellum period. Most of the western Landrys settled in what became St. Martin, Lafayette, St. Mary, and Vermilion parishes, but at least one family set down roots on the Opelousas prairie south of the present city. Meanwhile, beginning in the late 1780s, several waves of Landrys moved from the river to upper Bayou Lafourche, followed by ripples of movement deeper into the Lafourche and Terrebonne country during the early 1800s; at least two Landrys settled on the Gulf at Chenière Camanada, near Grand Isle; others moved from the upper bayou to the shores of Lake Verret, where their descendants hunted alligators. During the early antebellum period, in a reversal of the usual Acadian migration pattern, a few Landry families moved from upper Bayou Lafourche back to the river.
The family produced a number of wealthy indigo and sugar planters, a district commandant, and even a lieutenant governor. Joseph dit Bellehomme Landry served as commandant of Ascension from 1799-1803 and was elected to the first state senate in 1812. His son Trasimond served as lieutenant governor of Louisiana during the late 1840s. ...
According to a recent study of Louisiana families with French and Spanish roots, "Among the surnames of French origin in Louisiana that of Landry is second only to Hébert." Interestingly, dozens more Landrys than Héberts immigrated to Louisiana, and Landry marriages outnumbered Hébert marriages by a substantial margin during the first century of Acadian presence in South Louisiana. ...
Alligator hunter Troy Landry of the History Channel's popular series "Swamp People," is a direct descendant of one of many Landrys who came to Louisiana from Maryland. ...
The family's name also is spelled Lendry, Landri, Landris, L'audry.
