FONTENOT

Pronunciation:  FONT-no, FAU-teh-no

Origin:  French Creole via Alabama--Alibamonts

Arrived in Louisiana:  1764

Pioneer Ancestor(s) in Louisiana:   7 sons of Jean-Louis FONTENOT dit Colin, including Philippe, Pierre dit Bellevue, Joseph dit Belaire, Jean-Baptiste, Henri dit Bellevue, & Jean-Louis dit Cadet FONTENOT

Settled:  Pointe Coupée; Mississippi River above New Orleans, present-day St. John the Baptist & St. James parishes; Opelousas District by 1766, including present-day Washington, Bayou Chicot, Prairie Mamou, Grand Coteau, & Grand Prairie in St. Landry Parish, & present-day Ville Platte & Church Point in Evangeline Parish; French Settlement & Whitehall, lower Amite River, present-day Livingston Parish; Natchitoches

Acadian connection:  ARCENEAUX, AUCOIN, BLANCHARD, CORMIER, DOUCET, DUPUIS, FORET, GAUDIN, HÉBERT, JEANSONNE, MARTIN, PITRE

Comments:  Jean-Louis FONTENOT dit Colin was a native of the province of Poitou in west-central France.  In the 1720s he served as a sergeant in the French garrison at present-day Mobile, Alabama, where he married Louise-Angélique HENRY in 1726.  She gave him at least 11 children, including seven sons.  Most of the FONTENOT children were born at Mobile, but they were raised at Fort Toulouse, also called Post des Alibamons, near present-day Montgomery, Alabama, where Jean-Louis was stationed in the late 1730s and where he died in 1755.  When French territory east of the Isle of Orleans was ceded to Great Britain by the Treat of Parish in February 1763, the FONTENOT sons and their families emigrated to western Louisiana, arriving at New Orleans in 1764, about the time that the first Acadian families reached the colony.  Six of the FONTENOT brothers moved with their families to Pointe Coupée then on to the original Opelousas Post on Bayou Courtableu, now Washington, St. Landry Parish.  Here "the FONTENOTs of old St. Landry developed into one of the most prolific and prominent family groups of French origin in southwestern Louisiana."  Most of them raised cattle on the Opelousas prairies and owned many slaves.

Settled:  Ascension Parish; Vermilion River valley, Lafayette Parish

Acadian connection:  BERNARD, BOUDREAUX, BOURGEOIS, COMEAUX, HÉBERT, LANDRY, LEBLANC

Comments:  This is from an email I sent to Pauline Langlinais Theall 23 June 2007:  

"... Your comment, "I have always been disappointed when I could not find my name on lists of surnames of Acadians," tore at my heart strings, so I grabbed my books & lists & searched diligently for an Acadian connection to your family.   Again, I could find none.  The best I could do was an association by marriage with a prominent Acadian exile, Jacques Mius D'ENTREMONT, who came to Louisiana aboard the sixth of the Seven Ships of 1785, La Ville d'Archangel.  With him were his wife Marie HERVE, widow of Louis LANGLINAIS of St.-Malo, France, and three LANGLINAIS stepchildren, Angelique, age 7, Jean-Louis, called Louis, age 11, and Marie-Jeanne, age 9.  Jacques settled in the Acadian community of Ascension probably around present-day Donaldsonville, where he was still being counted by the Spanish census takers in 1791.  Wife Marie, however, seems to have died not long after they arrived in Louisiana; Jacques is counted in the 1788 Ascension census without a wife.  Meanwhile, stepdaughter Marie-Jeanne LANGLINAIS married first to Joseph BOUDREAUX in February 1791 at Ascension then to Joseph BOURGEOIS in May 1796 at St.-Jacques, now St. James.  So Marie-Jeanne stayed on the Mississippi with her stepfather and two husbands. 

 

"I cannot find Angélique LANGLINAIS in the church records, so she may have died young. 

 

"Not so Jean-Louis, who is the progenitor of the LANGLINAIS family of South Louisiana.  He is all over the church records of the old Atakapas District.  Here is his story derived from those church records:

 

"When he came of age, Jean-Louis moved from the river settlement of Ascension to the Atakapas country, now St. Martin and Lafayette parishes, west of the Atchafalaya Basin.  There he began a family of his own.  In September 1794, at age 20, he married an Acadian girl, Celeste, daughter of Rene LEBLANC, in present-day St. Martin Parish, and settled on the Vermilion River, also called Bayou Vermilion, in what is now Lafayette Parish.  His first son Louis was born in October 1795.  Son Alexandre was born in August 1807.  Celeste's succession record is dated July 1810, so Jean-Louis became a widower in his mid-30s.  Jean-Louis remarried to Dorothee, daughter of Charles COMEAUX, and widow of Jean Charles BOUDREAUX, in May 1814; he was 40 years old. 

 

"Jean-Louis's older son Louis married Aspasie, daughter of Jean BOUDREAUX, in October 1815.  Jean-Louis's younger son Alexandre married Adelaide, daughter of Pierre-Paul MONTET, in Lafayette Parish in October 1826. 

 

"Jean-Louis died in February 1831, age 60, in Lafayette Parish.  Evidently his second wife gave him no more children, so the South Louisiana LANGLINAISs descend from Jean-Louis's sons Louis and Alexandre. 

 

"Here's an interesting note for you and your fellow Louisiana LANGLINAISs.  South Louisiana church records reveal that your family's name is actually LANDROMON dit LANGLINAIS, but Louis of St.-Malo and Jean-Louis of St.-Malo/St. Martin Parish used the dit part of the name, so you are LANGLINAISs in Louisiana. 

 

"I'm sorry that I cannot find your LANDROMON/LANGLINAISs in Acadia, only in St.-Malo, France.  Specifically, your family came from St.-Servan, Ille-et-Vilain, just south of the port of St.-Malo.  Their connection with the Acadians is only by marriage--the marriage of Marie HERVE of St.-Malo, widow of Louis LANDROMON dit LANGLINAIS, to Acadian Jacques Mius D'ENTREMONT.  The LANDROMON/LANGLINAISs came to Louisiana because of this marriage connection.  I call your family French Creole because (1)they are not Acadians, and (2)they came to Louisiana before 1803, when Louisiana ceased to be a European colony.  If they had come to Louisiana after 1803, I would call them Foreign French.

 

"Bottom line:  your family is CAJUN, but it is not Acadian/Cajun.  At least now you know where you can go in France to see where your paternal line came from.  I have been told by people who have gone there that St.-Malo is one of the most beautiful cities in all of France.  I hope to go there someday and walk along the streets where your ancestors lived."
