Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Pierre Daspit St. Amand, Sr. was born about 1729 in New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA; died about 6 Oct 1784 in New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA.

    Other Events:

    • Residence: 1785, Des Allemands, St Charles, Louisiana, USA

    Notes:

    Pierre Daspit St. Amand (Pierre #1) was the son of Jean Francois Daspit St. Amand and Marie Francoise du Buisson (See above) also referred to in some places as John Pierre. According to the account cited earlier, Pierre Daspit came to Louisiana when he was forced to leave France due to an "unfortunate duel and disastrous affairs". In another location the following is recorded:

    "The tradition is that Pierre, Sr. came to Louisiana from France, bringing with him his three sons - Pierre, Antoine and Alexandre. They came just before the French Revolution (1789)."

    The "tradition" cited above does not however reconcile with a number of other facts which appear to be fairly well established. First of all, the family records indicate that the information on Pierre's children is from St. Louis Cathedral records. While it it is possible that these refer to births in France, it is more likely the births were in Louisiana. Pierre's last will was dated New Orleans, 1780 and he died in 1784 also suggests an earlier date of arrival in Louisiana. In the history of the COTEAU DE FRANCE that was written by Clement Bourgois Jr., there are several other important facts mentioned (although their source is not). This documents notes that the Daspit de St. Amand came from France in about 1715. At also mentions that Dominique, the son of Jean Francois Daspit had a son named Antoine who was born in 1757 and married Eulalie Zeringue in 1790. (Antoine will become an important individual in the Coteau de France and the Lanfear affair). Based on this then, Antoine is not Pierre's son but his cousin. One supposition on the part of the author is that the circumstances cited in Dr. Lugano's translation surrounding Pierre's coming to Louisiana may actually refer to Jean Francois who is referred to as Jean Pierre in some documents. The one point that tends to corroborate the "tradition" cited above is the fact that Pierre(#2)'s will (see translation below) states that Antoine is his brother.

    Pierre (#1) was married first to Marie Anne Carmouche. Their children were:

    Anne Daspit St. Amand - born in 1751
    Marie Francoise Daspit St. Amand - born in 1753
    Pierre Daspit St. Amand (Pierre #2, also Pierre Jr.) - born in 1755
    Michel Daspit St. Amand - born in 1756
    Jean Francois Daspit St. Amand - born in 1759
    Alexandre Daspit St Amand - born in 1761
    Rosalie Genevieve Daspit St. Amand - born in 1762
    The family records indicate that the above information is from St. Louis Cathedral records and that, of the above, only Pierre, Michel & Jean Francois and Alexandre left heirs. [7]
    After the death of Marie Anne Carmouche, Pierre (#1) married Marian Leroux-Courcier, the widow of August Courcier by whom she had two daughters, Adele and Celeste[8]. Madame Leroux-Courcier was the governess from New Orleans who had been employed to teach Pierre (#1)'s children. Adele married Marcel (or Marcellus) Daspit.

    Pierre (#1)'s will is on file in Spanish at Cabildo. The will mentions five commissions received from the Spanish Government, among them a captain's and a colonel's commission. There is a family tradition that Pierre (#1) was known as "the general". The tradition is that for services rendered the Spanish Crown he received a grant of some five thousand acres of territory known as the Coteau de France.

    NOTE: The above information on Pierre (#1 or Pierre Sr.) is from a memo with the following note:

    March 19, 1933
    The above memo was given to me by Edna who found same among Uncle Isaac's papers. It is not known from what source it was obtained.

    Notes:

    Pierre Daspit St. Amand

    Pierre Daspit St. Amand (Pierre #2) was the son of Pierre Daspit St. Amand and Marie Anne Carmouche (Pierre #1 - See above). Pierre (#2) is sometimes also referred to as Pierre Jr. Pierre married Marie Mayeaux, the daughter of Francois Mayeaux and Nicole Prevost on November 28, 1778. Their children were:
    Pierre - born in 1779 (presumably died young)
    Marie Anne - born in 1781
    Pierre born in 1784
    Marcel (Marcellus) born in 1790, died 1855 (follows)
    Baselice - born in 1800, baptized 1801 in Plattenville La.
    Pierre (#2) was born while Kerlac was governor of Louisiana . When he was eight years old, the territory of Louisiana was transferred to Spain, in 1863. The Spanish Domination lasted until 1800 (1803). He was Judge of the Interior Parish of Lafourche. He was sixty years old at the time of his daughter, Basilice's marriage at Thibodaux, of which a copy of the court record follows (Page 93 - Acts 1814-15. Part II.)
    Some family records show that Pierre #1(See Footnote 8) was married a second time to Marian Leroux-Courcier, however these are not original documents and it is more likely they actually refer to a second marriage of Pierre #2. There were no children by this union, however Marian had two daughters from her first marriage, Adele and Celeste, to August Courcier. Adele married Pierre (#2)'s son Marcel and both Adele and Celeste seem to have been withesses at Basalice's wedding (See below).

    Marriage of Bazilice Daspit St. Amand

    Today the 12th day of September 1815 and the 40th of the independence of the United States of America Before me Pierre Daspie, judge of the interior parish appeared Monsieur Mathieu Hotard who requested me to register the celebration of marriage which he presents in the following manner:

Coulon, justice of the peace for this parish at the request of the Honorable Judge Pierre Daspie, was brought to his home to join in the Holy Bonds of Matrimony the Sieur Mathieu Hotard, inhabitant of the Parish of St. Charles, age 42 years, native of the Parish of St. Louis, legitimate son of Mathieu Hotard and Marie Genevieve Bourgeois on one part.

    And Miss Basilice Daspit St. Amand, minor daughter of the said Pierre Daspit Saint Amant and Marie Mayeaux deceased on the other part, assisted by her Father.
