HENRIETTE RABALAIS, d/o Joseph Rabalais and Anne Barbe Baftz.

Born August 19, 1756.

Pierre Du Cote’, II was listed in the burial records of St. Paul Catholic Church in Mansura, LA, as being buried December 20, 1836. This would put Pierre at the age of 83 at his death.

Sue writes "a marriage contract from Pointe Coupee dated February 17, 1758 for Sieur Guillaume Guerin called St. Aubert, with Marieanne Oliveau daughter of Magdalene cabre(Kable) and Pierre Oliveau. Signing for the future bride, Sieur Pierre Ducote her stepfather, stipulating for her, with his wife Madgeleine Cabre, her mother. I think this puts Pierre and Madegeline married after the birth of Pierre Ducote Born Sept. 4, 1753 and bapt. at Point Coupee."
