Note: A special thank you goes out to James Dubroc and Melvin Daigrepont for their help on this project. DAIGREPONT - Sieur Jean Jacques Vernin Daigrepont, native of Moulin, province of Bourbon, France, first settled in Pointe Couppee about 1810, married there in 1815, but by 1819 he and his bride had moved to Avoyelles, where they settled the family farm near present day Hessmer. Daigrepont had married Eugenie Vitrac, born March 9, 1791, daughter of Dr. Jacques Paul Vitrac, a native of Bordeaux, France, and Marie Clemence LaCour. Jacques and Eugenie had only one child, Pierre Daigrepont, before the early death of Jacques. After the death of Jacques, his widow remarried in 1822 Ebenezer G. Paxton. Pierre Daigrepont, born c1815, the only child of Jacques and Eugenie Daigrepont, married, on December 27, 1836 Agelie Ducote, born c1820, daughter of Jean Pierre Ducote and Elise Laborde. Pierre died before 1880 and Agelie before 1890. They lived their entire life on a farm near Hessmer. They had eleven children. (summary by Randy DeCuir) Marriages--Louisiana to 1850 (database) Daigrepont, Jaques married Vitrac, Eugenie on 17 Aug 1815 in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana CLICK ME To read: "The Daigrepont's of Pointe Coupee" by Mack Daigrepont You will notice that Agelie Ducote and Azelie Ducote is the same person. Also notice her husband's name Pierre Daigrepont is spelled as Pierre Ducrepont. I find this interesting because my grandfather Elize Daigrepont, sometimes spelled his name Elize (Elise) Ducrepont, on his children's birth records. I found the following information (not including dates) from ancestry.com submitted by Louis DeVon (Don) LaBorde, unless otherwise noted. The names and dates of the 11 children of Agelie (Azelie) Ducote and Pierre Daigrepont (Ducrepont) were given to me by Melvin Daigrepont, 4-8-99. Melvin's father and my father are brothers. The dates and information in 'generation 1-4' were given to me by James Dubroc. James Dubroc also gave me the marriage dates of Azelie and Pierre Daigrepont's children. CLICK ME To see the Laborde - Ducote - Daigrepont 'Tree' Graphic, I am working on. This link shows some of the information on this page in a 'Tree' graphic.
