These are the immigrant ancestors of the Harlan family.
Article from the Times Picayune, 15 Mar. 1925, p13. The woman in the first paragraph who died in 1866 is Emilie Lacoste, who married as her second husband Pierre Hacker (d. 1835). I'm not sure whether the name in the article, "Laporte," is her maiden name "Lacoste," or a variation on her first husband's name, "Mahé-Desportes."
According to this article, she died in the North Rampart St. home of Mrs. George Washington Dunbar: this is her daughter Charlotte Zulmee Hacker (d. 1910).
Many descendants of the family are named here as well.
This bookplate was designed by Amelie Roman (1893-1939; Newcomb 1896), whose initials you can see on the lower left.

Bracken and Mason counties in Kentucky figure in family history at several points. The Hamilton, Mannen, Pollock, and Savage families on this tree moved from various Pennsylvania and Virginia counties to farm near Germantown and Maysville, on the Ohio River. Relatives in the Dye family, from another part of the tree, also lived there in the nineteenth century.

The Louisiana branches (most, but not all, from New Orleans) have not historically been as well researched as families on this website from Maryland and New England. Asahel McLellan, whose family moved from the northeast to New Orleans, has a fairly well documented family. Research on the other families on the site—the Pitards, Gamards, Courets, Maupays, DeGranges, and the rest—has required some rewarding research.
