  Origins
  Patriarch & Matriarch	Etienne Mahé           b. Abt 1676, Plédran, Côtes d'Armor, Bretagne, France           d. 23 Apr 1767, Plédran, Côtes d'Armor, Bretagne, France  (Age 91 years)  (Grandfather)  Marguerite Giquel             d. Yes, date unknown  (Grandmother)
  Notes	His marriage record names him “officier des milites et habitant de la d. paroisse de L’arcahaye; natif de Plédran, en Bretagne, évêché St. Brieux; fils majeur et legitime de feu Sieur Jean Baptiste Mahé Desportes, vivant habitant de la d. paroisse de Plédran et de feuë dame Michelle Tanguy.” He was a plantation owner on St. Domingue. The parish records say that the family lived on Montagne Terrible, above the town of Arcahaye. His children's birth records appear in the Arcahaye parish register. Domingino gives the name “Tanguy” as a family connection, and gives the family’s place of origin as Plédran. Another perhaps related name is in the area, Delaunay Mahé, that appears in parish records (as godparents) as early as 1773. They also appear as plantation owners in Domingino. Charlotte may or may not be his daughter. She is named on her baptismal record as “fille naturale des Mahe Desporte”—that is, not “legitime,” and no parent is named. His son Henry John Joseph, by Marie Radeau, was also natural but not legitimate. He was baptised at age 15, at which time Marguerite Goutelle was named as his “marraine,” godmother. He was an illegitimate son, and at this point Marguerite recognized him as her son. After the revolution, however, he stayed in the Caribbean, and was later married on Saint Barthélemy. On the same day that their son Henry Jean Joseph was bapitized two other related baptisms happen: Jean Charles Mahé, son of Charles Mahé and Louise le Fevre; and Pierre Jean Eugene, son of Sieur Pierre Joseph Denys and Catherine Adelaide Desportes. Both are also residents of Montagne Terrible. They were also sponsors at the marriage of Pierre Gogniet and Marie Jeanne Esnard. This record also appears in the NOLA death records; she may be a child: Desportes, Rose Benedictine . . . 70 yrs, F . . . 11/27/1876 . . . vol. 67, page 640 [1, 4, 5]
