  Notes	After the 1850 census I can find no further record of him. He is likely to be the nephew who, according to reports, died with his Uncle Dr. Jean Baptiste Hacker in 1854; articles describe his nephew as a "lad of 13" who died with him and his daughter.

• Documents

  "The Burning of the Gipsy," Times Picayune, 8 Dec. 1854 This describes the loss of the steamer along with "Dr. Hacker, of Plaquemines, with his nephew, a lad of some thirteen years of age, and his daughter." The nephew, not named in any articles about the incident, was very likely Octave Florian Pitard, who would have been 13 at the time.
