  Notes	This is information about him from the biography of his son, Maurice: "Couret, Maurice, M. D., was born in New Orleans, La., Sept. 17, 1874; son of John Francis and Louise (Lamothe) Couret, both of whom were born in the Louisiana metropolis (the father in 1849), and reside there at this time. [. . . ] John Francis Couret has been identified with the Canal-Louisiana Bank & Trust company for many years, being vice-president of that institution at the time of its recent merger with German-American bank." In 1880, he is living in his father's household with his wife, and three younger children who are apparently his (Sidney, "Morais"--a bad transcription of Maurce, I presume--and "Nathan").
