• Notes

  Birth date is on his marriage record as well as his birth record. It appears that Thomas served in Napoleon's army between 1795-1812: Napoleon III awarded the medal of St. Helene for having served under Napoleon to veterans of the Grande Armee still alive in 1857. According to the database of the Medals of St. Helena, this is him and his regiment: nom: COURET prenom: Thomas commune_de_residence: Aspet arrondissement: Aspet departement: Haute Garonne code: F31 pays: FRA regiment: 8° de ligne dossier : 215584 According to the birth certificate of his first son, Thomas had the title of Sieur de Long. His 1870 parish death record says that he was 87, and that he lived in the “au hameau de Sarradere,” at the hamlet of Sarradere, which is basically just a road on the hillside outside of Aspet.
