• Notes

  The baptismal record for her son J.B. Octave Pitard, which says that she was from the Parish of St. Andrew, Bordeaux, Dept. of Gironde, France. This is the parish that belongs to the cathedral; the cathedral in Bordeaux is the Cathédrale Saint-André de Bordeaux. The certificate also gives her parents' names. Her marriage record also says that she's a "native of area of St. Andre de Bordeaux," and that she's "fille mineur et legitime de Jean Avril et Marguerite Andat." It says that she has a tutor, Jean Seguin. A tutor would be appointed at the death of both parents. Her mother had died in 1794, when she was named the "vivante epouse du sieur Jean Avril": I assume that all of this indicates that her father had also died as well, presumably by 1794. She does not appear in the NOLA death records index, or in records of funeral expenses from 1843-46, or in the cemeteries' interment books for 1843-45. Her certificate of burial, however, places her in St. Louis #2.
