Fort Maurepas [Old Biloxi]: August 25, 1699 Roll of staff officers, petty officers, sailors, Canadians, freebooters, soldiers, laborers and cabin boys left by Mr. d'Iberville at the fort of Maurepas at the Mississippi on the coast of Florida, to whom are due the sums indicated for each of them to begin, according to the terms of their contracts, on the day following the termination of advances made to them in France and on the island of St.-Domingue, until the last day of December of the year 1699 (AC, C13A, 1, f. 209-19) - Price: $5.95

There were 181 men: 5 staff officers, 5 petty officers, 4 sailors, 18 Canadians, 13 freebooters, 10 laborers [the occupation is shown for 6], 6 cabin boys, 1 sergeant, 2 corporals and 127 soldiers.

Note: d'Iberville had left Fort Maurepas on May 4, 1699 to go to France and he anticipated returning by the end of December, 1699. This list was actually prepared at Rochefort, France to show the funds due those who had been left at Fort Maurepas. See item below for the list prepared on the same date at Rochefort for those who were to return with Iberville from Rochefort to Fort Maurepas.

pp

Roll of Officers and Canadians who should go to Fort Maurepas - August 25, 1699 - Price: $5.95

As stated above, there were two lists prepared at Rochefort, France on August 25, 1699. One for those who had remained at Fort Maurepas and one for those who were to return from Rochefort to Fort Maurepas with d'Iberville. The list were prepared to show the payments due through December 1699. Sieur d'Iberville left Rochefort on Oct. 17, 1699 and expected to arrive at Fort Maurepas by the end of December but he didn't arrive until Jan. 9, 1700 which is why the December 1699 census [see 1-3 below] doesn't show some of the names that are on the May 25, 1700 census [see 4-7 below]. Sieur d'Iberville sailed from Rochefort on the Ship Renommée accompanied by the Gironde and 2 smaller boats [feluccas] for use in navigating the Mississippi River.

Some of the men left at Fort Maurepas in May 1699 when d'Iberville left for France and some who arrived January 9, 1700 aren't on the May 25, 1700 census because they died - see Deaths at Fort Maurepas 1699-1701 below.

Galvez Rosters of 1779 - See also the 1777 Census Ordered by Galvez

Galvez had provided "unofficial support" to the American Cause as early as 1776, but Spain didn't officially declare war on England until May 8, 1779. In a letter dated June 25, 1779 to Commandants Bellile, Robin, Judice and Cantrelle and one dated July 28, 1779 to Declouet [Attakapas/Opelousas], Galvez sent secret communications to identify bachelors not encumbered by family duties whether militiamen or not and Free Blacks, Mulattos and Slaves who could be trusted.

The Pointe Coupee Post wasn't included because of its critical location and the militia there would be needed to guard against a descent via the Mississippi River. The Arkansas, Natchitoches and Rapides Posts were also not inlcuded in the request.

When Winston Deville published Louisiana Soldiers in the American Revolution in 1991, responses to Galvez' letter and militia lists for 1779 and 1780 hadn't been found in the archives, but subsequent research found several rosters and other documents.

In 1993, Mr. Deville published The Acadian Coast in 1779 Settlers of Cabanocey and La Fourche in the Spanish Province of Louisiana During the American Revolution. The Contents of the publication included the following extremely valuable lists for family research and documentation for DAR/SAR membership:

Owners of Available Rice and Corn in the Parish of Saint Jacques at Cabahannocée signed by Michel Cantrelle on March 15, 1779 - the list shows the number of persons in the HH and the number of slaves [Folios 334-336];

A list signed by Louis Judice at La Fourche des Chetimachas on July 3, 1779 of 24 men who met the criteria established in the June 25, 1779 Letter from Galvez [Folios 522-523]; [Note: The 24 names are the same as the names of the men from La Fourche on the Galvez Rosters of 1779 published in 1996.

A list of 37 names signed on August 27, 1779 by Louis Judice of a "Roster of the Volunteer Habitants of the Company of Militia of La Fourche des Chitimachas who were prepared to March..." [Folios 551-552];

A list prepared by Nicolas Verret and Michel Judice of a "Roster of the Volunteers from the Company of La Fourche des Chetchimachas..." The last page of the document is missing which would have had the actual date signed. Also missing are numbers 11-46 of the 65 men on the list. [Folios 553-554v];

A List of Habitants of La Fourche des Chetimachas, Who Have Furnished Cross Saws, Axes, Compass-Saws, and Mill-Stones for the Needs of the Service..." signed by Louis Judice on Sept. 27, 1779 [Folio 567]

In 1996, Mr. Deville published two very important lists in the publication Mississippi Valley Mélange, Volume Two:

1. The Galvez Rosters of 1779: Soldier Selection at the German and Acadian Coasts During the American Revolution [pages 49-52] [Note: The citation for the original document is Papeles Procedentes de Cuba, General Archives of the Indies, Seville, Legajo 192, folios 345-348].

The Galvez Rosters of 1779 identify 119 men from St. Charles Parish [30]; St. John the Baptist Parish [30]; La Fourche [24][this would have been Lafourche Interior which included areas from current-day Ascension, Assumption, Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes - Note: The names are the same as those on the List signed by Louis Judice on July 3, 1779]; Cabahanocce [St. James][29]; and Iberville [1]. No Free Men of Color or Slaves are listed.

2. Southwest Louisiana Militiamen During the American Revolution: The Rosters of Attakapas and Opelousas in 1780 [pages 53-56] [Note: The citation for the original document is Papeles Procedentes de Cuba, General Archives of the Indies, Seville, Legajo 192, folios 258-261] . The 1780 list was actually a list of the men who had gone with DeClouet - who was the Commandant of Attakapas and Opelousas - prior to September 3, 1779. The date of Sept. 3, 1779 is documented in a letter of that date from Francisco Bouligny to Galvez written at Plaquemine in which he lists the men that he had brought from New Iberia to "supplement" those brought by DeClouet. In the letter, he states that "... I have come here with Mr. Delcouet [sic] and our trip was most united and friendly, like him I await the orders of Your Lordship and will execute it with the greatest fervor..." Bouligny's Letter to Galvez [spelled Galbez] lists the 40 men [16 Whites & 24 Negroes] from New Iberia whom he had brought to supplement the Attakapas/Opelousas group.[Source: They Tasted Bayou Water by Maurine Bergerie, pgs. 146-149] [Note: The Sept. 9, 1779 Roll Call at Manchac shows that Declouet was at Attakapas, but as Bouligny's letter documents he was actually at Plaquemine awaiting further orders from Galvez]

In a letter dated January 19, 1780 from Galvez to Declouet, 133 men from the Attakapas [66: 45 whites, 10 Free Men of Color & 11 Slaves] and Opelousas Posts [67: 56 Whites, 5 Free Men of Color & 6 Slaves] were identified.

One of the major resources for research of Spain in the Mississippi Valley between 1765-1794 is the Annual Report of the American Historical Association for the year 1945, edited by Lawrence Kinnaird. The Annual Report is in four volumes.

Volume I was the participants, agenda & meeting notes

Voume II, Part I was The Revolutionary Period, 1765-1781

Volume III, Part II was the Post War Decade, 1782-1791, and

Volume IV, Part III was Problems of Frontier Defense, 1792-1794

Volume II, Part I, pages 342-343 conatins a letter dated June 27, 1779 from Collell to Galvez that gives the names of the First miliita company of the town of Galvez that was formed in response to the order of Galvez on June 16, 1779. The list is primarily of men from The Canary Islands.

These lists provide documentation for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution [DAR] and the Sons of the American Revolution [SAR] . Note: The lists don't identify all the men on the militia at the various posts - only the bachelors not encumbered by family duties. Descendants of the militiamen who weren't identified for the list requested by Galvez are still eligible for membership in the DAR/SAR.

Analysis of the Date of an Undated List of Militia at Opelousas

On pages 87-89 of Louisiana Soldiers in the American Revolution, Winston Deville provides a list taken from Legajo 161, Churchill pages 242-245, Spanish of an Undated List of Militia at Opelousas. Mr. Deville states that the list was likely dated prior to 1776.

The list is especially valuable because it gives the full name, marital status, height, nationality and age of the 71 men on it.

Based upon dates of birth provided in sacramental records, an analysis indicates that the list was prepared after April 30, 1770 and before April 30, 1771.

The date range is based upon the age of Noel Soileau who is shown as unmarried and age 25 on the list. The Arch-Diocese of New Orleans [ADNO] sacramental records in v.1 [1718-1750], p. 242 documents that Noel Soileau was born April 30, 1745 and Baptized May 2, 1745 in St. Charles Parish, LA. He married Angelique Fontenot on Aug. 19, 1771 in Pointe Coupee. Noel Soileau would have become age 25 on April 30, 1770 and age 26 on April 30, 1771 so the list was prepared on or after April 30, 1770 and before April 30, 1771.

The age of Noel Soileau on the Names of Men at Opelousas, LA in 1771 adds additional evidence for the date range of the Militia list. Noel Soileau was age 26 on the 1771 list which means that the list was prepared after April 30, 1771 and before August 19, 1771 when he married Angelique Fontenot at Pointe Coupee. The most likely period for the undated Militia is probably May-July 1770 and May-July 1771 for the 1771 list.
