I am looking for help in finding more information about Seymour Voullaire's father, Francis. Seymour was born in Guadeloupe in 1832, his mother Letitia is listed as 'widow of Francis' in the 1860 Kennedy address directory of St. Louis, MO, USA so I am assuming Seymour's father's name was Francis and was dead before he, his mother and sister left for the States.
There was a slave record I found as well with Letitia's name and same age given for the slave. How were slaves listed then, did they not have their own names and ages listed, or is it possible that Letitia herself was the slave? This isn't an angle of my family history that I would have ever guessed before. It has been confirmed by family, now, that indeed my Voullaires were Catholic French Carib Creole and NOT the Huguenot French Canadian Indian as the story was told for so many years. Can someone help me find a source for records in Guadeloupe?
