I am interested in locating two things for my family in Martinique.
First, Antoine de la Chaumette (b. abt 1705) emigrated with his parents to Martinique about 1708 from England (and before that, France). Antoine is listed in 1725 on the Martinique planters list; it is rumored that this farm was in Antoine's family til after the early 1800's. I would love to locate info about Antoine's wife and children, burial info and info about the plantation that he owned.
Second, in an epidemic about 1715, Antoine's mother died and is buried there (would love to have a photo of her headstone). The headstone was apparently still there in 1899.
Madame de la Chaumette is my 7th great grandmother and Antoine would be my 6th great uncle.
Thanks very much to anyone who would be willing to help me locate this info.
