Michael, In 1850, I could not find Marcellin Duhe, married to Mealsie Hymel, but did find them in 1860, but all the children listed were girls, if they had a Marcellin, he has died.

I found in 1860 St. John Baptist, La. CensusCensus

L Madere age 40
Cleophas 23
Alcert Madere age 21
Optime Madere 14
Melicente Madere 12
Ernes Madere 10
Marcelin Duhe age 9
Lucien Duhe age 7
Jean Leche age 21
Amelia Leche age 18
Jean Leche age 7 months

This I think helps clear up things.
