Hello,
Antoine BOUTARY is supposed to be born according to Ancestry.com records "in 1745 Lagrade, Anse, France" and dead on the 13 Feb 1833, probably in Lafourche (Louisiana).
Do you have this death certificate ?
I think his birth place is not written correctly ; I suppose it's rather Lagarde. And "Anse" does not correspond to any French departement or region.
You're right, Quercy is an ancient region situated in Midi-Pyrenees region, covering several nowadays departements :
_ Lot ;
_ half north of Tarn-et-Garonne ;
_ some towns of Dordogne, Corrèze and Aveyron.
