I not sure if this is the same family. But my Great Great Great grandparents had 10 children: Eugene, Francois, Farcel, Marianne, Eliza, St. Cyr. Hyacinth, Leonard, Charles and Thelesphore. My great great grandfather is St. Cyr Boutte, Sr. from the Sr. Martinsville Area. If you have any further information on this let me know.

I have found your ancester, I think. The family you are referring to descends from Fanchon, a slave of Andre Claude Boutte. I have been researching her for the past year or so. My research is showing that she could be Andre Claude Boutte's mistress. Her and her five children (all mulato) were provided for in his will. They were all freed by him - eventually. Fanchon wrote a will to make sure that her property given to her by Andre was inherited by her children. It looks like her children were born after all of Andre Claude and his wife's children were born. I don't know when his wife died. That is if he took up with Fanchon after his wife's death or during an illnes ....
Should anyone else belong to this line of Boutte's please contact me.

Would Rosette Boutté and Philippe and Philippan Boutté happen to have been part of Fanchon(ne)´s progeny?

merci bien!

Yes she was her only daughter. There were 4 boys: Claude, Louis Hilaire dit Mulo, Pierre Barbe, Philippe (Phillipant). If you are researching this family please contact me at daglo@ix.netcom.com Thanks.

Mrs. Walker- do you know anything of a Lee Boutte? He would be about 55 now and, I think, attended Jesuit High in New Orleans in the early/mid 60's. Thank you.

Sorry but I don't have a Lee Boutte that would be that age. I do have one born in 1912, don't know where.

iam a descendent of andre claude boutte my grand-father is ulysses boutte married to leontine collette boutte.please send me what you have on them.
thanks

Not sure if this is the right person, but I have a Ulysses Boutte who is the son of Remi Frances Boutte & Marie Boutte. He was born March 26, 1877.

Rosette Boutte m./ Claude Frilot & they had 13 Children. #2 Child Philippe Aime' Frilot m. (sorry, just put all paper's away) but am willing to send info if you like.

my email is now vauwal@optonline.net
Would like to correspond with descendants of Fanchon Boutte. Does anyone have Rosette's Succession?

Hi Gloria,

I saw your post, just wanted to say hi. Did I tell you I found a record in Father Hebert's books, "Southwest Louisiana Records" that uses Fanchon's real name of Francoise? As you know, Fanchon is a diminutive of Francoise.

Diane

In answer to your question: Rosette Boutte was the daughter of Andre Claude Boutte and his slave, Fanchon (real name Francoise). Phillipe Phillipaut was the son of Rosette Boutte and Claude Frilot, Fanchon's grandson.

Diane

Hello! I am trying to get information on my ancestor Francoise Fanchon Boutte. I am a descendent from Andre Claude and Fanchon's youngest child, Rosette. Rosette married Claude Frilot and had a son Phillipe... Phillipe's daughter Victorine Frilot married Henri Vincent. Henri and Victorine are my great grandparents on my maternal side. Do you have information you could share on Fanchon. Her history, her parents, her birthplace??? It is so fascinating... I always thought we were purely acadian french on my father's side... but my mother's side is really quite intriguing.. Thankyou . Lisa Plaisance Mahiger from St. Louis.

Diane, Would you please share more info on Fanchon please? I am trying to learn more about her. She is my ancestor.

Hi there,
I too believe that I am a descendant of Andre Claude Boutte and Fanchon. My great grandmother was Mary Frilot and my mother's maiden name was Olivier, (spelled a little bit differently than yours without the extra i.... I found this very interesting .... my mother was born in St. Martinsville , La. Is that where you are from? I am so curious to know more about Fanchon... and what country she originated from... If she came from Africa or France or the Canary Islands?? Do you know any of this??
Thanks,
Lisa Plaisance Mahiger
