Re: Texada book - The Bayou Chene Story
My uncle, Father Ker, says that it's probably the Wells book and Mary David thinks that it's the Hunter book. It's not the Joseph book. Love P

Re: Texada book - The Bayou Chene Story
I am a descendant of Joseph Texada. His daughter, Virginia is my paternal grandmother's grandmother. My lines goes like this: Manuel Garcia Texada his son - Joseph Texada Joseph's daughter - Virginia Texada - married William Case Their son - Jerome Case Jerome's daughter - Sarah Case - married Agricole Theriot
I tried to find the post where Beverly Barrilleaux says that Joseph's mother was Isabel Garcia not Mahala Trevillion and that she has Joseph Texada's family Bible but could not find it. What sort of documentation is contained in the Bible? I would like to know if I should correct my tree but would like more info. It certainly makes sense based on what I know about the tradition of Spanish surnames - something about their last name is their mother's last name and their father's last name. A man from Mexico was trying to explain it to me just a few months ago. (I live in Colorado but was born, raised, and married in Louisiana.)
By the way, the Texada name/line is still very much alive in New Iberia, Louisiana. There are numerous businesses which reflect the Texada name in New Iberia. Coincidentally, my husband's family is an old New Iberia family. I am from Franklin, LA which is 20 miles from New Iberia. My parents, Barney Theriot and Hazel Ashley were raised at Bayou Chene, LA.

Re: Texada book - The Bayou Chene Story
Veronica, I believe that the church document of Joseph Texada's baptism is where you will find written proof of His mother as Isabel Garcia. Mahala only had one child Captain John A, Texada. Mahala raised two of her nieces Mary Young Douse and Mahala Douse. These were her sisters girls. Later John

Re: Texada book - The Bayou Chene Story
Hi, Veronica,
I, too, am descended through the Texada through Bayou Chene. Do you think we could swap info?
Love to hear from you

Re: Texada book - The Bayou Chene Story
Sorry for not replying sooner - I am just getting back to this board after several months. Certainly, I'd be happy to swap info with you. What do you suggest?

Re: Lewis & Blanche Texada
The book you want is "The Wells Family and Allied families" It has anybody who's anybody in it.. It clears up the fact we are not kin to Rebeeca Wells,(Thank Heaveans) Problems with my other side of the family.. She used Walker stories to tell her story. Teency was my Mother.. Anyway I come through Willie Frank Texada and Kate Malissa Texada who were First cousins. I have 3 sets of grand parents, Trenton LeRoui James and Willie Frank Texada James, George Trezavant Owen and Kitty Lou Borron Owen, (Her mother "Biz" was sister of Willie), and Morgan Wales Walker and Genevieve James Walker, and yes my parents were cousins.. We grew up at "Castile" on the Bayou.. It is no longer in the family..As of this past year.. The origal house was long gone after my parents added on to the house and got a three story plantation looking house in 1973.. My Mom Genevieve, "Teency" got Alice Chilton started on family history in the 60's early 70's.. And together they found many interesting stories..We found our Blonde hair and Blue eyes came from the Texadas. As Mannual Texada was a Blonde Blue eyed man..Funny when you tell people your blonde looks come from Spanish roots.. They say thats why the Texada's are so kooky to much inter breeding..LOL LOL It's always been a family joke, as We're all kin in 3 or 4 different ways and have many double first's.. Genevieve Hope this helps if you'rre strill out there

Re: Texada book - The Bayou Chene Story
The Book of Confirmations of the Archdiocese of N. O.says that Isabel Gracia was Joseph's mother. There is a family name Gracia, but it could also be a mispelling of Garcia. I don't know for sure. Haven't found her in my research. I've not been involved in Genealogy since 2005.
The Bayou Chene Story says that Joseph received a land grant in either Iberia, St. Martin or Iberville parish. I don't remember which. Will check when I have time. Since Frances Texada was living in the Bayou Chene area, I assume her parents were also. If you can get a copy of The Bayou Chene Story, all the Texada/de Tejada Bible info is in there (as provided by my mother, Vivian Reynaud Campbell, granddaughter of Eliza Sullivan Anger(s)).
The order of descendants: 1. Manual deTejada 2. Joseph (& John Texada) 3. Frances Texada 4. Eliza Sullivan Anger(s) 5. Lillian Anger(s) Reynaud 6. Vivian Reynaud Campbell 7. Beverly Campbell Barrilleaux. Hope this helps
