Laplante

♂Joseph Narcissus Laplante

Born 1805.

Joseph Narcissus Laplante (born 1805) was a man of Vincennes, Indiana, who in 1837 married Marellite Compagnotte, sister of the wife of his brother Hyacinthe. He was the third great-grand-uncle of Nancy Jane Blanchard (1929–2006), the brother of Julia Adele Laplante (1811–1861), Nancy Jane’s third great-grandmother.

Early life

A compiled collection of Indiana births and christenings gives Joseph Narcissus’s birth as 24 August 1805 and his christening at Vincennes, Knox County, in the Indiana Territory^W, on 20 April 1806. It names his parents as Jean Baptist Laplante and Marie Colne, that is Jean Baptiste La Plante and Mary Dorcus O’Connell/Colne(y).

His sister Julia Adele was born six years later. A biography of her written by her granddaughter says that their father died when she was very young, and that her brothers “were very devoted and gave her every advantage that was theirs to give.” When she died in 1861, the Weekly Vincennes Western Sun called her “sister of Mr. Joseph LaPlante, of this county”, most likely this brother.

Marriage

On 6 February 1837 Joseph Narcissus married Marellite Compagnotte at St. Francis Xavier^W, the parish church of Vincennes. The parish marriage index names Marellite’s parents as Pierre Compagnotte and Marguerite Gamelin, and gives the same parents for Marie Anne Compagnotte, who married Hyacinthe Laplante (born about 1808, died before 5 September 1890) on 1 June 1830. So two probable brothers married two sisters, seven years apart, in one parish.

Notes

A namesake

Narcisse Laplante dit Champagne, born in 1805, the youngest child of a Québec family of the same surname, shares Joseph Narcissus’s given name and birth year. He is a different man.
