The Delahorne/Curtis Family History

Louis · ◉ direct ancestor

♀Marie Claude Louis

Died 1779, Pointe Coupée, Louisiane, New France.

Also recorded as Marie Claude Champagne.

Marie Claude Louis was a settler of Pointe Coupée, on the Mississippi in colonial Louisiana, where on 27 October 1772 her infant son Louis was baptized on the same day as two of her grandchildren. She was the fourth great-grandmother of Floyd Amatus Delahorne (1922–2014), through her daughter Magdelaine Bizet (born 1769).

Family at Pointe Coupée

Francois Bizette and Marie Claude Louis married on 14 November 1752 at St. Charles Borromeo, St. Charles, Louisiane, New France. The register calls him a native of Morel, in the Diocese of Quebec, and her a native of New Orleans.

Louis was her family name, but the registers more often call her by her dit name, Champagne: she is Marie Claude Louis, called Champagne, at her daughter Julie’s baptism, and Marie Claude Champagne at her children’s marriages from 1776 on. The family was at Pointe Coupée by 1758, when their daughter Anne was born there on 1 November. Perrine followed in 1761, Julie in 1762, Louis in 1765, Magdelaine on 5 February 1769 and a second Louis in 1772. Two more daughters, Angélique and Marie Louise, have no baptism at Pointe Coupée; at their marriages the register calls them of St. Charles and of des Allemands, both on the German CoastW above New Orleans, which suggests that they were born there, before the family appears at Pointe Coupée. A son, François, married in 1786.

Children and grandchildren

Angélique married Louis Bergeron at Pointe Coupée on 28 November 1770, and Marie Louise married his brother Joseph on 7 January 1772. By the autumn of 1772 both sisters had babies, born within three months of their brother Louis, and the three children were baptized on the same day, 27 October 1772. The family stood for one another: their son-in-law Louis Bergeron and their daughter Marie Louise were godparents to the baby Louis, Marie Claude was godmother to Angélique’s son George, and a Francois Bizette, most likely the grandfather, was godfather to Marie Louise’s daughter, also named Marie Louise. Marie Claude was godmother again on 13 January 1774, to Marie Louise’s son Joseph. Two more daughters married in 1776, Perrine to François Demouche, of New Orleans, on 16 May, and Julie to Joseph Roy on 22 June.

Death

She most likely died in the spring of 1779: a Marie Claude, wife of Bizette, was buried at Pointe Coupée on 25 April 1779. Her husband was buried there on 11 February 1780, aged sixty.

Notes

Her marriage record names her parents as Étienne Louis and Marie Jeanne Delleblet. No Louis or Champagne family to which she can be tied appears in the Pointe Coupée registers.

The burial of 25 April 1779 is entered as that of Marie, wife of Bizette, under a heading that takes Claude for a surname. No other Bizette wife appears in the Pointe Coupée registers before the sons’ marriages of 1786, so it is most likely Marie Claude’s. Her husband’s burial names no wife; it is taken as his because it is the only burial of a grown Francois among the family’s entries of those years, and because their son François’s marriage in 1786 names his father as deceased.

The Daughters of the American Revolution, who list her husband as a patriot of the American Revolution, give her name as Marie Claudine Champagne, the form used at Anne’s baptism in 1758.

The register also records that a Madelaine, daughter of Francois Bizette and Marie Claude Champagne, married Pierre Fabre, of New Orleans, on 31 March 1788. Magdelaine married Joseph Joffrion at the post of Opelousas in 1795, and how the two marriages fit together is not settled.
