Looking for info on DESSESART/GRADENIGO/ROWE. My g-g grandmother was Allecia
DESESSART. In the 1860 census, town of Opelousas, St. Landry parish, Allecia,
about 13, lived w/Malite GRADNEGGO. Malite, approximately 36, had 2 other
children living w/her--Charles (6) & Alcibius (sp?) (5) Perrault. Allecia
is listed in no formal genealogical accounts of the DESESSARTs that I've
found-- city, church, other. The DESSESART name dates back to Langres,
France. From there, they went to St Dominique & raised sugar cane,
then immigrated to LA, coming in thru Baton Rouge, New Orleans, & finally,
southern LA. Allecia was mulatto, yet she's listed as both white &
mulatto, depending on the census. I think her mother was Melitte (Malite)
GRADENIGO (GRADNEGGO), a naturalized mulatto woman, unmarried in 1860.
If she was Allecia's mother, Allecia was likely illegitimate & one
of the DESSESARTs was her father--& I believe it was Hilaire. Allecia
was apparently very lightskinned, and went on to live as a white woman
in later years. Her children, in subsequent census', are all listed as
white. She even married (common law, possibly), a white man from MS, &
had 8 children. He married her after he served time as a Captain in the
Confederacy, was held as a prisoner of war, &, in later years, claimed
to never have married nor fathered any children. Any help will be appreciated.

I am looking for any information on my mother's parents. My mother was
Hilda Agnes FONTENOT, born in Eunice on November 30, 1908. Her father was
Alcee FONTENOT. I know that Alcee owned or worked in a store in Eunice.
Mom was baptised in the church in Eunice and also married in the same church.
I think the church is called St. Edmund's. I do not know how old that church
is. Her mother was Jeanne (I think) FRANCOIS. She died in 1920, I think,
in childbirth. I have no idea if my grandmother had any brothers or sisters.
I think there was a sister, because I remember a man named Howard RICHARD,
who lived on Market Street in Opelousas, and Mom called him her best first
cousin. My Mom was an only child and raised by foster parents in Eunice.
My mom did not talk very much about her family. She was only 12 when her
mother died and did not see much of her dad as she grew up, although she
told me that he always made sure that foster parents had money for her.
My father was Dillard Louis MILLER, born near Eunice on Feb 6, 1905. He
and my mother were married on Dec 1, 1925 in Eunice at the church. They
lived in Lake Charles from 1927 until the 1970's. They are both dead now.
