Notes |
- Thomas Berwick and his wife are identified somewhat differently in various records throughout the Opelousas and Attakapas districts. Thomas is variously identified as a native of England, South Carolina, and Pennsylvania. His wife, who is identified as Eleonore Wales,
Helene Walles, Elenore Helene Birgitta Wales, and even Elena Ouzez, is also somewhat mysterious since it is not clear where and when they married.

Notes |
- Between 1813 and 1816 two of Thomas Berwick's daughters also left St. Mary Parish. In 1813 a list of persons subject to taxation in the parish included William Prather, who had married Aanes Imoqene Berwick and John Merriman, married to Mary, who was also called Polly, Berwick. But two civil suits filed in December 1816 show that by then the Prathers had moved to Opelousas, and the Merrimans had moved to St. Martin. Later the Merrimans moved to SL (St. Landry); Mary, settling on Bayou Said. John Merriman was active on several police jury committees.
