    John, with his parents and their other children, came to the area of LA that later became Acadia Parish. The family was settled in this area by 1784.
    It is not clear whether Anna's parents were ever in LA, however records show that she and her brothers and sisters were here by 1790 and possibly earlier. (Hebert: SWLA Records v 1 pp 129-132)
    John was a Presbyterian and Anna was Lutheran. They were both married by a Catholic priest in Opelousas, LA on May 18, 1795. They were both baptized Catholic the day they were married, renouncing their ties with Protestantism. One can oness whether they remained in the Catholic Church.

    from LV: reportedly born in Wales. Settled Roberts Cove in Acadia Parish

    1810 Opel Parish Census:
    Benjamin Roberts: 1 male 45+; 1 female 45+; 1 female 10- under 16

    from James Ray Johnson (WesearchSLA@aol.com): There are numerous references in the Land Claims of Mississippi Territory which indicate that Benjamin Robert was a resident of the Cole Creek area. Certificate B-285 indicates he received from British Government of West Florida a warrant in 1775 for land on Cole?s Creek and that he was above 21 years of age, inhabited and cultivated the land. In spite of a notation that he was deceased by 1807, there is other evidence that indicate this was our Benjamin Robert, who was the father of the five girls that we know. Without real proof I still think that the first four, Nancy Ann 1772, Marie 1775, Celeste 1779, and Suzanne 1781, were born in Mississippi. The fifth girl Rebecca, born circa 1790, was probably born in Louisiana. There is evidence that Benjamin Robert was in St. Landry Parish by 1789. Yet, he was still shown as a land owner on Coles Creek in Mississippi Territory in 1790.

    Benjamin* married Elizabeth* Cole about 1768 in Lancaster Co (probably), Pennsylvania. Elizabeth* (daughter of James* Cole and Mary* Rentfroe) was born about 1755 in Lancaster Co, Pennsylvania; South Carolina; died after 1810. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 11.  Elizabeth* Cole was born about 1755 in Lancaster Co, Pennsylvania; South Carolina (daughter of James* Cole and Mary* Rentfroe); died after 1810.

    Notes:

    from LV:
    Last I heard, Cole researchers had not been able to place Elizabeth, but I think you're right that she probably was Solomon's sister, both being children of James Cole II and Mary Rentfroe. The reason I think so is because James and Benjamin's father owned land on/near Cole's Creek in MS Territory, giving the kiddies probable opportunity to get acquainted.
    The fact that Elizabeth is listed as being from Lancaster Co, PA & SC. & Solomon from NC - more reason to think that she was James II's and Mary Rentfroe's little girl. James II was born in DE, baptized in PA at age 2, married Mary in VA,d briefly in NC, relocated to SC, and then made an extraordinary voyage of around 1,500 miles by river boat from northeastern TN to MS Territory. Depending on when Elizabeth was born, her birth place could have been VA, NC, or SC.

    from Carole Knight (cknight@huntnet.net):
    One item of interest is the entry in the "Secret Militia Roles, 1788" found in the Mississippi Land Papers (G976.2D494m)

    "JAMES COLE: He is an old settler here, having been established for many years. Petitions for the title of 200 arpents, which is recommended, considering he has a large family. Ft. Panmur de Natches. 18 January 1788 [Folio 93]

    Carole thinks that Elizabeth's father is a James, but she & her siblings would have been adults by 1788. Who is this James?

    From the English land grants of 1768-79:
    Benjamin Roberts, October 9, 1777, 250 arpents
    * James Cole, March 20, 1778, 550 arpents - same James as above I guess
    William Hay, 1773, 1773, 1776, 3400 arpents
    Isaac Johnson of Second/Sandy Creel, September 1, 1777 1,000 arpents

    From the Spanish Census, Natchez 1792:
    * James Cole, Jr. and Sr. @ Villa Gayoso
    Also at Gayoso were George, Dan, John, Lucy William Clark
    Also at Gayoso Abner, Abram, Henry, John, Joseph, Nathan and Thomas Marston Green.

    _
    More verification that Elizabeth is daughter of James Cole:

    Entry of marriage for daughter Celeste states that she is daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth Coll i.e. Cole...
    "Robert, Celeste (perhaps Sarah) - Lutheran of America (Benjamin & Elizabeth Coll) m 15 Jul 1794 John Clark - Lutheran of America (Francis & Rachel Mellon) Wits: Jacob Harmon, William More. Fr. Pedro de Zamora (Opel Ch v 1-A p 51)"

    Also marriage record entry of daughter Susan, same thing:
    "Robert Susanne - Presbyterian (Benajmin & Elizabeth Colle - Presbyterians) m 20 Sept 1796 Jacob Welsh - Presbyterians, of Maryland in the United States (Peter & Catherine Opaver (Huppert). Wits: Andrew Walsh(?), Moses Johnston, John Moore, Robin. Fr. Pedro de Zamora (Opel Ch.: v 1-A, p 69)"

    Also marriage record entry of daughter Rebecca, same thing, only this record shows "Elizabeth COLE."

    "Robert, Rebecca, protestant of this parish (Benjamin & Elizabeth Cole) m 24 Jan 1880 Joel Richey, Protestant from Natchez living in this parish (John & Mary Hardin) Wits: William Shields, Benjamin Richey, groom signs as Vel Richey.

    PETITION BY THE ENGLISH INHABITANTS OF THE NATCHEZ AREA IN 1779
    TO THE BRITISH

    Sir
    Natches January 17. 1779
    TO HIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR CHESTER

    We, His Majesty's Dutiful and Loyal Subjects, Inhabitants of the Natches, beg leave to acknowledge our sincere and hearty thanks for your Excellency's great care and attention to this District and the various measures from time to time adopted for the Defense thereof by which means our Enemies are, and have been, much awed by this part of the Country protected and defended and our property safely preserved and kept from such fate as hath been often devised and decreed against it. Permit us to assure your Excellency that our weak endeavors were ever exerted, never failing to assemble on all occasions when called upon by Colonel Hutchins, who on alarms hath often required our attendance, and the same Loyal Principles we hope will ever govern us to act with spirit in the future on such emergencies. You also have our thanks for appointing him to preside here, who is more likely than any other person yet offered to defend this District, to be useful in other respects and to yield a general satisfaction to our most virtuous inhabitants.

    We do also most heartily thank the Honorable Colonel John Stuart, ESQ.. for the aid of his Loyal Refugees under Captain Jackson's command who have been very useful to us. And also for the Company under the command of Captain William Mcintosh,
    lately arrived, and hope they will be of no less service. And as it is reported by Captain Mcintosh and William Bethune that Indians are to be sent here, we do most ardently beg and request that no such may ever appear amongst us under the name of a
    defense, as most of us are too well acquainted with the Indians to put the least confidence in them. And as we conceive that would be as useless and burdensome at this time as those heretofore sent to the District. What more, therfore, can we expect of
    them now than at that time can they answer any other purpose than to Destroy the province that ought to support and sustain this Post, and to keep us in bodily fear.

    The Indians formerly sent here was a reason why many People and families left their Habitations. But another such visit forced upon us, we fear, will add to an unhappiness and too, probably to the Country's desolation. And we, a Loyal people, why then shall we be forced to leave our settlement and fly to a Despotick Dominion.

    We are informed of a report in Pensacola, that the Inhabitants of this District whose cattle have been slaughtered for the support of the Troops and the Indians, were contented with the price of five dollars per hundred, which report we declare to be exceeding wrong and that we have always thought, and yet think it ought not to be less than six Dollars and a Quarter and hope that price will be made good to those Injured people whose Beeves have converted to the King's use at an under rate.

    We beg leave to wish Your Excellency the Compliments of the season, with perfect health, length of days, long to preside and your Administration happy under the auspicious reign of our rightful Sovereign, inthroned on a Glorious Constitution; is the prayer of.

    Sir Your most Devoted and Obedient Humble Servants:

    To His Excellency Governor Chester

    p 517 6 Nov 1797, William Hayes to Reuben Baxter, of Dist, of Natchez, Planter, 200 acres herein before mentioned; for $150, paid. Both sign. Wit: Juan Girault, Estevan Minor

    Census:
    Family outline of his son William III indicates a male over 45. This is probably him. It would not be Sarah's father as he had died in Virginia.


    Research Notes:
    Was William "Guillermo" Hayes, really the son of the Chester County William Hayes?
    Gleaning from Internet, some say William of Chester had a son born 8-8-1733 but I found no sources for this birth. William of Chester had a will written in 1770s, executed in 1780s, and named some if not all children and grandchildren of deceased children. It did not mention a William. William of Chester had been in Chester as early as 1707 or 1710 when his father moved there. The family were Quakers. He briefly lived in Delaware, (east of Chester Co) in 1764 but returned to Chester Co.

    William "Guillermo" records (source?) say he was born "about 1730," a native of Halifax and a Presbyterian. Halifax, Dauphin County, is about 85 miles to the west of Chester County. That is the only reference to William "Guillermo" being in Halifax. He is next found in Fairfax County, Virginia when he married in 1753 and then witnessed the will of his wife's stepmother in 1754.

    If nothing else, William "Guillermo" is "by tradition" son of William of Chester, but I can find no proof. However, there is no proof he's not. What is the source that he was a native of Halifax? Could have just lived in Halifax before going to Fairfax. If he is indeed son of William of Chester, he could have set out to Halifax as a young man and then went south to Fairfax by the time he was either 20 or 23. Probably not uncommon for men to set out on their own at 18 or 19 years old. He was Presbyterian. Did he simply convert from being raised a Quaker? If so, was he estranged from his family and that's why he left and was omitted from the will? Was it because he was too far away by the time of his father's will? By that time he had moved from Fairfax further south and was established in Natchez before moving to Louisiana.

    William* married Sarah* Celeste Bosman in 1753 in Fairfax Co, Virginia. Sarah* (daughter of Thomas* Bosman (Bozman) and Mary* Key) was born on 20 Mar 1734 in Fairfax Co, Virginia; died in 1788 in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  4. 13.  Sarah* Celeste Bosman was born on 20 Mar 1734 in Fairfax Co, Virginia (daughter of Thomas* Bosman (Bozman) and Mary* Key); died in 1788 in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana.

    _____________________
    ... was at the Vermilion Parish GenWeb site tonight and found the cemetery where Rachel Clark and second husband Joshua Garret are buried. Thought you might like the information. Sounds as though it was the family cemetery on Garret land. I keep wanting to spell Garret with two t's. I live on Garrett Ave. Would never have found this information if I hadn't gotten the name of Rachel's second husband from you.
    Thanks

    COMMENTS: I am a decedent of Joshua GARRETT, and as such wanted to mention the mis-spelling of the family name. Joshua GARRETT, with two Ts came to S. Louisiana in the 1770s and settled on Bayou Nezpique in the County of Opelousas, in what is now Evangeline Parish. Later he moved his family to the County of Attakapas, in what is now St. Mary Parish. Under the governance of the Spanish his name was misspelled in many ways, which was not unusual. In the marriage records of St. Martin de Tours Roman Catholic church in St. Martinville, LA, he is listed as Josue Garrot, and in Spanish Military records, he served in a Spanish milita unit, de la Compagnie de milite des Oppeloussas(sic) and is listed as Josua Garote. During this period of transition, from France to Spain to France, then to the United States there was probably some confusion between the clerics and civil officials as to which language to use to record official events. To compound this continuing error, the name of this cemetery on the N. BEND
    USGS 7.5 min. Quadrangle is listed as Gratt Cem. I have tried to have this corrected, but as yet have only met with stiff resistance from Washington bureaucrats.
