| Notes |
- David and Louisa Garrett Berwick were blessed with a large family, of nine children. Their sons Joseph and Oscar became prominent planters in St. Mary Parish. Their daughter Louisa
married another Bayou Sate resident, Dr. Shakespeare Allen; 50 daughter Adalicia or Addie married the Centerville grocer Nathan K. Todd, and daughter Mary married J. D. Capron.
David and Louisa also experienced their share of tragedy. In March, 1849, their five-year-old son Dallas died; in May they lost seven-year-old Armstrong to scarlet fever; and in August their youngest son Edward died of what the Planter's Banner called "cholera infantum."53 They also lost two daughters, Leila and Phoebe.
