Notes:

She married Victor MAUMUS, and they owned a Dairy. She sold cream cheese and milk at the Second Street Market, Stall 65. They were the parents of four children.

Notes:

He was known as Louis, and he was the only one of his family to emigrate to the United States. Bennie Zahn writes that he returned to France for a visit with his parents in 1878 at which time the birth of his eighth child was imminent. On 10 June 1878 he wrote to his wife, Blazine Pene, citing the great joy he felt embracing his family; both of his parents still living. While the sights of France filled him with admiration and while he rejoiced at being in his homeland and with his family once again, his thoughts were of his wife and children, and the joy he anticipated upon his reunion with them. His handwriting was neat and precise and his throughts were beautifully and sentimentally expressed, all of which tends to indicate that he was a well-schooled person.

He died of stomach cancer when he was 45 year old; the youngest of his 13 children being just three years old. He spent the last months of his life at his summer home in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, where it was hoped that his condition would improve.

On his Find A Grave memorial page, he is shown as being born in Deyme, France, not in Cazeneuve-Montaut. He is also shown as buried at the Evergreen Cemetery in Ocean Springs. No photo of a tombstone is posted, however. (# 77856016).

Jean married Blazine Pene about 1866 in New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana. Blazine (daughter of Pierre Pene and Marie Cecile Lacassagne) was born on 1 Feb 1843 in Oueilloux, Hautes-Pyr?n?es, France; died on 14 Jan 1916 in New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Blazine sailed from Bordeaux in September 1866 aboard the windjammer "Jupiter" and arrived in New Orleans 5 December 1866. The passenger list of 109 names listed her occupation as a "seamstress." She married Louis Roquevert and together they owned and operated a dairy on Peters Avenue at Long Street (now Jefferson Avenue at Freret). They had a summer home in Ocean Springs, Mississippi where Louis died in 1890. Nine of their 13 children lived to adulthood; 7 resided in or near New Orleans. (Bennie Jay Zahn).

In early 1901, George D. Bland (1853-1915), who managed the Beach Hotel at Ocean Springs...purchased the Louis Roquevert (1845-1890) place, an approximately eighteen-acre tract on Old Fort Bayou from New Orleanian, Blazine Penne Roquefort Barthe (1843-1916), the widow of Louis Roquevert. This was the former site of Bradford's Landing.(Jackson County, Ms. Land Deed Book 24, pp. 77-79) Here George D. Bland, established a truck farm and poultry business. The Roquevert place was located today in the vicinity of Bayou Cove and Ray Street east of Vermont in Section 19, T7S-R8W.

(Research):An mtDNA sample supplied a direct female descendant of Blazine (a child of Pat McGuire, the daughter of Josephine Morlas), was analyzed by FamilyTreeDNA in Houston. Their analysis showed the following Haplogroup assignment, along with the following differences from the Cambridge Reference Sequence.

HVR1 Haplogroup

The mitochondrial super-haplogroup U encompasses haplogroups U1-U7 and haplogroup K. Haplogroup K is found through Europe, and contains multiple closely related lineages indicating a recent population expansion. The origin of haplogroup K dates to approximately 16,000 years ago, and it has been suggested that individuals with this haplogroup took part in the pre-Neolithic expansion following the Last Glacial Maximum. William Hurst, on his Haplogroup K Website, writes that "Katrine," the founding mother of mitochondrial DNA haplogroup K, was one of the "Seven Daughters of Eve" as listed in the 2001 book of that title by Bryan Sykes. A lot of happened since 2001, but the book is still valuable.

Katrine lived about 16,000 years ago. Perhaps the oldest known K descendant was Oetzi the Iceman whose frozen body was discovered in the Alps in 1991. Estimated at 5000 years old, the Iceman proved to have the basic mutations for a K: 16224C and 16320C. Every K is a cousin of Oetzi.
