  1. 6.  Sylvestre D. "Debrun" Bossier was born on 21 Sep 1819 in Louisiana; died on 26 Jun 1862 in Vicksburg, Warren County, Mississippi.

    Notes:

    On the 1850 Sabine Parish census, he is listed as Diversoon Bossier, age 28. Kathy Casagranda, in her transcription of this census, lists him as Davidson Bossier. However, in a note posted to the Ancestry.com image of the 1850 census for this family, Linda Freeman instead shows his given name as Sylvester Cesaire Bossier, stating the Diversion was likely a nickman for De Brun..."of Brown." Howard Waldrop shows him as Sylvester Deveron Bossier. Paula Jones, on her WorldConnect tree, instead has his name listed as Sylvestre Deburn Bossier, born 21 Sept 1819, and cites the spelling of his name Sylvestre from his tombstone. She indicates he was a member of the 28 Louisiana Infantry, Company B. She indicates he died in Vicksburg, Mississippi, of the measles, presumably while in the service of the Louisiana Infantry.

    Finally, Maggie Broussard, on her "Jean Bossier" tree on RootsWeb WorldConnect, shows him as Sylvestry DeBrum son of Syvestr Saizoire (Cesaire) BOSSIER and Euphrosine ARNAULD.

    Colette Merchant (bossierbb@gmail.com) posted to my tree on WorldConnect the following information (on 7-12-2012):

    Our old family middle name from the first settler Jean Baptiste "Dit Lebrun" Bossier (May 11, 1676-May 22, 1745) He was called "Lebrun Bossier" in old Natchitoches records.. "Dit" means "known as" a nickname in French as most Frenchmen at that time had one. The spelling progressed to just Lebrun then finally to Debrun has been mis-spelled,(Like Debrum/Debron/Debrune!!) Mis-read, not pronounced correctly for some time now. Loosing the knowledge of the French language is a large reason for this in our Bossier family.. Even the fact we pronounce our name the English way was from Sen Pierre Evariste Jean Baptiste Bossier (a double cousin to my 5th gg Sylvester SR. Pierre's mom was a Lambre' a sister to Marie Jeanne and his dad was Francois Paul Bossier(fils) Jr.a brother of his father) The other Bossier's in S. Louisiana related to us from Francois SR.'s two other brothers Jean Pierre Bossier b.1727, and Jean Baptiste Bossier (fils: French for JR.) b.1728 were all the first born Bossier's La.. Those lines still pronounce our name the French way..
    Our Bossier's and all the other old families of their spouses are very old French Creole..Even in the descriptions of our double cousin Sen Pierre Bossier: READS: "Bossier was a 3rd generation French Creole the son of Francois Paul Bossier and the former Catherine Pelagie Lambre. His great grandfather was Jean Baptiste Dit Lebrun Bossier who came to La Louisiane with the French explorer LeHarp in 1718. He settled at Natchitoches Post and helped to rebuild the fort there. Sen Pierre(Peter)Bossier received a classical education privately,as in the old French Creole tradition. He was a cotton and sugar planter on his plantation, Live Oaks, on the Cane River, formerly a segment of the Red River, in Natchitoches Parish. He was also a general in the state militia."

    Sen. Pierre E.J.B.Bossier is interred at the Catholic Cemetery in Natchitoches.


    From the journal of:
    JOHN QUINCY ADAMS
    COMPRISING PORTIONS OF HIS DIARY FROM 1795 TO 1848.
    VOL. XII. 2 April,24

    "John Slidell, of New Orleans, then rose, and announced the
    death of Pierre Evariste Bossier, a member from Louisiana, of
    consumption, last evening, at his lodgings in this city. Slidell
    pronounced a genteel eulogy upon him, larded with Latin and
    French proverbs, and crowned him with a chaplet of French
    Creole virtues. He offered the usual sympathizing resolutions,
    to wear crape, to attend the funeral to-morrow at noon, and to
    adjourn ; which were adopted without further notice. I spoke
    to Mr. Crittenden, who said Mr. Clay would be here to-morrow,
    and his letter on Texas would be published in the National
    Intelligencer Saturday morning."


    There are 5 Sylvester's in my direct line also that make a lot of confusion..(#1).Sylvester Bossier born 1768 one of 9 children born to Francois Bossier Sr. and Rosalie Charlotte Barre'(she was a great aunt to Jacques T. Roman builder of Oak Alley, and is the granddaughter of Joseph Girardy and Mary Henry who had a large plantation from St. John's Bayou all of what is now City Park and Canal Street in New Orleans was theirs... Her mother: Marie Jeanne Girardy was born there in 1705. Back to Sylvester(#1)married twice first to my 7th gg Marie Jeanne Lambre on Oct 17,1787 they had two children:(#2).Sylvestre Saijaire Bossier born Feb 25, 1790 at Natchitoches La. married Euphrosine Arnaud in 1813. He died in 1877 at Converse Sabine Parish and is buried in Bossier Cemetery. This Sylvestre spoke fluent French and wrote to family back in France until the very end of his life, he also had a sword encased in a cane with jewels on it someone in our family has it I am sure..He had one sister Marie Jeanne Pamela Bossier born April 15,1792.

    Wife of Sylvester #1). Marie Lambre died May 21,1794 she was only 20 years old born in 1774, in N.O...
    Then Sylvestre Bossier SR.(#1) married again on Aug 12, 1800 to Suzanne Collins. They had (#3).Sylvester Bossier 1801 I do not know as of yet who this Sylvester ever married), Zoe Bossier 1803, Louisa Rosayle Bossier in 1805, and Eloise Bossier in 1808. FYI a rather interesting side note on Louisa Bossier she married David Fairman Taber Oct 19, 1830 at Natchitoches, I obtained a copy of their original Marriage document myself while at Natchitoches courthouse in 1989. I was contacted in 2009 by Dan Taber of Minneapolis MN via e-mail, and here is what I found out through Dan Taber through his letter to me:

    "Ma chere Colette,

    Quel surprise !!! de recevoir ton message avec toutes les informations de Louise.

    You've really floored me. I've been working on a family history of the Taber family for over 25 years, and I regularly send out "blind" messages hoping to find someone with some information, but it's so rare to get a response like your's. Thank you so much.

    I am not a descendant of David Fairman Taber. If I were I probably wouldn't need a day job, as many of his descendants became quite well off. A son, Fairman Franklin Taber, was a highly regarded surgeon and had sons and a daughter with an engineering aptitude that they directed toward improving oil production at the well-head, and it made them quite wealthy. A daughter of Dr. Taber, Vida C. Taber, formed a company with her husband, Erle Palmer Halliburton, which became the worldwide oil, energy and construction company known now simply as "Halliburton." VP Cheney was CEO of the company in the 1990's, I'm sure you've heard of it. Louise Bossier was Vida C. (Taber) Halliburton's grandmother." So Halliburton's maternal line come's from (#1). Sylvester Bossier SR.!

    Then (#2) Sylvestre Saijaire Bossier and Euphrosine Arnaud actually had two son's named Sylvester Bossier-> the youngest(#5).was Sylvester Hildevert Bossier b.Feb 07,1825, at Natchitoches he married:Coralie Collaghan April 18,1844,Sylvester Hildevert died in 1861,he also could have been serving in the CSA with the Natchitoches minutemen, his cousin Placide Bossier was and also killed about the same time, a poem was written for him I have a copy of in French and English..

    Then going backwards here to our (#4).Sylvester Cesaire Debrun Bossier Sept 21,1819 in Opelousas St. Landry Parish. He is the one who died of measles while serving in the CSA on June 26,1862 at Vicksburg Miss. My cousin R.G. Claer (b;1936) son of Myrtle Bossier b.1909 (my grandpa R.D. Bossier's only sister) has Sylvester C.Debrun Bossiers leather wallet with Confederate bills still in it, in a safety deposit box in Kilgore Texas.

    (#4) Sylvester C.D. Bossier married twice first to my 3rd gg Margaret Ann McDonald their marriage was between 1839- 1840 at Union Springs,Sabine Parish. Margaret Ann and Sylvester C. Debrun had 9 children total I have all their info if you want it, the last child born was Newton B. Bossier born March 11, 1858, then Margaret Ann McDonald Bossier died Dec 23,1858 when Newton B was just 9 mos old.. She was only 38 years old!!

    So Sylvester C.D.Bossier (#4) married widow Narcissa Waldrop McDonald in 1859 in Converse Sabine Parish (two of Sylvesters older daughters by Margaret Ann also married Waldrop men this same year, maybe younger brothers or cousins, nephews to Narcissa? Their grandfather Margaret Ann McDonald's dad was the Justice of The Peace: Robert Knoles McDonald, performed the ceremonies of all three weddings that took place in 1859! Sophia Bossier married Samuel H. Waldrop, Aug 29, 1859 & Florida Bossier married James Waldrop July 10, 1859. Sylvester (#4) and Narcissa had two children together: Jasper Bossier born Feb 09,1860, and Laura Ann Bossier March 26,1862.. A lot of our Bossier men come from the Jasper Bossier line!

    I have done a lot of research over the years, been in contact with several cousins, and have a lot of old documents/chalk drawings I sent away for to Natchitoches N.S.U.. It's all about sharing and saving our family history for future generations. Plus I love our deep old La Louisiane French Creole roots.
