Notes for SALVADOR Mouton:
Some of the below information is according to "ACADIAN DESCENDANTS", Compiled by Janet B. Jehn, 863 Wayman Branch Rd., Covington, KY 41015, dated 1972:(text by Shari Berens)
Salvador Mouton may have been born in 1733 (according to the above book), instead of 1735, although this is unlikely as his older brother Pierre was born in December of 1732.Salvador married Anne Bastarache in 1752 when he was 17 years old and she was 19 years old (although there is a possibility that she was born in 1731, and therefore 21 years old when married).They moved to St. James Parish, Louisiana, sometime between 1756 and 1758, probably 1757 when their first two children, Jean and Anne were 2 and 1 years old respectively.Salvador and Anne had two more children while living in Louisiana, Marin and Marie Genevieve Celeste.Salvador's son, Jean, founded the city of Vermillionville, later called Lafayette, Louisiana.Salvador's first wife, Anne, died in 1766, at the age of 33, when their youngest child Marie was approximately 1 year old.Two years later, in 1768, Salvador married Anne Forest in New Orleans, Louisiana.They were only married five years, (and apparently childless), when Salvador died in a New Orleans hotel at the age of 38.
