1767 - vers 1840 (73 ans)-
Nom ARBOUR Francois John Naissance 1767 [Haute-Normandie] - Le Havre, 76600, Seine-Maritime, France 
Genre Masculin Décès vers 1840 Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, United States Notes - a young man, Francois worked as a mariner, like his father. When he was18-years old, Francois immigrated to the United States of America withhis parents and settled in the State of Louisiana. Francois and his wife Jeanne had nine children, six daughters and three sons. By 1810, thefamily lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where they contributed to the immense growth of the community. In 1810, the town filled only six pages in the Census rolls, but by 1820, had grown to 24 pages. Francois andJeanne lived there in 1810 with three of their daughters, as the others seem to have died by then. In fact, none of their sons lived until adulthood and the ARBOUR name ended with Francois on this line. In December 1810, the family lived next door toFrancois DAIGLE, probably Jeanne's father. A Private Fr. ARBOUR fought with the 8th Regiment (Meriam's Regiment), Louisiana Military, during the War of 1812. There were no other Francis/Francois ARBOURs alive at this time so one may conclude it wasthis Francois who fought for his home and that he died after 1812. However, speculation exists that Fr. could actually stand for Frederickso no conclusions can be made. It is unclear when or where Francois andJeanne passed away. Jeanne was alive during the Census taken in December 1810, so she died some time after this. Furthermore, there is a Francois ARBOUR listed in Baton Rouge in the 1830 Census and in the 1840 Census. He is probably also ourFrancois.
