his son-in-law, Bernard Bourgeois, on June 13, 1848, thus he died after that date.
Title: His date of marriage.
His marriage date (Indian ceremony) is estimated to be about 1804, based on the year his first daughter was born in 1805.
Title: His first wife
In the law suite U.S. vs Choctaw Nation #12742, a witness regarding Chamnay and Alexis, says Alexis had 2 wives, with one dead on Sept. 23, 1844.
Title: His place of birth
While all the evidence indicates Alexis was born in Lauderdale County, Mississippi, on the baptism record of his daughter, Elisabeth Rose, the priest states that Alexis was a "native of Pearl River," which I am almost certain was a priest error as often happened.
Title: His marriage and children
In the law suite #12742, U.S. vs Choctaw nation, vol. 1, page 693, 693, and 808, (Sept. 23, 1844) a witness says that Lixey had 2 wives, one is dead, he married his present wife in Hancock County, and had children born there. On Sept. 26, 1844, Lixy states that he had 2 unmarried children at the time of the treaty (1830) Isabelle, then over age 10, at home, and Mary Ann, then under age 10, "has been here, but left for home." The records do not name the wives. Then on Apr. 17, 1843, Lickesey says he has a son called "Elexander," unmarried, and age "over age 10” on the date of the treaty (1830). These records are scanned into the Memories section of his page above. The baptism record of their daughter, Elisabeth Rose Favre in 1816, says she was born the "natural daughter," meaning her parents were not married by the Catholic Church, and probably married in an Indian ceremony.
Title: His marriage place
While his mother and most of his siblings moved to Hancock County in the early 1830s, Alexis Favre apparently moved to Hancock County much earlier. This is assumed by the fact that his daughter Elisabeth Rose was baptized in 1816 (born 1805) at St. Louis Cathedral which is in New Orleans. If this child was living in Mississippi in 1816, we can assume her parents were there also. The 1850 census of Shieldsborogh, Hancock county, shows Bernard Bourgeois and his wife "Rose," both born in "Hancock County." With this we can now assume Alexis Favre was in Hancock County as early as 1805. With his birth in 1784, Alexis would have been about the age of 19 when Rose was born, and she would probably be the oldest child in the family.

Title: His age
In the Federal Law Suite #12742, U.S vs Choctaw Nation, vol. 1 ,at the Federal Archives, on pgs. 764, 758, and 748 we find Alexy Favre stating that he was "about age 73" in 1845, or born about 1772. While in the previous year, 1844, pgs. 692 and 808, he states he was "about age 60' or born in 1784. From the information on each page, it is clear they were talking about the same person, and was from what is now Lauderdale County, Mississippi. Why the difference in age, I have no idea. Until I find something better, I will use the birth year of "about 1784" because it is closer in age to his other younger siblings.
