"Chariot" Favre, Jr., was born about 1780 assuming he was age 20 when he married "Luisa LaLanzet" in 1800. See pages 124- 128 of our Favre Family History. 3. The above "Louisa LaLanzet" is also identified as "Louisa Mimi" who married "Carlos Favre" (Charles "Chariot" Favre, Jr.) on April 21,1800. This record is found in St. Louis Cathedral, N. O., LA, (Marriage Bk. 2, p. 129). This marriage record says Carlos was the son of "Carlos Favre and Angelica Ladner" and "Louisa Mimi" has no father listed, but her mother is listed as "Louisa Mimi" (aka Susanne Favre). This record also states that Carlos Favre is a "native of Bay St. Louis, District of this Province, and Louisa Mimi was a "native of same district" (also Bay St. Louis). Witnesses were "Valentin Bourgeois, Juan Bautista Ladner, and Valentin Lafontaine." If Louisa Mimi (the daughter) was age 18 when she married in 1800, she would have been born about 1782. If her mother, Louisa Mimi (aka Susanne Fayard), was age 38 when her daughter married in 1800, she would have been born about 1762. 4. The above Baptism record of "Angelica Favre" (born 1802) identifies her maternal grandparents as "Susana Fayard and Juan Bautista LaLancette." Could this be a priest error, and her husband should have been Baptiste Favre? We personally do not think this was a mistake. The only Jean Baptiste Fayard dit LaLancette at that time was the one born "about 1751" to Jean Pierre Fayard dit LaLancette and Francoise Fisseau dit DeLorme. This Jean Baptiste Fayard married Angelique Ladner dit Christian. Angelique Ladner was born on February 14,1753, the daughter of Mathurin Ladner dit Christian and Marie Catherine "Anne" Berda dit Picard. This Jean Baptiste Fayard and Angelique Ladner were having children born between 1771 and 1795. Keep in mind this Jean Baptiste Fayard's younger sister, Felicite Fayard dit LaLancette (born 1762) was one of the 2 wives (the other was Susanne Fayard) that Baptist Favre had children by. It is our belief, based on the baptism of Angelique Favre in 1802, and the other records cited above, that Susanne Fayard was also the mother of "Louisa Mimi," and the father was Jean Baptiste Fayard dit LaLancette. Susanne Fayard was born about 1762, based on the estimated age of her husband, Baptiste Favre. Baptiste Favre's estimated year of birth, 1762, is based on the known age of his other wife, Felicite Fayard dit LaLancette, who was born on August 24,1762. 5. "Louise Victoire LaFontaine," daughter of "Cadet Jean Pierre LaFontaine and Angelique Favere" was born on March 1,1820, and baptized on June 9,1820, (SLC, N. O., LA, Bapt. Bk. 31, p. 127). The mother, "Angelique Favere" is a priest error and is actually Celestine "Celeste" aka "Chariot" Favre. Angelique Favre was the "sister" of Celestine Favre. The paternal grandparents listed are "J. Pierre LaFontaine, deed, and Marguerite Favere, deed." The maternal grandparents listed are "Charles Favere, deed, and Marie Louise LaLancette, deed." Charles is Charles "Chariot" Favre, Jr., and Marie Louise LaLancette is Louisa Mimi / Fayard. This child, Louise Victoire LaFontaine, born in 1820, is clearly a child by Jean Pierre "Cadet" LaFontaine and Angelique Favre (1802). Apparently, "Cadet" LaFontaine had a relationship with or married Angelique Favre before he married her sister, Celestine "Chariot" Favre. In our Favre History, page 125, we errored when we wrote "Elisa (Lize) Victorie" was 3
