the daughter of Celestine "Chariot" Favre and Jean Pierre "Cadet" LaFontaine. We listed Victoire as born in "1830" and "1833" as found in the 1870 and 1880 censuses of Hancock County, MS, while living with her husband, Henry Hines Kranky, who was born in 1815 as found on his headstone. Louise Victoire "Lize" LaFontaine married Henry Hines Kranky on June 19,1845, as found in the "Gainesville Advocate" newspaper in Hancock County, MS. Elisa "Lize" Victoire LaFontaine was dead by 1857, as found in Hancock County Chancery Court records, Case #34. Because she was dead by 1857, the wife listed in the (1870 and 1880 censuses) home of Henry Hines Kranky had to be his second wife, Ellen O'Brien. In spite of her being baptized as "Louise Victoire LaFontaine", we are certain this is, in fact, Elisa "Lize" "Victoire" LaFontaine. Why the priest baptized her with the first name of "Louise" is unknown. It was probably a priest error or the family decided they did not want to call her "Louise" as often happened. See our Favre History pgs. 125 -126 and Ladner Odyssey pgs. 243 - 244 for details.
"Louisa Favre" and "Carlos Favre" had a child, "Eufrosina" Favre, (aka Euphrosine "Zine"
Favre) that was baptized at Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Mobile, Alabama, on November 22, 1805, (Baptism Book 2, p. 108), but no grandparents were named. We can estimate Euphrosine was born around 1805 based on her baptism date. This "Louisa Favre" is, without a doubt, Louisa Mimi / Fayard / LaLancette. Of special interest, the priest notes that they were "Mestizos." According to the Webster dictionary, mestizo means "a person of mixed blood, a person of European and American Indian ancestry." This "Carlos Favre" is actually Charles "Chariot" Favre, Jr. He was the son of Charles "Chariot" Favre, Sr., and the grandson of Jean Claude Favre and an unnamed mother, probably a Choctaw Indian. This would explain why the priest labeled them as "mestizos," with the Indian coming from both sides. This Euphrosine "Zine" Favre was first married to Charles "Carlos" Nicaise, Jr., (but he was not actually a Jr.), son of Jean Baptiste "Martial" Nicaise and second to Charles Favre, Sr., (a different Charles Favre, Sr.), son of Simon Favre and the Choctaw Indian called Pistikiokonay. See our Favre Family History, pages 59 - 69 and 124 - 128, for more details on this extremely complex family.
"Pelagie Favre and Charles Favre" are named as the maternal grandparents of "Rose Aimee Nicaisse" who was baptized on July 13,1829, at age 14 months (born May 1828) at St. Louis Cathedral,
N. O., LA, Bapt. Bk. 13, p. 90, act 389. Her parents listed were "Charles Nicaisse and Euphrosine Favre." Paternal grandparents listed were "Martial Nicaisse and Louise Ladeniere." The above Charles Favre is Charles "Charlo" Favre, Jr., and the "Pelagie Favre" is Louisa Mimi / Fayard / LaLancette. The "Pelagie" is apparently a nickname she sometimes used. See pgs. 127 -128 of our Favre Family History.
So who was the mother of Louisa Mimi / Fayard / LaLancette? On Louisa's marriage record in 1800 to Charles "Chariot" Favre, Jr., the priest names her mother as "Louisa Mimi" - same as her name. Then on the 1802 baptism record of Angelica Favre, daughter of "Carlos Favre and Luisa LaLazet," we find something different. On this record Louisa clearly names her parents as "Jean Bautista LaLanzet and Susana Fayard." Based on this record, we believe Louisa Mimi / Fayard / LaLancette's mother was Susanne Fayard dit LaLancette. We suspect the priest errored, as they often did, when he recorded "Louisa Mimi" as the mother of Louisa Mimi / Fayard / LaLancette.
