Andrezine Bordages Seube
Andrezine Bordages was bom March 4, 1849 in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi the daughter of John Bordages and Marie Saucier. She had three brothers: Joseph, Bertrand, and Francis. The Bordages family came to the coast from Aulon, Haute Garrone, France. Marie Saucier is believed to be a native of Nova Scotia who lived in Pass Christian.
Andrezine's was the granddaughter of Bertrand Bordages (died circa 1849) and Bemadine Amilhat (died circa 1872). Bertrand and Bemadine Bordages had the following children: Caded (died between 1867 and 1872), Francois (died sometime after 1872), John (died April 22, 1878), Joseph (died February 3, 1866), Andrezine Bordages Lannes (died October 17, 1897) and Jeanne.
The exact date that the Bordages family came to the Mississippi coast is not known, but old family letters written in French, now in very poor condition, document that at least some members of the family had traveled to this country and returned to France. One letter dated March 1st 1845, four years before the birth of Andrezine, was addressed to a Mr. Seaucier. The letter gives us a sense of what it was like to sail across the Atlantic at that time: "I had a good crossing. I wasn?t a bit sick; it took us 35 days. It wasn't cold at all on the ocean, but since I have been here the weather has been terrible, I've suffered very much from the cold. I've often thought of the beautiful weather in America. My brother can't decide to leave the country."
Another letter dated June 21, 1888 states, "My Dear Wife, I write you these two lines to tell you I arrived in La Harve today safely in twelve days of crossing and in good health.
I hope that this letter finds you the same. I tell you that I was put up very well in the steamer North Star. I couldn't have been better fed. I wasn't sick at all and we had one of the nicest crossings that one could ever have, only I will tell you that I was a little cold during the whole crossing. I almost froze. I hope you are in good health, all of you. In a few days I will write you as soon as I arrive at my parents' and I write you very rushed as I must leave in an hour for Paris. I send you greetings, J."
Andrezine married Jean Seube, son of Bertrand Seube and Mary Pony. Jean Seube, who was bom circa 1848 in France, came to this country as a young man. Andrezine and Jean Seube were married on January 9, 1872 at Our Lady of the Gulf Church. They had the following children: Jennie (1st married Willie Thom and 2nd married Peter Belocq), Amanda (married to Jack Strong), Rosie (married to John Basford), Amiline (married to Paul Combel), Aline (married 1st to Jim Breath and 2nd to Ruben Perre), Cecile (married to Alcide Ladner), Henry (married to Rita Carver).
Prior to her marriage to Jean Seube, Andrezine was married to Joseph Bankston. She was also married a third time, after the death of Jean Seube, to Aristide Favre. Andrezine died at the age of 64 and was buried at St. Mary's Cemetery in a Favre family plot. Her tombstone (barely readable in August of 1985), which designates her as Andrezine Favre, indicated she died on May 13, 1913.
