Notes on Jean Baptiste Creely
I suspect that he was born in Kaskaskia, but there is no proof of this. A possibility is that he was born in Point Coupée, Louisiana, as his older sister was.
He was not in the 1 January 1732 census of Kaskaskia, likely meaning he either was not born or was not in Kaskaskia at that time.
On 19 February 1763, he sold a house, earthen oven, and lot to Jean Baptiste LaLande for 3,500 livres. Jean Baptiste Creely had inherited the property from his late father.2
On 11 January 1781, he was posthumously recorded as a cooper.8
Notes on Angelique Pillet dit LaSonde
She was the daughter of Pierre Pillet dit LaSonde and Catherine Marie Madeline Boisron Bosseron,9 both of whom were among the 152 colonists on the ship "Le Comte de Toulouse," which left La Rochelle, France, in 1718. They were not married at the time and probably met on the boat.10
Her parents were in Kaskaskia by 1724 when they leased property from Louis Turpin.11
She married Gabriel Aubuchon and had at least five children: Gabriel Aubuchon (b. 23 May 1765, married Marie Thibault),12 Joseph Aubuchon (b. 18 October 1767, married Marie Kiercereau),5 Therese Aubuchon (b. 18 October 1767),14 Joseph, Aubuchon (b. 8 October 1770),15 and Charles Aubuchon (b. 9 July 1776).15
She died "suddenly in bed."8

3. Beauregard, v. 2. Also, her parents had four children in the 1 January 1732 Kaskaskia Census, meaning that she was born by that date. Her burial record says that she died when she was 44-years-old, meaning she must have been born in 1731.
