General Notes: Husband - Jean Baptiste Guillemot dit Lalande

---

On page 112 of "Kaskaskia under the French Regime" Natalia Belting speaks of Jacques Guillemot dit Lalande, and then she says,

"There was another family of Lalandes in Illinois at the same time, that of Jean Baptiste Guillemot dit Lalande, son of Jacques François Guillemot and Madeleine Dupont, baptized at Montreal July 18, 1694. (Tanguay, V, 417). He married Catherine Ouabanakicoue, an Indian, the widow of Louis Texier, marguiller of Kaskaskia, who died at Natchez, Jun 3, 1721.

"A son, Marc Antoine, was born October 7, 1723, and baptized October 20, with Marc Antoine de la Loëre des Ursins, director of the Company, and Marguerite, an Indian, as his godparents.

"On Febrary 20, 1734, Jean Baptiste married Charlotte Marchand at Montreal. They were the parents of
1. Charles, baptized June 6, 1735.
2. Charlotte, married Jacques Lacourse, widower of Jeanne Bienvenu, February 3, 1749.
3. Louis, born February 25, 1744.
4. Élisabeth, married Charles Bienvenu dit Delisle, June 2, 1760 (Régistre de la Paroisse).

"On May 12, 1724, one-half league on the Grand Prairie stretching from the hills to the Mississippi was granted by the Company to Jean Baptiste Lalande. (American State Papers, Public Lands, II, map opposite p. 182).

"I have no actual proof, but I strongly suspect that Jacques and Jean Baptiste were brothers. Tanguay (I, 291) gives a Jacques, baptized July 20, 1690, at Montreal as one of the children of Jacques François Lalande and Madeleine Dupont."

ANOTHER SON:

A Jean Baptiste Lalande, about 2 years old, was buried in Kaskaskia April 17, 1724. This child might be a son of Jean Baptiste or he might be a son of Jean Baptiste's brother Jacques. See "La population des forts français d'Amérique (XVIIIe siècle)", Marthe F. Beauregard, Vol 2, pg 189. Belting says that he is a son of Jacques, but the burial record does not state who his parents were.

DEATH:

The following on page 137 of "La population des forts français d'Amérique (XVIIIe siècle)", Volume 2, indicates that Jean Baptiste Guillemot dit Lalande died before May 1767:

27 Mar 1767 -- Charles Delisle and Charlotte Marchand, widow of Sieur Lalande, are godparents.

The marriage record of his daughter Elisabeth, from the same source, indicates that the father of the groom is deceased but does not indicate that the father of the bride is deceased. Thus it is probable that Jean Baptiste Guillemot dit Lalande was alive in June 1760.
