!LAND-CENSUS-MARRIAGE-CHILDREN: Mrs. Stephen Roy Campbell (Marie Pilkington), "Bergeron and Arceneaux and Other Families," in NEW ORLEANS GENESIS; vol. 8, no. 30 (Mar 1969); p. 111. On the 1766 census of Cabahanoce (St. James, LA), Jean Baptiste BERGERON, Sr. was living on Sec. 64, in Welcome. Among children we find: Marin; Marie; Mathurin; Jean Baptiste, Jr. Mathurin (born 1756, died 1814, was married to Marie GAUDIN. Among their children: Emilie (married Jean GOURDIN); Justine (Oliver BOURGEOIS); Marie Constance (Joseph ARCENEAUX, Jr.); Euphresene (Hugh SERRE). Mathurin acquired Sec. 36 before 1803 from Jean Baptiste BERGERON, Sr., by purchase. The plantation was five arpents, 19 toises front by forty arpents deep. Mathurin's grandson Joseph Leon ARCENEAUX acquired the plantation after his death. It is known as "White Cloud," with a home built before the Civil War for Irma ARCENEAUX and her husband Professor Henri CHEYET, a Frenchman.
