MySource:Aberksan/Descendants of Jean-Charles NAQUIN

Jean-Charles, sometimes called Charles, son of Charles Naquin and Anne Doiron, was born probably at St.-Suliac, France, near St.-Malo, in September 1771. He came to Louisiana with his parents and siblings aboard Le St.-Rémi, the fourth of the Seven Ships from France, in 1785, and followed them to Ascension, on the river.

Jean-Charles married Marie Madeleine, called Madeleine, daughter of French Creole Jean LeBoeuf of St.-Charles des Allemands, at Assumption, on upper Bayou Lafourche, in December 1800. Their daughters married into the Authement, Bourg, and Pitre families. Jean-Charles and Madeleine had five sons, most of whom fathered sons of their own. This line of the Naquin family did not remain on Bayou Lafourche but moved farther down to Bayou Terrebonne, a distributary of Bayou Lafourche, at the northern edge of the vast coastal marshes that stretched south to the Gulf of Mexico. Jean-Charles's father had acquired land along Bayou Terrebonne in the late 1790s, so this was likely a motivation to relocate the family there.
