    [Jean Baptiste would have been age around 51, his wife age 46. The other woman over 45 is probably his mother Marie-Josephe PRÉJEAN, now a widow age 73. The children are: 2 males under ten, Zephirin and unknown boy; 3 males 10-15, Charles Placide; Pierre [actually 18]; and unknown boy. Males 16-25: Joseph Baptiste, age 20. Is Jean Baptiste, still single, another of the boys? Ages would be incorrect. Girl under 10: Marguerite, age 7; girl 10-15, Felicite, age 15.
