  1. 2.  Pierre Firmin Breaux Descendancy chart to this point (1.Marguerite1) was born 22 Sep 1749, Riviere aux Canards, Kings, Nova Scotia, Canada; died 1 Oct 1808, Breaux Bridge, St. Martin, Louisiana, United States; was buried 2 Oct 1808, St. Martin de Tours Cemetery #1, Saint Martinville, St. Martin, Louisiana, United States.

    His father was ALEXIS BRAUD BREAUX (1721?1811) and his mother, was MARGUERITE BARRIAULT (1726?1805). Both were born and died in Canada.

    MARGUERITE BREAUX (1747 CAN ?1815 LA) They had three children in 12 years.

    Member of Attakapas Militia; burial record at St Martin de Tours Church [V4 #534]

    In the 1766 census, Firmin Breau is listed as a bachelor, aged nineteen, living at Bayou Tortue on the Cote Gelee. He must have soon thereafter moved to the District of Cabahanoce (present St. James Parish) since he was married there and is listed in the census of that district taken in 1769. He is shown as a member of the Attakapas militia in 1777.

    He was among the Acadian settlers who appear on the roll of the company of Captain Augustin Grevenberg, which joined Galvez's expedition that captured the British forts in the lower Mississippi valley in 1779. "S.A.R. Spanish Records, Spanish-English War 1779-1783. Men Under General Don Bernardo Galvez..." N.P.: Louisiana Society of the S.A.R., 1925

    As far back as 14 Mar 1786, Firmin owned a large tract of land extending from Bayou Vermilion all the way to the forty arpent road east of Bayou Teche, part of a larger tract ninety-two arpents wide that had been originally granted by the Spanish government to Jean-Francois Ledee. He lived on this land, at the west end of the bridge over Bayou Teche, and he probably built "Breau's Bridge" for which the town is named. (St. Martin Parish Succession No. 38 and Suit No. 334)

    In 1792 he bought a tract of four arpents by forty arpents depth on Bayou Vermilion from Joseph Broussard. He apparently disposed of this land sometime before his death since it is not included in the inventory filed in his succession.

    On 24 Jul 1796 he bought from Pierre Broussard a tract of land ten by forty arpents on the east bank of Bayou Teche, increasing his holdings on the east side of the bayou to twenty arpents front. This conveyance stipulates that the land was bounded by Claude Martin on one side and by the vendee on the other. These boundaries indicate that the property purchased lay on the downstream side of Breau's original purchase.

    At the time of his death, he still owned land at La Pointe as well as at "Grande Prairie" (present day Lafayette).

    The marriage record of Agricole Breau dated 1 Jun 1813 recites that his deceased father, Firmin Breau, resided at La Pointe (present day Breaux Bridge) while he lived.

    Prior to his death, he made a donation of his property to his six sons and six daughters. He made the donations to his daughters in the names of their husbands, as Louisiana law at the time prohibited married women from holding legal title to land separately from their husbands.
