7. Joseph Claude Trahan (3.Marie2, 1.Pierre1) was born About 1740, Acadia, New France; died 1831. Notes:
Bona Arsenault said that Joseph Trahan was "probably" the son of Jean Trahan and Marie Girouard and born about 1740. However, the 1752 census by Sieur de la Roque shows the family of Jean and Marie without a son Joseph. This obviously casts strong doubt on Arsenault's speculation.
All that is known is that Joseph Trahan, the son of Joseph Trahan and Elizabeth Aucoin, was married at St. Martin of Tours Church on 24 June 1783. It is unknown when he arrived in Louisiana or from where he came. Nothing other than their names is known of his parents.Joseph married Elizabeth Aucoin. [Group Sheet]

Joseph, fils probably had come to the colony as a young orphan in the late 1760s and lived on the river before crossing the Atchafalaya Basin to the Attakapas District. He and Françoise settled on the Vermilion. Their daughter married into the Landry family. Joseph died probably on the Vermilion in February 1793, in his early 30s. His sons and grandsons settled in what became Lafayette and Vermilion parishes. They were especially numerous around Abbeville on the lower Vermilion.
