"http://www.acadiansingray.com/" Jean-Charles, called Charles, elder son of Charles Comeau and Madeleine Landry, was born probably at Minas in c1749. He was deported with his family to Maryland in 1755. He followed them to Louisiana in 1767 and settled with them at St.-Gabriel on the river above New Orleans. He married Cécile, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph Dugas, at nearby St.-Jacques in September 1776. They settled at St.-Gabriel. Their daughter [Rosalie] married into the Cointment, Dehon, and Henry families. Jean-Charles remarried to Anne-Catherine, called Catherine, daughter of Anglo-American Daniel Boush, at St.-Gabriel in July 1781. Their daughters married into the Hébert and LeBlanc families. Jean Charles died near St. Gabriel in July 1823; the priest who recorded his burial said that Jean Charles was 79 years old when he died, but he was closer to 74. Almost all of his many sons created families of their own and settled in Iberville, West Baton Rouge, and Ascension parishes, adding substantially to the number of Comeauxs living on the river.
