About Valentin Dubroca
Valentin2 DUBROCA (Bernard Maurice 1) was born in Mobile, AL October 10, 1805 and died November 20, 1882 in Baton Rouge, LA, at 77 years of age.
He had two spousal relationships.
He married Therese Alzire ALLAIN in Baton Rouge, LA, St. Joseph Church, April 10, 1826. They had 9 children.
Valentin also had a relationship with Mary Ann JUPITER (DUBROCA) beginning in about 1830. Mary was born 1803, the daughter of JUPITER. Mary died April 1910 in W. Baton Rouge, LA, at 106 years of age. It is believed that Mary Ann was the daughter of an African slave/companion of Bernard Dubroca's, named Jupiter. Jupiter accompanied Bernard from the Mobile area to the Baton Rouge locale and stayed with him for many years. Mary Ann and Valentin, Bernard's son, apparently grew up together and shared a loving bond as adults that developed during their childhood. Her April 30, 1910 burial record, in St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery, lists her name as "Mary Ann Dubroca" and her age as 107. They had one child.

From http://files.usgwarchives.net/la/pointecoupee/history/family/dubroc...
Valentin is generally considered to be the key ancestor of the Dubroca families who have been so prominent in the history of Baton Rouge and surrounding areas.
The book "Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Louisiana" (pub. 1892) has
several mentions of Valentin and his family, stating that he was brought to West Baton Rouge Parish as a child by his parents who settled on "Anchorage Plantation", a part of Iberville Plantation. He was sent abroad to finish his education, graduating from the College of Blois, France. He intended to stay in France and study painting, but the death of his father forced his return, on the same ship that brought the Maquis de Lafayette on a visit to the United States. He became a wealthy planter, with an estate valued at $38,000 in 1850, but lost heavily during the Civil War. The 1870 census shows him as an overseer with no estate value. He died, "a Jacksonian democrat of uncompromising stripe throughout life." The 1850 Census lists Valentin and his family as living in the West Baton Rouge Parish.
