Simon-Pierre DAIGLE, fils (1766-1816?; Olivier, Olivier, fils, Olivier III)

Simon-Pierre, fils, second son of Simon-Pierre Daigle and his first wife Marie-Madeleine Thériot, born at Sauzon, Belle-Ile-en-Mer, France, in June 1766, came to Louisiana with his father, stepmother, and siblings to Louisiana aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships, in 1785. He followed them to Fort Bute, Manchac, south of Baton Rouge, but did not settle there. In the 1790s, he crossed the Atchafalaya Basin and married Françoise, daughter of fellow Acadian Michel Trahan and widow of Jacques Fostin, at Attakapas in February 1798. A Simon Daigle, "instituteur [teacher] at Benjamin Broussard's inhabitant on the Lake at Baigneux," died at Agricole Landry's home on the Vermilion River in January 1816. The priest who recorded his burial did not give Simon's parents' names, his age at the time of his death, or mention a wife. One wonders if this was Simon-Pierre Daigle, fils; if it was, he would have died at age 50. He and his wife, who died in the late 1820s, seem to have had no children, so this line of the family did not survive.
