General Notes
- Joseph, second son of Charles Guédry and his second wife Agnès Bourg, born at St.-Servan, near St.-Malo, France, in March 1766, followed his parents to Poitou in the early 1770s as part of what proved to be a failed attempt to settle Acadians on an influential nobleman's land and retreated with them to Nantes, France, in November 1775. He came to Louisiana with his widowed father and siblings aboard Le Beaumont, the third of the Seven Ships, in 1785, and followed them to St.-Gabriel de Manchac, south of Baton Rouge. They settled near old Fort Bute, north of Bayou Manchac, where he married Marie-Madeleine, daughter of fellow Acadian Honoré Breaux, in October 1795. Joseph died probably at Manchac by February 1807, when his wife remarried at nearby St. Gabriel. Both of his sons abandoned the river and moved to Bayou Lafourche.
