1810 Census, St Martin Parish, Atacapas, Louisiana

1 female 26 - 44
The 1810 census says he was born between 1766 and 1784
The 1820 census says he was born between 1776 and 1794
If both are right, then this man was born between 1776 and 1784
Close enough to be someone baptized in 1775. My math might be off by a year, or theirs could have been.

Created in 1811, St. Mary Parish was originally part of the Attakapas District and St. Martin Parish. In the midst of French culture, exploration, and settlement during the late eighteenth century, St. Mary bears the distinction of being a primarily Anglo-Protestant settlement in the midst of French-Catholic Acadiana. Their dominance in the region is evident in the non-French towns of Franklin, Baldwin, and Patterson.
These early settlers, mostly a wealthy planter class, found the soil and climate ideal for growing sugarcane, and they transformed the existing small farms producing indigo and cotton into some of Louisiana’s earliest sugar plantations. By 1840, St. Mary Parish was recognized as one of the state’s major shippers of sugar.

That is for background, and to explain why he is in St Martin Parish in 1810. He probably didn't move, just that his part of St Martin Parish became part of St Mary Parish when it was formed.

Thanks again. Hopefully his burial may confirm his age.

You could ask here for information also.

Profile manager named at the top of the right column. He is a descendant of John N Kershaw. You can private message him through the site.
There is a Nancy Bartow tree here if you work backward from the manager's tree.

These AKA's might help you find more. But they might have developed later. Might be worth a try.
