Roger,

A key issue is the location of Verret's Company on 4/8/1766 since the
1764 families are listed on it.

Charles Mouton and his family were listed on 1 January 1766 at
Champflore, Martinique. He does not appear in any of the 1766 census in
Louisiana. The first evidence of Charles Mouton in Louisiana is the
January 23, 1770 muster roll of the first Company of the Acadian Coast
Militia where he is listed as a fusilier, resident of the left bank of
the Mississippi River, and a twenty-eight year old married man.

Louis and Salvador Mouton, brother's of Charles, and Jean Mouton,
nephew of Charles, had arrived in Louisiana earlier and were listed in
the census of Verret's Company 8 April 1766.

Louis is listed at Restigouche on 24 October 1760, as a prisoner at Ft.
Edward on 5 October 1761, 12 July 1762, 9 August 1762, and at Port
Royal in 1763. In New Orleans on 2 Dec 1765, his daughter,
Anne-Charlotte, born 15 Feb 1764, was baptised.

Salvador Mouton is listed as a prisoner at Ft. Edward on on 5 October
1761, 12 July 1762, 9 August 1762, and at Port Royal in 1763. In New
Orleans on 2 Dec 1765, his daughter, Marie-Genevieve, born 15 Sep
[1765?], was baptised.

Jean Mouton is listed as a prisoner at Ft. Edward on 5 October 1761, 12
July 1762, 9 August 1762, and at Port Royal in 1763. In New Orleans on
25 Dec 1765, his daughter, Marguerite-Francoise, born 20 Nov 1765, was
baptised.

From the baptismal dates of the children, it would seem Louis, Salvador

and Jean arrived in Louisiana in late November 1765.
