Male Est 1814 - 1870  (~ 56 years)


Personal Information    |    PDF

  • Name Charles Washington Grenaut 
    • As long as this notice exists, I do not have certain documentation for the following and assumptions have been used to establish relationships that make some sort of sense. These children all show in the 1870 census, living with Octavie. From census and city directory information, it appears that Charles' two most recent widows, (3)Octavie and (4)Marie, shared in the care of all of Charles' children who were not yet out on their own and at different times, each of these two widows lived with Charles (b.1854) and near his siblings (which children were more established). — See explanation by each child below
         • It appears that Charles Washington Grenot died between 1866 (birth of the youngest child of those children which indications suggest are his) and the 1870 census. I don't have any census for any year that shows Charles at all.
         • dau: Marie b.1853 is probably child of Octavie as she was born just before son Charles.
         • son: Seraphin b.1855 living with Octavie is probably child of Octavie.
         • son: Octave b.1867 is adopted by Octavie. Parents unknown.
         • son: Joseph b.1859 is probably child of Marie as she married Charles in 1857.
         • dau: Stella b.1862 is probably child of Marie as she married Charles in 1857.
         • dau: Bertha b.1865 is probably child of Marie as she married Charles in 1857.
         • dau: Maria b.1866 is probably child of Marie as she married Charles in 1857.
