Cutrer: West Florida Revolt (Louisiana)

In 1803 the United States purchased France’s territory west of the Mississippi River including New Orleans. Along with coastal counties in Mississippi, Alabama and the panhandle of Florida, the Louisiana parishes pictured in red below were not part of the Louisiana Purchase and remained under Spanish rule. This area stretched from the Mississippi River east to the Pearl River.

The Florida Parishes by JW1805 at Wikipedia.org

About this same time, Joseph Cutrer and his wife Mary Ann Pendarvis* were moving from Orangeburg, SC, to Spanish West Florida in the red shaded area just south of the Mississippi line. They arrived in 1804.

 Joseph Cutrer (1772-1829)

“Things were peaceful until 1808, when Spain appointed Col. Charles Delassus as governor. The inefficiency and corruption of officials under him threatened the prosperity of American colonists in West Florida, who presented demands for political reform. Delassus pretended to go along, while secretly plotting to arrest the ringleaders.” (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-history-of-the-short-lived-independent-republic-of-florida-28056078/)

The Law Library of Louisiana presents a nice timeline of events (https://lasc.libguides.com/c.php?g=683636&p=4847561#:~:text=In%20the%20early%20hours%20of,star%20on%20a%20blue%20field.):

West Florida Revolt

June through September 1810 - groups of men dissatisfied with Spanish rule met both secretly and openly.

September 23, 1810 - during the early hours, rebels under the command of Philemon Thomas attacked Fort San Carlos in Baton Rouge. After a brief firefight, the rebels controlled the fort. They then raised the flag of the new Republic of West Florida, a white star on a blue field.

October 27, 1810 - President Madison issued a proclamation declaring his intent to take possession of the territory. Soon afterward, the governor of the Orleans Territory, William C.C. Claiborne, and the governor of the Mississippi Territory, David Holmes, prepared to annex the new republic.

November 7, 1810 - the citizens of the new republic elected a bicameral legislature, and a governor, Fulwar Skipwith. His inauguration took place November 29. Governor Holmes went to their new capital, St. Francisville, and persuaded most leaders to surrender. Skipwith and others left for the stronghold in Baton Rouge.

December 7, 1810 - Governor Claiborne issued an ordinance designating the land comprising the Republic of West Florida as the county of Feliciana.

December 10, 1810 - that afternoon the last defenders of the Republic of West Florida marched out of Fort San Carlos and laid down their arms. The takeover was complete.

However, the U.S. was slow to officially annex the region. On November 20, 1811, Joseph Cutrer was one of 411 signers of a petition sent to both houses of Congress asking that the area be attached to the Mississippi Territory. Their reasons were based on the “difference of people, language, manners, customs, and politics.”  (Sources: 1. Cadastral Patterns in Louisiana: A Colonial Legacy, Carolyn Oliver French, 1978, https://repository.lsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4200&context=gradschool_disstheses, Appendix I, page 198; 2. Chapter 8 - West Florida Republic at https://www.hancockcountyhistoricalsociety.com/history/early-history-hancock-county--ms)

Looks like their petition was ignored, but thanks to the tireless efforts of the “rebels” in the West Florida Revolt, Louisiana was finally admitted as a state in 1812. There are no U.S. Censuses until 1820. However, tax lists compiled from the property owners in Washington, St. Tammany and eastern Tangipahoa Parishes for the years 1811-1812 show Joseph Cutrer and his brothers: Henry Cutrer, Isaac Cutrer, and John Cutrer. (From https://sites.rootsweb.com/~lawashin/history.html)

Louisiana parishes once part of the Republic of West Florida are:

East Baton Rouge Parish

East Feliciana Parish

Livingston Parish

St. Helena Parish

St. Tammany Parish

Tangipahoa Parish

Washington Parish

West Feliciana Parish

Today, these are still referred to as the “Florida Parishes”.

FRANCE to New Orleans, LA: Mercier, Jacques - immigrated bef 12 Nov 1871

FRANCE to New Orleans, LA: Mercier, Francois - immigrated 1872

Originally, the hunt for immigration records was just for Francois Mercier but ended up including his father, Jacques Mercier. Since Francois “Frank” was age 29 when he immigrated, he spent most of his life in New Orleans. On the other hand, Jacques “Jacob” was about age 57, but technically, he was the first one who arrived. So, they both earn the “boat” icon in the family lineage at the end of this post. More about Jacques’ life in France can be found in a future post under the category “Across the Pond”.

As of this post, no passenger lists have been found for Jacques or Francois Mercier or their wives. Interestingly, documents tied to their sons give us information that may lead to future discoveries.

 While checking the detailed records for all of Jacques’ children while they were in France, I came across Francois’ marriage certificate in 1865 that gives his parents names and where they were living. When I came across another son, Pierre’s marriage certificate dated 12 Nov 1871, it records that his parents Jacques Mercier and Catherine Flotat had both emigrated to the United States of America. (From Belfort, Alsace, France, Birth, Marriage and Death Registers, 1599-1919, at Ancestry.com, accessed 8 Nov 2023.)

So, some time between Oct 1865 and Nov 1871, Jacques emigrated to America. I wonder why was he in such a hurry to leave everything behind and start over in another country at age 57? My husband suggested that he might have wanted to avoid conscription into a war with Germany that seemed imminent (and that DID break out 19 Jul 1870). Other Merciers had settled in New Orleans decades before this time period. Perhaps, they had written letters to relatives talking about how great life was in Louisiana.

So Jacques’ timeline looks like this:

1814 Apr 25 - Jacques Mercier is born in Grandvillars, Belfort, Alsace, France

1842 Jul 7 - Jacques Mercier marries Catherine Flotat in Grandvillars, Belfort, Alsace, France

1861 Grandvillars, Belfort, Alsace, France, Census - Jacques Mercier, age 47, and Catherine Flotat, age 36, living in the “neighborhood of factories” with:

Francois - age 18

Catherine - age 16

Pierre - age 14

Julie - age 12

Marie - age 5

Eugenie - age 2

Julie(-Louise) - age 8 days old

1871 Nov 12 - Jacques’ son, Pierre’s marriage certificate states that his parents, Jacques Mercier and Catherine Flotat, have already emigrated to the United States

1878 New Orleans City Directory - Mercier Jacques, gardener, residence north side of N. Rampart between Bartholomew and Mazant Sts.

1880 Jun 30 U.S. Census - Jacques and Catherine Mercier (Francois’ parents) are in New Orleans living on Jeanne St., he is age 66 and a gardener, she is age 56 keeping house, both born in France, and living with adopted son, Jules Mercier, age 18, a baker born in Louisiana.

1892 February - New Orleans City Directory - Mercier Jacques, laborer, residence north side of Royal between Mazant and French Sts. Jules, the adopted son, is living at the same address.

1892 Apr 3 - Jacques “Jacob” Mercier dies in New Orleans age 77. Burial location not known.

Now, on to Francois “Frank” Mercier:

The first clue starts with the 1900 U.S. Census where “Frank” Mercier says he immigrated in 1872. However, no passenger lists showing him and/or his family have turned up for the time period 1868-1874.

On Nov 8, I decided to check naturalization records and found a naturalization record for Francois’ oldest son, Joseph Jules Mercier, that sheds light on how they got to America. From “Louisiana, U.S. Naturalization Records, 1836-2001: Eastern District Court, Questionnaire for Naturalization Petitions, 1911-1929”:

Joseph Jule Mercier

Residence: 4221 Dauphine St., New Orleans

Occupation: Laborer

Born: 7 Dec 1866 at Grandvillars, France

Emigrated from: Le Havre, France, on 25 Nov 1872

Arrived at: New Orleans on 18 Dec 1872 on the vessel Frankfort

Declaration of intention to become a U.S. citizen: 21 Feb 1888 at Camp and Lafayette Sts. in the Criminal District Court of New Orleans (these courts handled naturalization)

After naming his wife and four children, he goes on to state he has lived in the U.S. since 18 Dec 1872 in the state of Louisiana.

Two Witnesses: Nicholas J. Fraiche, Dec 1895 and Andrew J. Kieran, Nov 1900

Even though I have not found a passenger list, the above is a good source given that Joseph Jules Mercier would have been age 6 in 1872 and was probably with his parents.

Through baptismal records, marriage records, and census lists from Belfort, Alsace, France, we can piece together Francois “Frank” Mercier’s life:

1843 Aug 24 - Francois Mercier is born in Grandvillars, Belfort, Alsace, France, to Jacques Mercier (1814-1892) and Catherine Flotat (1825-aft 1880)

1865 Sep 11 - Francois Mercier and Catherine Thomas marry in Grandvillars, Belfort, Alsace, France.

1872 May 10 Grandvillars, Belfort, Alsace, France, Census - Francois Mercier age 28 and Catherine Thomas age 28 are with Joseph age 5 and Dominique age 3

1872 Oct 1 - deadline to let German authorities know if they will retain French citizenship (more about this in “Across the Pond”)

1872 Nov 25 - family departs Le Havre, France, bound for New Orleans, LA

1872 Dec 18 - family arrives in New Orleans, LA

1874 New Orleans City Directory - Mercier Francois, laborer with Lhote & Co., residence N. Claiborne at the corner of Spain St. This same year, there are other Merciers already established in New Orleans:

Peter Mercier shown above is Francois’ brother. Out of Jacques’ nine known children, three are known to have lived in New Orleans (Francois’ sister, Julie, being the third).

1880 Jul 1-2 U.S. Census - Francois and Catherine Mercier are in New Orleans living at 59 Lesseps St., both age 36, both born in France, both sets of parents born in France. He’s a laborer. She’s keeping house. Four children:

Joseph - age 14, a laborer born in France

Dominique - age 11, at school born in France

Marie - age 6 born in France (incorrect)

Jacques (“Jack”) - age 1 born in Louisiana

1892 New Orleans City Directory - Mercier Francois, laborer, residence 23 Lesseps St.

1900 June 13 U.S. Census - Frank is in New Orleans living with his daughter Amelia and her husband, Gabriel Biane, at 619 France St. He is a widow, age 57, born in France, immigrated in 1872, is naturalized, and cannot read, write or speak English.

1903 Dec 27 - two days after Christmas, Francois “Frank” Mercier dies age 60. Burial location not known.

FRANCE to New Orleans, LA: Biane, Bernard Francoise - immigrated mid-1800s

FRANCE to New Orleans, LA: Meyer, Elisa Alice - immigrated mid-1800s (Alsace-Lorraine)

This morning (5 Nov 2023), I located the marriage of Bernard Beane (sic) and Eliza Meyer at FamilySearch.org: "Louisiana Parish Marriages, 1837-1957", , FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKJC-9318 : Mon Oct 23 14:56:12 UTC 2023), Entry for Bernard Beane and Eliza Meyer, 23 Apr 1868. The mention of Eliza being the Ward of Jean Baptiste Pittaluga led to me finding Eliza’s parents and grandparents in Alsace-Lorraine, France.

The top part reads: …Jean Baptiste Pittaluga…declared to me that he gives his consent to the marriage of his Ward Eliza Meyer a Minor, aged 15 years, with Bernard Beane… 23 Apr 1868.

 

 As shown directly above, Bernard’s signature shows his last name is Biane. There's also a witness, A. Lanartes(?). He showed up also in 1866 (see below).

So, now the hunt begins for finding out more about Jean Baptiste Pittaluga in New Orleans, LA.

In 1866, the New Orleans City Directory shows J.B. Pittaluga living at 352 Villere St. (This could be modern-day North or South Villere St.)

Other searches for Jean Baptiste Pittaluga in New Orleans reveal that he died at age 57 (birth year 1814) on 22 Jul 1871 in New Orleans, and his will shows he had two daughters: Marie and Clementine (also a popular name in the Biane family). His inventory shows he owned an “Oyster Saloon” that also served wine and liquors on Chartres Street between St. Louis and Toulouse Streets.

His wife’s name is Philomena Steyertt (also transcribed Strayer), and they married on 5 Aug 1864 in New Orleans, LA. She is from Alsace, France, was born abt. 1840 and died age 30 on 18 Dec 1870 in New Orleans, LA. On her death record, it shows his name as Jean Baptiste Pittalouga. Her death certificate says Philomena Steyertt, wife of Jean Baptiste Pittalouga, a native of Alsace, France, age 30, died on 12 Dec 1870. More about her later.

Now, I remembered that our Gabriel Bernard Biane in the 1930 Census said his mother (Eliza) was born in Alsace-Lorraine (a historically contested area where France meets Germany):

I did a quick search for Philomena and found a birth record of 7 Sep 1840 in Dannemarie, Altkirch, France (Haut-Rhin, Alsace births 1504-1922). If this is her, her parents are Joseph Steyert and Elisabeth Fasser (transcribed Faffer and Fassa). I made a quick mental note of this.

So I started digging in records for Altkirch, Haut-Rhin, Alsace, France. I found the church still located at 25 Rue du Château courtesy of Google Satellite Maps:

 

THANK GOD FOR CHURCH RECORDS! Combining my basic knowledge of German and French, my husband’s knowledge of French, and Google Translate, I was able to identify Eliza’s parents, grandparents, and confirm that Philomena is an aunt! I’ve never hit such a genealogical jackpot! 

Thanks to detailed church records from “Haut-Rhin, France, Births, Marriages, and Deaths 1504-1922”, I was able to fill in the missing pieces:

Joseph Steyert, b. 1799, d. aft 1840, worked as a boulanger (master of bread baking) m. abt. 1830, Elisabeth Fasser b. 1807, d. aft 1840. They had at least 2 daughters:

1) Anne Steyert, b. 13 Sep 1831, Dannemarie, Altkirch, Haut-Rhin, Alsace, France, d. bef 1866, Altkirch, Haut-Rhin, Alsace, France m. abt 1849, Remy Meyer, b. 1822, d. aft 1855, worked as a boulanger (master of bread baking). They had at least 5 children:

a) Remy, Jr., b. 19 Nov 1850, Altkirch, Haut-Rhin, Alsace, France

b) Xavier, b. 30 Dec 1851, Altkirch, Haut-Rhin, Alsace, France

c) Marie Louise, b. 30 Dec 1852 at 3 a.m., Altkirch, Haut-Rhin, Alsace, France

d) Elise “Eliza”, b. 30 Jan 1854 at 2 p.m., Altkirch, Haut-Rhin, Alsace, France, d. 26 Jun 1890, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, m. 23 Apr 1868 in New Orleans, Bernard Francois Biane, b. Jan 1844 France, d. 20 Jan 1919, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana

e) Ulric, b. 5 Oct 1855, Altkirch, Haut-Rhin, Alsace, France

2) Philomena Steyert, b. 7 Sep 1840, Dannemarie, Altkirch, Haut-Rhin, Alsace, France, d. 12 Dec 1870, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, m. 5 Aug 1864 in New Orleans, Jean Baptiste Pittaluga, b. 1814, d. 22 Jul 1871, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana. They had at least 2 daughters:

a) Marie, b. 2 Jul 1866 at 8 p.m. in Altkirch, Haut-Rhin, Alsace, France, d. aft 1871 

b) Clementine (Twin), b. 11 Nov 1867, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, d. aft 1871

c) Eleonore (Twin), b. 11 Nov 1867, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, d. bef her father’s death on 22 Jul 1871 since she is not named in his will

What is most interesting to me is that for the birth of Philomena’s first child, she and her husband went back to her hometown of Altkirch so her baby could be born at her parents’ house. Thanks to the inventory of his will, we know that Jean Baptiste Pittaluga owned an “Oyster Saloon” on Chartres Street that had wine and liquor valued in the inventory. So, he was doing pretty good to be able to afford to take his pregnant wife back to France. They probably stayed in nice ship cabins and not in the steerage section. Here is the description of the birth with my quickie translation beneath:

 “1866 2 July...Jean Baptiste Pittaluga, age 51 and living in “Nouvel Orleans” North America presents…a female…born today at 8 in the evening, at the Steyertt house, and Philomena, age 27 and living in New Orleans…” I also noticed that one of the witnesses, A. Lanartes(?), also witnessed Eliza’s marriage papers in New Orleans in 1868.

I think this is when Philomena first met her niece, Elise “Eliza” Meyer, who would’ve been age 12. I don’t know what had happened to Eliza’s parents, but it’s odd Anne stopped having children after 1855 (when she was age 24).

Future research would be to see if there’s a passenger list from Le Havre, France, to New Orleans with the Pittalugas and baby Marie along with Elise “Eliza” Meyer and A. Lanartes (?) between Sep 1866 (birth of Marie in France) and Nov 1867 (birth of twins in New Orleans).

To follow up with Philomena, I wonder if she was strutting her pregnant stuff when she got back to Altkirch in 1866. She had married a man with money who could afford to bring her back home for the birth of their first child. Then, she found out her sister had possibly died. Perhaps Eliza looked like Anne. By 1868, Philomena has a 2-year old, possibly twins, and her husband has guardianship of Eliza in New Orleans. I don’t know if she suffered from post-partum depression or what, but we find her death record 18 Dec 1870 (From "Louisiana, Orleans Parish Death Records and Certificates, 1835-1954", , FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:ZHS8-RHMM : Sat Oct 14 02:39:31 UTC 2023), Entry for Philomene Steyertt and Jean Baptiste Pittalouga, 18 Dec 1870):

 “... Philomene Steyertt, wife of Jean Baptiste Pittalouga, a native of Alsace, France, aged 30, died on the 12th day of December 1870 at the Louisiana Retreat. Cause of Death: Insanity.”

Death by insanity? That’s a new one. I guess it could mean death from suicide, accidental deaths, or physical illness.

The Louisiana Retreat was run by nine sisters from the Sisters of Charity. It was the only private, clean, well-run house for mentally ill patients (called an asylum for inmates back in the day). According to an 1872 newspaper article, monthly charges varied from $15-$60, and the Retreat was already full. (https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-times-picayune-history-of-the-louisi/21770028/)
