Notes
Birth
Rosemary Wright Hoffpauir in her book The Hoffpauirs of Louisiana states that Francois was born in the Opelousas Territory. However, Rosemary had not discovered that Francois and Amelia were twins, or that they were baptised in New Orleans under the surname "Fermier". Therefore I have to conclude that Rosemary simply assumed that he was born in the Opelousas Territory, based on the fact that Thomas was known to have moved there earlier.Alt name
Francois was baptized by a Spanish priest, and was given Spanish names while Thomas was using the surname Fermier.Endnotes
