    The above baptismal record is for the Roman Catholic diocese covering this area, but it was an itinerant priest who came. New Gascony was in Jefferson County, southwest of the Arkansas River, near Pine Bluff, while the Dumond families lived near St Charles, on the White River in Arkansas County.  Other records indicate they were there once to twice a yar to confirm marriages, baptize children and perform other rites.

    St. Peter's Catholic Cemetery, New Gascony, Arkansas
    "Located on Morgan Road at the former town site of New Gascony in Jefferson County [near Pine Bluff], is the two acre St. Peter's Cemetery site.  The foundation of a small c. 1855 parish church lies within the 1919 iron fence of the cemetery which is located within a cotton field.  Volunteers from St. Joseph's parish in Pine Bluff have documented 53 burials dating from the first recorded death date of 1827.  Not all of the monuments are visible and some are just jumbled segments of grave markers."

    In the 1960 census Thérèse (Teresa) was reported as the youngest of two children.  Thérèse is spelled in a somewhat anglicized manner as Toresa [Teresa].  The wife of her father Caliste here is her step mother, Sarah M Haga.

    Teresa married George Harris about 1873.  Their first child, Mary Elizabeth Harris, was born in about 1874, going by her reported age of 6 in the June 1880 census.  No marriage record has been found.  No record has been found for them in the 1870 census.

    The name of the oldest child at first looks like MargE.  But then there is a writeover, that looks more like MaryE.  The name Mary E would match the name of a child a correspondent reprots as his ancestor, Mary Elizabeth Harris, daughter of Teresa and George.

    "Mary Elizabeth Harris, Theresa's daughter is my 2nd ggrandmother.  She married a Henry Long, Point Deluxe [Point DeLuce].  If I'm not mistaken Therese was baptized at the fort.  My understanding is that there is interesting history about a fort there and our people."

    There is a puzzling memorial on Find a Grave for a child of Caliste Dumond, whose wife is not linked or reported.  The name on the memorial is Mary Theresa Dumond, which combines the names of the two daughters we know about of Caliste Dumond and Desirée Pinot.  The names from baptismal and family sources, reported on this page and elsewhere, are Mary Elizabeth Dumond and Thérèse or Teresa Ann Dumond.

    The memorial for Mary Theresa Dumond reports her birth date as 28 January 1882, and death date as 11 December 1902, with death in LaGrue.  Burial is in the Roach Family Cemetery, a family we do not know about in this genelaogy.  The birth date reported for our Thérèse Ann Dumond in the 1900 census (which is often off by about a year) is August 1852, 30 years before this Mary Theresa Dumond.
