Life History

Notes

• "LOUIS DUMOND b. 1815-1820 d. 23 Oct. 1848, aged 32 years, buried Swan Lake m. in Ark. Co. 29 Apr 1841 THERESE DESRUISSEAUX, daughter of Francois Xavier DesRuisseaux and Marie Chatigny. Had issue. Represented in partition by widow Therese who remarried in Ark Co 9 Aug 1860 W.D. Hair (Hare)."
  --  Grand Prairie Historical Society Bulletin, October 1980
  
  In the 1960 census, about a month after they were married, W D and Teresa were enumerated still in their separate households.  W D Hare is listed with his son, also W D Hare, in one household with a Johnson family, while Teresa (Therecia) is in the next house but with the name Hare, with her two Dumond chidlren.  This is because they married less than a month before the census, and apparently have not yet figured out how to combine their families and dwellings.
  
  The enumerator also erred, reporting the same age for W D and his son, as 27 years old!  W D Sr's age should be about 47.
