Louis Jacques Barbin was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Louisiana militia
by the governor. He served in the 2nd Regiment under Col. Eugene D'Orsier The contract, which was written in French, is filed with the other notarial papers of Pierre Pedesclaux in the New Orleans Notarial Archives, Civil Courts Building (Vol. 64 page 223). It makes it clear that both of Louis Jacques and Irene Francoise came from prosperous families. They also married April 20, 1812 at St. Louis Cathedral, New Orleans. The marriage record is in Spanish, his name is given as Luis Santiago. Because of his profession and fluency in both French and English, Louis Barbin was appointed clerk and translator for the Louisiana Senate, then convening in the capital, New Orleans, serving in that position in 1824-26. On May 5, 1826, he qualified and was appointed Parish Judge of Avoyelles Parish by Governor Henry Johnson and the family moved to the parish seat, Marksville. Barbin was Parish Judge for the rest of his life and also presided over the Avoyelles Police Jury in 1827-28. Sometime after moving to Avoyelles Parish, he apparently decided to anglicize his name and became known as Louis James Barbin. The family home was located aon the northern edge of Marksville where the highway leads out toward the Red River. Also recorded with the Barbin family in 1830 were five slaves: two male slaves, 10-23; one female slave, 24-35; and two male slaves, 55-99. In 1830, Barbin was appointed to a two-year term on the Avoyelles Parish School Board, but he died in 1831 in Marksville. |
