Pt. Coupee Militia, 1777

Soldiers of the American Revolution from Louisiana
Soldiers under Galvez, Baton Rouge

The following soldiers were part of the Pointe Coupee Militia, documented in Galvez' Army in 1777. It is interesting to note that these soldiers, many of French birth, or the chidlren of French parentage, were serving in a Spanish army, and are elligble for status as American Revolution Veterans as the Spanish assisted the U.S., for example in military action at Baton Rouge during the Revolution..

The Pt. Coupee Chapter of the Louisiana Society of the D.A.R. honored these soldiers in ceremonies as part of the nation's Bicentennial on May 16, 1976. A plaque hangs in the lobby of the Pt. Coupée Courthouse which lists these soldiers. Additional information was added by myself in parentheses. The soldiers are:
