Note: In "Louisiana Soldiers in the War of 1812" by John Bennett Pierson, Jean Baptiste, Silvain,Telesphore, and Honorè are listed as members of the 5th Regiment, 1st Division of the Louisiana MIlitia. They served between December, 1814 through March, 1815. They are also included in the internet listing at http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgwenweb/la/la1812/la1812b.txt I don't know whether or where this unit actually saw action during the Battle of New Orleans.

Silvain and Honorè apparently resettled in Lafourche and Terrebonne Parishes. Their descendants dropped the final "u" and today today use the spelling Baudoin. I don't WANT to know too much about Honorè, because I'm related to the Champagnes on my mother's side. Talk about a shallow gene pool! On top of that, Telesphore remarried into the Toups family.
