Antoine Born was born 22 June 1736 at what was called the German Coast of Louisiana at Destrehan, St. Charles Parish, Louisiana. He was the son of Jacque Antoine LeBron of Northern France, who arrived in Louisiana on the La Marie in 1718. Passengers on the La Marie were the first Europeans to settle at present day St. Charles Parish, Louisiana. Jacque would become the father of all Bornes in the United States. He settled in an area between present day Kenner, Louisiana and Norco, Louisiana.
At the age of 12 years, after a Choctaw Indian raid that killed a neighbor, Antoine’s family moved across the river to a place now named Hahnville, Louisiana. In 1756, Antoine married Anne Marie Heidel (later spelled as Haydel) at St. John the Baptist Parish, Colonial Louisiana, now named Edgard, St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana.
The name of Antoine Borne appears in the roster of the 2nd Company, Volunteer Militia of the German Coast of Louisiana, 01 June 1778, under the overall command of Governor General Bernardo de Gálvez. Antoine is likely one of the men in at least the initial force of 600 men assembled by Gálvez in August 1779, who marched more than 100 miles to challenge the British at Fort Bute of Manchac, 7 September 1779, and the British fort at Baton Rouge, 21 September 1779.
Antoine died 11 May 1809, aged 71 years, at St. John the Baptist Parish, Edgard, Louisiana.
Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
