Joseph Dupuis was born about 1737 to Antoine Dupuis and Marie Ann Dugas in Acadie.
He was present at the Church of St. Charles-des-Mines when men and boys were read the “Order of Deportation” and held prisoner in the church for a month until being expelled to Connecticut. In 1763, at the end of the French Indian War, he left with his family, arriving in Mirebalais, St. Domingue, meeting sickness and death. The remnants of his family left for Louisiana and arrived at St. Gabriel, Louisiana, in 1767.
He married Anne Marie Hebert on 27 Mar 1769 at St. Gabriel and lived there until his death. Their known children were:
Joseph Aubry Dupuy was born on 14 February 1770 and married Marie Clotilde Devillier.
Jean Dupuy was born on 24 January 1773 and married Marine Marianne Cloatre.
Anne Melanie Dupuy was born on 23 March 1775 and married Bartholomew Hamilton.
Magloire Dupuy was baptized on 18 May 1777 and married Heniette Serret.
Paul Hypolite Dupuy was born on 27 January 1779 and married Maria Magdelene Schlatre.
Helene (Ellen Louise) Dupuy was born on 13 July 1781 and married (1) Joseph Zacherie Hebert and (2) Joseph Rinbaud.
Joseph was a fusilier under Commandant Louis Dutisne in the Iberville Militia of Bernardo de Galvez’s army. He participated in the capturing of the British at Fort Bute at Manchac and at the Fort at Baton Rouge.
The Patriot died on 7 December 1781 and was buried at the St. Gabriel Catholic Church Cemetery. His grave is now lost to the encroachment of the Mississippi River.
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.
