Biography

Parents, Birth, Baptism

 Jacques Guy Dreux, son of Guy Dreux and Pelagia Beauregard, was born 28 Dec 1778 and baptized on 19 Jan 1779 at the St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans, Louisiana.^[1]

Marriages, Children

 Jacques seems to have been married three times. As of 20 Nov 2018, no marriage records have been found and the surnames of the three women are unknown.
 His first wife was Henriette and they were probably married sometime around 1805.^{[citation needed]} They had two known children:

1. Jean Francois Philogene Dreux:^[2]
• Born: 15 Aug 1807
• Baptized: 23 Feb 1822
• Married:
• Died:
2. Andre Octave Dreux:^[3]
• Born: 27 Dec 1809
• Baptized: 23 Feb 1822
• Married:
• Died:

 His second wife was named Constance and they were married around 1812.^{[citation needed]} They only had one known child together:

1. Octavia Dreux:^[4]
• Born: 15 Mar 1816
• Baptized: 15 Feb 1822
• Married:
• Died:

 His third wife was named Lucia and they were married around 1818.^{[citation needed]} They too only had one known child together:

1. Isabelle Dreux:^[5]
• Born: ca. Dec 1820
• Baptized: 15 Feb 1822
• Married:
• Died:

Death, Burial

 As of 20 Nov 2018, no death or burial record has been found.

Notes

 The three marriages are speculative. I believe that there were three women for the following reasons:

1. Octavia and Isabelle were baptized on the same day so if their mothers were the same person, her name would most likely NOT have been recorded differently simply because the clergyman turned the page.
2. Jean and Andre were baptized the following weekend and the same name was given for both of them, different than the name given the previous week.
