E5 Joseph Guidry (28) b. 1735 m. 1767 Elizabeth (Isabelle) Madelaine Comeau. (b. 1737 d. 1821) d. 1815 at St. James Parish, LA. Joseph is believed to be the first Guidry to settle in Louisiana; arrived around 1765 at the first Acadian Coast (St. James Parish) and believed to be part of group led by Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil who ventured to Santo Domingo (Haiti) before coming to LA. In 1766, a Joseph Guidry, age 32, is reported to have belonged to the militia of St. James, LA and was a participant of the Revolutionary War. A list of Militia of St. James in 1770 lists Joseph age 37 and married and living on the left (descending) bank of the Mississippi River. Joseph and Elizabeth were still living in the census of 1810 at St. James Parish. I believe that this was that Joseph. He died in 1815 at 85 years old.
