He and Françoise settled on the Vermilion. Their daughter married into the Landry family. Joseph died probably on the Vermilion in February 1793, in his early 30s. His sons and grandsons settled in what became Lafayette and Vermilion parishes. They were especially numerous around Abbeville on the lower Vermilion.
