***********************************************************
Augustín Severino Matéo was the son of Anne-Marie Josèphe Guillory and Juan Agosto Matéo. He married Marie-Josèphe Ramòn.
Sydalise Matéo, born Abt. 1828 married Vital LeBlanc, born Abt. 1824, from Avoyelles Parish.
1849 Oct. 29
Rocoffort, (S.J.), Father L(ouis): Opelousas, (Louisiana) to Father (Stephen Rousselon: New Orleans, Louisiana)
A young man of color, Vital Leblanc, told Rocoffort some time ago that he wished to marry Sydalise Matteo assuring him that they were not related. One of their neighbors said yesterday that their fathers are brothers with the same mother. Rocoffort does not know whether this is true but he asks for the necessary dispensation which he will not use unless it seems indispensable and to avoid scandal. St. Landry parish is quiet. The Father (Simon) Rominger affair is forgotten. Everyone seems indifferent to what goes on in the church. Rocoffort holds strictly to the instruction given by the president of the college. He makes no visits or missions. He is ready to serve when asked.
1849 Nov. 20
Rocoffort, (S.J.), Father L(ouis): Opelousas, (Louisiana)to Father (Stephen) Rousselon: New Orleans, (Louisiana)
He thought he should use the dispensation he asked for during the past month, in favor of Vital Leblanc. There are few free persons of color in their parish and their differences in fortune make it difficult to ally with strangers. To send them away at the time of marriage creates a scandal. They might not resist the temptation to be married by the judge.
