Ann: The explanation I have heard is that Joseph had a large boned structure and big feet, so his branch was called 'the Big Foot Melders' and Felix was of a smaller stature and smaller feet, ergo, 'Little Foot Melders'.They were also known by the area where they settled.One settled on Spring Creek, Felix I think, so they were called the Spring Creek Melders and Joseph's tribe settled on Calcasieu River so they were referred to as Calcasieu Melders.
The Catholic Church records in Natchitoches, LA say Petrus was buried on 3 Sep 1836. There are also records for two children: Therese, no age given, 23 Oct 1835 and Desire (Desiderus), about three years old, buried 1 Nov 1835.

He may have died at sea. No ship's passenger manifest has been found yet. Let's exchange data. BobMore Replies:
