|
| Notes |
- Listed among the Acadians who were in New Orleans in 1767. "Volunteered" for duty in the district militia, February 12, 1770.
Identified in the August 1, 1770, census of the right bank of Ascension Parish as a seventeen-year-old member of his widowed mother's household.
Identified as Joseph Landry, le jeune, in the December 3, 1775, slave census of Ascension Parish. In a slave census he compiled on December 3, 1775, Commandant Louis Judice noted that he owned two slaves.
The April 15, 1777, census of the Ascension Parish settlers established above Bayou Lafourche indicates that he was the twenty-four-year-old head of a household that included the following persons: Isabelle (Elizabeth) LeBlanc, his wife, 24 years old; Louis Landry, his son, 1 year old; and the Veuve Landry, his mother, 66 years old.
Joseph Landry dit Belhomme and his family owned a tract of land with six arpents frontage on the Mississippi River. They also owned four slaves, thirty cows, two horses, eight sheep, twenty hogs, and two muskets.
On July 27, 1777, at a meeting of all district settlers to discuss the merits of a proposal presented to the governor by ranchers in other districts to allow cattle to range freely throughout the year, he joined fifty-three other Lafourche de Chetimachas landowners in signing a petition expressing his opposition to the recommendation "made by people too lazy to make pens big enough to provide pasturage for their herds."
He appears to have been one of only six Ascension Parish Acadians who committed themselves to grow tobacco as part of the Spanish government's effort to encourage Louisiana farmers to produce marketable staple crops, April 23, 1777.
On April 25, 1778, the estate of his late wife, Isabelle leBlanc, was inventoried and appraised. The probate inventory indicates that she and Joseph Landry owned a tract of land with six arpents frontage on the Mississippi River. Improvements on the property included a house measuring twenty by sixteen feet. Ancillary buildings included a small shed and two slave cabins. The estate was valued at 350 piastres.
Appointed sergeant first-class in the district militia, September 1, 1779.
Appointed sublieutenant in the district militia unit, February 12, 1792, one day after was nominated by Commandant Louis Judice for appointment as sublieutenant in the local militia unit, February 13, 1785.
Identified as acting sublieutenant in the Cabannocé District militia, July 10, 1785.
On June 16, 1786, he served on a local military tribunal investigating the arrest of Church Warden Pierre Landry dit Pitre by Ascension Parish militiamen.
The governor appointed him sindic for Ascension Parish, October 2, 1792.
On March 18, 1793, Isaac LeBlanc, Bonaventure Babin, Joseph Landry, and Paul Breau wrote to Governor Carondelet, informing him that a vacant parcel of land with twelve arpents frontage along the Mississippi River had no levees. As a consequence, their farms were inundated every year. These destructive floods were forcing the local settlers to abandon the farms they had cultivated since 1767. The petitioners consequently requested a 4,000 piastre subsidy from the royal treasury to subsidize the necessary levee construction. LeBlanc, Babin, Landry, and Breau promised to repay the 4,000 piastres in six years.
Promoted to the rank of second lieutenant in the district militia, March 29, 1796. His military dossier, compiled on December 31, 1800, indicates that he enjoyed robust health and that he was married.
He had served in the Lafourche District militia for twenty-two years and in the German Coast Disciplined Provincial Militia for eight years, ten months, and nineteen days. His superiors noted that he had "supposed valor; good application [to duty] and [good] conduct; [and] average capacity."
Served as interim commandant of the Lafourche District during the absences of M. Croquer in the early 1800's.
John Watkins, sent to Louisiana in 1803 at a representative of the American government, penned the following description of Landry, "who had always acted as Commandant per interim during the absence of Mr. Croquer": "This gentleman altho born in Acadia has resided many years in Louisiana, speaks the English and French langauges [and] professes strong attachment to the government of the United States."
Served as commandant of Acadia County, La., 1803-May 20, 1805.
Served as justice of the peace in Acadia County, 1805-1806.
Elected to the Louisiana legislative council, 1806. Subsequently resigned his post.
Elected to the Louisiana senate,1812. Later resigned.
