forgot to add. Thanks. I dont know i never thought of the fact they were talking to french/creole folks who probarly needed interpreters. So that means Pierre is either a cousin or an uncle of my gggg grandfather, Jean Pierre Sam and his siblings(Casimir, Don Louis, Angelique, Adolphe). I looked up Catherine Pierre in the records. Her birth range is 1803-1815. But Im leaning more towards 1803 because Sanville Leblanc was born abt. 1826. So her father is Louis Sam likely.
