Notes for Moise LABORDE

1880 Census, Avoyelles Parish
MOISE LaBORDE, 1846-1919

Some contradiction exists regarding the full name of Moise LaBorde. All
official records examined to date; namely, census, baptism, marriage,
military, and burial certificate reveal only one given name. The
descendents of Moise Telisma LaBorde, Sr. (aka: Biese LaBorde) have
indicated that Moise was actually named Moise Telisma LaBorde, I. which
would cause three generations to bear this name. (Moise Telisma LaBorde,
I. (Dec 12, 1846), Moise Telisma LaBorde, II. (Jan 23, 1884), and Moise
Telisma LaBorde, III. (Sep 25, 1920). Whenever official records are
available to verify this fact, these names will be changed accordingly.

He was baptized under the name of Mayse Laborde on February 28, 1847 at
St. Paul the Apostle Church in Mansura, LA.

Judith Ann LaBorde has reported from information provided by Randy
DeCuir, Editor of the Marksville Weekly Newspaper that Moise LaBorde was
born April 9, 1846 and that he served in the Civil War with Co. H., of
the 18th Louisiana Infantry. He was a veteran of the Civil War and
received a pension according to "Confederate Pension Application Record:
Index", page 9. After the war, he operated a general store on Baton
Rouge Avenue in Mansura. His son, Felix Leo LaBorde, later ran a store
directly across from the Mansura train depot. A person named Moise
LaBorde took the oath of office as the Mayor of Mansura on July 2, 1908.
We also know that another son, Arnaud Paul LaBorde, operated a saloon on
the property located beside the railroad track at the intersection of
Baton Rouge Avenue (Eglise Street) and the Hessmer Road.
