119 of our Favre History. Thus, Eufrosina was 1/4 Choctaw Indian, with 1/4 Indian coming thru both of her parents.
Also, we have the baptism record of Mathilde Elina Favre in 1829, discussed above where her paternal grandparents were listed as "Baptiste Favre and Susanne Fayard." As discussed in our Favre History, p. 103, Mathilde Elina Favre, nicknamed "Alema," wife of Maximilien "Ducre" Bourgeois, Jr., was thought to be 1/4 Choctaw Indian as told by two of her grandchildren who knew her. This percent of Indian was based on physical appearance of Alema before her death in 1920, and was only a guess. It is our belief that Alema was actually 1/8 Indian, with her father, Francois Favre being 1/4 Indian and his mother, Susanne Fayard dit LaLancette, being 1/2 Indian. We know the "Indian blood" did not come from Baptiste Favre because his parents were white, therefore it had to be passed down thru Susanne Fayard.
Remember, our Baptiste Favre was having children by Felicitie Fayard dit LaLancette and Susanne Fayard dit LaLancette at the same time as covered earlier in this paper. Jean Baptiste Fayard dit LaLancette and Felicitie Fayard were full siblings, while Susanne Fayard was a 1/2 sibling to both Felicite and Jean Baptiste Fayard -- same father, different mothers! This would account for the close connection these families had as found in various church records of Baptiste Favre and Andrew "Tousant" Favre - they were 1/2 brothers - same father, different mothers! Also note that Francois Favre (born 1798), and Louisa Mimi / Fayard / LaLancette were 1/2 siblings - same mother (Susanne) and different fathers.
One may ask why did Susanne Fayard's descendants not apply for membership to the Choctaw Nation in the 1800s and early 1900s? They could have received land grants thru several Choctaw treaties. The answer is simple. Susanne's "Indian blood" had been reduced so much due to white intermarriages of her descendants, her descendants were no longer qualified to be members of the Choctaw Nation. On the other hand, many descendants of Simon Favre (1760 -1813) and his Choctaw Indian wife, Pis-tik-i-ok-o-nay, filed claims in the early 1900s, and we have copies of most of these claims. A number of these descendants intermarried with full or part blood Choctaws, therefore keeping the present of Indian blood much higher than the descendants of Susanne Fayard dit LaLancette. These "Indian" Favres are dealt with in our Favre History, pages 35+, and throughout this book. Based on the above, we can say that Susanne Fayard dit LaLancette was born about 1762 in southern Hancock County, MS, and died after 1798 in southern Hancock County, MS, the year her last known child, Francois Favre, was born.
Baptiste Favre and his 1/2 Indian mistress, Susanne Fayard dit LaLancette, had the following children:
1.	Baptiste Favre, born in April 1783, as listed on his baptism record at St. Louis Cathedral which we have listed above. His parents named were "Bautista Fab and Susana Sanfal." No further information.
2.	Marie Favre, was born in 1786, and "interred" on October 7,1801, at age 15 as found in the Funeral Register, page 103 of St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans. Her parents listed were "Susana LaLancette and Juan Favre." This record is cited earlier in this paper. No further information.
