His niece, amelia Favre Ladner, in her 1906 deposition, said she saw him in the past, and he had "curly, black hair and blue eyes."

Title: His birth
In 1845, 2 depositions were made (case 11 & 14, pgs. 748-749), where the children of Pistikiokonay are named and her son, "Battiese" is shown to be "under the age of 10" at the time of the Treaty in 1830. This would make him bom between 1820 and 1830. In another 1845 deposition, Case #21, page 765, he states that he was"about 40 years of age." This would make him born about 1805. But, looking at the ages of his children as found in the various depositions, he had 5 children (4 by one wife and 1 by the other) that were "over the age of 10" (born before 1820) and 3 children that were "under the age of 10" (born between 1820 and 1830) when the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek was signed in 1830. It seems there is a younger and a older Baptiste Favre. Notice, the depositions name Pistikioknay's "unmarried children," not married ones. We know that John "Baptiste" Favre was married and having children well before 1820, thus he could not the one listed as born between 1820 and 1830. Besides, Pistikiokonay's husband, Simon Favre, died in 1813. I still think they are one and the same person, someone simply messed up their ages. If his children's ages are correct, he could not have been born in 1805, but somewhat earlier, possibly around 1790.
Title: His wives
In the 1906 deposition of his neiece, Amelia Favre Ladner, page 9, she states she remembers her uncle well, that he had 2 wives and the only children she could remember were "Marie and Therece (misspelling for Clarissa) Favre." These are 2 of the known children of John "Baptiste" Favre and his Choctaw Indian wife, Hic-an-to-nah, that we know moved to Hancock County with her husband. Based on the ages of his children listed in the depositions, it appears he was married to both Indian women at the same time, which was not uncommon in the Indian culture at that time.
Title: His date and place of death
We know he was living in 1845 in Hancock County, MS as found on several depositions he made that year. Thus he died "after 1845." We know he and other relatives traveled to the Indian reservation in Arkansas, and probably came bask based on various pieces of information. In 1906, his niece, Amelia Favre Ladner, gave a deposition stating that "Battiest and Lexy" went to Arkansas "a long time before the war," (the Civil War 1861 - 1865) and she was not sure if they stayed there or came back -- see her deposition scanned into the Memories section above. We know for a fact that Lexy (Alexis) came back and is buried in Hancock County. I think that John "Baptiste" Favre came back also.
