Antoine Clermont dit St. Antoine was born Ca 1690-1700, Naples, France. He came to Louisiana on the ship "Venus" with his family, embarking on July 3, 1730, bound for Louisiana from L'Orient. He was a Sergeant in Plantin's Company. His wife, Marie Jeanne Weillot, died in port @ L'Orient, and he placed his two daughters in the orphanage at the Ursuline Convent in New Orleans, soon after arrival, as they are enumerated there in a 1731 census.
He married his second wife, Susanne Mertz, widow of Joseph Rister (Or Kisler) on October 12, 1732 at New Orleans. I do not know when/where Antoine Clermont died. Antoine Clermont witnessed the marriage of Marie Jeanne Josephe Clermont to J. B. DuBois in 1751, at Natchitoches, La. I am assuming this is her brother. There is a land transaction between Antoine Clermont and Bte. Brevel in 1751, and another between him and Andre Rambin in 1762; and a 1765 deed refers to his widow.
