Notes

MARRIAGE: The marriage of Jacques Selam and Marie Magadelene may have occurred in Louisiana, but there are no marriage records for the years 1733-1759 (the result of a destructive fire in 1786 in which a number of the St Louis Cathedral registers were destroyed).

BIOGRAPHY: The tradition says that Jacques Selam and his (future?) wife Marie Magdalene Goleur settled in Louisiana under the auspices of John Law. This would therefore mean that they went there between 1718 and 1730. (We found a Jacques Selamme aboard the "Elephant" in 1720.) Since their only known child, Marguerite, was born in 1750, this probably means that they got married in Louisiana.

BIRTH: Since Jacques Selam probably travelled to Louisiana in 1720 (aboard the "Elephant", see http://plauche.bingen.org/selamj.html), we can estimate that he was born around 1700.
