Cyprien married Angelique Brodeur-Lavigne (1st wife) around 1843 - still searching for backup info on that marriage.
But they did have 2 children together (as found in Rev Donald Hebert's SWLA Records):
*Cyprien Delafosse Jr on 06/13/1844
*Angelas Delafosse 1845

Cyprien applied for a marriage license to Dometile Guillory on Oct 13, 1856. (Dometile Guillory was previously married - and had 2 children with her 1st husband.)
Cyprien was listed as a Trader/Merchant in the 1860's census.
Cyprien and Dometile had 4 children through their marriage:
Azelma Delafosse (female)
Octave Delafosse (male)
Oscar Delafosse (male)
Marie Timothy Delafosse (male)
*Dometile Guillory Delafosse died before February 1866.

Cyprien Jr. was involved in the murder of Dondiegue Fontenot in October of 1866. He married Dondiegue's widow (Celina Deshotels Fontenot) 2 months later on December 18, 1866. (Celina and Dondiegue had 3 children during their marriage.)
*Celina Deshotels Fontenot Delafosse passed away on July 14, 1880.
Information on this varies: the newspaper articles list Cyprien Jr as the person who murdered Don Diegue and then married the widow. Father Donald Hebert's SWLA Records show it was BOTH Cyprien Jr and Cyprien Sr who married the widow of Don Diegue Fontenot. Still trying to piece together the info and figure out which one it was.
