Notes for Charles Dominique Derbes:

- From The New Orleans Genesis, vol. 25, #98, April 1986, pp. 175-7, Vincent J. Derbes:

"Charles Dominique Derbes married Rose Angelique Belande 26 June 1792, daughter of Pierre Bellande, dock hand of wheat, and of Honorade Bremond; there were no children.

The Derbes and Pene families were royalists, as was also their entourage. King Louis XVI was guillotined in Paris 21 January 1793; popular uprisings occurred in various regions and on the 19th of December the republicans seized Toulon which had been given to the English and the Spaniards. There followed a bloody repression; thousands of Toulonnais were massacred; about 10,000 others were able to escape to Italy, Spain, even England. The families Pene and Derbes took refuge in Marseille, only Angelique Bellande, wife of Charles Derbes was imprisoned; she was one of a dozen young women guillotined in public 31 March 1794, at dusk, at the end of a day of republican festivals.

Charles Dominique Derbes sent his eldest son Jean Baptiste from Toulon to Louisiana, whose letter to his parents, on his arrival at the Attakapas, has been recovered and cited in the Appendix.

Charles Dominique Derbes, a refugee in Marseille after the capture of Toulon by the republicans, lived near the Pene family, and there he married Suzanne Pene 29 October 1801. Two children were born at Marseille: Jean Baptiste 19 July 1802; and Louis Ciergi in 1804. Ciergi is the Provencal name of Cyr, a name which one finds again in the family in Louisiana.

In 1801 the emigrees could reenter Toulon under certain conditions; Charles Derbes made his declaration. On 17 July 1801 the Municipal Council took action on his request in the sense that it was sent to Superior Authority. He was only able to enter Toulon in 1805, with his wife and 2 boys. He no longer had his business and was forced to take humble jobs. In 1806 he was a sailor, in 1808 delivered foodstuffs to the Arsenal. When he died in 1834 he was sub-Adjutant of chiourme (this word has 2 meanings, gang of convicts or rowers of a galley; the first seems the more logical); he dwelt Chemin de la Valete. His wife Suzanne Pene had a milliners' shop, where her son Albert succeeded after her death.

Material life was difficult for this family after new births increased its size almost yearly; even after the Restoration, King Louis XVIII, who had for his first aim to restore the country ruined by the revolution was not able to indemnify the royalists who had sacrificed themselves for him. Thus therefore when Fortune PENNE wrote to his parents that he could place a son of his sister Suzanne in his prosperous business, Jean Baptiste DERBES, the eldest son took voyage without delay for Louisiana; later on 3 of his brothers followed and the DERBES family multiplied in America."
