    Notes:

    William Scott and some others show his middle name as Nepucimo.

    The History of Sabine Parish, Louisiana (author John Belisle, The Sabine Banner Press, 1912) states that "in 1860 the white population of Sabine Parish numbers about four thousand, and there were less than two thousand slaves. There were few really wealthy people in the parish, and many owned not more than one of two slaves." The owners of six or more in 1861 included John Maximillian.

    Madge Lois Tipton Strickland, in a self published article published in a DRT heritage book, stated that it was John Maximillian Jr, and not his father for whom he was named, that was a participant in the Battle of Nacogdoches in 1832.

Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Juan "John" Ignacio Maximillian was born in Jul 1782 in Louisiana; and died.

    Notes:

    Kathy Casagranda, in her annotated 1850 census of Sabine Parish, Louisiana, shows him as a son of Maximillian ARZE and Francesa LARENARDIERE.

    William Scott, on his "Bill's Roots II" tree posted on RootWeb's WorldConnect Project in August, 2004, shows that Juan/John's parents were Juan DeARZE, born ca 1762 in Algerzia, Spain and Francesca RENAUDIERE, a daughter of Charles RENAUDIERE and Marie Jeanne Del Rio LA RIVIERE of Natchitoches, Louisiana. He shows Juan as being born July 4, 1782 in Natchitoches, and dying in July 1856 in Shelby County, Texas. This date of death is not correct, as Juan and Claire can still be found in Sabine Parish, LA at the time of the 1860 Federal census (unless the census was recorded incorrectly versus that date of death).

    Bill's tree can be found here:

    http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=:2583124

    Juan/John Maximillian's first wife, and mother of his children, is usually shown by his descendants as Anastacia Sims/Simms/Simes. William Scott shows her as Anastacia Sims, a daughter of Richard Sims and Maria Conception Perez, and that she was born ca 1793 in San Augustine and died ca 1827 in Sabine County. An article in the November 15, 1972 Beaumont Enterprise, titled "Tiny Geneva To Take a Place in History" indicates that her maiden name of John Sr.'s wife may have instead been "Larendaudiere (French)...being related to his mother."

    He later married a younger woman named Claire, born ca 1810-1812 in Louisiana (census records from 1835, 1850 and 1860). Death date shown as circa 1866 by some.

    At the time of the 1835 Sabine District, Texas census, John and his sons were living with his young wife, Clarie, and eight "servants" (slaves), ranging in age from 51 to 1 years of age. (Schluter, 1835 Census, p15).

    Said to have participated in the Battle of Nacogdoches on 2 August 1832, "Armed with nothing more than shotguns and various types of hunting weapons, the national militia of Nacogdoches, aided by militias from Ayres, Teneha, Sabine, Bevil, Settlement, and San Augustine, fired the opening guns of the Texas Revolution during the Battle of Nacogdoches on August 2, 1832. Colonel Jose de las Piedras commanded his 300 member Mexican garrison from the Old Red House situated on this site. Piedras lost 47 men, with 40-60 wounded. Victory at the Battle of Nacogdoches enabled people of Texas to organize the Texas Revolution without Mexican military intervention." His name, John Maxmillian, is one of 80 inscribed on the Historical Marker commerating this battle. There were 253 total participants, most of whose identities have been lost. Some descendants show that it was his namesake son, and not John Sr., who actually fought in the battle and is memoralized.

    Shown on the 1835 census as having three son, John, Joseph and Antonio. Subsequent census records can be found for John and Joseph, but not for Antonio. However, an
    A. Maximillian is listed on the "Louisiana, Civil War Service Records of Confederate Soldiers, 1861-1865", in the Twenty-sixth Infantry (Event Year 1862. Pub. # M320, Film #338).

    John Maximillian Sr was also shown by William Scott to be the father of daughter Marie Louisa, born Feb 1816, and who married Donald McDonald before 1830.

    John was said to have "lived about a mile from the Camino Real and his uncle Pefermo reportedly constructed the Chabana Road, which led to the Sabine River. John owned a ranch, which he sold to Mathew Earl. By 1836, John sold all he owned in Texas to Willis H. Landrum for $5,000 and moved to the Bayou Scie area of Sabine Parish. The article about Geneva, referenced above, shows that sale was actually to W. C. Duffield, who later sold it the Walt and Prudence Strother, and this little Spanish Pueblo became known as Geneva. It appears that John and Clara are listed inthe 1860 census for the Parish. This surname again went through a change from 1850 to 1860. After the 1850 census the surname for this family is listed as Maxey. Both cemetery and census records are found with this change." (Kathy Casagranda, Annotated Sabine Parish 1850 Census, 70).

    In a biography, written by Madge Lois Tipton Strickland, and published in a Daughters of Republic of Texas publication instead indicated that "he was a native of Austria, but had been visiting his sister, Marie Antoinette, at Versailles, so came from France, and made his home with Juan Ignacio Pifermo at Labonilla Hacienda in Sabine County."
