Clementine Petit was baptized 11 February 1871, daughter of Amede Petit and Gertrude Gabriel, born December 1869. The name, Clementine, has not been found in any census or other civil records. Given the age, it could possibly be the given name for Betsy or Patsy Petit.

Point a la Hache 11 February 1871.

The name Augustine Gabriel is a suggested alternative to Augustine Girod because Augustine's wife's name is Caroline, the same name as the mother of Gertrude. Baptism records for Gertrude's children (including Caroline) indicate that her last name was Gabriel.
