Notes for ETIENNE (ESTEVAN) MELANCON:
Following is a transcript of an arcticle originally published in Les Voyageurs, June 2000, submitted by Jean Marie Louviere Cambre:
"Etienne Melancon was the middle child of Acadian parents, Alexandre Melancon and Ozite Hebert. He was born circa 1756 in Maryland; his name first appeared on the September 14, 1759 census of the First Acadian Coast of Louisiana. The list shows him on the East Bank of the Mississippi River, living with his widowed mother and his four brothers: Pierre-Jacques, Joseph, Paul and Charles. On the January 1, 1777 Census he is listed as 20 years old, still living with his mother and three of his brothers. The oldest brother, Pierre-Jacques, is now married and living with his wife, Elizabeth Landry, and their children. 
From the 1777 census, General de Bernardo Galvez compiled the names of men he wanted to fight with him in the 1779 war against the English-held forts along the Lower Mississippi Valley. (He only requested young unencumbered bachelors for this mission.) He chose Etienne, 22, over the oldest boy at home (Joseph, age 24) perhaps incorrectly assuming Joseph was the eldest son. For whatever reason, is was Etienne Melancon whose name was on the list sent to Commandante Cantrelle of Cabahanocey (St. James Parish). Because his name was on the list made by Galvez himself, he has been proclaimed a Patriot for the Revolution.
Shortly after freeing control of the Mississippi Valley from the English, Etienne Melancon, at age 24, married a girl born of Acadian parents like his own. Her name was Ludivine Braud, She was also born in Maryland where her family was brought on an English ship from Acadia."

Generation No. 5

7.  EGESIPPE DORESTAN5 MELANCON (LOUIS ETIENNE (ESTEVAN)4, ETIENNE (ESTEVAN)3, ALEXANDRE2, JEAN DOMINIQUE1) was born April 7, 1824 in Convent, St James Parish, Louisiana19, and died September 21, 1867 in Donaldsonville, Ascension Parish, Louisiana.  He married MARIE-DESIREE COMEAUX May 25, 1847 in Ascension Church, Donaldsonville, Ascension Parrish20, daughter of PIERRE COMEAUX and MARIE LEBLANC.  She was born October 14, 1823 in Donaldsonville, Ascension Parish, Louisiana.

Notes for EGESIPPE DORESTAN MELANCON:
Dorostan Egesippe was baptized 29 July 1824 in St. Michael's Church, Convent La. His godparents were Rosimon Braux and Marie Celeste Inger. 
E.D. (as he was known) was a barber at the time of the 1860 census.  His assets were listed as being worth $900.  (Most people had no assets listed, so it is likely that he was considered wealthy at the time.)
On May 14, 1866, E.D held the post of Coroner for the Parish of Ascension. (Story of Ascension Parish, by Sidney A. Marchand, 1931.)
He was buried 22 Sept 1867 in Ascension cemetery, Donaldsonville, La.

Egisippe was orphaned as a baby. I have a copy of the probate records, which include several family meetings after the death of his parents. On 21 July 1833, Alexandre Melancon swears that he accepts the responsibility of "unertutor" of the minor children of the late Etienne and Marie Louis Lanou (children Marcelin, Justine, Melasie and Egesippe.) I am assuming the Alexandre was the children's uncle.
