Marie COLON was born about 1708 in Dauphine (Isere) (Rhône-Alpes Region), France.1257 She sold four arpents of land to Guillaume Guerin dit St. Aubin in (Pointe Coupée Parish), Louisiana, USA on 1 March 1764.1360 She ("Widow Sarazin") sold two arpents of land to Jean Marie Lefeue in (Pointe Coupée Parish), Louisiana, USA on 26 January 1767.1544 Marie sold one and one-half arpents of land to Jean Baptiste, a free mulato, in (Pointe Coupée Parish), Louisiana, USA on 8 May 1769.1669 She was buried on 19 January 1778 in (Pointe Coupée Parish), Louisiana, USA.1670 She had her estate in succession on 24 November 1778 in (Pointe Coupée Parish), Louisiana, USA. On that date, her will was presented. In the will, she spoke of debts she owed and debts owed to her.

However, five days later, another will was presented to Commandant Grand-Pré by Jean Pierre LeDoux. There was one will included in the succession documents. Although the date on it is hard to read, the will was dated 28 (the 8 is hard to read - could be another number) December 1777.

(Note: A document dated 29 November 1778 which mentions the presentation of the 20 December 1777 will indicates that Marie Colon died on 5 January 1778 and, at the time of her death, she was the widow of Jean Toussaint. This death date does not match the burial date recorded at Pointe Coupée.1671 The division of her estate took place on 22 July 1782. [Note: Marie's 2nd marriage was to Antoine Sarrazin on 26 June 1747 in Pointe Coupée according to the transcription in "Diocese of Baton Rouge, Catholic Church Records, Volume I, 1707-1769". However, upon examination of a copy of this marriage record, I believe that they were married on the 20th and not the 26th. . The couple had signed a marriage contract there on 6 June 1747. Her 3rd marriage was to Jean Toussaint on 30 May 1772. The couple had signed a marriage contract on 26 May 1772.] Children were:
