FRANKLIN MARCILIA AUCOIN
Husband of Leontine Bourg.
Father of the late Arthur J. Aucoin and Jean Baptiste Joseph Aucoin.
Probably the son of Julie Levron and Jean Baptiste Aucoin.
During the War Between the States, Franklin served in Company G of the 18th Regiment Louisiana Infantry, raised in Lafourche Parish, which fought in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Franklin was living in New Orleans when he enlisted in Company G in early October 1861; he was 18 years old, had a florid complexion, auburn hair, blue eyes, and stood five feet eleven inches. He was wounded at the Battle of Shiloh, Tennessee, in April 1862 and sent home on 60-day furlough. That summer, his company's orderly sergeant reported that he had "heard of him, unwell." Franklin was still at home recuperating from his wound and perhaps serving with the local Lafourche Parish militia when he fought in the Battle of Labadieville in October. The Federals captured him in late November, and he was exchanged aboard the steamer Frolic near Baton Rouge in late February 1863. Franklin returned to the 18th Louisiana later in the year and was reported on the rolls of the Consolidated 18th Regiment and Yellow Jackets Battalion in late 1863. He fell into the hands of the Federals again at Lafourche in September 1864. He was not exchanged this time but sent to Ship Island, Mississippi, and then on to Fort Columbus, New York harbor, from where he was transferred to the prisoner of war camp at Elmira, New York, in late November. Though he was still recuperating from his wound, he survived the terrible winter at Elmira, was paroled there in early February 1865, and sent to the James River, Virginia, to be exchanged. He was not exchanged, however. Being "not able to travel," he was returned to Elmira, where he took the oath of allegiance to the United States government in late June 1865. He returned home and married Léontine, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph Bourg of Lafourche Parish, at the Labadieville church, Assumption Parish, in January 1866; the marriage also was recorded in Lafourche Parish. Their son Jean Baptiste Joseph was born in Lafourche Parish in October 1868 but died at age 1 in September 1869. Franklin died in Lafourche Parish in August 1920; he was 77 years old. He is buried in St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery, Thibodaux.
