    • Samson sometimes became Francois, Francisco or Frank so it is assumed that this was the case with this individual, although there are no other records for him with the name Samson. Additionally the 1900 census indicates his birth in Nov 1856. Although the year is off, the month is correct. Further research necessary to confirm but it appears as if this is likely match.
    • His parents were Pierre Deseta, 32 years old, mason and Marie Poco, 30 years old, farmer, who were living in the house of Erdicoetcheborda at the time of his birth.
