LANOTTE

Three brothers Lanotte and another Lanotte (surely related to the brothers) from Suxy immigrated in 1849 and 1854:
 
Henry LANOTTE was born April 6, 1773 in Suxy, Belgium, and died 24 Jan 1847 in Suxy, Belgium. He married Marie Anne Jacques. The children of Henry LANOTTE and Marie Anne JACQUES who immigrated were:
- Nicolas LANOTTE, born April 23, 1817, Suxy.
- Francois Noel LANOTTE, born December 23, 1822, Suxy.
- Theodore Henri LANOTTE, born November 8, 1828, Suxy.
 
Alexis LANOTTE, born February 22, 1822, Suxy, was a son of Henri Joseph Lanotte and Marie Jeanne Gillet
 
Note: The information I found concerning them is rather sketchy as some stood in Louisiana, some went toTexas and they had the knack to elude the censuses
