I found this posting at the Labadie Family Genforum which Lynne Steele had copied from the book "Early Days in Detroit" by Palmer. She had taken the book out of the Burton Collection of the Detroit Public Library.

p.623
"The name of LABADIE was borne in France 1732, by Alexander Etyenne Ravielt Claude LABADIE, colonel of an infantry regiment. A descendant of his came to Detroit about 1747 and immediately took a foremost rank in the affairs of the colony. His son was Louis (Badichon) LABADIE, married, 26 February, 1759, Angelique CAMPEAU, who died in the parish of l'Assumption (Sandwich, Ont.), 11 December, 1767. She left six young children. Louis (Badichon) LABADIE then fell in love with the daughter of an Indian chief. Though no record can be found of his marriage to this Indian woman, yet it is known that he lived with her seventeen years, and when she died she left seventeen children. He was then married, in St. Anne's Church, Detroit, October 18, 1784, to Charlotte BARTHE, widow of Lieutenant Louis REAUME, of the British army. By this marriage he had ten children, so as he had thirty-three children by his three wives, he may claim to have aided materially in populating Detroit and its vicinity. One of the children of Louis LABADIE married John HALE, an extensive merchant here until into the forties (Hale & Bristol). One of his daughters (Antoinette) married Joseph LANGLEY, then of New York, but now of Chicago; the other (Lizzie) married William S. DRIGGS of Macey & Driggs, real estate, etc. Her son is an officer in the United States navy (he invented a gun). Another daughter of Louis (Badichon) LABADIE, Eleonore, married first, Mr. J. REID, who was one of the editors and proprietors of the old 'Detroit Gazette' (Sheldon & Reid); second, in 1806, Jean Baptiste PIQUETTE, son of John Baptiste PIQUETTE and Francoise ARCHEVEQUE DE ROUEN by whom she had two sons, John Baptiste and Charles; third, in 1825, Thomas C. SHELDON, by which marriage she had three children, Thomas P. married Winnie CLARK, niece of Governor FENTON of Michigan; Rose married A. Henry GUISE, of a distinguished Philadelphia family, an estimable man and courteous gentleman. Her daughter Nellie married Mr. Orville ALLEN, of Grosse Ile. She died some years ago. One of the sons (Thomas GUISE) possessed a fine voice and is now on the operatic stage; another son (Richard) is also upon the operatic stage; another son (Philip) was a bright young man of scholarly attainments, he was at one time engaged in newspaper work and was on the 'Evening News', and bid fair to become a success in that line, but unfortunately he has been the victim of rheumatism for years to such an extent that it has almost totally incapacitated him from attending to any business that requires much out-door work. Alexandrine MACOMB, another daughter of Thos. C. SHELDON, married first, Barnabas CAMPAU, son of Barnabas (L'Abbie) and Archange MCDOUGAL, by whom she had three children; Charlotte died in infancy; Thomas S., and Albert, two bright, promising young men who attained majority. Thomas died after a brief illness in Yokohama, Japan, where he had gone for his health. Albert studied medicine under Dr. E. L. SHURLY of Detroit, was admitted to practice, with the prospect of a brilliant career before him, but from some cause became a hopeless invalid and died at the Catholic Retreat, Dearborn. These two young men were quite celebrated for their courteous and elegant manners. Alexandrine M. CAMPAU married a second time to Mr. R. Storrs WILLIS, brother of the poet, N.P. WILLIS."
