The family is descended from the slaves of Pierre Badin, a planter of tobacco from Thorigne, France in the diocese of Poitiers. In 1791, Pierre manumitted all twenty enslaved persons in his possession. The freed slaves continued to live with Pierre and adopted his surname. Prior to Pierre’s death in 1805, he drafted a will naming his former enslaved persons as his legatees.</br></br>Joseph Roque was a descendent of free people of color of Cane River, Louisiana.
