Native American. She was married to Joseph Aubuchon in 1729. Their French-Catholic marriage document indicates her name as Mean, Marie. Marie and Joseph lived in Kaskaskia Il. until their death. No burial records can be found. Kaskaskia Cemetery lost many gravestones and caskets due to floods over time.
The document reads as:
Mean Marie (Last name, first name)
Panis oneusa de Nation
(De Nation indictes Native American) I think Panisoneusa may indicate something about her Native heritage rather than a last name because of the order of her names.
Found this info online:
By the mid-1700s, "panis" had come to mean any enslaved Native American from the central and western parts of the continent and traded eastward. This included not only the western enemies of those nations allied with the French, but as the Haudenosaunee and English got in on the slave trade and adopted the term “panis” for such slaves from French, it came to include individuals from French-allied nations too, like the Illinois. Essentially anyone living between the Appalachians and the Rockies was at risk to become a slave in the east. Once sold, they all became part of the great fictitious nation of Panis.
