    Claude DUHON was granted a Spanish patent (land grant) for 354.88 acres of land near what is now the town of Jeanerette, LA. This area extended southeast to an area known as Chicot Noir. His brother Charles and Charles' son Jean Baptiste also obtained land in the same area.
    Just over six months later they all sold their grants to Catherine TOUPART (wife of LOISEL and widow of BORREL). Then these families, with two others, migrated toward the Vermillion River.
