[edit] MarriageCyprien Duhon married Julie Granger on 14 February 1820, in St. Martin Parish.S5 [edit] Cyprien and Julie Settle in Calcasieu ParishOnce married, Cyprien and Julie began a several-week journey by ox cart from St. Martinville to Calcasieu Parish, to settle on land owned by the bride's family. Arriving in Calcasieu Parish, they followed the Calcasieu River to Charlie's Lake, then continued south to what was then called Little Lake. The tract of land where Cyprien built his cabin was surrounded by pine trees, with prairie land further south where he could run his herd of cattle. The site of Cyprien's home is the spot where the clubhouse of the Lake Charles Country Club now stands.S6 [edit] ChildrenThe Duhons had at least three children. Some researchers believe that their son Joseph Villeor Duhon, was actually a grandson adopted by them. Joseph Villeor is thought to have been the son of Azelie Duhon, who married Carmillion Farque.S1 After Farque died, Azelie married Narcisse Ogea. Adding to this theory is that when Cyprien Duhon died, his direct heirs were listed as Azelie, Clairville and John Sarazin Duhon. Joseph Villeor's name was not included. Nine years later, when Cyprien's widow Julie died, her listed heirs included her grandchildren, and Joseph Villeor Duhon was listed among them.S1 If Cyprien listed Azelie, Clairville and John Sarazin as direct heirs, then who was Joseph Camille Duhon, listed in baptismal records as the child of Cyprien and Julie Duhon?S5 [edit] Family Events
