Notes |
- From «i»Old Families of Louisiana, pp. 239-240:«/i»
After their arrival at Fort Louis de la Mobile, three of the Chauvin brothers (Joseph de Léry, Nicolas de la Frénière, and Louis de Beaulieu) obtained permission from the governor of the colony, Bienville, to undertake a trading expedition to the «i»Presidio del Norte «/i»on the Rio Grande. They left Biloxi on 10 Oct 1716, taking with them merchandise valued at 43,200 livres, headed toward Texas by way of Natchitoches. They reached the Presidio in April 1717, where the jealous and suspicious Spaniards rejected Bienville's well-intentioned plan for reciprocal trading rights and seized the merchandise. The brothers returned to Biloxi empty-handed in 1718, but the trail blazed by them across the then nameless region of Texas was for many years the only known road from the Louisiana borderland to the Presidio on the Rio Grande.
From «i»Some Prominent Virginia Families, Vol. 4«/i», Chapter VIII, pp. 153-154:
Joseph, Nicholas and Louis Chauvin ultimately settled in the Tchoupitoulas district above New Orleans and became successful planters.
Referring to the expedition of LaSalle, the historian LaHarpe in reporting the return to Mobile in 1701 says, "Having arrived in the colony in December, 1699, with thirty workmen, he set outfor the Tamerois in June, 1770. He stopped at the mouth of the Missouri River, where he wa met by three Canadian travelers, who brought him a letter from Father marent, a Jesuit of the Missouri House of "L'Immaculée Concepcion de la Sainte Vierge aux Illinois."
These Canadian travelers were the Chauvin brothers, men of great courage and enteprise, honorable and trustworthy leaders in all exploring and trading expeditions. They are identified with the earliest history of Louisiana. They took part with Iberville, Sauville and Bienville in their expeditions to find the mouth of the Mississippi River and in the exploration of the river. They were with Bienville, and with them Commander Jucherand de St. Denis, in their expedition to reconnoitre the position of the Spaniards to the west in 1700. They were with St. Denis in the exploration of the Red River the same year. They accompanied the picturesquely romantic expedition of the Cavalier St. Denis to reconnoitre the Spanish missions in 1713, and were partners with that brilliant officer in this trading expeditions to Mexico in 1716, of which Gayarre has given the story. In 1719 they established themselves as planters in the Tchoupitoulas district, above New Orleans.
Joseph Chauvin to the surname of de Lery afterwards and now known as Delery. Many connections and descendants of this f amily are living in and near New Orleans. The chief of these was the late well esteemed and highly distinguished physician, Dr. Charles Delery, of New Orleans.
...
La Harpe refers to the plantations of the three brothers Chauvin in the following words, translated from the French:
«i»In regard to the grants located in the neighborhood of New Orleans, those of the Tchouitoulas, belonging to Mesrs. De Lery, La Freniere and Beaulieu, Canadian brothers, are the most advanced in condition, and promise a happy success. It may be said in praise of these gentlemen that they were the first to give a good example, and they deserve particular consideration for the services they have rendered the colony.
«/i» The sons of these men became conspicuous in their opposition to the Spanish control of Louisiana, and their hated f the Spaniards was fiercely reciprocated. [11, 12]
