Jean Baptiste and his brothers Louis & Barthelemy (twins) were born in Flanders, Belgium in the early 1700s and moved to New Orleans in 1721. My records show Louis & Barthelemy helped establish military outposts near New Iberia and St. Martinville (Attakapas) and then began farming and raising cattle in the Attakapas area. I believe they are the ones who registered their brand in the 1730s, and supposedly the brand was passed to their younger brother Jean Baptiste. Jean Baptiste's sons Louis and Francois registered a brand in 1793. Jean Baptiste also had a son named Jean Baptiste.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
