Patout Family Collection

Collection 148

Patout Family. Collection, 1831–1975

15 sheets of microfiche [12 negative and positive; 3]

This collection contains material brought to a Patout Family reunion in 1975. It was microfilmed by Dennis Gibson and Anna Jane Marks. The items were not filmed in any particular order.

The collection contains a great number of legal documents. Many of these deal with land especially in St. Mary Parish (Iberia Parish was created in 1868) T13S R7E. There are also wills, successions, and other legal papers. These documents are later copies (usually handwritten) of originals held in the parish court houses. There are also photographs, wedding invitations, newspaper clippings, letters and other materials. Several published books were filmed including Champomier's Statement of the Sugar Crop for 1845-46 and 1850-51 and the history of St. Peter's Church, St. Nicholas Church, Patoutville, etc.

Among the people prominently represented in the collection are: Simeon Patout; Appoline Fournier Patout; Hypolite Patout; and Mary Ann Schwing Patout.
