Notes:

Jean Jacques built the Whitney main house around 1790 and expanded it around 1803. In 1820, he sold the property to his sons Jean Jacques, Jr., and Marcellin. Marcellin eventually gained total control of the rest of the family's land, and commissioned the 1836-1839 remodeling. The plantation remained in the family's hands until it was sold to a Northerner, Bradish Johnson, after the Civil War. It was Johnson who actually named the property Whitney in honor of his grandson, Harry Payne Whitney.

Notes:

Arrived in French Colonial Louisiana via Biloxi in 1721 via the ship La Charent from France.

Other Events:

• Emigration: 24 Jan 1721; On the pest ship "La Garonne"

Notes:

The Schaaf family, made up of the parents and six children left for Louisiana in December 1720 aboard the ship La Garonne. By January 1721, the ship's passengers were showing signs of an epidemic and docked at Brest, France to take refuge. The ship left Brest on February 27, 1721 and arrived at Saint Domingue (where the ships normally stopped enroute to Louisiana to pick up trade goods bound for Louisiana) where it was captured on April 30, 1731 by a pirate ship called La Gaillarde. The ship's passengers were rescued by the governor of Saint Dominque and brought to Cap Francois on July 19, 1721. During the journey, the German immigrants had experienced the effects of one of the worst epidemics in recorded history (300 Germans were sick), and after the attack by pirates, there were only 50 survivors. When the Schaaf family disembarked in Louisiana, the Schaaf parents had died, the survivors found that the Company of the Indies had gone bankrupt so that they had no land to settle, and they were literally stranded. Although the German population had little influence on the culture of Louisiana, many inhabitants of St Charles Parish still carry gallicized version of the original German surnames, such as Schexnaydre, Folse, and Oubre. The Schaaf family would be known as Chauff and, on one occasion, Mouton. One town name, "Des Allemands", is a modern reminder of the town's origin.

Sometimes Chauff, Cuave, Cheauf, Chof, Chofe, Choff, Chaaf, Soff, Shoff, Skoff, Shaw, Chaaf, and now Chauffe.
