Notes:

Joseph Chauvin was one of the first Canadians to arrive in Fort Maurepas (Old Biloxi) in 1699. He was a militia captain in the colony and a Choctaw Indian trader.

Joseph de Léry, Nicolas de la Frèniére, and Louis de Beaulieu left Biloxi on October 10, 1716, and taking with them 43,200 livres, they entered the state now called Texas, by way of Natchitoches. They traversed the state of Texas and reached Presidio del Norte on the Rio Grande in April, 1717. Upon arrival, the jealous and suspicious Spaniards rejected Bienville's well-intended plan for reciprocal trading rights, and seized the merchandise of his commercial envoys. The Chauvins returned to Biloxi in 1718 empty-handed.

The archives of French colonial Louisiana disclose that in March 1719, Joseph Chauvin de Léry, one of the six original pioneers, filed with the Superior Council an application for a concession of six arpents fron on the Mississippi, in the Tchoupitoulas district. At the same time three of his brothers, as well as one of his nephews, requested from the Council a similar conession in the same place. Being desirable settlers, their request was prompty granted and the four Chauvin brothers and their nephew became landed proprietors in Louisiana in 1719, a short wile after the foundation of New Orleans. The plantations of the Chauvin brothers stood next to the lands belonging to Governor Bienville.

Involved, 1716-1717, with two of his brothers, in the commercial company formed by Louis Juchereau de St-Denis (q.v.) when Antoine Crozat (q.v.) still held a monopoly on trade in Louisiana Province. In March, 1719, petitioned Superior Council for a concession of six arpents' frontage at The Chapitoulas, extending from Mississippi River to Lake Pontchartrain. Despite varied success with some crops, his and neighboring brothers' agricultural efforts earned praise of memorialist André Pénicaut (q.v.), and of perceptive traveller Pierre de Charlevoix, S. J. (q.v.). In 1724, Deléry had under cultivation 140 cleared arpents producing 500 to 600 measures of rice, 60 barrels of corn and 500 barrels of potatoes, in addition to 100 pounds of indigo. Additionally, with his brothers, owned slaves whose work in the cypress swamps netted 12,000 livres that year. Deléry's livestock inventory included 20 cows and 8 draft oxen-substantial numbers for those primitive days. Joseph pledged funds for establishment of first school for boys in New Orleans but kept only part of his agreement; case went to Louisiana Superior Council. Sent by Governor Perier to Choctaws for aid to colonists after Natchez Massacre of 1729. Died, 1732; interred parish church cemetery, New Orleans, August 20. H.C.B. Sources: Gary B.

Notes:

An erudite Canadian genealogist says that the primitive name of the Trépagnier family was de Trépagny. For the last century or more, he asserts, it has been written as Trépanier, but by referring to the older Canadian records, one discovers that this family name has seen many transformations. In Louisiana, Claude de Trépagny (or Trepagnier), the founder of the family in that colony, signed his name as Trépanier. His son, François, adopted the form of Trépagnié. Since then the family has used the name of Trépagnier.

The founder of this old, distinguished and very numerous family in the New World, was Romain de Trépagny, born in France in 1627, who migrated to Canada in the earliest times and died in that country, at Chateau-Richer, on March 20, 1702.
