Et dieu touché de ta prière
A jete sur tes maux le pardon d'un ami.
Requiescan in pace.

Notes:

Joseph LeKintrec and his partner Joseph Blanpain were the Frenchmen who opened southwest Louisiana to trade and may have been the first coureurs de bois at the Opelousas post.

Port Barre, at the point where Bayou Courtableau flows into Bayou Teche, was the site of a French trading post 250 years ago. It was here that Jean Joseph LeKintreck traded whiskey for furs brought to him by Indians of the countryside.

LeKintreck was one of the coureurs de bois who were among the first Europeans to come to Acadiana in search of trade. His practices -- especially that of trading whiskey to the Indians -- did not always sit well with the government authorities in New Orleans, but they had neither the mind nor the muscle to do much about it.

LeKintreck was born in Brittany in 1689 and arrived in Louisiana sometime before 1716. By the time he ventured into the Opelousas territory, he had been involved in exploration, trapping, and trading expeditions in Louisiana for some 20 years. He'd claimed land on the Mississippi River above New Orleans, married Anne Marie Baftz, and had fathered several children. He had also managed to acquire the title Sieur and the alias "Dupont".

Jean married Anne Marie Le Bouef about 1715 in New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Anne was born about 1692 in Germany; died about 1723. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
