Notes:

Founded Vermilionville, now Lafayette, Louisiana.

"John and Marin Mouton settled in Carencro district during the decade, perhaps, of 1760. They were the sons of Salvator Mouton, an exiled Acadian, who settled, it is thought, in Pointe Coupee parish, about 1737. John Mouton had been trading with the Indians and was greatly beliked by them, as he always dealt fairly. He wore a homespun Caluchon (cap) made of wool, of a yellow color and knit by hand. His brother wore a chapeau (hat), and his descendants to this day are called "Chapeaux Moutons."
"John Mouton was a remarkable man in many respects, large of stature, good-natured, never got angry, and treated everybody well. He was illiterate, but not ignorant, but of a very philosophical turn of mind, never allowed anything to disturb his social or mental equilibrium. It is said he never whipped a "nigger" in his life, something that could be said, perhaps, of few of his contemporaries, though he owned many slaves. He used to buy all the negroes that ran away from their owners and took refuge in the swamps. As soon as they learned he had bought them they immediately would come out to him. When the parish was organized he donated land for various purposes, both public and private. He left a large family, and among them are many of the substantial and professional men of the country.
"When Lafayette was organized the parish seat was established at a place called Pin Hook, at the present bridge across the Vermilion River, about two miles south of the town of Lafayette. It remained there, however, but a short time when it was removed to Lafayette, where it has since remained. The land upon which the court house stands was donated to the parish by John M. Mouton. A court house was built on the lot thus donated soon afterward, and in 1859 it was replaced by the present one. In 1886 fire-proof vaults for the preservation of the records were built at a cost of forty-five hundred dollars. The parish hall is on the court house lot and is a $12,500 building."
