Shows the land owned by Edmond Bijol in Modeste / Donalsonville La in 1858. We see 4 parcels of land with Edmond Bujol name on it. It is possible that the larger section (1) is Edmond Bijol(father 1818) Pelico Plantation, and the smaller portions are Edmond (2, 3, 4) (son 1838). We presume this, since the sons land is beside the land of Henry Bruyere (4) which happens to be his father-in-law. Did he get that portion of land from his father-in-law? Source:Norman B.
