| Notes |
- one of the pioneer settlers of the area; Auguste's mother was Marie Cantrelle, daughter of one of the founders of the St.-Jacques settlement, the redoubtable Jacques Cantrelle, for whom the community was named.
Cabahannocer/St.-Jacques
The area that is now St. James Parish was the abode of various Indian tribes during the early 1700s, some of them hostile to the French. The first attempt by the French to settle the area, in the early 1720s during the John Law period, was a failure. During the 1740s, a trading venture existed among the Houma, who resided in the area at the time. In the 1750s, Mathias Frederick moved upriver from the German Coast into the St. James area. There were other scattered inhabitants along the river there when Jacques Cantrelle and his sons-in-law, Nicolas Verret and Louis Judice, secured land grants from the French authorities still running the colony in the early 1760s.
Cantrelle was in his 60s by then and had a long history in the colony. The son of Claude Cantrelle and Marguerite Eurguin or Turpin of St.-Léger, Picardy, France, Jacques and his wife, Théressé Marquant, had come to Louisiana aboard Le Profond out of La Rochelle in 1720, having agreed to live on one of the concessions the French had granted to the Scottish entrepreneur, John Law.
In 1723, Jacques, his wife, and their son Jean were counted at Sotehouy (Arkansas), a John Law concession far above New Orleans.
In January 1726, Jacques and his family had returned to New Orleans, where they lived on Orleans Street.
In the late 1720s, they moved to another John Law concession, Fort Rosalie, Natchez, at the site of the city that still bears the name.
In November 1729, the Natchez Indians turned on the settlement and massacred all but 20 Frenchmen. Cantrelle was one of the lucky survivors; his wife Thérèssé, who was the local mid-wife, was not so lucky.
Jacques hurried back to New Orleans, secured a loan, and resettled at Cannes Brûlé, now Kenner, just upriver from New Orleans.
Meanwhile, in April 1730, he remarried to Marie-Marguerite Larmusiau (also spelled Larmurian), whose husband had fallen at Natchez. Cantrelle also maintained a residence in New Orleans.
The story goes that in July 1763, with old age catching up to him, the violence in the city compelled him to find a quiet place farther upriver in the forest primeval. He and his sons-in-law had secured large land grants on the upper German Coast along the west bank of the river. Cantrelle named his plantation Cabahannocer, Choctaw for "mallard's roost" and the name of a small bayou nearby.
The name has various appellations other than Cabahannocer (favored by White), including Cabahan-noces (from the census of January 1777), Cabannocé (favored by Brasseaux), Cabanocé, Cabanocey (favored by Bourgeois and De Ville), Cabanosse, Cabonnous, Kaba-anoce, Kabahannosse.
