Biographie Fievre Louisa

In the autumn of 1780, the Rochon plantation was tragically destroyed. It happened soon after the fall of British Mobile to a beseiging Spanish army. On October 1, a raiding party of Choctaw Indians, allies of the British, attacked and burned the plantation. The Choctaws killed four members of the household, then carried off the Widow (Louise Fievre) Rochon, her children, and two slaves, along with her older daughter Marie Louise and her husband Charles Orbanne Demouy (who lived at the Dog River plantation). The Dog River plantation was the older Rochon family plantation that had been established about 1720 by Augustin Rochon's father, Charles Rochon. The captives were taken to Pensacola, where the British ransomed them, and they soon retourned to Mobile. The widow Rochon and her family never again lived at their plundered Mobile Bay plantation.
