(1)&nbsp;</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Antoine received a passport at Bordeaux, Gironde, France, on&nbsp;20 November 1847&nbsp;to travel to New Orleans to work as a merchant. He arrived in the city on&nbsp;21 January 1848&nbsp;from Bordeaux on board the ship&nbsp;<em>Victoria.&nbsp;</em>After a short time in New Orleans he moved across Lake Ponchartrain to Madisonville, St. Tammany Parish, LA, where he bought town lot #8, square 11, measuring 60 ft x 120 ft. on Pine street where he established a home and store. He married Irish immigrant Catherine Carroll on&nbsp;21 November 1857. They were the parents of six children: Paul Joseph Dulion (1855-1932) m. Sophie L. Dulion (1863-1942);&nbsp;Antoine Dulion (b. 1857);&nbsp;Mary Dulion (b. 1858);&nbsp;John Dulion (b. 1860);&nbsp;Vincent Dulion (b. 1865);&nbsp;and Leon Edward Dulion (b. 1873). </span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Throughout the Civil War, Madisonville, with its strategic place at the mouth of the Tchefuncte River on Lake Ponchartrain, was a central location for illicit trade between occupied New Orleans and the North Shore, still in the hands of the Confederacy. By&nbsp;January 1864, Union General Nathaniel Banks had determined to put a stop to it, so he sent 1000 men to Madisonville, where on 3 January the town was taken without resistance. Federal troops occupied the town for just over a month. They confiscated everything of worth, loading their boats with lumber, turpentine, tar, bricks, and produce, for shipment back to New Orleans. Madisonville was left in virtual ruin, its people destitute, by the Union expedition which consisted of portions of the following regiments: the 12<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;Maine, 9<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;Connecticut, two battalions of the convalescents of the XIIIth Corps, the 15<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;Massachusetts artillery, and the 2<sup>nd</sup>&nbsp;Louisiana Cavalry, all under the general command of Colonel William K. Kimball of the 12<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;Maine volunteers. </span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">During that month Antoine Dulion’s store was emptied and his farm animals taken. Dulion and his family recovered from their losses and remained in the town, where Antoine continued his merchandising business. In 1866 he paid Federal taxes as a retail liquor dealer. That same year he bought a lot 60 ft. x 120 ft. south of the Catholic Church formerly belonging to Luca Delpt. A year later he purchased lot #5, in square 11, on St. Mary Street. Ten years later he extended his holdings bying adjacent lots #9 &amp; 10, in square 11 on Pine and St. Tammany streets. Catherine Carroll Dulion died on&nbsp;30 November 1880&nbsp;and was interred in the Madisonville Town Cemetery. Antoine followed on&nbsp;18 July 1884&nbsp;and was buried with her. </span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">In Antoine and Catherine’s succession sale which took place in late 1884, all of his town property was put up for auction, as well as, ten head of cattle, 187 head of sheep, one carriage, one cart, two mares, one dray, all the merchandise in his store, his claim before the French and American Claims Commission, 760 pounds of wool, and old debts due his store amounting to $1213.17. His estate was eventually paid only a small portion of what he had&nbsp;&nbsp;claimed as losses incurred in the Civil War.
