It is raved about till this day, created by a transplanted New Orleans chef born in France. His café can be seen in the center of this old photo of Union Street in Nashville. His name was Xavier Faucon and his specialty was the “Faucon salad”.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><strong><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><em>Faucon’s Café at 419 Union Street in Nashville, Tennessee&nbsp;</em></span></span></strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">In an article published in the&nbsp;<em>New York Times</em>, April 6, 2003, Julia Reed (who was was with Bobby Harling, author of “Steel Magnolias”) wrote about a dining trip they made to Nashville’s Belle Meade Country Club that serves “(the kind of food that doesn\'t really exist anymore but that used to be found on ocean liners like the Andrea Doria and in hotel restaurants like Washington’s late, lamented Jockey Club) spiked with a dose of (black) Southern soul.” There, she wrote, “you will find ladies enjoying a cup of vichyssoise and nibbling on a canned pear stuffed with cream cheese and a date-nut-bread finger sandwich, but also scarfing down fried hot-water corncakes dripping with butter.” She continued, “Bobby and I ate platefuls of those same fabulous corncakes, along with the Faucon salad (iceberg and romaine lettuce topped with chopped hard-boiled egg, crumbled bacon and homemade ‘bleu’ cheese dressing)”. The “Faucon salad” they enjoyed at the country club in Nashville actually had its birth in New Orleans.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Xavier Francis Faucon (1850 - 1930) was born at Nay-Bourdettes, of the&nbsp;<em>ancienne commune des Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France</em>. He arrived in the United States in 1864. He wed his first wife Adèle at New Orleans, and they had six children: Octave Faucon (b. 1876); Leon Paul Faucon (1877 - 1926), Louise Faucon Maumus (1878 - 1962), Adèle Faucon (b. 1879), and Marie Faucon Lucas (d. 1963). Xavier Faucon later married Marie Madeleine Pons (1867 - 1947).</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">The 1887 New Orleans City Directory lists Paul Faucon as a cook at the Cosmopolitan Restaurant, residing at 96 Ursulines. Xavier Faucon, residing at 441 N. Rampart Street, had an establishment at 134 Canal Street (with Xavier Faucon and René Lubeug listed as proprietors).</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">After gaining a reputation as an exceptional cook running a restaurant in New Orleans in the 1880s (he also owned a restaurant in Biloxi, Mississippi), Xavier Faucon moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he and his son, Leon Paul Faucon, ran a café. People were captivated by the “Faucon salad”. It was the dressing’s ingredients that were so satisfying. When Leon became ill in 1925, he returned to Biloxi, where he died on January 6, 1926. Xavier left Nashville for Biloxi, as well, retiring in 1926. In a farewell interview with Faucon, it was mentioned that an acquaintance once followed Faucon all day in his restaurant but was unable to uncover the salad\'s secret.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Back in New Orleans at a recent meeting of the New Orleans Cultural and Culinary Preservation Society (aka Tales of the Cocktail) held at Arnaud’s Restaurant on Bienville Street in the French Quarter, Arnaud’s Chef Tommy Digiovanni’s classic Creole menu included a choice of “faucon salad” or onion soup&nbsp;<em>en croute</em>; gulf fish pipérade or roast pork tenderloin with smoked onion and apple marmalade; custard tart; Herbsaint liqueur; and coffee. Kevin Faucon claims his great grandfather was a master chief at Arnaud\'s restaurant in the&nbsp;</span></span><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">1920s and 30s, or perhaps earlier before moving to Nashville.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Immensely popular in Nashville, the “Faucon salad” is still served there - apparently in only three or four places: J. Alexander’s, Jimmy Kelly’s (since 1934) and the Belle Meade Country Club. Jimmy Kelly’s Steakhouse menu lists “The Original Faucon Salad” as “mixed salty bacon, hard boiled eggs and bleu cheese served on our iceberg lettuce - $6.75”. It is also served at the Cumberland Club, a private club (established 1957) situated atop a Nashville skyscraper (the City Center with a view over the state Capitol).</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><strong><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><em>Jimmy Kelly’s Steakhouse, still offering the “Faucon salad”&nbsp;</em></span></span></strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">By 1964, a motivated Junior League member had managed to either obtain the recipe for the salad from Faucon’s descendants or imitate the dressing. It appears in the old “Nashville Seasons” Cookbook, attributed to Mrs. Jack Bond:</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><strong><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Faucon Salad Dressing</span></span></strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">1 lemon, juice of<br />\r\n1 cup oil<br />\r\n1 tbsp. vinegar from pickled onions 1 tbsp.

He was born at Franklin, Tennessee on November 8, 1848.&nbsp; Marshall Park and other beautiful parks near L&amp;N depots on the Mississippi coast were established during his tenure as superintendent.&nbsp; Marshall began his railroad service with the Nashville &amp; Decatur Railroad at Franklin, Tennessee in 1864.&nbsp; He worked his way through the ranks employed as an operator, agent, and dispatcher at Lynnville, Columbia, Nashville, Pulaski, McKenzie, Memphis, and Clarksville in Tennessee.&nbsp;

Superintendent Marshall had promised the citizens of Biloxi a park in the rear of the L&amp;N depot on Reynoir Street.&nbsp; A prominent businessman came to him and made a proposition to lease the property for twenty years and erect a large business and residential structure.&nbsp; In his reply to the proposition, he stated that in as much as he had promised to convert the lot into a park, he felt bound by the promise made, and would not lease it to anyone for any other purpose.(<em>The Daily Picayune, August 13, 1901, p. 11)</em></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">The Biloxi Park was named in his honor upon its completion about 1912.&nbsp;

Cattle and sheep once roamed the savannas and forests of &nbsp;Harrison and Jackson County foraging on the native grasses.&nbsp; Several families in the St. Martin and Latimer communities north of Fort Bayou were especially well known for sheep husbandry.&nbsp; Some of these clans were the Basque, Krohn, Lamey, Seymour, Lemien, Eglin, Havens, Letort, and Ramsay families.&nbsp; The people living north of Ocean Springs in the piney woods were primarily subsistence farmers.&nbsp; They raised corn and hay to feed their cattle and hogs, had vegetable gardens, and supplemented their incomes through charcoal burning, lumber, and the wool from sheep. &nbsp;It was common for a farmer to own as many as a thousand sheep.&nbsp; In fact, the wealth of farm and country people was determined by their peers from the number of sheep that they possessed.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Sheep were generally never enclosed in pastures.&nbsp; The range was open to everyone and the stock animals of each owner mixed together.&nbsp; This necessitated marks and brands to differentiate ownership of the animals.&nbsp; From the Books of Stock Marks and Brands at the Jackson County Archives in Pascagoula, it can be ascertained the brands and marks of many individual animal owners.&nbsp; For example, in August 1919, Mary Doyle Krohn registered her brand as a V on the right hip of the animal.&nbsp; The brand and mark were valid for cattle, sheep, hogs, and goats.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">In the spring on an appointed day, the stock owners had a \"round up\".&nbsp; On horseback, they drove the free ranging sheep to a common meeting point called the \"parting pens\".&nbsp; Here all the sheep were put into one pen and the lambs separated from them.&nbsp; The ewes were then placed in a pen with the lambs.&nbsp; When the lamb recognized its mother, the two were caught and the lamb given the owners mark and put into the pen of the owner.&nbsp; The individual flocks were then driven to the farm of each owner and shorn of their wool.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Flocks of sheep generally grew slowly as frigid winters took its toll.&nbsp; Many lambs died in the spring from exposure after birth.&nbsp; When turpentine stills were active in the area, the dogs of the turpentine workers roaming the forest, as well as wild hogs ate many young sheep.&nbsp; Eagles were troublesome to the farmers until they were nearly hunted to extinction.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The wool produced in coastal Mississippi was classified as \"Lake\" wool.&nbsp; It brought a higher price than wool produced in counties further north as manufacturers considered it the very best.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Septuagenarian, Bernard Basque, resided&nbsp;on the family farm north of Fort Bayou, &nbsp;shared some of his childhood experiences concerning sheep husbandry.&nbsp; He remembers well the spring when the ewes gave birth to a lamb.&nbsp; Twins were rare.&nbsp; The lamb remained with its dam for about six months.&nbsp; Merino rams were bought in Texas for breeding purposes.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">After shearing the sheep with manual shears, their wool was packed for market.&nbsp; A man would stand in a tall burlap bag and compress the wool by hand.&nbsp; When complete the wool bales would weigh two-three hundred pounds.&nbsp; In the early days, the wool was sent to Ocean Springs by wagon when the Davis Brothers were still active in the business.&nbsp; By the 1930s, merchant, Cliff Dees (1886-1963), at Vancleave, was the area wool broker.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Bernard Basque recalls to well the day his father, Joseph Basque (1892-1978), drove two thousand head of sheep to the farm of Albert White located north of Vancleave.&nbsp; He walked the entire distance herding the stray animals.&nbsp; Bernard relates that there were no \"chuck wagons\" on these sheep drives.&nbsp; Their family mark was \"under square, under slope\".</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">The Basque family had several uses for their sheep besides the commercial wool.&nbsp; The mutton was often eaten as a stew, baked, or fried.&nbsp; When a new baby was born into the family, the hide of a freshly slain sheep was stretched and dried.&nbsp; This sheepskin functioned as comfortable bedding for the youngster.&nbsp; Mrs. Basque and other women would card the wool into 4\" x 6\" squares called \"batts\".&nbsp; The batts were sewn between two layers of cloth and a warm quilt was created for bedding.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>Colonial days</strong></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">The history of sheep and wool in this area cannot be traced to the early Colonial years.&nbsp; In April 1699, when d\'Iberville (1661-1706) landed at present day Ocean Springs to build Fort Maurepas, he recorded in his journal the following:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; \"<strong><em>my longboat brought from the cows that belong to Surgere and me.&nbsp; We brought them from France.&nbsp; All those I got in St. Domingue (Haiti) died, three on board the Francois, one on the Marain, and four on the island where they had been placed (Ship Island?).&nbsp; Most people say it is the cold weather, although it has not been cold\".</em></strong></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">A few days later, the Frenchmen brought hogs and a bull to Fort Maurepas.&nbsp;

The nut yield is large.&nbsp; The sheep found abundant to eat-nothing was planted there-only the natural grass supported them.&nbsp; In keeping the weeds down, they saved me the expense of cultivating as well.</em></strong></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">During the final years of World War I (1914-1918), the price of wool and mutton again increased dramatically.&nbsp; By October 1917, the price of wool reached $.60 per pound nearly doubling pre-War prices.&nbsp; Mutton cost the consumer $.17 per pound at this time.&nbsp; These inflated prices caused speculators to seek immediate investments in the sheep industry because of its high profit potential.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">October 1917-Two hundred sixty head of sheep were shipped to Fort Worth, Texas by land owners north of Fort Bayou.&nbsp; Price was $3-$4 per head.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">December 1917-The Southern Pine Association met at New Orleans to discuss the possibility of the large sheep flocks of the Western ranges relocating to the cut-over and timbered pine lands of the South.&nbsp; The western ranchers were restricted by recent homesteading of public lands there.&nbsp; These wool growers were seeking grazing lands for their large operations.&nbsp;</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<div>&nbsp;</div>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><strong>Newton Jones</strong></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">At Ocean Springs, Newton Jones, a native of Columbus, Ohio, who came here in 1913, and bought Field Lodge, the home of Mary Florence Field at East Beach for $15,000, was one of these entrepreneurs who attempted to take advantage of the wool boom of the late War years.&nbsp; Mrs. Field was living at Nice, France when she sold her thirty-three acre estate to Jones.&nbsp; Here on the Cote d\'Azur in 1914, she met Chevalier Scovel, the great tenor.&nbsp; They married and resided in Paris at the Villa Spontini.&nbsp; Field Lodge burned in the 1960s. &nbsp;</span></span><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">In October 1917, Newton Jones bought 1200 acres in the northwest Latimer area from Anna Orrell and the heirs of Christopher Columbus Orrell (1832-1906), a turpentine operator and native of North Carolina, who settled here from Alabama.&nbsp; Here in Sections 21, 27, and 28 of T5S-R9W, he founded the Jackson County Sheep Ranch.&nbsp; The sheep ranch of Jones was located primarily in Harrison County straddling the Jackson County line about twelve miles north of Ocean Springs.&nbsp; It was fenced. &nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">In order to stock his ranch, Jones received a shipment of two hundred sheep from Bayou Sara, Louisiana in October 1917.&nbsp; Only one animal died in the relocation effort.&nbsp; The animals were driven from the L&amp;N depot at Ocean Springs to his rural sheep ranch.&nbsp; In an October 1917, interview with&nbsp;<em>The Jackson County Times</em>, Newton Jones said:&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong><em>Sheep suffer from the lack of attention just like a growing crop, and for the best results to follow, one has to give them attention, or the enterprise becomes a failure.</em></strong></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">In addition, Newton Jones said&nbsp;<strong><em>\"that the average sheep grown in this territory weighed but 40 pounds at maturity, whereas lambs attained that size in the west in four months.&nbsp; This difference is the result of neglect on the part of those engaged in raising sheep, and they can be produced here of equal value to those in the west</em></strong>\".&nbsp; He planned to demonstrate that they could.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">At the time during the Fall of 1917, a son of Newton Jones, Sergeant La Berne Jones, was serving in the Ohio artillery camped at Montgomery, Alabama.&nbsp;Newton Jones had a partner in the Jackson County Sheep ranch.&nbsp; He was Dr. Fitch who also came here from Ohio.&nbsp; Fitch officed in the Farmers and Merchants State Bank Building.&nbsp; He replaced Dr. Henry B. Powell (1867-1949) who went to Camp Shelby with the 139th Field Artillery as a Captain in the Medical Corps. &nbsp;</span></span><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">After the War in April 1921, they sold their Latimer area sheep ranch to Forrest Short of Circleville, Ohio.&nbsp; Newton Jones also sold Field Lodge to Mr. Short at the same time, and apparently left the area.&nbsp; He and his wife, Gertrude Jones, probably returned to Ohio.&nbsp; The following reports were gleaned from&nbsp;<em>The Jackson County Times</em>&nbsp;to illustrate wool and sheep activity in the&nbsp;area from 1917 to 1927:</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">June 1919-A big wool sale of over 75,000 pounds at $.58 per pound was made in the area.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">May 1924-Joe Basque (1892-1978) who lived north of Ocean Springs shipped 1000 head of sheep to Ohio.&nbsp; The price was $3.00 per head.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">June 1924-Two carloads of wool were sold to a Mobile broker for $.40 per pound.&nbsp; The market had just dropped below this price.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">June 1925-W.H. Westfall (1874-1939) and other merchants in the Vancleave area handled over 23,000 pounds of wool which was marketed at Ocean Springs at an average price of $.50 per pound.&nbsp; J.C. Harvey of Mobile bought the entire shipment.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">June 1926-A quarantine order stopped movement of sheep in nine Mississippi counties, including Jackson.&nbsp; Sheep scabies, a communicable disease caused by mites, was the problem.&nbsp; Only dipped and disease free animals could be shipped.&nbsp; Several carloads of sheep were dispatched from Ocean Springs via dipping the vats at Hattiesburg.&nbsp; Mrs. Mary Doyle Krohn (1860-1944), former postmistress at Latimer and widow of Fred Krohn (1859-1918), sold 679 sheep to northern interest at $3.00 per head.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">August 1927-During the past six weeks, Mr. R.J.

Brown (No. 28288) tested the stock law in the Supreme Court of Mississippi.&nbsp; The original suit had been filed at George County.&nbsp;</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Another crushing blow to sheep husbandry in the area was the 1934 screw worm epidemic.&nbsp; It did serious damage to regional flocks and almost destroyed the sheep industry at Jackson County.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">&nbsp;Sheep are still raised in Jackson County today albeit their numbers are small.&nbsp; Now, wool fetches about $1.92 per pound as compared to $.50 per pound seventy years ago.&nbsp; In a comparable time period, land values in the outback Fort Bayou region have soared from $4.00 per acre to upwards of $1,000 per acre.&nbsp; The moral-raise land not sheep.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>REFERENCES:</strong></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">Ray L.

Since moving to Ocean Springs in May 1990, I have enjoyed visiting the libraries and courthouses, reading old newspapers, and conversing with others interested in the local history of coastal Mississippi. In the process of assimilating new knowledge, I have made discoveries about our Family Bellande. I would like to thank Louis E.Bellande Jr. of Chicago for his valuable assistance with our Midwest Family. Mary Blair Kleyn of Laguna Hills, California sent me timely information about our west coast Family. Locally, Regina Hines, J.K. Lemon, and Murella Powell have been of great assistance and support in making From Marseille To Mississippi a better document. I personally again thank all of you who responded with letters and calls after receiving your first addition. Please enjoy this, your Family History \"its the only one you\'ve got\". I always appreciate comments and criticism.

Marseille with a population approaching one million people is the second largest city in France and the nation\'s chief port.&nbsp; It was founded by Greek mariners about 600 BC, and called Massalia (Massilia).&nbsp;

Since ancient times, both the goods and culture of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia have entered France at the Marseille docks. &nbsp;The economy of Marseille is based on trade and manufacturing.&nbsp; The city\'s port handles about a third of the traffic of all French seaports.&nbsp; Industries in the area process chemicals, food, and petroleum from many parts of the world.&nbsp; The city\'s chief manufactured products include&nbsp;bricks, candles, engines, medicine, soap, and tiles.&nbsp; Until the intensified police action of the early 1970s, it was a center for the manufacture and shipping of drugs, especially heroin.&nbsp; Remember the \"French Connection\" with Popeye Doyle (Gene Hackman)?</span></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Marseille has many beautiful churches.&nbsp;

I drove a rental car from Nice to Marseille, an easy day drive.&nbsp; My arrival in the large port city took place late in the afternoon.&nbsp; A search of the local telephone directory for the name Bellande surprised me as their were only a few listed.&nbsp; One was an Andre\' Bellande, le medcin (medical doctor).&nbsp; Rather than telephone, Dr. Bellande, I chose to take a taxi to his domicile the following morning.&nbsp; This was a mistake as he was not there.&nbsp; His duties that day took him into the country side making house calls.&nbsp; I did meet his delightfully charming wife, Rene\'e, and her children.&nbsp; They were all quite surprised to meet this American \"cousin\"!</span></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Although I remained in Marseille for only one day, I was able to establish good relations for future communications.&nbsp; One very interesting fact I did learn that day was a plausible explanation for the origin of the family name, BELLANDE.&nbsp; Jean Bellande, the uncle of Andre\', related that the name was derived from two French words, Bel (beautiful) and Lande, an evergreen tree which is prevalent in the area around the city of Bordeaux in southwest France.&nbsp; The Department or State in which Bordeaux is situated is called Landes for the trees.</span></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Heidi Balje Good in her detailed research of the Simmons-Bellande families located a Frederick Bellande residing in St. Lambert, Quebec, Canada.&nbsp; Messieur Bellande was told by his family that \"the Bellandes were Jewish originating from a little town called Uppsala in Sweden and that they went afterward to live in Bordeaux\".&nbsp; A copy of this letter is included in the appendix of this document as it is a valuable reference for clues to the relationship of the Bellande families of Haiti, Canada, the United States, and the French cities of Marseille and Bordeaux.</span></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">We know that our common ancestor, Antoine Victor Bellande, was born September 11, 1829 in Marseille.&nbsp; His parents were Jean Antoine Joseph Marie Bellande (1790-1874) and Marceline Vezian of Marseille (ca 1880-ca pre-1834).&nbsp; His father and grandfather were naval workers, probably caulkers, in a local shipyard.</span></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Antoine left his native France as a deck hand on a vessel at the age of twenty-two years, and arrived in New Orleans in 1851.&nbsp; Shortly, he joined his \"brother\" in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.&nbsp; I use \"brother\" because at this time there was a Joseph H. Bellande, also a French immigrant, residing there.&nbsp; Heidi B. Good whose husband, Paul, is related to Joseph H. Bellande has done an excellent job of researching Joseph and his family.&nbsp; I will present shortly in this text her story of Joseph for your general information and interest.&nbsp; It should answer some of the questions about the \"other\" Bellande Family of the Gulf Coast region who you may recognize as a relative.</span></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">The true relationship between Antoine and Joseph Bellande is not yet known.&nbsp; We believe Joseph was born in France in October, 1813.&nbsp; Church records in Marseille indicate that Antoine\'s father, Jean Antoine Joseph Bellande, had three wives: Marguerite Grafassy, Marceline Vezian, and Marie Francoise Gorge.&nbsp; His first child with Marguerite Grafassy was called Jacques Joseph Nestor (1815 or 1819).</span></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">From the information currently available, I conclude that Joseph H. Bellande and Antoine were half brothers.&nbsp; Joseph may have been a bastard son of Jean Antoine Joseph whose birth was not recorded?&nbsp; The strongest evidence for a relationship is the fact that they were both listed as heirs in the succession of Jean Antoine Joseph Bellande dated December 18, 1877, in Marseille.&nbsp; As they were residing in the United States at this time and failed to appoint an attorney to represent them in Marseille, their inheritance was lost.&nbsp; It appears from the legal instrument that their father left a house at No. 19 St. Barnabe Boulevard in Marseille.</span></span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"color:#000000\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif\">Let us now enjoy the life of Joseph H.

Elder measuring 192 x 100 feet for the site of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church on Porter Avenue for $100.&nbsp; From 1883 to 1892, he sold much of his land, some to his children, some to local residents Gregoir Weider and George and E.S.

His family Bible, in French, was recently discovered in the home of one of his descendants, as well as some legal documents and personal papers in the form of a journal.&nbsp; All of these were handwritten in French.&nbsp; The legal documents would seem to indicate he was related to a later French immigrant seaman named Bellande - Antoine Bellande, \"the Captain\", who arrived in this country in 1851.&nbsp; It appears they were brothers or half brothers, sons of Jean Joseph Marie Antoine Bellande of Marseille, a caulker in the shipbuilding business.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"font-family:times new roman,times,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">An aspect about Joseph\'s personal life that makes him a particularly intriguing figure was handed down through the family lore of one of his descendants, but has not yet been substantiated.&nbsp; Geneva Eliska, the eldest daughter of Joseph\'s youngest child Zoe, knew her grandfather to be a former priest, excommunicated on the event of his marriage to Rosaline LaFauce.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"font-family:times new roman,times,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">She recalled that he had gotten into some political difficulties with the Church, and upon the advice of his friends who feared for his life, he fled France.&nbsp; His writing would indicate that Joseph remained a deeply religious man, his journals consisting of many prayers for the hours of the day, the Stations of the Cross, and the like.&nbsp; One can only speculate on the inner torment of this man, who despite his excommunication, raised his family in the Catholic Church, was denied admission to the funeral mass on the occasion of the death of his wife Rosalie of asthma in January of 1893.&nbsp; He sat sobbing out-side St. Alphonsus Church on that Tuesday afternoon.&nbsp; This was witnessed by his eleven year old granddaughter, Geneva Eliska.&nbsp; He lived in his house on LaFontaine Avenue for another 13 years, outliving seven of his children.&nbsp; He provided a home for his daughter Azalie Reus and her two children after she was deserted by her husband.&nbsp; On June 16, 1907, he was on his deathbed.&nbsp; Father Peter de Gruyter, the Belgian pastor of St. Alphonsus who was apparently disliked by the entire congregation, came to Joseph, presumably to administer the last rites and hear his confession.&nbsp; According to Church records, the dying man cursed the priest out of his house.&nbsp; Joseph is buried in the Bellande Cemetery, his grave marked by a cedar cross, now gone.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"font-family:times new roman,times,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">The history of Joseph and Rosaline\'s children can be deduced from census records, wills, and other legal documents, church records, newspaper obituaries, notes found in the Family Bibles, and remembrances of descendants that have thus far been located.</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"font-family:times new roman,times,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">A document from the Jackson County Chancery Court, Cause No. 4636, dated 14 August, 1926, a case involving a land dispute between all the surviving heirs of Joseph, gives a good lead on the fates and whereabouts of his children.&nbsp; It is not clear why this land on LaFontaine Avenue at Ocean Springs was contested, but the end result was that it was sold at auction to Josephine Friar for $1200.&nbsp; The profits were divided up proportionately among the heirs, each one receiving an amount somewhere between $25 and $130.&nbsp;

She had seen action at Port Hudson, Louisiana (March, May 1863), Donaldsonville, Louisiana (July, 1863), and participated in a number of Texas coastal actions before returning to blockade duty off Mobile in the summer of 1864.&nbsp;

Buchanan, the Confederate commander of the&nbsp;<strong><em>Tennessee</em></strong>, must be lauded generously for his bravery and skill in facing seventeen Union ships, three of them possessing armor heavier than that of his vessel, mounting 157 guns, almost all of them larger than those of the&nbsp;<strong><em>Tennessee</em></strong>.&nbsp;</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"rtejustify\"><span style=\"font-family:times new roman,times,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">After the battle was won, Antoine piloted the&nbsp;<strong><em>Cowslip</em></strong>&nbsp;on the following morning transporting the victorious Union officers to receive the formal surrender of Fort Morgan.&nbsp;
