Honoré Duhon

• Birth Notes
  • LOUISIANA:  RIVER SETTLEMENTS
    
    Duhons were among the earliest Acadians to immigrate to Louisiana.  Three families of Duhons reached New Orleans in 1765 from Halifax via St.-Domingue.  They settled in the Acadian community of Cabanocé/St.-Jacques, now St. James Parish, on the river above New Orleans. ...
    
    The next contingent of Acadian Duhons reached Louisiana 20 years after the first ones arrived.  They came aboard four of the Seven Ships from France that reached New Orleans in 1785.  ...
    
    One family, that of Honoré Duhon, did not choose to settle on the river above New Orleans, in the upper Lafourche valley, or on the prairies west of the Atchafalaya Basin, where most of their fellow Acadians lived, but went to the Islenos community of San Bernado, now St. Bernard Parish, on the river below the city. ...
    
    LOUISIANA:  WESTERN SETTLEMENTS
    
    By the mid-1770s, some of the Duhons from St.-Jacques crossed the Atchafalaya Basin and settled in the Atakapas District, creating a western branch of the family. ...
    
    CONCLUSION
    
    In Louisiana, the family's named evolved from Duon to Duhon.  The family's name also is spelled D'Eon, D'Huan, Douhone, Duan, Duhans, Dujon, Duons, Duyon.
