    Note: According to my grandfather Norman who goes by Joe, the Dupra name is actually an adopted last name, the story goes as follows: Fred Dupra was left on the doorstep of the Dupra house who upon discovery brought him in and raised him, he was given the last name of Dupra. This is the story I was told throughout my time growing up as well as other family members, it seems that my grandpa and his siblings knew of this story to be true. There is also a different version of the story that I heard more recently from Jack Allen Sr that indicates a similiar but different story, that a woman was pregnant with a child and the father of the child left, the woman who was Mohawk Indian met and had the baby with another man who carried the last name of Dupra, so when the baby was born he was given the name Fred Dupra.
