He also obtained a grant of land in the Bayou Vermilion area on Jan 5, 1777. This land lay directly above that of his father and probably included part of the present-day Lafayette Municipal Golf Couse. [?Thibodeau from Acadia to Acadiana?, Gertrude C.

Text: From Stephen A. White. Agnes-Eulalie is described as a legitimate child in her baptismal record, but her parents were only married on 29 Jul 1743, nearly six months after her birth. "This irregularity was apparently the reason for her being sometimes called BRUN and sometimes PELLERIN." If parents are correct, they would have been first cousins.
"I list Joseph BRUN as...father along with a question mark and a substantial explanatory note regarding her alias and what it is likely to mean."
