Jean Dufour nicknamed Brind'Amour

He arrived on the Arkansas River, toward 1750, Jean Dufour said Brind'Amour marries Marie-Philippe Decoux toward 1755. A son, Charles, was born toward 1756 and a daughter, Henriette, April 12, 1757. During the winter 1758, a flooding forced inhabitants of the Post Arkansas to move in New Orleans. In February 1759, Jean Dufour said Braind'Amour was buried in the St-François church St-François de La Pointe Coupée. Father Irénée, Capucin, noted: "... Sieur Jean Dufour said Brain D'Amour deceased during November of the last year during a hunting at the river of the Aus... (Arkansas?)....his body was not found".

Twelve years later, May 11, 1770, a certain Morvant sayd Bernard will say that he had killed Brind'Amour ten years before when he was hunting with him and Baudoins, Goguet, Laurent and seven other hunters were with them. Dark history! ...
