At one time, this area was owned and claimed by Dr. Frederick Duperier and he had hired a surveyor to search for his land in this area and his land could not be located, this same tract of land was part of a lawsuit insituted in the early part of the last century by a Mrs. Boutte for a land claim, also the de la Houssaye family had a home bordering on the Degruy land site, also this was the land that Francois Cezar Boutte purhcased from the Degruy brothers, and two conveyances were in verbal sales and two conveyances were written, and a part of this land was the same land that Francois Cezar Boutte donated or sold very cheaply to his friend, Francois Dupleisis, and Francois Dupleiss had a land title suit over this tract of land.
