Charlie et al. Chrcked out Crowley on Archibald Hoffpauir's wife Laura's succession. Seems she died bef 18 Dec 1885 & they didn't close the succession until Leslie Hoffpauir came of age. This is what I think the families should look like. Archibald Hoffpauir married 1st Laura Hoffpauir (d/o Isaac Hoffpauir & Elizabeth Perry) with children to wit: 1. Leslie Hoffpauir b Sep 1879 St Landry Parish 2. James Arthur Hoffpauir b Feb 1882 St Landry Parish 3. Isaac Lawrence Hoffpauir b 2 May 1885 St Landry Parish married 2nd Lucinda Perry with children to wit: 1. Bennett Semmie Hoffpauir b 20 Jul 1887 Acadia Parish d Sep 1968 LA 2. Lucian Emmett Hoffpauir b Jun 1892 Acadia Parish 3. Eva Hoffpauir b after the 1900 census In Laura Hoffpauir's succession are mentioned as family members persons I believe to be as listed. (no relationships were given in the documents only as relatives of the minor children. under tuter Howard Hoffpauir (the children maternal uncle) relatives Manassah Hoffpauir (the childrens paternal uncle) Isaac Hoffpauir (the childrens maternal grandfather) James I Hoffpauir (the childrens maternal uncle) Lee Smith (the childrens paternal uncle in law) friend of the family was mentioned as Manoah Hoffpauir This looks like how it is. I did not know who Laura was. Now I think I know. Any other ideas. Felton
