Charlie et al...I was one who got excited when I first came across DeVille's booklet on "English Land Grants in West Florida" and his notation "suggests Hoffpauir." He confirmed that to me as his opinion when he conducted a genealogy workshop here in Waco several years ago, but I have come to believe he is wrong. Barbara has pointed out that Loofborrow is a known English name (and Bonnie has noted that previously). The English land grants were, according to DeVille and his source materials, distributed to ENGLISH artisans and workers who helped establish English settlements, forts, etc. in West Florida (which includes eastern Louisiana). DeVille's rendering lists "Thomas Loofborrow" first, with the date, apparently, of the grant: "27 January 1777." Nine names down, "John Loofborrow" is listed: "I February 1777." Will follow with cross-reference from LA Genealogical Register. Archie gical Register. = Archie
