    3. The Plaquemine Brulee community apparently built up along Bayou Plaquemine Brulee, just north of Rayne and south of Church Point. According to Fontenot/Freeland, the first community was designated Lower Plaquemine Brulee; a newer community, which became Church Point, was known as Upper Plaquemine Brulee. Bayou Plaquemine Brulee flows from the Mermentau River; Bayou Wikoff branches off northeast of Crowley, and Plaquemine Brulee and Wikoff flow generally parallel east-northeast. I found a map labeled "Early Landowners of Acadia Parish, 1784-1815" (superimposed on a map of Acadia Parish dated October 1934) which showed Francois and Amelia Hoffpauir as landowners of a piece of property extending north from Bayou Wikoff; the location is about two miles directly north of Rayne.
