Hi, I'm working on my ancestors who owned several sugarcane plantations along Bayou Lafourche. The plantation names were Melodia, Bush Grove, Upper Ten, Rousseau and maybe Valentine. Yves Cyprien Rousseau (Rouxeau) married Anne Thibodeaux in 1781 in Nantes, France. They immigrated to south Louisiana around 1787. They had 4 children that I know of: Nicholas Yves bn. 1786; Hyacinthe Thimothe bn. 1787 married Rosalie DeL'Aunne in 1809; Joseph Marie bn. 1789 married Eulalie LeBlanc in 1809; Anne Margarite b. 1793 married Francois Gros in 1814. My line is from Hyacinthe and Rosalie. Hyacinthe fought in the War of 1812. One of their children was Pierre Joseph Rousseau bn. 1822. Pierre married Marie Theonise Macias (descendant from the Canary Islanders) in 1853. Marie Theonise's father was Francois Macias and her mother was Marie Leo Cadie Vicknair. Pierre and Marie Theonise were supposed to have been well-known planters of the times, however they fell into bad financial straights around the time of the Civil War and evidentialy lost most everything. One of their children - Etienne Rousseau bn. 1859 married Clara Duffy in 1903. Clara Duffy's father was Nicholas Duffy who fought in the Civil War and was in the Siege of Vicksburg. So the sir names I am most interested in are: Rousseau, Thibodeaux, DeL'Aunne, Vicknair, Duffy and Macias.
