(Opelousas - v. 7 SM ch.), died 24 sept 1852 Nicholas Quebedeaux established a farm on the upper Bayou Vermillion east of present Carencro. During antebellum days his four sons (Nicolas, Jr., Dennis, Jochim and Lessin) and their families settled along bayous and coulees within the Attakapas prairies in what is now Acadia Parish. After the Civil War, and perhaps before, the brothers, as pioneer small farmers, had optained land along the upper Bayou Queue de Tortue east of present Rayne, along Bayou Wikoff near Roberts Cove, along Bayou Plaquemine Brule north of the site of Crowley, and along Bayou des Cannes near the present town of Evangeline. Thus, Quebedeaux families, practically all descendants of Nicolas Quebedeaux, were well established in Acadia Parish many years before irrigated rice cultivation began in the 1890s, which attracted so many Franch Louisianians into the southwestern prairies. During the 1890s several Quebedeaux families had migrated to Mermentau, Jennings, and Lake Arthur, and the first two decades of the present century saw their further movement into western Calcasieu Parish and southeastern Texas. "

QUEBEDAU, QUEBEDAUX OR QUEBEDO part II It is believed that Joseph Quebedeaux, his wife Marie Antoine Beau and their 2 daughters, Marie Joseph, Quebedeau and Marie Jeanne Quebedeau came to the Illinois country in the Renaud Concession. It is not known if he actually worked in the lead mines. Some info on Joseph Quebedeaux was found in the Illinois Regional Archives Depository (IRAD) Unfortunately the information consists of only brief card index information, such as the "Contract to hire Quebedo by La Pointe" in the year 1744. It is not known what he was hired to do. (Missy Burke's website) It is also not known which Quebedo was hired -- Joseph or Charles? The Quebedeauxs were in the Illinois country as early as September 1723 and the records mention Qebedee, the younger in several different cases where he was one of several witnesses to a transaction. It is not known which Quebedo it was or why the term "the younger" was used. The census of 1726 and 1732 show another Quevedo, enumerated right after each other in 1726...and in different areas in 1732! Missy Burke has copies of the pages the Quebedeauxs are recorded. The census are on microfilm at USL in Lafayette. > Colonial Accounts of Joseph Quevedo These entries are from Kaskaskia Manuscripts, on microfilm, and extracted and sent to me from Illinois Regional Archives Depository. The first number in the four-part document represents the year in which the action took place (for example: 23 = 1723). The second number represents the month, the third represents the day, and the fourth represents the number of the document produced that day. In some cases, one of more of these numbers is missing, because of the legibility of the original. Several of the incidents, such as the marriages, have surviving documents. I have copies of these, but they need translating from the original French. Some will be difficult, but as the work is completed, I will add that. I thought that having these descriptions, with the dates, would still be helpful and interesting. 23:9:16 Interrogation by N.

"Québédeaux, including its many variants, seems to be a uniquely Louisiana surname, and a considerable number of families bearing this surname cn be found in southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas. QUEBEDAUX, QUEBEDAU OR QUEBEDO According to the Historical Research Center the surname Quebedeaux (x) and its variants Quebedo and Quevedos may be of three different origins. Firstly, the name may be a French form of the Spanish Quevedos, the "v" in Spanish being pronounced as "b". In this issuance, the name is of local origin, derived from the place where the initial bearer once lived or held land. Here the name would indicate one who came from Quevedo in the region of Andalusia in the province of Malago in South Spain. Etymologically speaking, it is believed that this place name is derived from contraction of the phrase "pero que ejos", meaning "what eyes". Alternatively, the name may have come about by the fact that a notable bearer of this name, Francisco Gomez Quevedo (1580?1645), a Spanish poet, was drawn wearing eyeglasses, and thus the term "quevedo" (pince?nez) came about. However in some instances the name may be of occupational origin, descriptive of the trade or profession of the initial bearer. Here the name is derived from the French word "bedeau(x), meaning a beadle or venger. A beadle or venger was a minor parish officer, a church caretaker or usher.

The words say "I am the Quevedo who stopped the Moors from going where their king had ordered them". CREST: The fleur de lis of the arms. ORIGIN: France. And in the Dictionary of Spanish American Surnames in Southwestern United States" we find: "The name Québédeaux seems to be of Spanish origin and is a corruption of the name or word "Quevedo" ? which is probably a combined word that comes from a contraction of the expression "pero que ojos" meaning "but what eyes". It is not known if the expression is admiration or horror. (G.A.) Castellian name from mountains of Santander (J.A.)

Diocese of Paris, France moved to Fort de Chartres in Illinois and resided on the prairie of St. Philyppe in the parish of St. Anne in New Chartres in Colonial Illinois. Quebedeau - Quebedeaux - Quibodeaux - Kuibodeaux - Kibodeaux, etc., The surname Quebedeau or Quebedeaux first appeared as a family name in North America on 1 March 1745 in the marriage record of Marie Joseph L'Espagniole (Quevedo or Quebedeaux) , residents of the parish St. Anne of Fort de Chartres, one of the French posts along the Mississippi River in Illinois, Marie Joseph L'Espagniole (Quevedo or Quebedeaux ) was the daughter of Joseph Le Quebedeaux and Marie-Antoine Beau. Marie-Antoine Beau was born in the diocese of Paris in France. (Brown ? Dean "The Village of Chartres In Colonial Illinois 1720?1765" p. 53 (D?74)) The name Joseph Quevedo, was Gallicized by the French the name to Quebedeau and Quebedeaux. Later the spellings Quibodeaux, Kuibodeaux, Kibodeaux, etc., came into being. Missy Burke, while researching the "Colonial Accounts of Joseph Quevedo, found in the Kaskaskia Manuscripts, on microfilm, from Illinois Regional Archives Depository. The first number in the four-part document represents the year in which the action took place (for example: 23 = 1723). The second number represents the month, the third represents the day, and the fourth represents the number of the document produced that day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- On Sept: 16, 1723, document 23:9:16, (2pp. Pub.

It was actually built by one of our Quebedeaux ancestors at Prairie des Femmes (Prairie of the Women) between Grand Coteau and Arnaudville. You can visit the Vermilionville site at: http://www.vermilionville.org Joseph Quebedeau, dit l'Espagnol was married to Marie Antoine Beau, or Marianne Beau, daughter of Francois Beau who was native of the city and Diocese of Paris. When he married Marie Antoine, and why he settled in Colonial Illinois. Joseph Quebedeau and Marie Antoine Beau were living, with their family at Village Chartres (Fort Chartres) on the Prairie de St- Philippe, paroisse de Sainte Anne of Fort Chartres in Colonial Illinois, where they raised several children. (D-74 , p. 53 also - D176 - Brown and Dean - Village of Chartres Colonial Illinois 1720-1753) Joseph's nick name, "L'Espagnol", indicates that he was a Spaniard originally named Quevedo, which was later Gallicized to Quebedau. The records are not clear. I guess we can assume that Joseph Quebedeau's wife was from Paris. But were they married in Paris? Was Joseph a French citizen with the Spanish surname of Quevedo, but like so many Quebedeauxs of today, have married many women of non-Spanish ancestry, that although the name is Spanish, they are of a different ethnic make-up. Was he a mercenary in the military of France? Why was he at Fort Chartres in 1723? When and how did he arrive? Did he come directly from Europe to the Illinois Territory? Or did he first come to Canada and then into the Illinois Territory? Can anyone answer these questions? Don Landry don2717@aol.com
