(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.
