Looking for property in 1826/27 in the "town of McDonough, between Montgomery, Gallatin and Washington Streets". Anyone know where this might be? Julie

The streets have been chopped up and the names may have changed. The Pontchartrain Expressway/Miss River Bridge/Hwy 90 runs thru that area as well as many newer subdivisions etc. But you might want to check out this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonogh,_Louisiana On Oct 9, 2010, at 9:26 PM, Julie Campbell Hernandez wrote: > Looking for property in 1826/27 in the "town of McDonough, between > Montgomery, Gallatin and Washington Streets". > > Anyone know where this might be? > > Julie > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] > with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and > the body of the message Peggy Rooney [email protected]

Julie, As has been pointed out in other messages, the community of McDonogh (also known as McDonoghville) is/was on the west bank of the Mississippi River, near where Orleans and Jefferson parishes meet. The part of McDonogh that you are interested in is today in Jefferson Parish, in the incorporated city of Gretna. This area was at one time in Orleans Parish, but by the dates you are interested in, 1826-1827, it appears that it was already in Jefferson Parish. Some of the streets in that area have been renamed, so the location you are looking for would be hard to find on a modern map. Gallatin is now Isbell and Periander is now Burmaster. Montgomery apparently no longer exists and Washington does not extend as far as it once did, so it no longer intersects with Gallatin (Isbell) Street. To help you find where this location is today, I created a small website: http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~neworleans/mcdonogh/mcdonogh_map_details.html Also, note the correct spelling of McDonogh. There is no “u.” After looking at the maps, if you have any questions, let us know.
