Surnames: Stakes, Lacour, Mouton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kEB.2ACI/391 Message Board Post: I am looking for any information on my Great-Grandmother, her name was Isabella LaCour, and she ran a boarding house in Abbeville or Mouton Cove. My Grandfather, Willie Stakes (later Stokes) was born there in 1907. She was married 7 times to 5 men and would "divorce" them by firing at them with her revolver. Her Mother was a Mouton or a Broussard, but she was a descendant of Marin Mouton, her uncle (or brother, not sure) was Hebert Mouton, when he died it was not in the good grace of the church so he was denied a funeral, and from what I understand he did not like banks and buried all his money on his land. After his burial the family spent days digging around his land. I hope this jogs someones memory.
