Pierre Doucet

French-Creole Doucets, called Allibamonts by their fellow colonists, came to Louisiana at the end of the French period. Pierre and Simon Doucet may have been brothers. Both had served as French soldiers at either Mobile or along the Alabama River when France controlled the region. At the end of the Seven Years' War, the Treaty of Paris of February 1763 awarded all of French Louisiana east of the Île of Orleans to the victorious British. This included some of present-day eastern Louisiana and all of Mississippi and Alabama. A British occupation force arrived at Mobile in late October 1763. Most of the French families in the region refused to live under British rule. They migrated to New Orleans in late 1763 or early 1764 and were among the first permanent settlers of the prairie districts west of the Atchafalaya Basin. Pierre Doucet and his wife set down deep roots on the Opelousas prairie. A Simon Doucet died "at Jean Bapt. Hernandes[']" home near St. Gabriel, Iberville Parish, on the river, in November 1831; the priest who recorded his burial said that Simon was 95 years old when he died but did not mention a wife or children. This may have been Simon Doucet from Alabama, who appears next to Pierre Doucet of Alabama in the Opelousas census of April 1766.

Descendants of Pierre DOUCET (?-?)

Pierre Doucet, "surnamed Maurice," married Marie-Françoise Pagot probably in Alabama. They came to New Orleans in either late 1763 or early 1764 and were living at New Orleans in February 1764, when their younger son was baptized at the St.-Louis church. They followed other Allibamonts to the Opelousas District, where Pedro, as he was called, appears with a wife, three[sic] sons, and two daughters in the April 1766 census at "New Opelousas on the Right Bank." A daughter married into the Fontenot family, who also were Allibamonts. Pierre's older son perpetuated the family line.
