(G GC) *Zeleste/Celeste Rochon (1777) Married (1) Simon Favre on 3/25/1801 (Parents Jean/ Juan/Jean Claude Favre and Marguerite Luiz/Wiltz) in New Orleans, LA. USA
Simon Favre was an interpreter for the Indians like his father before him, and who had enormous holdings along the gulf coast. He apparently married Pis-tik-i-ok-o-nay who seems to have been one of two children of Cham-nay and Pushmataha, the other being a child named Running Deer. / have no info as to whether Running Deer was male or female. In any event Simon Favre and Pis-tik-i-ok-o-nay had five children, Alexis (my gggg grandfather), John Baptiste, Katherine, Mary, and Charles. Simon Favre was only formally married in the church once, and after his Indian marriage to Pis-tik-i-ok-o-nay who lived to 1831 along with her mother Cham-nay who also lived to 1831 right after the signing of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek which I find enormously odd. Simon Favre's only legal marriage was to his first cousin, Celeste Rochon. and they had children. Simon Favre died in 1813 right after the start of the War of 1812. His will provided for his children by Celeste Rochon and for a child by another woman named Rebecca Austin but what is interesting in all of this is that his daughter, Mary, from Pis-tik-i-ok-o-nay, was named by him as the executor of the entire estate and the one who divided up his enormous holdings. This is in keeping with Choctaw tradition as I see it that the inheritance passes through the woman. Since Pushmataha was still alive at the time, it would also make sense in that he would have likely caused trouble for any descendents of Favre who did not abide by Choctaw traditions. GGG Grandson of Celeste Rochon and Simon Favre: Willard Favre, and his wife, Elaine of Baton Rouge, LA.______________________________________
