Simon Favre (94D3-BLG) (1760-1813): Notes___________________________________________________________
Title: His marriage to Pistikiokonay
Based on testimony of John Jones in 1839, in Sumter County, Alabama, Simon and Pistikiokonay married in a Choctaw Indian ceremony.
Title: Special thanks
A special thanks to Russell Guerin and Dr. Marco Giardino for their excellent, and documented, research on Simon Favre and his family that is on file at the Hancock County, MS Historical Society in Bay St. Louis, MS. I have worked with Russell on a number of occasions and have found his research to be most reliable, especially the information regarding Simon Favre's Will.
Title: Simon's place of death
His granddaughter, Amelia Favre Ladner, born on May 1, 1827 in Hancock County, MS gave a deposition on March 21 , 1906, before Indian Agents with the U. S. Department of Interior, group 75, #57990-09-053, MCR 2415. In this extensive deposition, Amelia, on page 13, said her grandfather, Simon Favre, "died in Mobile after he was poisoned by a wohian for his money." I feel this is Gorrect and she surely got it from her father, Charles Favre, Sr., bom in 1798 and died in 1862 in Hancock County, MS. Amelia would have been age 35 when her father died. Surely, Charles Favre, Sr. knew where his own father died! This place of birth is also backed up by Simon's New Orleans obit. See part of deposition scanned into the Memories section of Simon's page.
Title: His death
In my "Favre History" published in 1989, I cited his half Indian daughter, Mary Favre, when she filed a lawsuit to claim property in Mobile, Alabama. This record is found in case # 328, dated 1868, Chancery Court of Hancock County, MS to claim her inheritance from her father, Simon Favre. In this record she names her siblings an stated that her father died on "July 21, 18_____The last two digits were porrly
