My great great grandmother was a Fontenot, born in the Mamou-Ville Platte area around 1866 or so. She lived to be about ninety five years old. Her mother was a full blood Cherokee. I was ten when she died. I'm not sure how to spell her first name, but it was pronounced OH-GL-EYE-YAH. When her daughter, my great grandmother died, someone gave me a written family tree of that Fontenot side that went way back. It is somewhere in my attic. I feel certain that my great great grandmother was a child or grandchild of one of those who made their way to that area from Ft. Toulouse. I need to go thru my attic. Thanks for comment section.
