Chris; I work in Bossier City, LA; not in the oil or gas business. I live in Natchitoches Parish, LA on Black Lake and am originally from Jackson Parish, LA. My set of Watts' have been in North Central LA since before the Civil War, but like most Anglo, Scott, Irish folks, they started in VA and migrated through GA, AL, and MS. My bunch stayed in LA but some got run off to TX. You being in Amite County should know what a Parish is.
