I had an offer of $500 an acre this past Wednesday from someone representing Petrohawk. On Saturday I received a letter resending the offer...Like I was going to accept the offer anyway...

I doubt that (royalty offer)......unless, of course, Larry is willing to post a scanned copy of his offer letter.

Hey Jay, his last name is Lafitte, he may be kin to you by a distant relative that could have changed his name.

Not for me to throw rocks...... I've been accused of being a direct descendant of one John Murrell a/k/a the Reverent Devil who robbed and murdered people on the Natchez Trace in the 1840's.....that said, the Lafitte's of DeSoto Parish ARE descendants of Jean Lafitte. Remember, it was Jean who pulled Old Hickory's chestnuts out of the fire in 1814 at English Turn...you know...Johnny Horton had a big hit back in the early 60's ....anyway, the Lafitte brothers were awarded a land grant in DeSoto Parish shortly thereafter. BTW, Bootsie Lafitte of Carmel, LA was a friend of mine...as far as I'm concerned the DeSoto Parish Lafittes are good folks....maybe, just maybe, and I don't intend to imply any prevarication, there is some Jean Lafitte DNA around the vicinity of Carmel even today....:-)

Some would say that Jean wasn't even at the battle of New Orleans but that his brother Pierre was. Anyway here is my story, it will take a little time to tell:

One story I read, and it may have been weak, related the tale of the connection to Lafitte and Murrell like this:(disreguard spelling errors, when I tell stories I talk in my voice) Around the last time Jean Lafitte was seen in the New Orleans area a member of a prominent New Orleans family turned up missing, never to be seen again. Her name was Betty Porter and it was rumored that she ran off with Jean Lafitte, a good looking pirate with very white teeth and small hands. Somewhere in Red Dirt, there is supposed to be a large rock with what would be, like a love symbol carved into a heart shape on a tree, John C. Murrell and Betty Porter. There are stories of a grave in one of the oldest cemeterys in Natchitoches Parish, located at Grand Ecore on a bluff on Red River, of a burial of a headless woman, laid to rest in a glass top coffin, an alledged to be the remains of Betty Porter. Around the time of the taking of Red Dirt by the feds, some citizens of wealth around the Natchitoches area bought one of the original houses built in the Red Dirt area and tore it down piece by piece numbering each board. They were to reconstruct the house on Cane River. When they got to the foundation or under the house they found a metal bucket with a scull inside, the scull had an emeral dagger plunged into it, this scull is believed by some to be that of Betty Porter.

The secret is out...........I'm the GGGG grandson of a cold blooded killer and a headless debutant.

On another note, my wife is a distant (unclaimed by respectful Methvins) relative of Henry Methvin...anybody know who he was???

Hint:

"Dirt................dirt in the carburator."


The first person to correctly ID Henry Methvin gets an autographed part off of a 1934 Ford tudor.......

You may be the the decendant of a pirate or a cold blood killer. Time will tell. I think my story is BS, because I have read other that are different but stories are stories and need to be looked at and defined as to their worth.
