The LEWIS MOUZON and JAMES MOUZON of this transaction are apparently the
two oldest sons of LEWIS MOUZON by his first wife, ANN DUTARQUE. The
other brothers mentioned are alleged to be sons of LEWIS MOUZON, Sr. and
his second wife MARIANNE? DeBOURDEAUX.

Witness PETER DUBOIS was a newlywed husband of ANN ("the problem")
MOUZON at the time of this transaction; this is another reason why for
years the ANN MOUZON married to PETER DUBOIS was thought to be the ANN
MOUZON, sister of the brothers mentioned below.  Per discussion on this
list, however, a will exists that purports to place the ANN MOUZON,
sister to the brothers mentioned below as wife to DUPRE.  

Perhaps PETER DUBOIS was simply a neighbor.

Book O-O, p. 379      LEWIS MOUZON, planter, & SUSANNA ELIZABETH his
19 & 20 Dec. 1752     wife, to JAMES MOUZON, planter, both of St.
L&R			Thomas & St. Dennis Parish, Berkeley Co., for
			L 100 currency, his undivided share of the
500 a. on which LEWIS MOUZON, the father lived, in Berkeley Co., &
devised to his sons, LEWIS, JAMES, PETER, SAMUEL & HENRY & the son to be
born after his death.  Whereas LEWIS MOUZON, SR., father of LEWIS &
JAMES, parties hereto, by will dated 1745 bequeathed the 500 a. on which
he lived equally to his sons JAMES, SAMUEL, PETER & HENRY; JAMES the
eldest, to have his choice (except the part on which are the houses,
building, etc., which is to be for HENRY); but should they die before
reaching their majority LEWIS to have the share of the 1 dying; should
there be a posthumous son he to inherit equally; & whereas a son was
born after testators death & died in infancy, so that LEWIS inherited
that sons share as well as his own; now LEWIS sells his 2/6 to JAMES.
