1858: Norman's Chart of Lower Mississippi (p.98 of Historic Jefferson
Parish from Shore to Shore by Betsy Swanson):
Map showing a plot called
"Hoestown" [sic] and another noted "J. Hoes." In order, Greenville,
Carrollton, New Carrolton, J. Hoes [sic], E. Preston, W. Walker.....I
assume this is East to West. Carrollton and New Carrollton are separated
by the Carrollton & Lake Railroad. Each of the parcels extend from the
Mississippi to Hoestown to the north. Hoestown appears to be a triangular
parcel with the north boundary of Metairie Road (parallelling Bayou St.
John), to the south are the properties listed above, west boundary is a
point of the trianglar parcel. To the east, it is not clear if the parcel
ends at the Carrollton & Lake Railroad or if it extends further,
perhaps beyond Carrollton.
