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.
