Facts on Louis Leflore 
Born 29 June 1762 in what is today, Mobile, Alabama the son of a French soldier Jean Baptise Leflau and Marie Jeanne Girard. Jean Baptise Leflau arrived at Mobile before 9 January 1735 because on that day he served as Godparent for the son of Jacques Claude Dupont and Marie Foucalt "of Paris." On 19 June 1735, Jean Baptise Leflau married Jeanne Boissinot, a native of Mobile. The church records further record that he was the son of Jacques Leflau and Magdeliene Vichet of Versailles, Ste. Croisse parish who was a foot soldier in the company of Sieur de Bombelle. 
Louis, however, came into the world as a result of a second marriage to Marie Jeanne Girard, the daughter of Jean Girard and Marie Anne Daniau who had been married in Mobile in 1732. The last child of this couple would be Michael Leflore, who received baptism on 29 November 1767. Michael Leflore received two sections of land in the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. That land encompassed the site of the village of Bowlingreen in Holmes County. 
Operating out of Natchez, Louis began trading with the Choctaw Nation around 1780. 
About 1790 married Nancy and Rebecca Cravat, the wards of Chief Pushmataha of the Choctaw nation. They were the daughters of John Cravat and the daughter of Roscoe Cole and an a woman of the Chocchuma tribe. Cravat has given the two girls to Pushmataha, their uncle, before returning to trade among the Chickasaw. 
Louis Leflore moved up the Pearl River, establishing a trading post at LeFleurs Bluff, the future site of Jackson, Mississippi. Greenwood Leflore born here on 2 June 1800. 
Louis Leflore and Louis Durant introduced cattle raising in present day Attala and Holmes Counties by 1810. 
Established French Camp on the Natchez Trace and later ca 1820 the town of Rankin on Black Creek in Holmes County. 
His son Greenwood Leflore became one of the chiefs of the Choctaw Nation [NW District]. 
Son-in-law Samuel Long donated land for the site of Lexington, county seat of Holmes County. Also a founder of the first church in the town. [Presbyterian] 
Major in the Russel Expedition to Alabama in February – May 1814 also with Choctaw forces under Jackson in the Battle of New Orleans in 1814. 
Said to have been confidant and close personal friend to Andrew Jackson. 
LeFLORE, Louis (I6895)
 
2296 The present Purity Presbyterian Church in Chester began as Bull Run Church, and may have been organized as early as 1770. Although the church moved into town in 1839, the term Old Purity continues in common usage and usually refers to the ancient cemetery at the former site. This hallowed piece of ground, said to be the geo-graphical center of the county, is located near where Peden's Bridge Road joins the main highway. ALLEN, Elizabeth “Betsy” (I598)
