I received the book (Historic Jefferson Parish From Shore to Shore) today and have been browsing through it. p.98 has a map showing a plot called "Hoestown" [sic] and another noted "J. Hoes." From "Norman's Chart of Lower Mississippi" 1858

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.

Thanks for your help..........this clears up many of my questions.

Regards...........Arthur
