According to his grandson Eugene Theriot Butaud, Philogene Butaud was part owner of Morbrihan Plantation near New Iberia, Iberia Parish, LA. Morbrihan Plantation was a few miles outside of New Iberia, LA on the road to Loreauville, LA. Eugene Theriot Butaud lived on the plantation as a child and remembered that one of his uncles (a son of Philogene Butaud that Eugene called Uncle Partner) operated the plantation store and that two other uncles (Alfred and Dennis) were overseers on the plantation. Eugene Theriot Butaud also remembered riding his own horse to get to school in the mornings from the plantation. This would have been around 1910. Eugene Theriot Butaud related these facts to his daughter Sylvia Jean Butaud Pattison when he was over ninety years of age and could have erred in the names of persons or perhaps used their nicknames and could not remember their actual names. Eugene Butaud recalled playing in the attic of the plantation store where there was an old trunk of Confederate money which no longer had any value. His uncle would let him play with the Confederate money when he was a small boy
