Obtained from Bobby Carline: In an Article published in Harpers Magazine dated 1886, by reporter Charles Dudley Warner, stated that Joseph received a Spanish Land grant on Lake Peigneur on a Salt dome (looks like Avery Island a mountain in the middle of a prairie.) it was later called Jefferson Island which is presently located in Iberia Parish LA. The grant was for 25 arpents received by Joseph on February 1784. It had a depth of 40 arpents. The grant was made by Governor Esteban Miro. the article goes on to say that the Carlins were probably on the island as early

as 1772-73. as Alexis is shown to be born in Attakapas in December  1773. Also that Joseph sold his lands on the Mississippi in May 1772.  In December , 1813 Joseph Andrus testified that he knew the Carlins to  be living there at least the past 31 years,and from the appearance of  the houses and fruit trees, the land must have been inhabited and  cultivated for several years thereto. (The Island was also called  Orange Island.  CITING THIS RECORD

"Joseph, Jr. first shows up in pre-America in 1758 as a soldier in the French Army, stationed at Fort Chartres. illinois. Fort Chartres was a French settlement on the Mississippi River, north of Kaskaskia. It was founded in 1720 and taken by the British in 1765. The remains of the fortress are now a state park.

"It is now* known yet, if he came through the East coast or up the mouth of the Mississippi River. In 1763, Joseph, Jr. shows up in St. Charles and St. John Parishes. He wed that year to Francois Carterouge Lange (also spelled as El'Ange, L'Ange). She was a native of St. Charles Parish of the first German Coast. She was the daughter of Pierre Lange of Toulouse, France and Marie deRichebourg of Paris France.

"The* were legally married by Judge J. LeBlanc on January 7, 1767. The marriage was blessed by the Catholic Church, by missionary I. Dagobert on May 6, 1774 on the Mississippi River.

"John Baptiste Lange (possibly a relative of Francois) was a witness for the marriage.

"Joseph, Jr. went to work on the Etienne Bore Plantation in St. Charles Parish after his discharge from the Army in 1763. (Note: 1763 marked the end of the Seven-Year War between France and England).

"He lived on Lac des Allemands area which was then known as Jack Island. (Today there is a Carlin Pointe and Baie A. Carlin on the northeast corner of Lac Des Allemands in St. John the Baptist Parish).

"Joseph, Jr. also joined the Spanish militia in the late 1760's. There was a Dominique Carlin (whether or not a relative is yet to be proven) listed with Joseph in the French Army discharge rolls of 1763.

"Joseph is shown in June 20, 1774 as being discharged from the Spanish militia. This is listed in the Spanish Colonial Records, Archives of the Indies, Seville, Spain. He was a Sergeant under the command of Governor Galvez, Officer Augustin Grevemberg, Captain Jacques Sorrel, May 10, 1777.

"Joseph Carlin, Jr. died on December 30, 1809, after being sick for seven days. He was buried on January 2, 1810. Bobby Carlin (Plaquemmine, Louisiana) has a piece of his marble gravestone and the gate latch of the wrought iron fence surrounding the gravesite. Most of the marble which was imported from Italy has been vandalized and stolen through the years.

"Joseph, Jr. and Francois are both buried across Bayou Teche from the present day Plantation Arlington in the town of Franklin, Louisiana. It is located as a cluster of Live Oak trees in a sugar cane field owned by the Sterling Sugar Corporation.

"Franklin was called 'Carlin's Settlement" before it became the town of Franklin. Joseph Carlin's home was the Post Office of that era. Franklin received its first post office in 1817. There used to be a historical marker when you entered Franklin from the Garden City side labeled FRANKLIN, originally New Iberia. Joseph is, of course, of Italian lineage and not Anglo-Saxon, but because he was born on the Italy/France border, he was called Anglo/Saxon.

"The Carlin Family Cemetery is located across Bayou Teche behind Arlington, which was built by Honore Carlin.

[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arlington_Plantation_House_(Frankli...)]

The earliest burials occured about 1810 and the first recorded in 1815. At that time the closest Catholic cemetery was in St. Martinville. The dead had to be transported there by road or boat via Bayou Teche. Several families had cemetery plots set aside and sought consecration of the ground through their parish priest. The Carlin Cemetery is one of those private burial grounds, but there are some buried there who are not related to the Carlins."
