Regarding the Weber oak info included in the live oak tour in Lafourche Parish: the Zeringue family never owned the property. Homer Babin owned the part of the original parcel, an original Spanish land grant, which was divided among his two brothers. The brothers opted for the smaller, more fertile land ( the location of the historic live oaks ) and Homer, the larger parcel 292 acres, mostly marsh land. My maternal grandmother, née Judith Babin was one of eleven children of Homer Babin. She married Adrien Zeringue and resided on the property and raised her family there until her death in 1971. The property was in estate by the Homer Babin family. E. P. Zeringue, Judith’s son, remained on the property after Judith’s death and raised his family there. That part of the parcel was sold by the Babin Estate to a couple who lives nearby. Just before E. P.’s death, Weber purchased the property from those owners, thereby rejoining the original parcel, as the website commentary states.
I have shared this information here to verify that it was the Babin family, not the Zeringues who previously owned the property mentioned on the website. I have knowledge of this because E. P. was my godfather and my mother was his sister. It is not my intention for all of the above information to be included with the commentary on the Weber oaks. Please replace the Zeringue name to Babin. Thank you in advance for correcting this.
However, historically speaking, the said oaks are Babin oaks… just saying.
