They settled in Winn Parish, not far from the location of Transport Cemetery in an area that would be known as Stovall, LA. They considered it the "Land of Milk & Honey". There was adequate water supply, plenty of game to hunt, timber for building, and rich fertile soil for farming and raising livestock.
