The George C. Duke (Braud / Breaux) Family Connection

(Ed. note: Pierre Rosemond Braud of Baton Rouge, Louisiana had a son, Victor Deonise Braud, who fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War and was captured by Union soldiers after the battle of Gettysburg. After the war and his release, the son settled in Pennsylvania and took the name George C. Duke, hence this family line has 2 surnames.)
