Biographical History
Benjamin P. Cuny (1804-1883) was the son of Richard Edmond Cuny and Tabitha Wells. Moving from his native Rapides Parish, Cuny became a planter and constable at Sicily Island, Catahoula Parish, Louisiana. He married his first cousin, Jane Catherine Lovelace, in 1832, and the marriage produced ten children. In 1882, their daughter Fannie Lovelace Cuny married Thomas M. Clark, who died shortly thereafter in 1885. The Clarks had two daughters, Rosa Lovelace and Jeanette "Nettie," neither of whom married. The bulk of Benjamin P. Cuny's Catahoula Parish estate appears to have been purchased by or passed to the Clark family through Fannie Lovelace Cuny.
