	Combs &c. Families of Ascension Parish, LA

The first Europeans arrived in the area in 1543 with DeSoto. France claimed the land, however, when La Salle explored in 1682. By 1763, Ascension Parish was Spanish Territory, and three years later the government issued the first land grants. Louisiana joined the United States with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Donaldsonville, the current parish seat, was the capital of the state for a short period beginning in 1830-31.
