Charles Rochon
Charles Rochon (1673–1733) was a French colonist and was one of the four founders of modern-day Mobile, Alabama.
==Life and career==
Rochon was born in 1673 in Quebec. He became a fur trapper and was associated with Henri de Tonti, accompanying him on many of his expeditions. In 1701 he came to colonial Louisiana, and he was a colonist at the settlement of Fort Louis De Mobile located at modern-day Axis, Alabama, an area of habitation that preceded the modern-day city of Mobile.
In 1706, along with Pierre LeBouef, Gilbert Dardenne and Claude Parent, Rochon left the settlement at Axis, moving down to a site at the mouth of the Mobile River, site of present-day Mobile. The success that the four had at this site was a contributing factor of the relocation of Mobile from the site at Axis to its present site in 1711.
After the city was moved to the Mobile River site, Charles Rochon again moved, this time to a site at the mouth of the Dog River, where he established a plantation that remained in the hands of his descendants until 1848. The plantation encompassed the majority of what is today known as Hollinger's Island. Rochon remained at this plantation until his death in 1733
