It may be asserted that Simon Favre?s relationship with Pushmataha over the years at least partially was reflected in the continuing peace with the Choctaws.

Miscellaneous information that need to be edited or eliminated
After Simon?s death, his wife Celeste Rochon married Isaac Graves and they lived in Pearlington. Pearlington was founded about 1819, the land being acquired at that time by George
Nixon from Isaac Graves. The latter had received his title from Celeste Favre, who had settled
there in 1812. It was the first high ground encountered when ascending the Pearl. It was platted
on a formal basis, with five main streets and ten cross streets. These encompassed 55 squares and
550 lots.
Other sources indicate that in 1852, there were already eight mills in operation. In addition to its lumber industry, Pearlington was also known to be a major cotton depot in pre-war days. It was sometimes called ?the Gin,? referring to a cotton ginning operation at Simon Favre?s farm.*1"
