    Berwick (the town) and Berwick's Bay and Bayou Barwick are all named for Thomas Berwick. He came to the area a few years after marrying Helena Wallace in 1768. Gov. Galvez (Louisiana was a Spanish territory at the time) turned down his petition for land near Natchez. Instead, Galvez
    granted Berwick land in the Attakapas district and hired him as the surveyor for the district. Some sources claim that he was the first Anglo settler west of the Mississippi.
    Thomas Berwick is my 4th great grandfather and the Berwicks were prolific (he and his wife had 10 or 11 children) in St. Mary, St. Martinville, St. Landry parishes until beginning of the 20th century.
    Berwick's Bay and Bayou Teche were strategic during the Civil War and most of the Berwicks homes and land (they were sugar planters) were pretty much demolished by the fighting (land and naval.) The O'Brien(Bryan/Bryant) , Lyons, and Berwicks were closely aligned with a good bit of intermarrying among family members. A good number of
    people in all these families ended up in Texas.
