Joseph Vincent Carlin (1742[citation needed] – December 30, 1809),[1] born Giuseppe Vincenti Carlini, was a soldier, pioneer, and sugar planter in colonial French and later Spanish Louisiana.
Carlin was born in France in 1742 to Joseph Vincent Carlin, Sr., of Genoa, and Marie Gerbonatti of Rome. At age 16, he enlisted in the French Naval Infantry during the Seven Years' War and was deployed to Louisiana, arriving in New Orleans in 1758.[2] Following the end of hostilities, he remained in the colony and married Francois l'Ange of Point Coupee Parish.[3] Following the suppression of the Creole Revolt against Spanish rule, he left the military and began a life planting sugarcane. Carlin and his family later left the area and settled along Bayou Teche, establishing Carlin's Settlement, later renamed by English-speaking arrivals as Franklin.[4]
As a member of the militia, Carlin went on to fight under General Bernardo de Galvez during the American Revolution in his successful campaign to capture Baton Rouge, and his sons would go on to fight in the Battle of New Orleans.
Carlin died on December 30, 1809 at the family's home, the Arlington Plantation, in Franklin and was buried in the nearby family cemetery.[5]
