You can run a search on the St. Landry Archives page at:

http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/la/stlandry.htm

I found several references to the Hudspeth name in the archives. One was a Captain George W. Hudspeth who served in the 8th La. Regiment in the Civil War. I did not find any reference to the coins or business.

Good Luck
