Theory: deutsch is Dutch, maybe German Jews. I would appreciate proof of
this; or disproof

the Feds in the civil war referred to Dutchtown as “Dutch Stores”
“September 30, 1863.
The cavalry and mounted infantry was put in charge of Colonel Lucas,
Sixteenth Indiana, and directed to debark about 9 miles above
Donaldsonville, proceed by way of Dutch Store, cross Bayou Manchac at
Hampton's Ferry, thence to the Amite, cross at Bennett's Ferry, and join
me at Galveston,
Troth, R. S., 2nd Lt. Co. -, Ogden's La. Cav. Federal Rolls of Prisoners
of War, Captured Oct.
14, 1864, Dutch Stores
Allen, C. H., Lt. Co. __ Ogden's La. Cavalry. Federal Rolls of Prisoners
of War Captured Dutch
Stores Oct. 14th, 1864.
On the night of January 5 a small scouting party near the Dutch Stores
captured a load of provisions being taken to cross Amite River, and
without any military permits
January 7, 1865.
The same night I sent another party to scout the upper end of the New
River country between the Dutch Stores and Hampton's Ferry, on Bayou
Manchac”
