HELENA PARISH, LOUISIANA, CONVEYANCE BOOK B Term of Parish Judge AUDLEY L. OSBORNE, May 1811 - Oct. 1812 [Copied/abstracted by Warren B. Wall. February, 1992] ***Surname index referenced by entry number included on the bottom of this file.*** FOREWARD The Louisiana Territory was purchased by the United States from France in 1803. It included the Isle of Orleans, lying east of the Mississippi River, but not West Florida, although the United States would later claim that the latter was included. As a matter of fact, however, West Florida, including the Distrito de Santa Helena, would remain under Spanish control until 1810. In March of 1804, the Louisiana Territory was divided by an act of Congress into the Territory of Orleans (that portion lying south of 33 degrees latitude) and the District of Louisiana (that portion north of 33 degrees). In October of 1804, WILLIAM C.C. CLAIBORNE was inaugerated Governor of the Territory of Orleans. That part of West Florida lying between the Pearl and Mississippi rivers was divided by the Spanish into the four distritos of Feliciana, Baton Rouge, St. Helena and "Chifoncte". The top Spanish official in each district was the Comandante, who also served as an Alcalde. Don JOSE BERNARDO DeHEVIA was the Commandante of the St. Helena District from ? until mid-1809, at about which time he left the district. (See Doc. #22-74, this paper.) Presumably at about that time the Spanish appointed SHEPHERD BROWN to succeed DeHEVIA. BROWN, originally from Baltimore, was a business partner and associate of JOHN McDONOGH of New Orleans, and the two of them owned a considerable amount of land in West Florida. BROWN held the position of Comandante until the Spanish were overthrown in the West Florida Rebellion in 1810. Of particular significance is the fact that the conveyance or notarial records of the St. Helena District, recorded in Spanish by BROWN in 1809-1810, were saved and comprise the first fifty-five pages of the St. Helena Parish Conveyance Book B. (Unfortunately, about half the pages are missing, and the exist- ing pages are in poor condition and difficult to read.) The West Florida Rebellion in 1810 resulted in the overthrow of Spanish authority and the establishment of the free and independent "West Florida Republic." However, the young republic was short-lived; the United States at about that time claimed it on the basis that it was included in the Louisiana Purchase. After some negotiation the United States prevailed, and West Florida (extending to the Perdido River east of Mobile) was annexed to the Territory or Orleans in December of 1810 as the County of Feliciana. The County of Feliciana was divided into six parishes, Feliciana, East Baton Rouge, St. Helena, St. Tammany, "Viloxi" and Pascagoula, the latter two lying east of the Pearl River. The top officials in each parish, appointed by the governor, were the parish judge and the sheriff. On Jan. 14, 1811, Gov. CLAIBORNE appointed AUDLEY L. OSBORNE Parish Judge for St. Helena, and at about the same time he appointed FORTISCUE CUMING Sheriff and Justice of the Peace. In May of 1811, Jude OSBORNE began recording St. Helena conveyances and other documents, and he used the same journal that Comandante BROWN had used when recording Spanish records! That is, Judge OSBORNES'S record begins on page 57 of Conveyance Book B. (St. Helena Parish and the Spanish Dist. of St. Helena were approximately the same geographically, but there were sig- nificant differences in both east and west boundaries.) On April 30, 1812, Louisiana was formally admitted to the Union as the eighteenth state, and it comprised all of the former Territory of Orleans except the two parishes lying east of the Pearl River ("Viloxi" and Pascagoula). WILLIAM C.C. CLAIBORNE was elected governor of the new state, and OSBORNE continued to serve as Parish Judge of St. Helena, at least through October of 1812, the month in which he made his final entries in Book B. His successor was SHEPHERD BROWN (the ex-Comandante), who began recording conveyances in July of 1813. For some unknown reason, BROWN, rather than use the journal that he and OSBORNE had previously used, began recording in a new journal, and that journal became Book A. FORTISCUE CUMING, too, served through 1812, and he was succeeded as sheriff in 1813 by DAVID KEMP. However, CUMING continued as Justice of the Peace in Springfield in 1813. References: 1.

St. Helena Parish, La., Conveyance Books A & B ---------- The abstracts that follow represent all of the St. Helena deeds and other documents recorded by Judge OSBORNE from May of 1811 through October of 1812. The lands described in these deeds might lie anywhere within the present-day parishes of St. Helena, Livingston (except Maurepas Island) and the western "half" of Tangipahoa. Such information as was in the documents to help locate the land is included in the abstracts. (Remember that townships and ranges were not laid out by U.S. surveyors until some time later.) Entries were not numbered by Judge OSBORNE, so for our pur- poses here we have asigned two-part document numbers. The entry number precedes the "-", and the page number follows it. ---------- THE DOCUMENTS 1a-57: Recorded May 4, 1811.
