Don Anselmo Blanchard, CAPTAIN of the Militia of the town Balensuela (was
located on Bayou Lafourche near Napoleonville) of the province of
Louisiana, has sold a negro named Jupiter of the Senagal nation, of the age
of twenty-two years, a little more or less; said negro at present suffering
from a pain in his chest and a sore on the upper lip, for the sum of seven
hundred dollars to Dr. Miguel Mahier, physician of the Acadian families
which are present in the district of Manchac , obliging the said Senor
to pay this sum by the end of the year from this date, and giving
this for security of the said negro with the expressed infirmitves,
they signed it, to which I may certify when it is fitting in this
Fort Bute de Manchac, on the twelfth of September one thousand
seven hundred and eighty five.
