Jean Comaux, Jean Boudreaux, Augustin Boudreau, Lufroy Boudreau, Agricole Come 
LeBlanc, Julien Barras, and Constance Louise Thibodaux, wife of the late

wheels, $4. ANIMALS: 20 wild horses; 44 head of cattle; 2 milk cows. Joseph 
LeBlanc paid $298, the remainder of what he owed his father for a slave he 
purchased from him on September 6, 1814, for $700. Debts were owed by the 
estate to Dr. Duhamel and Father Isabey. Appraised value of estate: $920.50

SALE, August 29, 1816. Buyers were: Jean Comeaux (who purchased for $40 a 
pecanwood armoire appraised at $15), Francois LeBlanc, Jean Melancon, Joseph

Augustin Bijou, Julien Poirrier, Francois Potier, Michel Martin, Michel Dupuy, 
Silvestre LeBlanc, Joseph Babino, Sr., Charles Potier, Alexis Bertrand, Simon 
Leblanc, Jr., Francois Begnaud, Jacques Fabre, Jean Broussard, Antoine Artache,

FAMILY MEETING, August 30, 1816. The heirs of Simon LeBlanc, namely, Joseph 
LeBlanc, Silvestre LeBlanc, Simon LeBlanc, Jr., Francois LeBlanc, Jean Comaux, 
Jean Broussard, Julien Bara, Jean Boudreau, Augustin Boudreau, and Lufroy 
Boudreau, assembled as a family meeting to inform Judge Briant that among Simon 
LeBlanc's possessions was an old slave woman named Therese. She was old and 
infirm and could no longer work and could not be sold; therefore, they agreed 
that they would each contribute to a fund for the welfare of the old woman. The
fund, amounting to $110, would be given to Francois LeBlanc who would care for 
Therese for the remainder of her life.
