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.

----------

     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.
