The Fayard Family
one Negro woman and a Negro child. Marianne LaGarenne, mother of the two daughters, had already sold a third of the land, and fearing that it was at the request of Pierre de Lorme, her husband, with whom she contracted a second marriage, it was thought that she was going to divert the rest from her children. It is asked that Mr. DeLorme on the first part be condemned to wash his hands of the division of the property and participation in the inheritance of his wife, so as to get all for his wife rather than for his sister-in-law. For this he uses the total including expenses and ask that De Lorme render an account leaving everything together. The general trial is heard and the Council has ordained and does ordain that for equity in the division, the Council orders that movables of the succession are to be sold, returns are to be divided, after raising what comes to the widow. The lot and house are to be sold judicially, to the profit of the heirs. The succession is to bear the costs.
