Abstract
Primarily receipts, promissory notes, and other financial documents of Baptiste Meullion. Receipts are for Martin Duralde’s drafting of Baptiste Meullion’s marriage contract with Marie Célèste Suzanne Donato (Bello), donations to the Saint Landry Catholic Church (Opelousas, La.), taxes, freight on luxury goods, newspaper postage, medical care for an enslaved person, legal services, expenses and disbursements from his handling of the succession of Marie-Pouponne Taillefer, expenses from processing his 1830 sugar crop, and for payment on a mortgage to purchase the enslaved man Marcel from Widow Stelly, the wife of Robin (1820, see #5). Another receipt (1830) also relates to his purchase of the enslaved man Marcel, but this time the seller is named as the estate of Marie Thérèse "Berthelotte," wife of Dr. Robin. In many of these transactions, Jean Miramond is acting on behalf of Meullion, perhaps as his agent or partner, and the unit of currency continues to be denoted as "piastres"and not dollars in most exchanges, even after Louisiana became a territory of the United States in 1803. Promissory notes are with Valérien Allain, J. Miramond, and Messrs. Smith and Brown. Also present is a receipt from Curé E. Rousselon’s for payment received from Antoine Donat Meuillon for the burial of Baptiste Meullion, who died February 17, 1840, financial documents for the Widow of François Meullion, and a receipt for Widow Fédrich Blassy accounts with Bellazaire Meullion. Documents in French and English.
