Therefore return this writ as having made the Sum of Three Thousand three hundred and forty dollars as above stated.

This 27th day of March 1826,

George Jackson, Sheriff

Costs of this writ:

Sixty-six Dollars & 87/100.

Note: Remaining documents are receipt of payment for the property at the Sheriff?s sale, signed by Joseph Andrus, the advertisements for the sale written in both French & English, and a document signed by Judge George King stating that David Todd had a lien on the same property as a second mortgage for the sum of $467.00, with interest, dating to 1 March, 1823, and that this was the only lien against the property.

Transcribed from a copy of the original filed in St. Landry Parish Courthouse.

Transcribed 11 July 2010

So, Joseph bought back the mortgaged property for less than its value (using the mortgage credit as cash), and Solomon had lost his home and likely al, or most of his property. Solomon died 2 years later, at age 28.

Did Joseph allow his son and his family of wife Louise Tauriac and their four children to remain on the property, or did he make them leave? What had happened to Solomon's wealth between 1817 and 1823?

When his mother, Marie Hayes, died in 1812, Solomon (still a minor) received the following inheritance from his mother's estate:

S ixth: Was received by Solomon Andrus a Negro boy named Robert at

five hundred & fifty dollars 550.00



In moveables the sum of one hundred and ninety dollars 190.00



The above being the articles collated Amount brought forward $740.00



A tract of land situated in the aforesaid Parish of Saint Landry and lying in the

Prairie of the Church, adjoining on the North side to the land of Joseph Gradnigo

and on the South to Joseph Andrus, containing eight hundred arpens at

two thousand dollars 2000.00



An undivided half of a tract ofland situated on the West side of the Bayou Marais

Croquant, bounded by land formerly belonging to Luke Collins, Ellis & Donato

Bello., and commonly known as the Cypress swamp tract, containing six hundred

& twenty-five American arpens at nine hundred and forty-six dollars & fifty cents 946.50



A Negro woman called Yellow Fanny aged about forty years with her child,

a boy named Morrison about six months old at seven hundred dollars 700.00



A Negro boy named Lewis aged about ten years at four hundred dollars 400.00



Amount brought forward $4880.00



A Negro boy named Tom aged about eight years at four hundred fifty dollars 450.00



A Negro boy named Isaac aged about six years at three hundred and fifty dollars 350.00



A Negro girl named Juliann aged about three years at two hundred dollars 200.00



$5886.50



The Sum returned in Cash 62.85



Complete share of Solomon Andrus $5825.65



So, at age 13, he had the equivalent in 2007 dollars of $102,200 at his dispersal. He married Louise Aurore Tauriac about 1820, and she probably brought some property and cash into the marriage. Yet, by 1823, he has only a portion of the first tract of land, and only 2 slaves, when he originally had six. He owed his father, Joseph a debt of $3500.00, which in 2007 dollars would equal $61,400.00, or 2/3 of his total wealth, if he had any left at that point.

One scenario might be that Solomon owed a gambling debt, or made some bad investments, and Joseph seized the property to keep it from being further mortgaged to other creditors, thereby saving the property for Solomon and his family. The size of the $3500 debt, and the loss of over $102,000.00 in just a few years is mind boggling. Obviously Solomon had serious financial concerns, and perhaps his family was trying to save him before it was too late.



At the time of his death in 1828, Solomon's estate was only worth $29.00, consisting of a barrel of some type of goods, a bed, and a lot of pots. This young man (and his family) had been reduced to paupers. It appears the family remained involved after his death, as there was a family council and tutorship proceedings filed for the supervision of the minor children.


Also, Solomon's children were to inherit their deceased father's share when their grandfather Joseph died. Joseph died in 1834, but his estate was not settled for 10 years. By that time, Solomon's children were young adults.

Joseph married Hetty Edith Mary Dunks about 1817. Hetty was born about 1797; died after 1818. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In the 1850 census. La St Landry Parish. Copied record of $500 bond posted by Claiborne to marry Ellen Lyons. This lists both sets of parents, refers to Dotrief Andrus as "the late" Copy of Bond and Marriage Lic. in file. (On the Mar. bond Claiborne made his mark. Ellen signed her name)

In 1850 La. Census his age is given. In SWLA Records/Hebert there is a
Clair with year of birth the same as Claiborne, so I think this was the same child although I have listed them as 2 seperate children.

Claiborne married Ellen Lyons on 10 Apr 1832 in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. Ellen (daughter of William Lyons and Harriet "Hetty" Hayes) was born in 1816 in Louisiana; died after 1833. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In the 1850 census we find that several of Dotrief's sons are no longer in Opelousas. They can be found in the Calcasieu Parish census records. At this time this included Beauregard Parish as well as Allen Parish. The local post office or community was, Limentow River. We find Stephen, Claiborne, Calvit, James T., and Lorenzo all living in the same area. They are all listed as planter, laborer, or graser. The value of their land is all about the same although it doesn't seem to be the large operations of their uncles and cousins in Opelousas. None is valued over 300 dollars. By 1860 things are looking up as Claiborn's property value is up to 1000 dollars and his personal property is valued at 8000. Claiborne's brother, Calvit fares a little better, his property value is 2000 and his personal property is 12,000. These two brothers were evidently close to each other, as through the census records we see they are always located two or three dwellings apart.

Calvit married Elizabeth Coward, daughter of Hardy Coward, considered to be a prominent man at this time.
