My Fifth Great-Grandfather
Ursin Patin was the husband of Aspasie Guidry[1]Hebert, Southwest Louisiana Records, 2A:739-740. Citation reads: “PATIN, Ursin – native of this parish (major son of Antoine – inhabitant at la grand point & Catherine BOISSIER) m. 22 April … Continue reading and the father of eleven children, one of whom died as a young child.[2]Sindi Broussard Terrien, “Carrow-Walker Family Tree,” Ancestry (https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/76901568/family?cfpid=46353451744 : viewed 13 April 2022), Ursin Patin. Ursin and his family lived in the 15th Judicial District of Lafayette, Louisiana. He and Aspasie had been married over thirty-six years when he died in March 1853.[3]Ursin Patin, James H. Walker family record book, 1847-1978, Louisiana State University – LSU Libraries, Special Collections, Baton Rouge, LA 70803, “Ursin Patin departed this life the — day of … Continue reading Upon his death, the estate had to be divided among the heirs: his wife and children.
The distribution of an estate to the heirs in Louisiana is called “succession.” The surviving spouse usually received one half of the estate and the children divided the other half. This was the civil law followed in Louisiana at the time of Ursin Patin’s death. To accomplish a fair distribution of an estate, in some cases, a decision was made to sell off or liquidate the estate and monies received were then distributed to the heirs.
Ursin Patin’s Succession documents were found on FamilySearch.org under the Lafayette, Louisiana Probate Records in the digitized book Successions v. A 1848-1859 within the “Successions, 1848-1868; index to successions, 1823-1971″ database, pages 555-566.[4]Succession of Ursin Patin deceased, Succession Volume A 1848-1856, pgs. 555-566; FamilySearch.com, “Successions, 1848-1868; index to successions, 1823-1971,” Successions v.

An examination of the Succession follows. The legal proceedings began on 31 March 1853 to distribute the estate to the heirs. The Succession was closed twenty months later in November 1854. Over eighty people were involved in the succession. The document names Ursin and Aspasie’s children, their son-in-laws, the public servants involved, the enslaved people, the neighbors, and the people who bought items at the sale of the estate. (The term “enslaved people” is used versus “slave” to recognize the enslaved were people first, though their owners may not have recognized them as people but only as a commodity.) This examination includes a concise description of most of the people named. The author transcribed the twelve-page document which can be viewed within this blog. Unless otherwise cited, all information in this examination is derived from the Succession.
The author transcribed Ursin Patin's Succession for two reasons: 1. The document image is in a locked database on FamilySearch.org which requires going to a FamilySearch library to access it; and 2. though the handwriting is beautiful and neat and it was written in English, it can be difficult to read. Every effort has been made to transcribe the document as it was written which means that names may have several variations of spelling, words may be spelled incorrectly, and punctuation may not be used as expected. Additionally, line and page breaks were followed. Please excuse the author for any errors made during transcription.
The documents were beautifully handwritten in English script. Though William Brandt was the Notary public and recorder, it appears that Ernst Mouton Clerk of the 15th Judicial District Court was responsible for copying the original documents into the volume of successions for Lafayette.
Throughout the succession documents several different spellings for the area called Vermilion were used. Today, “Vermilion” seems to be the official spelling. Vermilion was also spelled “Vermillon” and “Vermillion.” Did the clerk copy the spellings exactly as they were written on the original documents or did the clerk make some mistakes? Given names were also spelled several ways within the document, such as Fanili and Fanelly. Faneley will be used in this writing as that is how her name was spelled in her baptismal record.[5]Rev. Donald J. Hebert, Southwest Louisiana Records (Eunice, Louisiana: 1976) 3:508. “PATIN, Faneley (Ursin & Marie Aspasie GUIDRY) B. 11 APRIL 1831 (LAF. CH.: V.3, P. 133).” Additionally, Jean Dupre Patin, eldest son, is referred to as J.D. Patin, Jean Dupreville Patin, John Dupréville Patin, and Dupre Patin. There are other instances in the document of various spellings and variations of the name of people who were referred to more than once.
Alexander Latiolais and Charles Z. Martin inventoried the estate and estimated values for at least forty-nine items which included land, farm equipment, and enslaved people. The inventory did not include any cash. When the sale of the estate took place, ninety-seven “lots” of land, enslaved people, cattle, horses, and farm equipment were sold for a total of $20,821.10. A second auction was held nine months later in which the enslaved Emilie and her children were sold for $1,500.
The process for this succession proceedings included the following actions:
- Oath of Tutor Jean Dupré Patin (31 March 1853)
- Oath of Tutrix Aspasie Guidry (5 May 1853)
- Inventory (31 March 1853)
- Oath of Members (31 March 1853)
- Two family meetings (31 March 1853 and 5 January 1854)
- Sale of Estate (9 February 1854)
- Sale of property (4 October 1854)
- Bond of Administrator (7 February 1854)
- Recording of documents (16 November 1854)

Aspasie’s Inheritance
At the second family meeting held ten months after Ursin’s death, Aspasie made an offer of relinquishment. This meant she released her right of inherited property to the other heirs as it was in the interest of the minors, Emilie and Ermina. The offer was accepted. The family then decided to adjudicate to Aspasie the plantation which consisted of 340 arpents (an arpent is a measure of land just under an acre), a tract of wood land, nine of the enslaved (see Table 4), and other items. It was also decided that the remaining estate would be sold.
Some of the enslaved people in the inventory of 1853 may have been counted in the 1850 and 1860 Slave Schedules,[13]1850 U.S. census, Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, slave schedule, Western District, Ursin Patin, owner or manager (twenty-four unnamed slaves); NARA microfilm publication M432, record group … Continue reading but since names were not included in the schedules, identification is uncertain.

Sale of the Estate
A section of the Succession document was entitled “Proces [sic] of Verbal Sale” which describes the items sold at the auction. The items sold were land, enslaved people, cattle, horses, and farm equipment. The sale of the land brought in a total of $6,380. The following people, either family or neighbors, purchased the different properties.
Land Sold at Auction
- Son-in-law Louis Theogene Judice bought the tract of prairie measuring ninety arpents.
- C.H. Mouton & John A. Riques bought the tract of prairie measuring fifty arpents.
- Joseph Dugat bought the land around Martin Cypress Swamp.
- Joseph M. Dugat and Narcisse Dugat won the bid for the tract of wood and prairie land.
- Son Clairville Patin purchased the tract of land owned jointly by Ursin Patin and Robert Cade, which was in Jefferson County, Texas, at Pine Island.
- Aspasie won the bid for one vacherie in Texas along with the brand and the horses within.
The Enslaved
Twenty-six enslaved people were documented in the Inventory and the sale of the estate. Aspasie retained nine of the enslaved. Five of Aspasie’s children or the spouses of her daughters bought eleven of the enslaved. The enslaved people who were included in the sale were purchased for more than the estimated value assigned at inventory. See Table 5. The total sale amount of the enslaved people was $10,995, which was just over half the proceeds.
It is not known why Emilie and her two children were not included in the sale conducted on 9 February 1854. An auction was held on 4 October 1854 and they were sold to Emilien Bernard, someone who lived nearby.

Other Items Sold at Auction
The Echo of Lafayette advertised the sales of the estate. The sale was also “announced to the by Standers, in a loud & audible voice both, in french and English languages.” At the auction held at Jean Dupré Patin’s residence, family, neighbors and visitors to the area purchased ninety-seven “lots.” Aspasie and her children bought fifty-one of the lots and paid what amounted to just over half of the proceeds on 9 February 1854. Aspasie bought seventeen lots for $1,962.25. Son-in-law Louis Theogene Judice bought land and five lots for $1,386. Son Jean Dupré bought sixteen lots for $692.50, and son Clairville bought land, horses and Frederick for a total of $1,515.
