I have a David Dortch, resident of East Baton Rouge Parish, who authorized his wife Eleanor to sell 413 arpents of land boardering Bayou Baton Rouge and 25 slaves, 24 April 1849. I also have an Elenor Dortch who died in 1866 and is buried in Young Cem., and who may have been the same Elenor as in the 1849 reference above. Is this your line? It may be easier to e-mail me directly at Ponchatoula1@I-55.com Jim
