I went to the LSU Library web page that you cited, and read the section on slave revolts and insurrections. As you said, there is a paragraph about the attempted revolt of 1812 on the "Bellechasse, Castantato, McCarty and Lanusse, and Bienville plantations." It cites some court documents, which I'll try to look at when I return to New Orleans, and it cites some books and articles for further reading. When they speak of the "Macarty and Lanusse" plantation, I wonder if they mean the plantation of Delphine's cousin, Celeste Macarty, and Celeste's husband, Paul Lanusse. But anyway, if this is supposed to be the slave revolt in which Delphine's mother was killed, it doesn't work. Madame Macarty, nee Marie Jeanne Lerable, definitely died in 1807. I have her funeral record: Funeral of Dona Maria Juana Lerable, February 26, 1807, St. Louis Cathedral/White Persons, unnumbered volume for 1803-1807, part 2, p. 155, act 410, Archdiocesan Archives. Celeste Macarty Lanusse was also supposed to have been a cruel slave mistress. From several documented sources I've heard that she killed at least one of her slaves. > [Original Message] > From: Nancy <nancybrister621@bellsouth.net> > To: <laorlean@rootsweb.com> > Date: 04/08/2008 4:46:55 PM > Subject: Re: [LAORLEAN] McCarty Plantation: Carolyn > > I read about the slave revolt conspiracy at the site below.

So, how is this Lanusse related to Armand?
