Intestate Succession of Don Luis Ducret
30 August 1770
Title:
Location:
Proceedings instituted by the heirs of the deceasedDon Luis Ducret for the purpose of making aninventory, appraisal, and partition of theproperties left by the said deceased.
Louisiana State Museum, Historical Center, SpanishJudicial Records, RG 2, 30 August 1770
General Information: Judging from the inventory of goods and thefact that Ducret died at Balize on a return trip from SaintDomingue, it is most likely that he was a wholesale . merchant. Heprimarily i mp or t e d cloth, hardware, and staple crops.unfortunately his business goods are intermixed with his personaleffects in the inventory, but are for the most part readilyextracted because they appear in large quantities. Also pointingto Ducret's mercantile endeavors are several account books andthe many bills of exchange drawn in his favor for large sums ofmoney. .
I I The document does not reveal much about Ducret's personal'- life, other than that he was married and left two children of
school age. He owned six slaves, 'on e of them an Amerindian (e"enthough O'Reilly had outlawed Indian slavery a short time prior).possibly more about Ducret especially his residence andoccupation -- can be found in census materials.
