|
| 83 | BIRTH: Year of birth would be from 1811-1821, according to age rage (30 to 40 years) in the 1851 Census of Trinidad. Place of birth for all members of the family recorded as Trinidad in this record. | FAUCOUR SELLIER, Jeanne Elizabeth (I10337)
|
| 84 | BIRTH: - An unnamed daughter is enumerated with Pierre Sellier and his wife in the 1750 Census of Carriacou, and this is likely a record of Marie Catherine Sellier. - Year of birth would be before 1753, given that she is not described as a minor in her 1775 marriage record to Jean Binet in the records of Marigot, Saint-Martin, 1774, page 2, left side, last entry, continuing on to the right side of the page. Parents in this record are identified as Pierre Sellier and Marie Fran?oise Desbonne. | SELLIER, Marie Catherine (I10283)
|
| 85 | BIRTH: - Consistent with Honor? Sellier and Margueritte Sellier (her siblings) being identified as the uncle and aunt of her son, Jean Fran?ois Guery, in his baptismal record. | SELLIER, Marie Françoise (I10257)
|
| 86 | BIRTH: - Evidence for him being the son of Francois Sellier Faucour includes (1) his name, which appears to incorporate those of his father and grandfather, (2) the fact that he is listed as the co-owner of the Champ-Fleurs Estate in the 1819, which is described as "late the property of F.S. Faucour," and (3) the fact that that the entire estate was sold in September 1824 by the "heirs of the late Faucour." - As no birth record for him is found in the records of Marigot, Saint-Martin, where 4 older siblings have birth and baptismal records up to March 1793, it is assumed that he was born in Trinidad and Tobago after 1793. - Since he is listed as having been commissioned a Captain in the local Trinidad Militia on 16 July 1816 (see below), he must have been at least 15 years of age at this point (the age at which free Trinidadian men were required to enlist in the Trinidad Militia in 1816, and officer commissions were bought from the Governor or his Secretary, so could theoretically go to a person at any age), so he would have been born before 16 July 1801. [Source for information on the Trinidad Militia: Randolph T. Jones, "The Trinidad Militia, 1801-38," Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research 82, no. 330 (2004): 132-54. Accessed December 13, 2020. http://www.jstor.org/stable/44231056 ]. MARRIAGE: - The 1851 Census of Trinidad, Ward of Aricagua, shows an entry for his family that strongly suggests that he was married twice. - His second wife was Jeanne Suzanne Ach?, supported by two pieces of evidence. >First, Jeanne Suzanne Ache Faucour Sellier was the leading name in a list of sellers in the sale of two pieces of land from the Mont D'Or estate in 1849 and 1850 (and the Ach? surname was that of a prominent contemporary family that owned an estate in that part of Trinidad). This transaction is recorded in "Selected Trinidad Land Transactions -- From 1810 to the Early 1860s," page 4, available on this website at this link. >Second, her full married and maiden names are given in an entry for the sale of one-quarter of L'Esperance Estate in the Quarter of Guanapo on 14 April 1858 from Jean Germaine Elizabeth Sage Widow Ach? to Jeanne Susanne Ach?

Record available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=GUADELOUPE&commune=SAINT-FRANCOIS&annee=1743. ADDRESSES: Saint-Fran?ois parish, Guadeloupe (1716 baptismal record, 1743 marriage record) Anse-Bertrand parish, Guadeloupe (birth records of children from 1744 to 1747) Cariacou, Grenada (likely arrived in 1748; listed in 1750 census; listed in 1763 capitation tax roll) Marigot parish, Saint-Martin (his daughter Emelie was a baptismal sponsor in 1773) In 1782, his widow was described as a resident of Colombier, Marigot parish, Saint-Martin (1782 marriage record of daughter Adelaide) MURDER, TRIAL, AND ESCAPE FROM GUADELOUPE: - According to the records of his trial in absentia on the matter, on Sunday, 27 November 1746, Pierre Sellier and his black enslaved servant Francois killed a free Mulatto named Vincent Langlois in the main road of the town of Saint-Bertrand with blows from their sword and their feet. Langlois apparently had beaten up Sellier previously. Pierre escaped from Guadeloupe and was tried in absentia. The court found both him and his enslaved servant to be guilty. - On 17 August 1748 Pierre was condemned to death, and he was ordered to pay 3000 livres to the widow of Vincent Langlois, in addition to having his property confiscated. - Since Pierre Sellier was no longer in Guadeloupe to be punished, though, the court ordered that he be executed in effigy by having a painting of him attached to the gallows in Sainte-Anne and executed. Apparently, this was a practice of the time to give the community some sense that justice still was being done when a criminal escaped. - In November 1775, Pierre Sellier submitted a petition to the authorities in Guadeloupe for "Letters of Rehabilitation" that would restore his legal status, some 27 years after the case against him was decided in absentia. Along with his petition was a copy of the court records from his trial in absentia in 1748. - The officials involved sought guidance as to whether such Letters could be considered in his case, or if another remedy was available. Their superiors did not reply, and a follow-up letter was sent a year later, on 10 November 1776. There was no apparent reply to this letter either, and the file was closed in 1778 with a notation that the accused (Pierre Sellier) had died. - This explains why there are no records for the birth of children to Pierre in Guadeloupe after 1747--he and his family had escaped to another location, likely Carriacou where he is recorded as living in 1763. - The entire case file for this matter (of 100 pages) is available at this link. LAND HOLDINGS: - Listed as a landholder paying the capitation tax in Carriacou, Grenada, in 1763, in "Extract from the Capitation Roll of the Island of Carioacou for the Year 1763." Listed as Pierre Sellier with 14 negroes on which he was paying tax, 8 negroes under the age of 16 on which he was not paying tax, and 30 sheep. - According to Denise Parisis and Henri Parisis, "Le si?cle du sucre ? Saint-Martin fran?ais," Bulletin de la Soci?t? d'Histoire de la Guadeloupe (1994), page 166, Pierre Sellier was repatriated in 1765 to Saint-Martin with many other French residents of Grenada (which had been captured by the British in 1762 and ceded to Britain in 1763 by the Treaty of Paris). In 1768 Pierre Sellier received a concession to farm in Colombier, settled there with his wife and 8 children, and named his estate "Delight". He jointly established a sugar mill there with Thomas Richardson in 1772, and the partnership persisted to 1776. From 1776 to his death, Sellier operated the sugar mill himself. His widow continued the operation until 1792, when she sold it to Richard Richardson. This source gives his year of death as 1786, but that is contradicted by other contemporary records from the 1780s. DEATH: - A notation made on a piece of correspondence in his petition to be given Letters of Rehabilitation stated "Cet accus? ?tant mort, il n'y a plus rien ? faire." [This accused being dead, there is nothing more to do.] The date of the correspondence was 10 November 1776, so the notation was made after that. The entire file in which it was located has a cover sheet that gives its dates as 1746-1778. This makes it quite likely that the authorities in charge of this file were informed of Sellier's death in 1778 and closed the file as a result. So, his date of death is listed here as about 1778. - The place of his death would have been Colombier, Saint-Martin, where he was operating an estate and sugar mill. - Listed as the late [Fr: fue] Pierre Sellier in the August 1782 marriage record of his daughter Adelaide. - Wife identified as a widow [Fr: veuve]--as Marie Fran?oise Desbonnes veuve Sellier--in an August 1785 baptismal record of a granddaughter. | SELLIER, Pierre (I10243)

| 97 | BIRTH: - Full date given as 23 October 1789 in his February 1790 baptismal record in the records of Marigot, Saint-Martin, 1790, page 3, right side, second entry. Parents named as Fran?ois Sellier Faucour and Adelaide Sellier. Record available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=SAINT-MARTIN&commune=MARIGOT&annee=1790.

| 98 | BIRTH: - Full date given as 24 February 1781 in baptismal record for Fabien Sellier in the records of Anse-Bertrand, Guadeloupe, 1781, image 2, right side, second full entry. Parents named as Honore Sellier and Marie Margueritte Desbonnes. Record available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=GUADELOUPE&commune=ANSE-BERTRAND&annee=1781. - "F. Terville Sellier" is identified as the son of "Margrite Desbonne Ve. Honor? Sellier" [Fr. abbreviation "Ve." for "veuve"] in her return for the 1819 Register of Personal Slaves. This means that he would be the son of Honor? Sellier and Marie Margueritte Desbonnes. This document is at The National Archives of the UK (TNA), T 71/509, folios 1599-1600, "The Triennial Return of Margrite Desbonne Ve. Honor? Sellier by her Son F. Tirville Sellier of the Parish of St Juan of Personal Slaves," image available in "Former British Colonial Dependencies, Slave Registers, 1813-1834," Trinidad, "1819, Personal Slaves," images 510-511, on Ancestry at https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1129/images/CSUK1812_133750-00509. - The lone enslaved person in the 1819 Register of Personal Slaves return for Magrite Desbonne is Sedoine Clascian, a carpenter, and a "creole of Guadeloupe." The same person was enumerated as a personal enslaved servant of Fabien Terville Sellier in his 1813 Triennial Register of Personal Slaves return. The fact that the same person went from his slave register to hers reinforces the case that Fabien Terville Sellier is the same person as F. Terville Sellier. - A birth in 1781 is consistent with him being listed as having been commissioned a Lieutenant in the local Trinidad Militia on 19 July 1814 (see below). The minimum age for this would have been 15 years at this point in time (the age at which free Trinidadian men were required to enlist in the Trinidad Militia in 1814, and officer commissions were bought from the Governor or his Secretary, so could theoretically go to a person at any age), so he would have been born before 19 July 1799. (Source for information on the Trinidad Militia: Randolph T. Jones, "The Trinidad Militia, 1801-38," Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research 82, no. 330 (2004): 132-54. Accessed December 13, 2020. http://www.jstor.org/stable/44231056). - His role and relation to the St. Margarett estate in the 1813 Slave Register return is not clear, as he would have been old enough to have inherited at least a share of the estate from his father. CHRISTENING: Full date given as 22 March 1781 in baptismal record for Fabien Sellier in the records of Anse-Bertrand, Guadeloupe, 1781, image 2, right side, second full entry. Witnesses were Philippe Honor? Sellier (described as his brother) and Marierine Flecher. Record available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=GUADELOUPE&commune=ANSE-BERTRAND&annee=1781. MARRIAGE: - A wife of Terville Sellier is referred to (but not named) in connection with his September 1824 purchase of a portion of Champs Fleurs Estate. - Josephine Terville Sellier is referred to as a widow [Fr. abbreviation "Ve." for "veuve"] in an 1831 Triennial Slave Register, living in Port of Spain. Given the unusual nature of the name "Terville," and the fact that she owns two of the enslaved servants listed in Fabien Terville's 1825 Slave Register return, she appears to have been his wife. MILITARY: - Lieutenant in St. Joseph's Company, Second Division, Trinidad Militia, with a commissioning date of 19 July 1814 (Source: Trinidad Almanac for the Year of Our Lord 1827 (Port of Spain, Trinidad: J. Holman & Co., 1827), page 37. LAND HOLDINGS: - Listed as the co-owner of the Champ-Fleurs Estate in the 1819 along with Fran?ois Honor? Faucour Sellier. - Appears to have bought out the share of Fran?ois Honor? Faucour Sellier prior sometime in 1819-1821, as he is listed as the sole owner of the estate in the January 1822 Triennial Plantation Slaves Register return. - Purchased a quarter-share of the Champs-Fleurs estate in the Quarter of Aricagua on the same date [25 September 1824] that the entire estate was sold by the "heirs of the late Faucour." - The precipitous decline in his fortunes after 1824 suggests that he went bankrupt. The Trinidadian historian Anthony de Verteuil, in his book Begorrat-Brunton: A History of Diego Martin - 1784-1884 (Port of Spain, Paria Publishing, 1987), pages 104-107, discusses the situation in Trinidad in 1824-1825. It was economically perilous for estate owners, as uncertainty over the future of slavery was on the minds of those who had invested in backing various estates. Sugar plantations, with their high labor requirements, were most vulnerable to these stresses. I believe that Fabien Terville Sellier bought his portion of Champ Fleurs with a heavy dose of borrowing and got his mortgage called and lost the land. That would be consistent with him selling so many of his enslaved workers in advance of the 1825 Plantation Slaves Register. - Owned a house in Port of Spain at No. 16 Cumberland Street, which he sold to Simon Paul Vessiny in about 1824. The house was not in good repair, and in February 1829, Vessiny's son was ordered by a court in Port of Spain to repair and reroof the house. [See account (which mistakenly renders his name as "Jerville") in Anthony de Verteuil, The Years Before (Port of Spain: Inprint Caribbean Ltd., 1981), page 84.] - The history of Champs Fleurs estate in Aricagua in the years immediately after 1825 is murky. It is not listed by any owner in the 1825 Plantation Slaves Register. The larger part of the estate (63 and 1/6 quar?es) went from Abb? Gobert to Joseph Burke back to Abb? Gobert. On 23 June 1832, this portion of the estate was sold to Joseph Anthony Giuseppi, in what appears to be a land exchange involving his Marseilles estate. Giuseppi filed the next Plantation Slaves Register return for Champ Fleurs estate in 1834 (TNA, T 71/519, Folio 2269), which was no longer a sugar plantation but a "provisions" (i.e., food) plantation. None of the enslaved workers previously associated with the estate appear in this register return. Perhaps the estate lay fallow for a number of years from 1825-1832, which was not uncommon in Trinidad in the early 1800s. DEATH: - Alive to submit his January 1828 Personal Slaves Register return. - Given that Josephine Terville Sellier, a widow in 1831, was his wife, Fabien Terville Sellier would have died before the 22 January 1831 date of her Slave Register return. - This suggests that he died between January 1828 and January 1831. | TERVILLE SELLIER, Fabien (I10302)

| 100 | BIRTH: - Full date given as 27 February 1795 in her baptismal record in the records of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, researched by Patricia Wight. Parents named (in Spanish) as Juan M[ari]a Dancla and M[ari]a Josefa Silvestre. - Consistent with age (59 years) in her March 1854 burial record in the records of St. Joseph RC Church, St. Joseph, Trinidad and Tobago.

BURIAL: Full date given as 9 March 1854 in her burial record in the records of St. Joseph RC Church, St. Joseph, Trinidad and Tobago. Buried in the principal cemetery of the parish, according to this record, which would probably be the larger St. J's Cemetery near the junction of King Street and Eastern Main Road, and not the smaller cemetery adjoining the church itself. | DANCLA, Rosalie (I10318)
