Parents named as Antoine Clarac and Marie Adela?de Sallier. CHRISTENING: According to his marriage record, in connection with his marriage, he presented a baptismal certificate from Port of Spain, Trinidad, dated 24 July 1824. The certificate was translated from the original Spanish (in which most Cathodic churcords were kept in Trinidad at the time). It is more likely that this certificate was ordered for him just prior to his departure from Trinidad than it is that he was unbaptized until he was 10 years old. MARRIAGE: Full date of 11 July 1838 given in the civil records for 1838 of Fort Royal (now known as Fort-de-France), Martinique, No. 352, pages 94r-95r (images 95-96) available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=MARTINIQUE&commune=FORT%20ROYAL&annee=1838.

Parents identified as Antoine Clarac and Marie Adelaide Sellier. It seems odd that he has the same birth day and month as his brother, but the 1841 marriage record states that this date was on a birth record provided by Fran?ois Etienne Clarac. - Consistent with age (71 years) given in his July 1890 death record in the civil records for 1890 of Fort-de-France, Martinique, No. 693, page 183v (image 182) available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=MARTINIQUE&commune=FORT-DE-FRANCE&annee=1890.

In the marginal notation for the record, Paul's name is mistakenly used. OCCUPATION: No profession (1841 marriage record) Owner [Fr.: proprietaire] (1890 death record) ADDRESS: Fort Royal (now Fort-de-France), Martinique (1841 marriage record) Fort-de-France, Martinique (1890 death record) DEATH: Full date of 4 July 1890 given in his death record in the civil records for 1890 of Fort-de-France, Martinique, No. 693, page 183v (image 182) available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=MARTINIQUEune=FORT-DE-FRANCE&annee=1890.

Record available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=GUADELOUPE&commune=ANSE-BERTRAND&annee=1746. - Year of birth would be 1746-1747, according to age (72 years) at her death in October 1819, according to the death record for Marie Anne (n?e Sellier) Desbonnes Belasse, in the records of Marigot, 1821, page 4, left side, first entry.

|
| 117 | BIRTH: - Given that there is a record of Fran?ois Clainville Sellier purchasing land in 1851, he must have been of age at that point, so he must have been born prior to 1830.

The latter is adopted as it is the spelling that appears on his tombstone in Lapeyrouse Cemetery, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.

|
| 123 | BIRTH: - Listed as a daughter of Pierre Fabien Sellier based on an 1816 slave register listing a personal slave for Charlotte E. Sellier. She is described as residing in the Quarter of St. Joseph (where Fabien Sellier lived) and he acted as her attorney in submitting the register return. If it is assumed that one had to be 21 years of age in order to own an enslaved person (and the fact that her Fabien Sellier is described as her attorney and not as her guardian may suggest that that she was not a minor), then this would indicate a year of birth on or before 1795. - Identified as the same person as "Mrs. Widow Langlois" in a slave register return for 1825 for the L'Hermitage Estate in the Quarter of Guanapo, submitted by "her Father and Agent Peter F. Sellier, Esqr." One of the enslaved women in the return is Marie Sainte Laodisse, the same enslaved personal servant (under the name of Marie Sainte Laodice) listed as property of Charlotte E. Sellier in her slave register return of 1813. - Subsequent slave register returns show that she married again to John McKay and was known as Elizabeth McKay. LAND HOLDINGS: - Was the owner (along with the "succession of Paul Langlois"--presumably minor children of their marriage) of L'Hermitage Estate, a cocoa plantation in the Quarter of Guanapo, Trinidad, according to 1825 Plantation Slave Register. L'Hermitage was listed as a new plantation name in the 1825 Plantation Slaves Register, but it might have simply been a renaming of Maturine Estate, which was owned by Paul Langlois in the 1822 Plantation Slaves Register. In 1834, L'Hermitage Estate is renamed "Mathurine." This record is in The National Archives of the UK (TNA), T 71/519, page 175v, "L'Hermitage," image available in "Former British Colonial Dependencies, Slave Registers, 1813-1834," Trinidad, "1825, Plantation Slaves," image 179, on Ancestry at https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1129/images/CSUK1812_133754-00178. - Her second husband (John McKay) is listed as the owner of L'Hermitage in 1828 and she is listed as the owner (but with no mention of the succession of Paul Langlois) in 1831 and 1834. The latter may mean that her children of her first marriage had died. The lack of any mention of John McKay may mean that he had died, as well. - In 1834, a Plantation Slaves Register return for Mathurine Estate, "late L'Hermitage," was filed by on Elizabeth McKay's behalf by Charles Alexander Colomie, Elizabeth's brother-in-law. Elizabeth McKay is listed as the owner of the plantation and in possession of it. It appeasr that the name of the estate was changed between 1831 and 1834. The lack of any mention of Elizabeth's husband, and the fact that the return was made by her brother-in-law appears to confirm that John McKay had died. The record of the 1831 return in the "corrections" part of the 1834 Plantation Slaves Register notes the sale of one of the enslaved workers. - Listed as a co-owner of "La Marguerite" Estate in St. Joseph, formerly known as "Marguerite" but listed as a new plantation name in the list of such names in the 1834, Plantation Slaves Register. This record is in The National Archives of the UK (TNA), T 71/519, page 165v, "La Marguerite," image available in "Former British Colonial Dependencies, Slave Registers, 1813-1834," Trinidad, "1834, Plantation Slaves," image 170, on Ancestry at https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1129/images/CSUK1812_133759-00169. - On 25 November 1857, sold 30 quar?es of land (96 acres) in the Quarter of Guanapo to Jos? Antonio Montenegro and 10 quare?es of land (32 acres) to David Park. This might have been the disposition of Mathurine (formerly known as L'Hermitage) Estate. This transaction is recorded in "Selected Trinidad Land Transactions -- From 1810 to the Early 1860s," page 117, available on this website at this link. DEATH: Since she was alive at the time of a land transaction in November 1857, she must have died after that time. OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS: The 1825 and 1828 slave registers make reference to her being the representative of a succession of interest of Paul Langlois, so there may have been minor children of this marriage. | SELLIER, Charlotte Elizabeth (I10334)
|
| 124 | BIRTH: - Month and year of birth would be July 1785, according to age (1 month) given in her August 1785 baptismal record in the records of Marigot, Saint-Martin, 1785, page 3, right side, first 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=1785. - Consistent with age (70 years) given in the 20 September 1855 death record for Marie Adelaide Faucour Sellier, widow of Francois Antoine Charles Du Born de la Palme. Place of birth given as "Saint-Martin (Antilles)" and parents named as Fran?ois Faucour Sellier and Adelaide Sellier. Record available in the Archives municipales de Nantes - Etat civil - Nantes (6th Canton) - D?c?s 1855 (1E 984) image 48. CHRISTENING: Full date given as 18 August 1785 in her baptismal record in the records of Marigot, Saint-Martin, 1785, page 3, right side, first entry. Witnesses--Parents named as Fran?ois Desbonne Belasse and Marie Fran?oise Desbonnes veuve Sellier (i.he wife of Pierre Sellier). Record available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=SAINT-MARTIN&commune=MARIGOT&annee=1785. ADDRESS: 6 Place Saint Louis, No. 2, Nantes, France (1855 death record) DEATH: Full date of 19 September 1855 described ("hier soir") in the 20 September 1855 death record for Marie Adelaide Faucour Sellier, widow of Fran?ois Antoine Charles Du Born de la Palme. Record available in the Archives municipales de Nantest civil - Nantes (6th Canton) - D?c?s 1855 (1E 984) image 48. | SELLIER FAUCOUR (AKA FAUCOUR SELLIER), Marie Adelaide (I10293)
|
| 125 | BIRTH: - Name given as Marie Faucourt in the July 1716 baptismal record of her son Pierre, the February 1738 marriage record of her son, Honor? Sellier, and the January 1743 marriage record of her son Pierre Sellier. Name given as Marie Faucour in the August 1739 marriage record of her son Paul Sellier. - It is possible that she was born in the French colony of Saint-Christophe, which was captured by the British and renamed St. Kitts in 1690. A list of inhabitants of Saint-Christophe, dated to May-August 1690, contains the name of Paul Faucourt, in the same company as Fabien Cellier and Guy and Jean Petit. The list of inhabitants can be viewed at this link: http://www.ghcaraibe.org/docu/st-chr/1689/stx1689orig.html. A description of the document is contained in Bernadette and Philippe Rossignol, "Le Role General des Habitants de Saint-Christophe: 1690?", G?n?alogie et Histoire de la Cara?be Bulletin, no. 13 (February 1990), page 106, available at http://www.ghcaraibe.org/bul/ghc013/p0106.html. DEATH: - Described as deceased [Fr: defunte] in the August 1739 marriage record of her son Paul Sellier (See notes on his entry regarding why his name was mistakenly copied as Pierre in the record) and as the "late" [Fr: feue] Marie Faucourt in the January 1743 marriage record of her son, Pierre Sellier. The fact that she was not so described in the 1738 marriage record of her son Honor?, from the same locality and by the same priest as the 1743 record, may indicate that she died between February 1738 and August 1739. - The 1739 marriage record of her son described him as a resident of Anse-Bertrand parish, so this was likely her place of residence, as well. - The parish records of Anse-Bertrand, where her husband died in 1743, has a gap between 26 February 1738 and 2 December 1738. If she died in this period, a record of her burial would not have been kept. There is no burial record for her in Anse-Bertrand from 2 December 1738 to August 1739. | FAUCOUR, Marie (I10251)
|
| 126 | BIRTH: - Parents identified as Pierre Sellier and Marie Faucour (deceased) in his 1739 marriage record to Marie Therese Darcy in the records of Anse-Bertrand, Guadeloupe, 1739, page 3, right side, second full entry. Place of birth given as Saint-Pierre, Martinique. In this record he is named as Pierre Sellier, which may be a clerical error (as these records are a copy of another document) or it may be that Pierre was a middle name. The former seems more likely. Record available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=GUADELOUPE&commune=ANSE-BERTRAND&annee=1739. NAMES: While, in what appears to be a clerical error in copying a record, he is identified as Pierre Sellier in his 1739 marriage record, the baptismal records of his three children all list him as Paul Sellier. MARRIAGE: - Wife identified as Marie Therese Darcy in his marriage record and date given as 4 August 1739 in the records of Anse-Bertrand, Guadeloupe, 1739, page 3, right side, second full entry. Married in the Sainte-Rose chapel of the parish. Record available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=GUADELOUPE&commune=ANSE-BERTRAND&annee=1739. DEATH: - Wife (Marie Therese Darcy) remarried on 7 October 1749 and was described in the marriage record as the widow of Paul Sellier, so he must have died before this date. Their last child was born in July 1748, and he was described as a "habitant" in her August 1748 baptismal record, so his death must have been between August 1748 and October 1749. There is no death record for him in the records of Anse-Bertrand. These records are a copy, however, so perhaps his entry was missed in the copying process, or perhaps he died elsewhere on Guadeloupe. | SELLIER, Paul (I10240)

|
| 128 | BIRTH: - Parents named as Honor? Sellier and Genevieve Elisabeth Desbonne in his 1782 marriage record, available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=SAINT-MARTIN&commune=MARIGOT&annee=1782&typeacte=AC_MA. - Since he was of age to marry in 1782, he must have been born before 1762. - If he was born before 1762, then he would have been born in Carriacou, Grenada, where his father was listed as a landowner in 1763. MARRIAGE: - Wife identified as Adhelaide Sellier, full date given as 20 August 1782, and location given as Marigot, St. Martin, French West Indies in marriage record available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=SAINT-MARTIN&commune=MARIGOT&annee=1782&typeacte=AC_MA. - The marriage record mentions a dispensation due to the degree of affinity and consanguinity (but the degree is not specified). Francois and Adhelaide were first cousins, so a dispensation would be required. NAMES: - Identified as Francois Sellier Foucour in his marriage record. His father-in-law (and uncle) is identified in the same marriage record as Pierre Sellier Sellier. This latter is understandable, as Pierre's father was also named Pierre Sellier. - Consistently signed his last name Sellier Faucour.

LAND OWNERSHIP: - According to documents found by Patricia Wight, he was listed (under the name Faucour Sellier) as the Actual Proprietor of a Spanish Land Grant of 60 quar?es (192 acres) in Aricagua Quarter initially surveyed in 1788 and then granted by Governor Chacon to John Nugent on 7 February 1793. Of this land, 34 quar?es (109 acres) were in sugar cane, provisions (i.e., food), and pasture. - Listed as the owner of Champ Fleurs Estate in the Quarter of Aricagua in a 1813 Plantation Slave Register return enumerating 87 enslaved workers. Name given in this record was Fran?ois Sellier Foucoud. This document is at The National Archives of the UK (TNA), T 71/501, folio 1, "The Return of Francois Sellier Faucoud [sic] for the Plantation called Champ Fleurs in the Quarter of Aricagua," image available in "Former British Colonial Dependencies, Slave Registers, 1813-1834," Trinidad, "1813, Plantation Slaves," image 17, on Ancestry at https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1129/images/CSUK1812_133743-00016. - The Champ Fleurs estate in the Quarter of Aricagua was described as being "late the property of F.S. Faucour" in its Triennial Plantation Slave Register return dated 21 January 1819. This document is at TNA, T 71/508, folio 1142, "The Triennial Return of F. H. Sellier Faucour for the Plantation called Champ Fleurs in the Quarter Called Aricagua," image available in "Former British Colonial Dependencies, Slave Registers, 1813-1834," Trinidad, "1819, Plantation Slaves," image 207, on Ancestry at https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1129/images/CSUK1812_133749-00206. DEATH: - Appears to have died before 21 January 1819, given that the Champs-Fleur estate was listed as being co-owned by Fabien T. Sellier and F.H. Sellier Foucour, and being "late the property of F.S. Faucour," in a triennial slave register dated 21 January 1819. This document is at TNA, T 71/508, folio 1142, "The Triennial Return of F. H. Sellier Faucour for the Plantation called Champ Fleurs in the Quarter Called Aricagua," image available in "Former British Colonial Dependencies, Slave Registers, 1813-1834," Trinidad, "1819, Plantation Slaves," image 207, on Ancestry at https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1129/images/CSUK1812_133749-00206. - Certainly died before 25 September 1824, the date of the sale of Champs-Fleurs estate (consisting of 69 and 18/19 quarr?s in Aricagua Quarter) by the "Heirs of the late Faucour" to Etienne Blanc, who then immediately sold back about one-quarter of the estate (26 and 13/18 quarr?s) to Terville Sellier and his wife. This might indicate that he had four heirs. | SELLIER FAUCOUR, François (I10238)
|
| 129 | BIRTH: - Parents named as Pierre Sellier and Marie Faucour in her 1742 marriage record to Philippe Alexandre Desbonnes. - Given that there is no mention of her being a minor in her marriage record, she was likely over 21, and therefore born before 1721. DEATH: Her husband, Philippe Alexandre Desbonnes, was described as the widower [Fr: veuf] of Margueritte Sellier in his 31 March 1761 marriage record to Marie Fran?oise Helene Fletcher, so she must have died sometime between the March 1757 birthr youngest child and this date. | SELLIER, Margueritte (I10252)
|
| 130 | BIRTH: - Parents named as Pierre Sellier and Marie Francoise Desbonnes in the 1776 marriage record of Marie Emilie Sellier to Daniel Desbonne in the records of Marigot, Saint-Martin, 1776, page 1, first entry. Place of birth given as the island of Cariacou. Record available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=SAINT-MARTIN&commune=MARIGOT&annee=1776. - Year of birth would be after 1760, as she was characterized as a minor in her 1781 marriage record to Jean-Baptiste Duplessis in the records of Marigot, Saint-Martin. Place of birth given as Cariacou. Parents named in this record as Pierre Sellier and Marie Francoise Desbonnes. Record available on first page of file that displays at this link: http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=SAINT-MARTIN&commune=MARIGOT&annee=1782. | SELLIER, Marie Emilie (I10282)
|
| 131 | BIRTH: - Place of birth given as Albany, New York, in her husband's 1926 Declaration of Intent to become a U.S. Citizen. - Year of birth would be 1900-1901, according to age (29 years) in 1930 U.S. Census for New York, Brooklyn, E.D. 24-1302, Sheet 15B, Line 95. State of birth given as New York. Enumerated as Florence Sellier, with husband Carl Sellier and son Bertram. - Roughly consistent with age (40 years) in 1940 U.S. Census for New York, Brooklyn, E.D. 24-1354A, Sheet 9A, Line 30. State of birth given as New York. Enumerated as Florence Sellier, described as divorced, with her son Bertrand Sellier. ADDRESS: 448 Eighth Street, Brooklyn, New York (1940 U.S Census) | ROSENTHAL, Florence (I10387)
|
| 132 | BIRTH: - Tentatively assigned as a son of this marriage, based on his appearing with Antoine Sellier as a witness for various records in Marigot, Saint-Martin, in the early 1780s, including the burial record of Benoit Sellier. - Consistent with his identification as the uncle of Fran?ois Sylvain Sellier Faucour in Fran?ois's 1788 burial record (although he could be either the paternal or maternal uncle). | SELLIER BEAUSEJOUR, Philippe (I10294)
|
| 133 | BIRTH: - Unsourced information conveyed by John D. Sellier to F. Anthony (Bolo) Krogh in the was that her name was Elizabeth Jeanne Faucour Sellier. - Consistent with the naming of his children seen in two land sales from 1849-1850. The oldest child (assuming the names are given in order of age) is Jeanne Adelaide (corresponding to the name of Francois's mother). The second daughter is Jeanne Elizabeth, who might have been named after his wife. - Pending further research, the name Elizabeth is tentatively assigned to this first spouse. DEATH: In the Census of 1851, the oldest member of the "Sellier Faucourt" family in the Ward of Aricagua is from 40-49 years in age, and the next age range (30-39 years) has two persons in it. It seems unlikely that the first person is the mothere second two persons, yet the description of the marital status of the persons in the family (only one married person, hence a widow or widower) makes it clear that Jeanne Suzanne Ach? is being enumerated. There are also four children under the age of ten. This configuration strongly suggests two marriages and two sets of children. If that is the case, given that Francois was not alive in August 1849, his first wife must have died no later than 1845, and perhaps earlier than 1840. | [Elizabeth] (I10346)
|
| 134 | BIRTH: - Year of birth given as about 1770 in research of Monique Clarac posted by Daniel Larcier to his genealogical website at http://daniel.larcier.free.fr/famille/gatt1/clarac2.html. - Place of birth given by Monique Clarac as Nay, Pyr?n?es-Atlantiques, France (formerly known as Basses-Pyr?n?es), but Daniel Larcier noted that he did not find the birth record in Nay records from 1769-1772. MARRIAGE: - Wife identified as Marie Adelaide "Isabelle" Sellier in research of Monique Clarac posted by Daniel Larcier to his genealogical website at http://daniel.larcier.free.fr/famille/gatt1/clarac2.html. No date or location of marriage given. - Given that Marie Adelaide Philipe Sellier filed a return for the 1813 Plantation Slaves Register in Trinidad on 27 March 1813, under her maiden name, and given that her first child with Antoine Clarac was born in May 1814, her marriage to him likely took place sometime between March and August 1813 in Trinidad. LAND HOLDINGS AND ENSLAVED WORKERS: - In the 1816 Plantation Slaves Register for Trinidad, Antoine Clarac was identified as the owner of the St. Margarett Estate, "late the property of Marie Adelaide Philipe Sellier," with 17 enslaved workers, all listed in the 1813 Plantation Slaves Register return of Marie Adelaide Philipe Sellier. This would indicate that he became the owner of St. Margarett Estate by virtue of having married Marie Adelaide. The plantation was still a cotton plantation. - In the 1819 Plantation Slaves Register for Trinidad, Antoine Clarac was identified as a co-owner of St. Marguerett Estate with Louis Lafourcade. The estate had been converted from a cotton plantation to a sugar plantation, and the number of enslaved workers jumped from 12 to 25 (not surprising, since sugar plantations were more labor-intensive). At the same time, four of the enslaved workers in the 1816 Plantation Slaves Register return for Clarac had been transferred to a new 1819 Personal Slaves Register return, which showed Clarac as the sole owner of these enslaved servants. The picture that is suggested by these changes is that St. Margarett estate was not doing well as a cotton plantation, and Antoine Clarac sold a half-interest in the plantation to Louis Lafourcade to raise the capital needed to convert the plantation to sugar production. Jean Baptiste Bertrand was resident in Port of Spain (as noted on the 1819 Personal Slaves Register return), where the returns had to be filed, and Mayaro was quite distant, so that is probably why Bertrand's name is on these returns. - The co-ownership of St. Margarett Estate with Louis Lafourcade continued through the 1822 and 1825 returns of the Triennial Plantation Slaves Register for Trinidad, both of which were filed in late January of their respective years. - The ownership of St. Margarett Estate changed between January 1825 and January 1828. By the date on which the 1828 Plantation Slaves Register return was filed for St. Margarett (16 January 1828), Antoine Clarac had died and the estate was owned only by Louis Lafourcade. He was apparently not resident on the estate, though, as it was in the possession of a person acting in his stead, Francois Mathieu. - By January 1831, Louis Lafourcade sold to the estate to Fran?ois Mathieu, who was listed as the owner in his own right of St. Margarett estate in its 1831 Plantation Slaves Register Return. Fran?ois Mathieu continued to be listed as its owner in the final Plantation Slaves Register return in January 1834, purchasing additional enslaved workers from 1831 to 1834. He ultimately received ?3028 7s 10d in compensation from the British government when his enslaved workers on St. Margarett were emancipated in August 1834, as shown in "Trinidad 1559 (Ste Margaret)", Legacies of British Slave-ownership database, http://wwwdepts-live.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/claim/view/28603 [accessed 31st January 2021]. DEATH: - Year of death given as 1824 in the 20 September 1841 marriage record of Fran?ois Etienne Clarac to Marguerite Jaham Desrivaux in the civil records for 1841 of Fort Royal (now known as Fort-de-France), Martinique, No. 450, pages 165r-166v (images 164-166) available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=MARTINIQUE&commune=FORT%20ROYAL&annee=1841. - Year of death more likely to be 1825, given that he filed two Slave Register returns in Trinidad on 27 January 1825, one for the enslaved plantation workers he co-owned with Louis Lafourcade and one for his enslaved personal servants. - Death before 1828 consistent with the fact that Antoine Clarac was listed as a co-owner of St. Margarett estate in Mayaro in 1825, but not 1828. | CLARAC, Antoine (I10462)

He was confirmed in his ownership of this land by a land grant from the Governor of the French Windward Islands on 4 December 1754, which noted that he had come to Carriacou because his prior land in Guadeloupe was no longer productive, and that his brothers and brother-in-law were also resident in Carriacou.

|
| 139 | BIRTH: - Year of birth would be 1784-1785, according to age (72 years) in his November 1857 burial record in the records of St. Joseph RC Church, St. Joseph, Trinidad and Tobago. Native of Trinidad, according to this record. - Since he owned an enslaved servant in 1813, if it is assumed that one had to be 21 years of age in order to own an enslaved person, then this would indicate a year of birth on or before 1792 (which would be consistent with the above record). - Since he is listed as having been commissioned a Captain in the local Trinidad Militia on 24 January 1815 (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 24 January 1800.

MILITARY: - Captain in the Loyal Trinidad Light Infantry Battalion, Second Division, Trinidad Militia, with a commissioning date of 24 January 1815 [Source: The Trinidad Almanac for the Year of Our Lord, 1827 (Port of Spain, Trinidad: J. Holman & Co., 1827), page 36]. LAND HOLDINGS: - Owned Desert Estate (also called Le Desert Estate) in Santa Cruz, a cocoa plantation, beginning with the 1819 Plantation Slaves Register. This was listed as a new plantation in the 1819 Register. The record of it on the list of new plantations is in The National Archives of the UK (TNA), T 71/508, page 177r, "Desert," image available in "Former British Colonial Dependencies, Slave Registers, 1813-1834," Trinidad, "1819, Plantation Slaves," image 181, on Ancestry at https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1129/images/CSUK1812_133749-00180. Given the small number of slaves involved, it seems as if it was a relatively small estate. - Jean Baptiste Sellier kept the Desert estate in his personal ownership as he proceeded to act as the manager of other plantations owned by relatives: >La Sagesse Estate in Santa Cruz (a cocoa plantation owned by Celestin Dancla, a relative of his wife) for which he was listed as being in possession as an attorney in the 1825 Plantation Slaves Register (but not in the 1822 or 1828 Registers, so it seems that his role here was temporary); and >La Marguerite Estate in St. Joseph (a sugar plantation) which Jean Baptiste managed after the death of his father in 1831. - Listed as a co-owner of "La Marguerite" Estate in St. Joseph, formerly known as "Marguerite" but listed as a new plantation name in the list of such names in the 1834, Plantation Slaves Register. This record is in TNA, T 71/519, page 165v, "La Marguerite," image available in "Former British Colonial Dependencies, Slave Registers, 1813-1834," Trinidad, "1834, Plantation Slaves," image 170, on Ancestry at https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1129/images/CSUK1812_133759-00169. - Received compensation in 1836 for the emancipation of enslaved workers on two estates (see below), so was still owner of both at that time. - Listed as the owner of La Marguerite Estate in St. Joseph in the 1851 Census of Trinidad. SLAVE COMPENSATION: Was awarded compensation by the British Government after the emancipation of slaves on two of his estates. - Was awarded ?130 11s 5d on 13 June 1836 as compensation for 3 enslaved persons. The name of the estate involved is not in the University College London database, but was probably Le Desert Estate (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/claim/view/28356) - Was awarded ?2073 16s 11d on 13 June 1836 as compensation for 42 enslaved persons on La Marguerite Estate (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/claim/view/28361) DEATH: Date of death would be on or just before his date of burial of 4 November 1857 in his burial record in the records of St. Joseph RC Church, St. Joseph, Trinidad and Tobago. BURIAL: Full date given as 4 November 1857 in his 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 Steph's Cemetery near the junction of King Street and Eastern Main Road, and not the smaller cemetery adjoining the church itself. | SELLIER, Jean Baptiste (I10317)
|
| 140 | BIRTH: - Year of birth would be 1796-1797, according to his age (34 years) in his February 1831 burial record in the records of St. Joseph RC Church, St. Joseph, Trinidad and Tobago, a copy of which is in the possession of Patricia Wight. The place of birth given in this record is Trinidad. Since the record with Alexandre's age is so early in 1831, it is more probable that he was born in 1796. - Four pieces of evidence point to his father being Pierre Fabien Sellier of St. Joseph. > His earliest record is a 1825 slave register in which he owns two enslaved servants. This record is similar to the earliest slave registers for Jean Baptiste Sellier and Charlotte E. Sellier, both resident at the time of their first slave register returns in the Quarter of St. Joseph (where Pierre Fabien Sellier owned the Marguerite Estate, a large sugar plantation with numerous enslaved workers). If it is assumed that one had to be 21 years of age in order to own an enslaved person, then this would indicate a year of birth on or before 1804. > In 1827, Fabien Sellier was listed as the Commandant of the Quarter of St. Joseph, and Alex[ande]r Sellier was listed as the Adjoint Commandant. This would be consistent with a father-son relationship. [Source: The Trinidad Almanac for the Year of our Lord, 1827 (Port of Spain: J. Holman & Co., 1827), page 26.] > His 1831 burial record in the records of St. Joseph RC Church states that he was buried in the cemetery of Fabien Sellier (presumably at La Marguerite Estate). > His name, Alexandre, was also the name of the father of Marie Fran?oise (n?e Desbonnes) Sellier, the wife of Pierre Fabien Sellier. - 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). This means he would have had to have been born before 16 July 1801, which is consistent with the birth year estimated from his 1831 death record.

Holman & Co., 1827), page 36.] DEATH: - Date of death would have been on or just before the burial date of 11 February 1831 given in his burial record in the records of St. Joseph RC Church, St. Joseph, Trinidad and Tobago, a copy of which is in the possession of Patricia Wight. - This date of death is consistent with other evidence of his death from land and slave records in 1834: > He is not listed as a co-owner of Marguerite Estate in the 1834 slave register return for the estate, which names three other siblings as co-owners. > Both of the enslaved servants listed in his 1825 slave register return (Jenny and Pierre Sanderson) and one of the servants from his 1828 return (Dieudonn? Malbrook) are listed in the 1834 slave register return for the estate, showing that they had passed from his possession to that of his siblings. BURIAL: Full date given as 11 February 1831 in his burial record in the records of St. Joseph RC Church, St. Joseph, Trinidad and Tobago, a copy of which is in the possession of Patricia Wight. The record states that he was buried "en el cimentee Mr Fabien Sellier," which likely means that he was buried in a cemetery on La Marguerite Estate. | SELLIER, Alexandre (I10321)

| 141 | BIRTH: - Year of birth would be 1841-1842, according to age (88 years) in entry for "Mrs. Luce Anne Sellier, 88" in Obituary section of Trinidad Year Book for 1931, page xliii. - Full date of 6 January 1842 in unsourced family history information on ancestry.com. - Unsourced information gives her place of birth as Paris, France, but she is not listed in the birth records in the Archives of Paris for that period, and her family seems to be already resident in the Aripo Quarter of Trinidad, so this information is not supported. NAMES: Referred to as Am?lie Louis Joliclerc in the 1863 baptismal record of her son, Charles St. Ives Sellier. LAND HOLDINGS: Listed as the proprietor of Candelaria cocoa estate (as "L.A. Sellier") in Arima Ward Union in the following Trinidad Year Books: - James H. Collens, The Trinidad and Tobago Year Book, 1911 (Port of Spain: Government Printing Office, 1911), page 226. - C.B. Franklin, Trinidad & Tobago Year Book, 1919 (Port of Spain: Franklin's Electric Printery, 1919), page 138. - C.B. Franklin, Trinidad & Tobago Year Book, 1923 (Port of Spain: Franklin's Electric Printery, 1923), page 176. POTENTIAL FAMILY MEMBERS: - In the Trinidad Slave Registers, there are returns in the Personal Slaves Registers for 1828 (Folio 2568), 1831 (Folio 2896), and 1834 (Folio 3349) for Marianne Rigaud Joliclerc, submitted by her husband Constant Joliclerc, of her personal slaves. The first such return mentions that she was formerly Marianne Rigaud Girod, and in 1825, her return (Folio 2178) was in the name of Marianne Rigaud Veuve Girod. - In the St. Joseph's RC Church Graveyard in St. Joseph, there is a grave for St. Yves Joliclerc, born 21 May 1827, died 8 May 1867. - St. Yves Joliclerc served as the godfather for her first son, on 9 February 1863. - In Edward Fairfield, The Colonial Office List for 1881 (London: Harrson, 1881), p. 254, the French Vice-Consul in Trinidad was M. Joliclerc, who had been approved in that position by Queen Victoria on 5 February 1866. - The proprietor of San Jean Baptist cacao plantation in Arima Ward Union in 1882 is given as A. Joliclerc, in R.J. Lechmere Guppy (ed.), "Trinidad Official and Commercial Register and Almanack for the Year of Our Lord 1882" (London: Tr?bner & Co., 1882), page 105. In the 1888 edition of this book, neither San Jean Baptist or Joliclerc are mentioned, and there appears to have been a restructuring of some of the other cacao estates. DEATH: Full date of 14 October 1930 given for "Mrs. Luce Anne Sellier, 88" in Obituary section of Trinidad Year Book for 1931, page xliii. PROBATE: Will for Luce Ann Sellier in the Trinidad Will Books for 1931, No. 92. | JOLICLERC, Luce Anne (I6382)

| 142 | BIRTH: - Year of birth would be about 1756, according to age (about 30 years) in May 1786 burial record in the records of Marigot, Saint-Martin, 1786, page 2, left side, first full entry. Parents named as Pierre Sellier and Marie Fran?oise Desbonnes. Record available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=SAINT-MARTIN&commune=MARIGOT&annee=1786. - Appears as the witness in two church records involving other children of Pierre Sellier and Marie Francoise Desbonnes--the burial of Daniel Desbonnes (the first husband of Marie ?melie Sellier) and the second marriage of Marie ?melie Sellier. Consistent with him being their brother. DEATH AND BURIAL: Full date of death likely on or just before his date of burial of 3 May 1786 in the records of Marigot, Saint-Martin, 1786, page 2, left side, first full entry. Witnesses to the record include Antoine Sellier and Philippe Sellier Beaus?jourord available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=SAINT-MARTIN&commune=MARIGOT&annee=1786. | SELLIER, Benoit (I10292)
|
| 143 | BIRTH: - Year of birth would be around 1673, according to age (around 70 years) given in his 1743 burial record in the records of Anse-Bertrand, Guadeloupe, 1743, page 1, right side, final entry. Place of birth given (in French) as St. Christophe. Record available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=GUADELOUPE&commune=ANSE-BERTRAND&annee=1743. - St. Christophe is known today as St. Kitts and is part of the Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis. Its French population was expelled by the British in 1690 and French claims to the island were definitively lost to the British in the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. HISTORY ON ST. KITTS: - Unsourced information from the internet indicates that a Fabien Sellier, married to a Marguerite Petit, lived in St. Kitts while it was a French colony (under the name Saint-Christophe) and they were listed, without children, in a census in 1671, living in la Grande Saline (http://www.ghcaraibe.org/bul/ghc078/p1528.html). The census list from 1671 has been published in Bernadette Rossignol and Philippe Rossignol, Recensement de l'Ile de Saint-Christophe, ann?e 1671: liste des personnes figurant dans le terrier (Paris: Centre de G?n?alogie et d'histoire des Isles d'Amerique, 1987). WorldCat gives two locations for this book, one in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City and the other in the Biblioth?que nationale de France in Paris. An online digest of names in the book, prepared by the Rossignols and available at http://www.ghcaraibe.org/docu/st-chr/1671ter/rech.html, however does not list any Selliers, nor any person with a first name of Fabien. It has a single mention of a Petit with no first name. The sourcing of this information regarding the 1671 census, therefore, requires additional research. - A separate (but undated) census list of the inhabitants of Saint-Christophe, dated by Bernadette and Phillipe Rossignol to May-August 1690 (by comparison to other documents from Saint-Christophe) lists a "Fabien Cellier" as an unarmed member of the "Compagnie du sieur de Laguarigue." This company list contained 31 armed residents and 111 unarmed residents (probably the names of heads of households) in total. Also listed as unarmed members of this company are Guy Petit, Jean Petit, and Paul Faucourt. This dating would put the census just before the British capture of the island the the expulsion of its French residents. The dating of the 1690 census document is described in a brief article, Bernadette and Philippe Rossignol, "Le Role General des Habitants de Saint-Christophe: 1690?", G?n?alogie et Histoire de la Cara?be Bulletin, no. 13 (February 1990), page 106, available at http://www.ghcaraibe.org/bul/ghc013/p0106.html. The listing of inhabitants in the original order of the census can be found at http://www.ghcaraibe.org/docu/st-chr/1689/stx1689orig.html. MARRIAGE: - Wife named as Marie Faucourt in the 1738 marriage record of their son, Honor? Sellier, and the January 1743 marriage record of their son Pierre Sellier. Name given as Marie Faucour in the August 1739 marriage record of their son Paul Sellier, but this is a copy of an original record, as opposed to the 1738 and 1743 records, which are originals. ADDRESSES: Saint-Fran?ois, Guadeloupe (1721 baptismal record of daughter, Marie) DEATH AND BURIAL: Death date would be on or just before his burial date of 9 March 1743 given in his burial record in the parish records of Anse-Bertrand, Guadeloupe, 1743, page 1, right side, final entry. Record available at http://anom.archivesnationales.re.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=GUADELOUPE&commune=ANSE-BERTRAND&annee=1743. | SELLIER, Pierre (I10250)

|
| 145 | BIRTH: Approximate year of birth given as 1814 based on subtracting his age from his year of death on his Death Certificate. - Assuming that he was in secondary school in the 1825-1827 time period (see below), his year of birth might have been in the early 1810s. STUDENT IN FRANCE: The name of Charles Sellier, born in Trinidad ("né à la Trinité espagnole"), appears on the lists of students receiving academic awards [Fr: palmistes] in 1825-1827 at the Collège Royal de Louis-le-Grand, a prestigious secondary school located in Paris that was founded in 1563. An account of this list can be found in A. Vendryes, "Americains ? Louis-le-Grand," Généalogie et Histoire de la Caraïbe Bulletin, no. 12 (January 1990), page 95, available at http://www.ghcaraibe.org/bul/ghc012/p0095.html.
