nov 22, 1802 - Owns Plantaions; Haiti: Port-au-Prince, Cul-de-Sac, Grands-Bois, Arcahaye

Description:

According to a sequestration lifting document 22 nov 1802, we know that the Le Senechal de Kercado family(ies) owned in Saint-Domingue a house in Port-au-Prince, half of a sugar plantation (habitation Kercado) at Cul-de-Sac, 7/36 of a sugar plantation (habitation Noailles) at Cul-de-Sac, half of a cofee plantation at Grands-Bois, and 1/8 of 2 sugar plantations at Arcahaye.

We can read in Mémoires pour servir à l'histoire de la révolution de Saint-Domingue (Paris, 1819) "From the beginning of the action, detachments were sent to the homes of wealthier owners, forcing them to take part in combat. Her young husband, wealthy heir who was to embark the next day with his wife to the United States, was snatched from his home, and was the first fire in a fatal injury."

Actually the one who was "assassinated", as we can read otherwise, must be one cousin since "Lawrence Kercado" came to Charleston, South Carolina, in 1791, was in 1792 in Philadelphia (he was the owner of Chalkley Hall 1792-1794)
