Signature of Grasset Latour from 9 November 1846 slave emancipation
document. Grasset Latour and several other St. Landry Parish inhabitants
certified that the slave: Celeste has at all times led a good conduct,
and we further declare that the considerations upon which the above
petition [for emancipation] is grounded are well known to us, and that
therefore, as far as it lies in our power, we support the same and pray
for this emancipation of the slaves therein described. From Fontenot,
Keith P., Southwest Louisiana Courthouse Inventory, Volume One,
(LC-9678609), 1996, p. 427-428. [Note: Grasset Latour is incorrectly
listed as Gustave Latour.]
