[7bre is an archaic style of abbreviation for the French “Septembre”. Although the way it is written in this entry it is easily mistaken as “Fvre” for “Février”, there are several others written more clearly as “7bre” on the same page. In addition, these entries are immediately following August and prior to other very clear September entries.]

Notes:

Name:
Juliette, Julie, Julitte, or Julita. Surname sometimes spelled Desborde or Déborde.


Birth:
Although not explicitly stated on the baptism certificate, it is assumed that Julitte was born in Louisiana since her parents were living there at that time.

Residence:
Luc Ollier, 42. 50, 12, 3, 20. Julie Deborde, wife, 30. Garcons: Isidore, 1. Filles: Julitte, 7; Sotye, 3. Slaves: 4.

Died:
In Julitte's probate records, the petition of Isidore and Furcy Hollier dated 30 Nov 1826 states "that Julie Desbordes widow Luc Hollier, the mother of your petitioners, lately departed this life in said Parish, where she has left her Estate". Based on this and other information in her probate, her date of death is sometime between 12 August 1824 and 30 Nov 1826, but most likely close to the 1826 date since her death would have prompted Isidore and Furcy to unseal their mother's will.
