21. Dominique3 Metoyert born about 1774. He was purchased by his father at the age of two, but it was not until the brink of his marriage that he was manumitted, on 15 January 1795, by the elder Metoyer, after Dominique "gave thanks to his master and promised to conduct himself as an honest man and in obedience to our laws."96 Four days later, Dominique was married in the parish church to the young mulatto, Marie Marguerite Le Comte, who had been born May 1780 to Marie, a Negro slave of Joseph Triche!. Several months after Marguerite's birth, she was purchased by Ambroise Le Comte and his widowed mother, and on 27 August 1794 the widow manumitted the fourteen-year-old Marguerite. Tradition related today among the descendants of Marguerite holds that "the old Ambroise Lc Comtc" always acknowledged his kinship to Marguerite and her offspring.97

Shortly after his marriage, Dominique applied to the Spanish Crown for a concession of land on Isle Brevelle. On 18 May 1796, he was issued an order of survey and settlement for a tract some two or three miles downriver from his brothers Louis and Augustin. On 15 April 1799. his la nd was officially surveyed at 904 arpen/s. Over the years, he extended his holdings considerably, and despite the fact that he sired and supported a family of seventeen children, he amassed a considerable fortune before his death. The inventory of property that remained after his older. married children had received their dowries and donations totaled $42,405. Unfortunately, a great deal of that was wasted in litigation, as his numerous offspring and his widow battled among themselves over its division .98 The children of Dominique and Marie Marguerite Le Comte Metoyer were: 55.
