About Augustin Marius Claiborne Tureaud
From A More Noble Cause, A. P. Tureaud and the Struggle for Civil Rights in Louisiana, by Rachel L. Emanuel and Alexander P. Tureaud, Jr.:
Augustin Marius Tureaud, called “A.M.,” married Aurora Mather, of Belle Alliance Plantation. Together they had eight children; however, A.M. fathered several slave children. In 1843, A.M., age thirty-three, executed a contract of sale to purchase a young mulatto slave woman, Josephine Mather, and her three-year-old son, Adolphe Tureaud, from his mother-in-law. 7 Josephine was manumitted by A.M. shortly after he purchased her. Genealogical information and family documents strongly support that Adolphe Tureaud was one of A.M.’s mulatto offspring.
According to the 1870 Louisiana census, Adolphe was born in 1840 in St. James Parish; he was identified as a mulatto who lived on Bagatelle Plantation with his mother, Josephine Mather; his brothers, Henry and Edward; and his sister, Marie. All of Josephine’s children were baptized and given the surname Tureaud. Edward and Marie were probably also the progeny of A.M.; however, Henry was the son of A.M.’s younger brother, Benjamin Tureaud. Parish records, specifically Henry’s death certificate, documented Benjamin Tureaud’s paternity of Henry. No records were found to determine that any of Josephine’s children were manumitted.
