As indicated, he made his home for the first three years there with Pierre David, who quite possibly had London ties."

He first appeared in 1724 tithe list in house of Pierre David. He was listed in same household 1725/1726 tithe lists, King William Parish. In 1729, he was listed as head of household and in succeeding years either headed a household or was listed with James or Joseph Brain.

He was elected to the vestry of King William Parish, June 16, 1733 and was a member of the vestry until the record book closed in 1750. The record book showed that he was present at 48 meetings. He was elected Constable in 1736.

He will was made in Cumberland County and disposed his estate to his wife Elizabeth (Chastain) LeSueur and his youngest son, Martel LeSueur, "RWS". As stipulated in David LeSueur's will, Martel was to inherit "Terre Haute" after his mother's death. Their son, Martel LeSueur sold "Terre Haute" in 1787.

David LeSueur and his "two wives," Elizabeth (Morell) and Elizabeth (Chastain) LeSueur's burial site has not been found. It is believed that it's possible they were buried some where on the grounds of "Terre Haute" and including their slaves.

Benjamin Harris purchased the LeSueur property in 1787/88 and it was then "Terri Haute" was deeded it to his relative Thomas Harris, "Rev. War Sol." and finally was transferred to Robert Harris. It's presently private owned.
