An 1819 slave sale, listed in the WBR Court, Book "E", pg. 247, states that Delphine Allain is "sold" to Martin DuBroca, "natural son of Bernard DuBroca". Delphine was shown as being the child of Pierre Allain (brother of Bernard's wife, Manette). Pierre stated that Delphine was born to him and Mai, his slave, "without benefit of marriage". This confirms Martin as being Bernard's son, probably also by a slave, in the Mobile area, "without benefit of marriage". 
The godmothers at the baptisms of Martin's and Delphine's children included Catherine Dubroca, Magdelaine Dubroca, and Celemina Dubroca; godfathers included Francois Allain and Valery Allain. At the time, it was common for siblings to stand as godparents, suggesting that the Dubroca girls may have been sisters of Martin's and the Allains may have been brothers of Delphine's.
