Mai, slave of Pierre Allain

From http://files.usgwarchives.net/la/pointecoupee/history/family/dubroc...

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".
