August Lavisson

I represent August Lavisson, the son of Euphrasie Suchet Lavisson. My mother incurred a debt of 100 piastres to Henry Michelet for the cost of her passage from Havana to Pensacola in September 1820. In the document that secures the debt, she recalled that she arrived with two children and a female servant. According to the 1830 census, there were two boys old enough to have arrived with my mother in 1820, and we would have been between infancy and 10 years old in 1821. In 1845 I appear on a deed with my mother, and we are both living in Mobile. 1860s census records indicate I was in New Orleans, and after that I may have been in Mississippi. Information on my life and that of my family has proven difficult to find.
