828000 sq mi or 2100000 km² of french territory on april 30 1803 at the cost of about 3 per acre 7 per ha totaling 15 million or 80 million french francs including interest america finally paid 23213568 for the louisiana territory 1 the land purchased contained all of presentday arkansas missouri iowa oklahoma kansas nebraska minnesota south of mississippi river much of north dakota nearly all of south dakota northeastern new mexico northern texas the portions of montana wyoming and colorado east of the continental divide and louisiana on both sides of the mississippi river including the city of new orleans the oklahoma panhandle and southwestern portions of kansas and louisiana were still claimed by spain at the time of the purchase in addition the purchase contained small portions of land that would eventually become part of the canadian provinces of alberta and saskatchewan the land included in the purchase comprises around 23 of the territory of the modern united states 1 the purchase was an important moment in the presidency of thomas jefferson at the time it faced domestic opposition as being possibly unconstitutional although he felt that the constitution did not contain any provisions for acquiring territory jefferson decided to purchase louisiana because he felt uneasy about france and spain having the power to block american traders access to the port of new orleans  1807   valentine dorsette richard settle on the biloxi peninsula american state papers vol 3 p 38    1810 the republic of west florida was declared independent of spain in

the mississippi coast to hoist the flag of the united states in january 1811 he found the population between the pearl river and biloxi to be about four hundred people chiefly french and creoles dr flood in his report to governor claiborne wrote proceeded to the bay of biloxi where i found mr ladnier jacques and gave him the commission justice of the peace he is a man of excellent sense but can neither read or write nor can any inhabitants of the bay of biloxi that i can hear of they are all along this beautiful coast a primitive people of mixed origin retaining the gaiety and politeness of the french blended with the abstemiousness and indolence of the indian they plant a little rice and a few roots and vegetables but depend on subsistence chiefly on game and fish i left with all these appointees copies of the laws ordinances etc but few laws will be wanted here the people are universally honest there are no crimes the father of the family or the oldest inhabitant settles all disputes a more innocent and inoffensive people may not be found they seem to desire only the simple necessities of life and to be let alone in their tranquility i am greatly impressed with the beauty and value of this coast the high sandy lands heavily timbered with pine and the lovely bays and rivers from pearl river to mobile will furnish new orleans with a rich commerce and with a delightful

descriptions of scenery in the west from the correspondent of the young men s advocate new orleans may 1832 messrs editors on the morning of the 11th i left mobile for this place our road lay through the pine woods to pascagoula and thence through lakes borgne and pontchartrain this is the great mail route to new orleans the mail is carried through daily at an annual expense of thirtyseven thousand dollars the distance is about one hundred and sixty or seventy miles the first six or seven miles of the road is pleasant after leaving spring hill we entered the pine woods and left behind us all traces of civilization there are only four or five log cabins in a distance of forty miles for the first fifteen or twenty miles the road appears to have never been worked the woods are open and wherever the road is too much cut up or where it becomes gullied by the rain it is only necessary to strike a new path sometimes a man is sent out with an axe to select the most level course and to blaze the trees between which the future road is to pass there is little soil there is however sufficient grass and weeds growing to hide the road no underbrush hides the view neither is it obstructed by the branches of the pines as you ride along you may see far into the woods on either side there is a beauty and wildness in the prospect which is at first enchanting but it becomes somewhat tedious as you see only a succession of the same objects it was a mild clear morning when we entered the forest the straggling rays of the sun which had penetrated the matted covering above were shining here and there contrasting finely with the dark surrounding shades these lights and shades were continually varying as we whirled rapidly along the driver several times for our gratification would sound his hunter s horn which was echoed far and wide after having passed over about twenty miles we came to what are termed by the spaniards lagunes these are low marshy spots and sometimes valleys with running streams the former covered and the latter skirted with a thick growth of underwood which is almost impenetrable it consists of low soft maple and of a shrub which resembles our hazel bushes called in the language of this country tight eye think it must have been the titi shrub it is at least well named for to use a homely and common expression you may as well look into a millstone as look into one of these lagunes the deer which abound run into them to hide themselves and to escape their pursuers i did not see any though i was told that frequently herds of them were seen bounding across the road at other times there are in this part of the route some inconsiderable prairies which are covered with a fine growth of grass and which have a vegetable mold of six or eight inches in depth they might be cultivated to some advantage but the land is so much more fertile up the country which can be purchased of government at the same prices that few persons are disposed to settle upon this the pine tract runs thirty or forty miles into the interior and extends along a greater part of the northern shore of the gulf of mexico the few persons who live upon it subsist chiefly by raising cattle and hogs we saw a small herd of cattle feeding upon the prairies the planters in the interior of alabama and mississippi raise large numbers of cattle one of them told me that the had several thousand of them ranging through the forest they cost nothing except a few days labor once or twice a year in collecting them together these are exciting periods several planters unite and with their slaves construct a large pen they then separate and drive indiscriminately into it all the cattle which they can find they are mounted upon small tho fleet indian ponies and can ride through the open woods with great speed in their hands they carry the cow whip which is composed of a short stalk eighteen or twenty inches in length and a lash as many feet long terminated with a strip of half tanned deer skin those who are skilled in its use throw it forward and with great precision and force and with a noise as loud as the report of a rifle the gentlemen who i mentioned above said that sometimes spent several days in the woods and encamped at night when engaged in gathering his cattle our friend r left mobile a few days after our arrival there and had been spending his time at one of the log cabins in the woods and at pascagoula a residence in the pine woods is considered healthy in the summer and they are resorted to by those who live in the cities and towns and on the low grounds the air is dry and pure and a journey to the north is saved this section of pine woods about pascagoula is becoming a place of resort for the citizens of new orleans the rev mr flint who has written a sketch of the valley of the mississippi thus closes one of his poetic effusions on leaving the pine woods they had formed a little settlement which was nightly illuminated by the blazing torches of the pitch pine they hunted in the wood and fished in the streams pascagoula is a small place upon the banks of the bay of the same name the settlement consists of less than a dozen houses these are small and neat here the steamboat comes up which runs across the lakes we went on board about dark and the next morning found ourselves near the farther shore of lake bourn borgne the land in the immediate vicinity of these lakes is low and marshy and covered with tall rank grass here and there are seen little rises of ground with clumps of trees covered with a rich and beautiful foliage farther back from the shore the land is somewhat higher and is inhabited and is said to be well timbered we had a flotilla upon lake bourn in the last war which was captured by the british after a gallant defense lakes bourn and pontchartrain are united by what the french call the rigolet which is a narrow deep steam or channel extending from one lake to the other a distance of three or four miles at the farther extremity of the rigolet near lake pontchartrain is situated fort pike it occupies a small elevation and is a neat respectable fortification garrisoned with a hundred and fifty or two hundred men it was a fine clear morning when we entered the rigolet and the brown walls and white sentry boxes of fort pike rose beautifully into view we soon saw into lake pontchartrain and about ten o clock arrived at the termination of the rail road which runs to new orleans four miles distant it runs almost the whole distance through a swamp covered with large cypress this rail road comes into the lower part of the city farther up and parallel with it runs the marigny canal which leaves the lake at the bay on st john and terminates in a basin in the suburbs of the city still farther up is the new canal of the new orleans banking and canal company which is not completed and which will cost not far from half a million dollars the trade of the lakes must be very considerable to warrant the construction of all these works an important trade is carried on through the lakes with mobile pascagoula mandeville pensacola and apalachicola the northern shores of the lakes will also furnish fuel and timber for the city this trade now employs between three and four hundred vessels of the smaller size in my next i will

joseph ralph bellman 18701952 a native of ocean springs and elizabeth missouri new bellman 18761949 crossed the atlantic in search of their bellmann  roots they spent two weeks in the northern germany cities of plon kiel schleswig and hamburg here the sisters met with german genealogists and historians who led them to their long desired dream of finding the parents and birthplace of charles fn bellman 18061868 progenitor of their bellman family in america and a pioneer settler of biloxi their very successful journey and results are to be lauded and appreciated by all who seek knowledge of our romantic but oftenelusive past the original spelling of the family name in germany which is now spelled bellman in america  felicia bellman tucker  the following is a brief description of the journey to germany by felicia b tucker and nancy b mcmillan felicia b tucker wrote it for this article  we arrived in  hamburg  and were met by my genealogical advisor kayuwe gottorf and his wife we were driven to plon where we stayed in a quaint hotel on a lake plon is the town where kayuwe gottorf lives and he was going to be the one to help us get around  germany  while we were there the next morning he and his wife picked us up at the hotel and we drove to  schleswig  where we were greeted by mr thorsten dahl the spokesman for the mayor mr thorsten dahl was elected mayor a few days after we left also dr antje wendt the doctor of history for schleswig told us all about our bellmann ancestors how they came to be in schleswig to bring musical culture to that part of  germany by playing at the theatre for the opera dr wendt took us on a tour of the old part of  schleswig  which was originally a fishing village we walked down the narrow cobblestone street to the st johannas kloster where carl gottlieb bellmann charles fn bellman s father played the organ and wrote the anthem the song of schlewigholstein with the help of a lawyer m f chimnitz they arranged for a gentleman from the great church there to play on the same organ that carl gottlieb bellmann had played the anthem that he wrote the organ had been refurbished a few years before we went there there is a statue to carl gottlieb bellmann and mr chimnitz in the park where they have a music festival every year the song they wrote was written to prompt the citizens to rebel against denmark so this part of the country could return again to germany we saw the house where carl gottlieb bellmann and his wife lived and the house where charles fn bellman our direct ancestor was born we traveled to kiel via train to do some sight seeing and were shown around by a student that i had become acquainted with through my genealogical research kiel is where charles fn bellman s brother and sister taught music and had been proprietors of a music store i could go on and on about our fascinating journey but i won t i also have some really good photographs of the organ statue etc it was a very eventful trip and so special the german people went out of their way to tell us everything they could about our bellmann family they did not know that their famous musician carl gottlieb bellmann had any descendants as his other children never had any offspring   in addition to the knowledge that felicia bellman tucker and nancy bellman mcmillan have provided for bellman family genealogists the author would be severely remiss for not lauding the exhaustive research and publications of nap l cassibry ii 19182002 cassibry s magnus opus  the ladner odyssey    1988 and  early land settlers and land grants at

had settled at biloxi in the early 19th century and in july 1822 he acquired a large tract of land on the pass of biloxi from jeanbaptiste carco d 1823 the son of nicolas carco ii and catherine ladner carco had been awarded a land grant of ten arpents or approximately 160 acres on the biloxi peninsula from the king of spain in 1790 the carco land donation at biloxi preceded that of the ladners fayards and dorsette richard the american state papers 1994 p 38 in present day terms the carco land donation was bounded on the west by lameuse street and on the east by a line which ran north 90 feet of bellman avenue the back bay of biloxi was the northern boundary of the jeanbaptiste carco land claim cassibry ii 1986 p 1 and p 124 the jacques ryan tract on the biloxi channel opposite deer island consisted of about fortyacres it had a front on the biloxi channel of 2 and ¼ arpents or about 432 feet and ran north 3040 arpents or about 5760 feet to 7680 feet to the bay of biloxi peter

fn bellman and utilized in litigation in the harrison county mississippi chancery court it can be seen that many buildings occupied this small tract among these structures were the bellman home 1837

t7sr8w lot 4 runs from the bay of biloxi north 1320 feet and comprises approximately thirtyfour acres it includes the entire biloxi bay front from weeks bayou northwest to the mouth of the ocean

have her baby photo album showing their summer home in michigan which looked very grand if you would like i can send you some copies of the photographs i have julia was an excellent swimmer in her youth and i believe tried out for the olympic swim team she was also a physical therapist and served in the military in the pacific theater during world war ii i have letters she sent during the war she worked as a physical therapist in the chicago area for the chicago public school system at the spalding crippled children s school she received her bachelor of science from northwestern university in 1940 and her master of arts in 1942 i have her diplomas after the war she and my great aunt lived in chicago il and always had a summer home which they graciously shared with my family for wonderful get togethers after she and my aunt retired they moved to orlando florida but still kept a summer home in the midwest julia became an avid fisherwoman and won prizes in fishing contests they took me on several vacations when i was a teenager we would drive to florida so they could figure out where they wanted to retire julia told us that when she was a child her mother would take her up north to boston and new york to buy clothes for school it sounded like the family lived quite well for some time after her father died but eventually the money ran out she rarely spoke of her family and maintained some contact with nieces and nephews but really became a member of our family and was present in our lives very much loved and dearly missed when she died the date of her death that you have in your records is incorrect my aunt kept julia s ashes for 6 years before having them interned at acacia park cemetery and they put the wrong date on the plaque if i can be of any further assistance please let me know if you want the pictures would you prefer hard copy duplicates or should i just send them as attachments in an email i have also read the book about her uncle lazaro lopez who married her father s sister julia who i believe julia abbey was named after i sent the book to my sister who now lives in florida he was an amazing person too i enjoyed seeing julia s father

not meant to compete with brother jerome lepre and his cohorts or other seymour family historians but rather to complement their genealogical research with early seymour land records to define locales where the primal seymour families lived an admonition to seymour descendants although there is much genealogical information in this article i know that some of it must be incorrect this is the nature of family research one strives for perfection but it is seldom attained if i have erred in describing your seymour ancestors please forgive me other researchers known to this writer who have published

chancery court land deed records of jackson and harrison county mississippi as well as the jackson county archives directed by betty c rodgers and lois castigliola at pascagoula were invaluable to this study the genesis of the large seymour family of the mississippi gulf coast traces its ancestry from st cyr seymour 17881845 and mariejosephe ryan 17861876 the origin of the name seymour is quite obfuscated by the roman catholic church records of colonial times and later in july 1995 brother lepre published an article solution to a mystery leblancwhitemoorezamoraseymour in the mississippi coast history and genealogical society journal jerome lepre relates that the man we know today as st cyr seymour is referred to in various catholic church documents as st cyr leblanc st cyr white jose st cyr st cyr zamora jose zamora and joseph s moore the name on his tombstone in section b of the old biloxi cemetery is st cyr zamor st cyr seymour died on january 1 1845 at new orleans regardless of this ubiquitous nomenclature from leblanc to zamora the name seymour has survived in various forms such as seamore seymore and seymoure their appears to be absolute certitude that the man who was once commonly called joseph s moore the patriarch of all mississippi coastal seymours is st cyr seymour in june 1808 st cyr seymour married mariejosephe ryan the daughter of jean ryan and marie gargaret at st mary s church on chartres street in new orleans lepre 1995 their known children were edward seymour 18091868 pierre seymour 181018 jeanbaptiste seymour 18111887 lazarus seymour 18161902 narcisse

defined in the american state papers and the early land records of the chancery court of jackson county mississippi in january 1816 william crawford land commissioner for the district east of the pearl river submitted report no 234 to the 14th congress his abstract no 12 included the 174 settlers who had land claims east of the pearl river whose land claims were not derived from the french british or spanish joseph s moore st cyr seymour was one of these claimants his land claim claim no 161 was at belle fontaine fontainebleau and was settled in 1799 by himself american state papers 1994 the joseph s moore claim no 161 consisting of 640 acres in section 5 t8sr7w jackson county mississippi claim no 161 was confirmed by an act of congress in march 1819 it was surveyed in 18271828 by thomas bilbo deputy surveyor the seymour donation encompassed section 5 t8sr7w which contains 640 acres the st cyr seymour acreage was highly variable topographically the south perimeter consisted of a large estuarine marsh on the west which became the open waters of graveline lake to the east above the tidal marsh the western half of section 5 t8sr7w is a broad northwestsoutheast striking ridge which reaches a maximum elevation of 20 feet above mean sea level the culmination of this ridge in the s 2 of the nw 4 of section is the most desireable location for a settlement a small southeast meandering bayou which was alluded to as bayou derion on the 18351838 tax rolls flows into graveline lake in the se 4 of section 5 t8sr7w diagonally transects the east half of section 5 usgs

families were also land claimants near the st cyr seymour parcel higginbotham 1967 early maps depict what we know today as graveline bayou as bayou rilicax sic 1 this name had degraded to bayou pilicox by the 1920s probably due to typographical errors by the cartographers vincent rillieux 17401800 a son of francois rillieux and marie chenet is the great grandfather of edgar degas 18341917 a french painter and sculptor and friend of the french impressionist movement of the late 19th century the rillieux family left the pascagoula area for new orleans prior to 1763 higginbotham 1967 french

fontainebleau area was charles c russell his claim claim no 148 was at bayou relliaux sic east of st cyr seymour russell settled here in april 1809 his claim included 160 acres comprising the e 2 of the ne 4 and the e 2 of the se 4 of section 5 t8sr7w american state papers 1994 in september 1848 the heirs of st cyr seymour quitclaimed their rights titles claims and interests in this parcel to alfred e lewis 18121885 jxco ms land deed bk 3 pp 2830 the charles c russell claim lies for the most part on the east side of a small unnamed bayou which should fittingly be called st cyr or seymour bayou although low topographically this land is suitable for habitation the old shell landing road takes a sinuous path across the northern perimeter of the ne 4 of section 5 ae lewis had purchased the russell claim from thomas l fletcher in august 1842 jxco ms land deed bk 3 pp 2324 a federal land patent was issued on november 22 1895 to st cyr seymour his legal representatives and heirs on 480 acres in section 5 t8sr7w the heirs of charles c russell received their federal land patent on october 9 1895 on 160 acres in the e 2 of the e 2 of section 5 t8sr7w jxco ms land deed bk bk 242 pp 457459 and bk 17 p 151 the seymour name has long been linked to beef cattle their maternal ancestor jeanbaptiste baudreau 1671ca 1762 dit graveline is credited with the importation of cattle into the louisiana colony during colonial times in june 1748 pierre de rigaud marquis de vaudreuil then governor of french louisiana in a letter to jerome phelypeaux comte de maurepas minister of marine for louis xv king of france wrote the following about graveline   he has generously risked so many times for the service of his majesty first in expeditions in which he took part in canada against the iroquois where he always distinguished himself as well as in the journeys that were made there by sea to take hudson s bay and ravage the coasts of newfoundland and since he has been in louisiana in the difficult journeys he has undertaken both to manage certain indian nations for us and to suppress the insolence of several others having marched at the head of the militia of which he is the oldest captain whenever we have formed an army to fight them   graveline one of the first voyagers from canada who came here for the settlement of the colony at which he has worked steadily both by the frequent voyages which he made to france to contract and conduct people here and by the voyages he has made to vera cruz and havana in order to open commerce there and to have transported to this country the first purebred horned livestock seen here rowland et al 1984 when thomas hutchins 17301789 surveyorgeneral of the united states came to the area in 1784 he observed  there are still a few inhabitants at  biloxi  some of whom are the offspring of the original settlers their chief employment is raising cattle and stock and making pitch and tar but the natives indians are very troublesome to them hutchins 1784 hutchins had first come to the area in 1772 when he was a young lieutenant in the british navy at pensacola he was searching for an english military vessel  mercury  which went aground at free masons island in the bernard roman s hurricane of september 1772 while at biloxi hutchins   was advised that all the coastal islands had been awash during the storm cattle and hogs had been lost some said as many as three hundred from horn buck deer and  ship  island rea 1990 p 58 cattle were kept on the barrier islands to reduce their theft by the native americans possibly one of the earliest corroborations of the seymour link to cattle is the 1827 tax roll of jackson county which indicates that st cyr seymour was residing at belle fontaine and possessed 300 cattle 4 per head and 8 horses valued at 300 worth 1500 by 1856 the county tax rolls indicate that the widow seymour mariejosephe ryan and her four sons still owned over 300 cattle and seven slaves many of st cyr seymour s descendants became wellknown stockmen and butchers in towns along the mississippi coast when the children of st cyr seymour and mariejoseph ryan became of marriageable age one could speculate that the sparse population in the belle fontainefontainebleau area and the probable desire to select spouses of the roman catholic faith led their children to seek mates in other areas of the county at this time their particular environs near fontainebleau were inhabited for the most part by strongly protestant families such as those of william ramsay daniel h ramsay 18141867 and daniel webb to understand population distributions at this time one can observe the 1840 federal census for jackson county which indicates that there were only 1459 caucasians residing in over 1300 square miles with the religious factor and paucity of eligible women near their fontainebleau homestead it is easy to imagine how the first three seymour sons found mates at east biloxi now ocean springs here in the early 1800s on the eastern shore of the bay of biloxi resided the family of andre fournier ii died pre1851 and catherine bouzage 17801841 they occupied a three arpent tract on the east end of the lafontaine tract a small bayou on the eastern perimeter of the fournier land called bayou bouzage is now the main channel of the ocean springs inner harbor the present home of mrs alice t austin at 545 front beach drive probably occupies the same site as the primal fournier settlement the fourniers came to ocean springs from the bayou la batre area of coastal alabama they had a large family with many daughters gertrude f carco 18051850 andre fournier iii 18091878 emilie f bouzage ca 18111850 maria evaline foretich 18131854 louise f seymour 18151860 marie f seymour 18171890 catherine f ryan moran 18191887 delphine f llado 18191906 and adele f seymour 18231890 adkinson et al 1991 in december 1849 andre fournier iii 18091878 also acquired land at ocean springs his tract consisted of 160 acres in the sw 4 of section 19 t7sr8w this tract is east of martin avenue projected north along the range line between range 8w and range 9w to fort bayou and includes all land south of fort bayou to government street projected to the range line the eastern perimeter of the fournier parcel is a line from blount avenue north of government to fort bayou george a cox 18111887 acquired 78 acres in the western portion of the fournier tract in december 1859 here this entrepreneur from yazoo city homesteaded on the old fournier place which was probably located near the present day pfg precision optic plant at 733 bienville the road leading to his home became known as cox avenue and a family burial plot was commenced near the west boundary of the former coca cola bottling plant schmidt 1972 p 29 from the andre fournier ii family at east biloxi edward seymour married adele fournier pierre seymour married louise fournier and jeanbaptiste seymour married marie fournier the tax rolls of jackson county mississippi indicate that these seymour brothers and st cyr ii and their families continued to reside in the fontainbleau area as late as 1856 their father st cyr seymour had passed on january 1 1845 as we will see the children of st cyr seymour and mariejosephe ryan eventually moved to the western side of jackson county and into eastern harrison county with the exception of jeanbaptise seymour who settled at ocean springs with his wife marie fournier the other seymour male siblings found habitations to the north and west of fort bayou in what today we know as the st martin and latimer communities this area of western jackson county is also the primal haunts of the jean ryan family from which the seymours were maternally related the seymour girls victoria and josephine married fayard cousins narcisse fayard 18251896 and charles fayard 18221897 and settled at heavily roman catholic biloxi before leaving the original st cyr seymour settlement at fontainebleau it is important to know that as late as 1914 the children of st cyr seymour ii 18271903 were involved in litigation concerning the western 480 acres of section 5 t8sr7w in the chancery court of jackson county mississippi it is from depositions in these chancery court cases that much interesting information on the original seymour claim was revealed in what may be described as a story within a story the following is generally what transpired on the primal st cyr seymour homestead after his demise at new orleans in january 1845 we will probably never know precisely why the family of st cyr seymour abandoned their home place north of lake graveline after his demise as previously suggested the paucity of eligible life mates in the immediate area of the seymour settlement with similar religious tenets may have been a contributing factor another consideration in the seymour migration to the western end of jackson county is that between august 1852 and october 1860 no fewer than six hurricanes struck the coast of the mexican gulf the great mobile hurricane of august 1852 landed between pascagoula and mobile and was particularly devastating in the pascagoula region the year 1860 saw three storms affect the mississippi coast the august 1860 tempest passed between biloxi and pascagoula which was very near the st cyr seymour homestead the september 1860 hurricane saw sea level rise seven feet in 20 minutes inundating the village of pascagoula sullivan the third tempest hit louisiana in early october 1860 and did some damage to the west side of the mississippi coast sparing the fontainebleau area sullivan one can only imagine the effects of a tidal surge emerging swiftly through the churning waters of lake graveline over the lower elevations of the seymour plantation during one of these tropical storms how did their home large herd of cattle and other livestock and virgin forests fare during the bansheescreaming tornado winds and driving rain of these great tempests regardless of all suppositions it is known from the land deed records land rolls and tax rolls of the chancery courts of jackson and harrison counties that the six surviving heirs of st cyr seymour one daughter josephine s fayard had expired childless in february 1852 began selling their legacy at fontainebleau in the late 1860s in december 1868 the first seymour heir to sell his interest at fontainbleau was edward seymour who sold to james mulholland 18231871 jxco ms land deed bk 6 pp 548549 mr mulholland was an irish immigrant who operated a store on the daisyvestry road now old biloxi road his daughter elizabeth mulholland 18591936 married calvin seymour 18501922 the eldest son of st cyr seymour ii and anne mccarty a son jeff davis mulholland 18611930 sometimes in alliance with the quave family was a leading merchant and entrepreneur at north biloxi in the late 19th and early 20th century bellande 1992 in january 1876 narcisse fayard 18251896 and his wife

joseph s moore grant to his son moses seymour in august 1887 jxco ms land deed bk 10 p 32 he must have acquired the interests of his brothers pierre seymour and st cyr ii these conveyances were lost or destroyed as they were never recorded in the chancery court post1875 lazarus seymour and martha fayard for 100 conveyed to delmas and emily seymour their 16 interest in february 1890 jxco ms land

unsuccessfully for many years in the chancery court of jackson county to be remunerated for their alleged interest in the st cyr seymour homestead by 1893 md russell a land speculator from iowa who was residing in the o keefe cottage at ocean springs with his new bride was in control of the old st cyr seymour tract young russell and his father doctor dp russell a veterinarian who resided at belle fontaine were involved with colonel wr snyder 18641918 in local land speculation the three men were alleged partners in the sale of the ae lewis estate a small portion which had been the st cyr

ramsay 18451934 who owned the seymour tract with hf russell 18581940 from 1902 to 1909 testified that mr spradley was the tenant of md russell and that he resided on the land for about eleven years ramsay said that spradley built one or two houses and  raised some mighty fine sugar cane and potatoes   john webb testified to the chancery court that dp russell lived on the seymour land and had logs cut and charcoal burned there during his occupancy webb stated that he dp russell lived on what they call the seymour place russell built a house barn and a structure for his teamsters to occupy john webb further averred that this was the same site that richmond spradley later resided on commencing in 1895 or 1896 webb also revealed that there were hundreds of charcoal kilns on the property the average kiln produced about 350 barrels of charcoal when asked if he ever knew of any seymours living on the tract john webb replied negatively he did say that   there was an old man living there once that we called uncle baptiste   webb did not know with any degree of certitude that this man uncle baptiste was jeanbaptiste seymour the son of st cyr seymour from testimony given in cause no 3336 hf russell v calvin seymour et al one could conclude that the homestead of st cyr seymour was located in the se 4 of the nw 4 of section 5 t8sr7w here the tenant situated near a navigable bayou and protected from the hurricane prone shores of the mississippi sound to the south was ideally situated to take advantage of the fecund waters of graveline lake with its fine oysters and fish access to the open waters of the gulf of mexico and a window to the outside world via coastal schooner was available through graveline bayou high land suitable for cultivation and stock raising lie nearby as well as lush tidal marshes suitable for winter foraging for livestock  camp   graveline  today this area of jackson county is still sparsely settled in august 1977 louis a fayard inc and mary c

louis they developed camp graveline at graveline point just west of where st cyr bayou enters graveline lake according to bob mahoney of biloxi who spent many summers of his youth here camp graveline was a vacation camp which catered to the recreational needs of the coast s juveniles it offered two sessions and could accommodate about 150 campers girls went for four weeks commencing in june the

subsequently a victim of hurricane camille in august 1969 the creare corporation purchased it from the catholic priests mullin and o connell in june 1969 jxco ms land deed bk 357 p 467 we are now ready to investigate the migration of the children of st cyr seymour and mariejosephe ryan from the primal seymour homestead at fontainebleau to other areas of the mississippi coast primarily western jackson county for the most part they settled in what we know today as the latimer community the primary focus of this late 1860 seymour settlement is in and around the intersection of tucker road and the old biloxi road daisyvestry road north of the big ridge on the east side of the tchoutacabouffa river water shed is an area that could be described as an inland peninsula with bayou costapia to the north perigal creek to the north and east and cypress creek to the south some of the seymour family chose the high land amidst these waterways to settle here elevations range between 40 and feet above sea level it is interesting to note that this general locale was the childhood home of their mother mariejosephe seymour nee ryan she was reared on the jean ryan settlement about two to three miles south in the vicinity of present day bayou porteauxgulf hills it was a homecoming for her  edward seymour settlementlatimer larue  edward seymour 18091898 the eldest of the seymour children married adele fournier 18181890 the daughter of andre fournier and catherine bouzage circa 1829 they may have started their lives south of edward s birthplace at fontainebleau the 1833 tax roll of jackson county demonstrates that edward seymour was at belle fontaine pointe where he owned 10 acres of land by 1842 he owned 60 head of cattle the mississippi agricultural census of 1850 reported edward seymour s holdings as  10 acres of improved land 400 acres of unimproved land cash value of farm 300 stock included 4 horses 1 mule 30 milch cows 4 working oxen 10 other cattle and 38 swine valued at 850  seymour  also owned 50 bushels of indian corn and 50 pounds of butter by 1856 the tax rolls have edward seymour in possession of 80 cattle and one slave it cannot be ascertained with a high degree of certitude when edward seymour and family left the fontainebleau area for the latimer area in western jackson county the land deed records of jackson county indicate that in june and november 1851 edward seymour purchased two contiguous tracts of land on the daisyvestry road old biloxi road about one mile southwest of its intersection with present day tucker road from james l condry seymour acquired the nw 4 of the se 4 and the sw 4 of the se 4 of section 27 t6s9rw jxco ms land deed bk 10 p 384 he bought from peter scarborough of harrison county in november 1851 with tenements the nw 4 of the ne 4 of section 34 t6sr9w jxco ms land deed bk 10 p 383 edward seymour and his wife reared a large family consisting of the following children raymour seymour 18291911

corroboration for the relocation of edward seymour to the latimer area is given in 1867 at this time his mother mariejosephe or mary seymour purchased 160 acres in the north half of section 26 t6sr9w from the state of mississippi jxco ms land deed book 22 p 368 also at the same time his son clement seymour soninlaw fred dupree 18331911 and grandson edward richard bought the se 4 of section 26 t6sr9w from the state of mississippi these tracts are all on the northeast side of tucker road varying from one mile southeast of its intersection with the old biloxi road to the intersection with same in the nw 4 of section 26 in 1872 edward seymour sold his land in the latimer area to clement seymour and st cyr seymour ii it appears from the land assessment records of jackson county that by 1875 edward seymour who was approximately sixtysix years of age had disposed of all land holdings in the county his name is not on the 1875 land rolls of jackson county one would assume that he and his wife were residing with an offspring annette raley seymour the wife of john chester seymour b 1929 relates in the seymour family in  the history of jackson county mississippi  1989 that edwour seymour lived with his son raymour and his wife lucinda williams for about four years after his wife died his death occurred on august 1 1898 and he is buried in the wilkerson cemetery in larue community john chester seymour is the great greatgrandson of edward seymour and adele fournier the seymour encroachment into the larue area began in 1891 in september 1891 raymour seymour acquired federal patents on the following lands in t5sr9w of the larue area sw 4 of sw 4 of section 14 se 4 of se 4 of section 15 and the ne 4 and the nw 4 of the ne 4 of section 22 at the same time his brother clement seymour and son albert jackson seymour 18671951 received federal patents also on lands in t5sr9w clement received the nw 4 and sw 4 of the ne 4 of section 10 while albert got 160 acres

early tax rolls of jackson county have very little information on pierre seymour one could deduce that he resided in the fontainebleau area probably on the st cyr seymour homestead with his siblings until he relocated to the fort bayou area of jackson county like his brothers pierre seymour owned cattle in 1843 he was assessed with 40 bovines by 1856 his herd had grown to 50 beef cattle in the 1860 federal census pierre is a butcher making his livelihood from the sale of beef and other animal meat he is a farmer in 1870 there is a high degree of certitude that pierre seymour and his family settled on the north shore of fort bayou in section 17 t7sr8w he acquired land patents from the federal government as well as the state of mississippi on lands here as early as 1847 in fact the first federal patent acquired by pierre seymour in january 1847 the se 4 of the sw 4 of section 17 is the most probable homestead he paid 5000 for this land jxco ms land tract book 1 p 199 the peter seymour site rests at an elevation of 25 feet above sea level with good drainage and easy access to fort bayou topographically this habitat is very similar to the original seymour land at fontainebleau here pierre seymour encountered navigable water marsh timber and some flat areas suitable for subsistence agriculture by 1875 pierre seymour owned about 300 acres of land in section 17 and several tracts to the south in section 20 t7sr8w the pierre seymour family cemetery developed in the ne 4 of the ne 4 of section 20 it appears that several of the children of pierre and louise fournier found settlements near their primal haunts on fort bayou the 1875 land assessment book of jackson county reveals that william seymour 18371908 owned 320 acres in sections 7 8 and 9 of t7sr8w while brother sherrod seymour 18461928 possessed 40 acres in section 8 the old fort bayou road is near or transects several of these parcels which indicates that these seymour brothers may have lived just north of their parents many of their descendants still reside in the immediate area ina goff clarke a descendant of peter sherrod seymour 18701934 remembers that as a child in the 1930s she was brought to the william seymour place it was located just west of the seymour cemetery there are groves of live oaks in these areas today which may indicate old seymour home places today the former lands of pierre seymour in section 17 and section 20 t7sr8w are for the most part owned by the heirs of j duncan moran 19251995 and his brother alfred r moran 19301981 with the exception of the woodfield subdivion and the windsor park subdivision on the northeast and southwest perimeters respectively and bayou talla road which goes to the seymour cemetery this land is lightly timbered and undeveloped directly across fort bayou to the south maurepas landing subdivision is presently developing on the former wrighthunt property in section 20 it is believed that these pierre seymour lands came into the moran family through their grandparents may v minor 18661910 and hf russell 18581940 who acquired much real estate in jackson county for taxes during their lifetime in october 1910 hf russell conveyed one acre in the nw corner of the ne 4 of the ne 4 of section 20 t7sr8w to the heirs of william seymour jxco ms land deed book 39 pp 182183 an excerpt from this conveyance reads as follows  it is

his descendants reside to day before arriving at ocean springs jeanbaptiste seymour resided at fontainebleau early jackson county mississippi tax records indicate that his land holdings at the seashore and belle fontaine increased from 43 acres to 280 acres between 1836 and 1839 by 1856 he was the most successful of the seymour brothers running over 170 head of cattle in the lake graveline area he also owned 4 slaves attesting to his affluence jeanbaptiste seymour and marie fournier reared a large family in jackson county their children were zeolide s krohn 18361898 moses seymour

caroline s beaugez 18581933 and delmas seymour 18631912 it is not known with a high degree of certitude when jeanbaptiste seymour and family quit the fontainebleau area for ocean springs it is known that on september 15 1849 jeanbaptiste seymour purchased a 13acre tract of land at ocean springs from dr andrew b dodd 18061850 a kentucky born physician the seymour tract ran from government street to lafontaine avenue and was only 150 feet wide except on its southern termination near present day lafontaine avenue where it widened to 165 feet its western perimeter began 200 feet east of dewey avenue the jeanbaptise seymour tract was originally a part of andre fournier s three arpent tract on the bay of biloxi and bayou bauzage inner harbor seymour paid dr dodd 1154 per acre for this land before jeanbaptise seymour expired on october 14 1887 he began selling his land at ocean springs to his children and others in october 1875 thomas cochran 18521883 purchased all of jeanbaptiste seymour s land north of porter avenue to government street for 200 he obtained 7752 per acre for this tract as compared to his original cost of 1154 per acre this particular plot was soon purchased by joseph kotzum 18421915 who incorporated it into his kotzum addition subdivision of january 1895  moses seymour son moses seymour 18381893 was the first sibling of the family to acquire land in the seymour tract from his parents in september 1877 jeanbaptiste and marie seymour sold him and his wife adolphine bellman 18381920 for 25 a 300foot deep lot on the south side of porter avenue near present day minor lane it appears that the homestead of jeanbaptiste seymour and marie fournier was also located on this tract in july 1890 when delmas seymour sold a house for 35 to his brother moses the deed concerning this structure read a certain house built by me in ocean springs for the use of my mother during her life on the said moses seymour lot south of his residence on porter avenue from his obituary it appears moses seymour was a resident of scranton pascagoula at the time of his demise he expired suddenly probably from a heart attack at the l n depot in new orleans as he awaited for a train to return home moses was a well known butcher he had married adolphine bellman 18381893 the daughter of charles bellman 18061860 and pauline ryan 18151899 their children were edwin mclan

beaugezs bellmans and dicks made their livelihoods in the seafood industry as fishermen and oystermen their neighborhood on the east side of dewey avenue became the primary hub of an early 20th century seafood culture at ocean springs without question seymour avenue is now a more appropriate historic appellation for the present thoroughfare in time several local seafood enterprises some of

of gustave theodore borries 18551920 called theodore had not assigned her interest in the warranty deed to mrs russell it appears that there was a small structure built on the tract by borries which duncan minor 18631920 had improved for his sister mrs russell in order that it could be let the borries may have resided here we know this tract today as a portion of the lloyd h catchot 19121995
