Labarthe Delisle [or Delisle de la Barthe], resident of New Orleans but living in Saint Mary Parish, declared that he was the husband of the deceased Pouponne Ozenne and the father and natural tutor of their three minor children. Delisle contended that his children were entitled to one-eighth part of the estate of Jacques François Ozenne and his wife Marguerite Decuir, both deceased. He therefore petitioned Judge Paul Briant to include his claim in making final partition among the heirs.
