| 53 |  | Heirs to Creole Millions Will Sue Spanish Crown Article from the Times Picayune, 15 Mar. 1925, p13. The woman in the first paragraph who died in 1866 is Emilie Lacoste, who married as her second husband Pierre Hacker (d. 1835). I'm not sure whether the name in the article, "Laporte," is her maiden name "Lacoste," or a variation on her first husband's name, "Mahé-Desportes." According to this article, she died in the North Rampart St. home of Mrs. George Washington Dunbar: this is her daughter Charlotte Zulmee Hacker (d. 1910). Many descendants of the family are named here as well. |
