'Frail, Wounded Mother Asks Only of 'Baby's' Suffering.'
"Frail, Wounded Mother Asks Only of 'Baby's' Suffering."
This tells the first part of the story of Agatha Pitard Turnbull's death; she attempted to shoot her daughter Blanche, and herself, rather than let her daughter be taken back to an insane asylum. This is from the Times-Picayune, 18 July, 1919, p5.

'Hugh McLellan's Family Line'
"Hugh McLellan's Family Line"
This cites no sources, but describes the line from Bryce through Capt. Joseph McLellan to Maj. Hugh McLellan. Because there are no sources it is less authoritative, but I believe that the author, William Barry, is associated with the McLellan-Sweat house.
 
10
'May Be Attempting Death by Starvation'
"May Be Attempting Death by Starvation"
This is a development in the death of Agatha Pitard, about a month after the original shooting incident. This is from the Times-Picayune, 19 Aug. 1919, p5.

This is a reprint of an article originally published between 1890 and 1895 describing the McLellan shipyards run by the McLellans on the south bank of the Mississippi in New Orleans. Pictured are William H.P. McLellan (d. 1895) and two of his sons, Alden and Orris. "Azeal" in the body of the article must mean "Asahel," the other living brother. This is taken from "Old Algiers" by Richard Remy Dixon, page 57.

"The Burning of the Gipsy," Times Picayune, 8 Dec. 1854
This describes the loss of the steamer along with "Dr. Hacker, of Plaquemines, with his nephew, a lad of some thirteen years of age, and his daughter." The nephew, not named in any articles about the incident, was very likely Octave Florian Pitard, who would have been 13 at the time.

'The Name and Family of McLellan,' by the Media Research Bureau
"The Name and Family of McLellan," by the Media Research Bureau
I would not use this as a source, but it might be interesting as an historical effort to document the family. It does, helpfully, contain a bibliography.

Dr. Henry C. Levensaler at Fredericksburg
This report by the commander of the 19th Maine, Col. Sewall, mentions Dr. Levensaler's service at the Battle of Fredericksburg (Dec. 1862). It is taken from the Compilation of Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, series 1, vol. 21. The end of the report at the top of the page, by his brigade commander Gen. Sully, mentions that this was the first action the 19th Maine had seen during the war. It was a brutal defeat for the Union.

Heirs to Creole Millions Will Sue Spanish Crown
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.
