1767-Feb.-03: The estate of the late Sr. Esmenard, located at Grand-Boucand in the Plaine-du-Nord parish, was scheduled for public liquidation through an auction on the plantation. The sale included a wide array of valuable movable assets, ranging from silverware and jewelry to cattle and horses. Successful bidders were required to pay the full price of their acquisitions in cash at the time of the sale. Such auctions were standard for settling successions and demonstrated the fluid nature of wealth and luxury property among the northern colonial elite.
