Will of Achille Le Prince Box 158, No. 10 The Confederate States of America. Charleston 1st November 1862

In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Sound in body and mind, I here write my last wishes, I name and constitute for my Executors to my Will, my son in law Charles E. Kanapaux and my son Achille E. Le Prince.

The awful conflagration of 11th December 1861, having destroyed all that I had, it will be very easy with the aid of my good daughter Eugenia to make an inventory of the little that I leave on the day of my death. If at that time the lot situated on King Street has not been sold my Executors will dispose of it to the best interests of my Estate, and when they think best, there will be reserved of the disposable fund the sum of ($400) Four hundred dollars in favor of my dear daughter Eugenia to replace her piano which was burnt on the said 11th December 1861. After all debts are paid, if any exist, the balance will be divided equally among my four children or their descendants - the portion coming the the children of my lamented Victoire Le Prince, wife of Laffiteau, Edward Laffiteau and Charles Laffiteau, shall be deposited in their name for the best of their interests. The amount placed at interest for them cannot be given to them, but when they arrive at the age of majority. Also the portion of my son Julius Le Prince.

There is an indemnity of St. Domingo in the name of the late Mrs. F. Thibeau, my Mother-in-Law. A power of Attorney signed by her four grandchildren in my favor was sent to Mr. L. Vilmot, Notary, "Place de la Rourse No. 8" at Paris, who is authorized to send payments that the French government makes, or ought to make, each year. This indemnity belongs to my three children, Victoire Le Prince wife of Laffiteau, or her two children Edward and Charles Laffiteau, Eugenia Le Prince wife of Charles E. Kanapaux and Achille E. Le Prince. They will find among my papers my correspondence with Mr. L. Vilmot.

As a keepsake, I give to my dear daughter Eugenia my repeating watch. To my son-in-law Chas. E. Kanapaux my small diamond pin. To my son Achille E. Le Prince my gold pencil case and the walking stick of my father. To my son Julius A. Le Prince my small gold chain attached to my watch and my double barrelled gun.

I request my children give to the French Society of Charity the sum of ($100). One Hundred Dollars. This small sum will be divided, $25 to be placed in the Capital Fund and $75 Seventy Five Dollars in their fund for charity. On dying, I pray God to bless my children.

Achille Le Prince

Signed in the presence of H. E. Dotterer, Jacob S. Schirmer, H. W. Carr.

Probate before George Buist O.C.D. this second day of February A.D. 1864: on same day qualified Achille E. Le Prince one of the Executors therein names. The original of this will is written in French with a copy translated in English.

A RELATIVE PERHAPS?? Quite Possibly could be M. V. C. Achille LePrince's brother, nephew, or even a son as the birth date of 20 Jun 1812 was when Achille was 29. This man was the Mayor of Nogent-sur-Marne from 1875 - 1878.

Reference to an Achille Le Prince in the "Revue de Bretagne, de Vendee & D'Anjou" as follows:

"(1) Simon Le Prince appartenait a unue tres-honorable famille de Dieppe, qui y est oujour-d'hui encore dignement representee par son frere, M/ Armand Le Prince. Un autre de ses freres, Achille Le Prince, capitaine d'infanterie, a disparu en 1812 daus la desasireuse retraite de Moscou. (N. de la R.)"

Translated: "(1) Simon Le Prince belonged to the very honorable Dieppe family which is still worthily represented by his brother Armand Le Prince. Another of his brothers, Infantry Captain Achille Le Prince, disappeared soon after the retreat from Moscow."

Thoughts: Dieppe is modern day Normandy, France. This is from http://www.geocities.com/BourbonStreet/1781/France/Normandy/dieppe.html

Dieppe, ancient home of the Roy family

Dieppe (town of Normandy - France). This harbour town has direct ferry links to southern England

The old town, which can be seen from the cliff tops, has retained its mediaeval layout, even though Dieppe had to be rebuilt at the end of the XVIIth century, when a fire destroyed the town. The city's history and economy are profoundly linked to fishing and merchant shipping. Dieppe used to receive great quantities of merchandise, including spices, and above all ivory. The development of ivory carving and the prosperity of this cottage industry, even though it was not immune to external events, helped to enhance the city's reputation.

The castle Museum The flint and sandstsone fortress was rebuilt on the west cliff in the XVth century, and now houses the museum collections : seascapes, ivories carved by local craftsmen as far back as the XVIth century, paintings by Boudin, Lebourg and Pissaro, prints by Braque.

Church of Saint-Jacques Work on this church was started in 1995, on the site of a building destroyed by fire, and a number of alterations were subsequently made. The central portal, for instance, which is crowned by a fine rose window, dates from the XVth century, as does the 41-m high tower, while the apse and radial chapels were built in the XVIth century.

Church of Saint Rémi This church was built between the XVIth and XVIIth centuries, and the central bell tower dates from the XVIIIth century. lnside, visitors can admire the remarkable panelling of the choir, the organ case and the Renaissance decoration of the treasure room.

The Port The port, with its fishing fleet, is located in the heart of the town. The trawlers and river barges provide a superb palette of colours, which have been a favourite subject for amateur and professional artists alike for many decades. The port around which Dieppe's industry developed is specialised in citrus fruits bananas and timber. A ferry port handling more than a million passengers a year between Newhaven (close to Brighton) and Dieppe.

The beach The sea front is set slightly back from the shore itself, providing space for a vast expanse of lawns and play areas nearly 2 km long.

The "Cité de la Mer" will unveil the world of the sea for you in all its aspects : fish, fishing, the coast...

Leisure activities : Casino, 18-hole golf course,tennis courts, racecourse, seawater therapy centre, wind surfing, etc..

In the surrounding area The chateau de Miromesnil (Tourville-sur-Arques (8 km from Dieppe). Guy de Maupassant's official birthplace, this XVIth century chateau belonged to the Chancellor, Hue de Miromesnil, in the XVIIIth century. Its fine stands of trees, its chapel, its kitchen garden with flower-beds and its facade are all worth noting. The interiors contain mementos of the Marquis de Miromesnil and Guy de Maupassant.

Bastia (French & Corsican: Bastia), is a commune in the Haute-Corse department of France on the island of Corsica. It is the capital of the department. Bastia is also an important Corsican port and is famous for its wines. Situated in the northeast of Corsica, at the base of Cap Corse, Bastia is the principal port of the island and its principal commercial town. The average annual temperature is about 15.3 °C, and there are usually five days of freezing weather per year. The wind in Bastia is frequent and violent, and the annual rainfall is copious (more than 700 mm). However, there are about 340 days of sunshine per year. Before the occupation of Corsica by the Genoese, Cardo was a large city. Around the city were little villages where the fishermen of Cardo lived. This little port was called Porto Cardo, which means "the port of Cardo." The Genoese felt the need for shelter from the sea storms and began to construct, in the time of governor Leonello Lomellini, in 1380, a bastiglia, also known as a stronghold or citadel. With time, the bastiglia (Bastia) became more prosperous and important than Cardo. Bastia was the capital of Corsica until 1791.

List of Pew Holders September 30, 1841: A. L. Prince No. 43 $7.50

1. ↑ The birthdate of Achille is extrapolated from his age listed in the reference to his application for naturalization with the Federal government.
   
   A federal record of his naturalization lists his birthplace as Bastia on the Island of Corsica off the coast of Southern France. His loose biography contained in the "Supreme Council 33rd Degree Part 1 Or Mother Council of the World of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction, United States of America Vol. 1) pp 34, 159, 179, 180, 186, 250, 283, 357 list his birthplace as Montpelier which is a port on the Southern Coast of France and likely the departure and arrival point for travel to and from Corsica from the french mainland.
2. ↑ Buried in St. Mary's Church Cemetery on Hasell Street in Charleston, SC. His will, dated 1862 was probated in February 1864 so his death date, absent a record, is estimated.
   
   History on St. Mary's:
   St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, which is formally called St. Mary of Annunciation Roman Catholic Church, is the first Roman Catholic church in the Carolinas and Georgia. The current building at 93 Hasell St. in Charleston, South Carolina, is the third structure to house the congregation on this site.
   
   The property and an old building was purchased in 1789. It was incorporated as the Roman Catholic Church of Charleston by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1791. The first structure was replaced by a brick church that burned in the Charleston fire in 1838.
   
   The church was rebuilt quickly and reopened on June 9, 1839. It is a rectangular building, 84 ft (25.6 m) by 50 ft (15.2 m). It was built of brick with a stucco covering. The are four Doric columns that support a large entablature. The parapet wall at the top of the church was probably constructed around 1896. There are stained glass windows imported from Munich.
   
   The nave has a central aisle and two large rows of pews. There are smaller aisles along the sides. Above the altar, there is a painting of the Cruxification painted by John S. Cogdell. The artist donated this painting to replace an earlier painting he had done in 1814, which was destroyed in the fire.
   
   The church graveyard is on each side and to the rear of the church.
   
   The St. Mary's Church is on the National Register of Historic Places, No. 76001697. The South Carolina Department of Archives and History has additional pictures and information.[1] and copies of the nomination forms.[2]
   
   There are additional pictures and information available from the Historic American Building Survey at the Library of Congress.[3]
