GAYARRE -- BOR
Gayarre, Carlos
Gayarre, an official of the paymaster's office, states that in his proceedings to marry Maria Isabel Bor‚ he has progressed to the publication of one of the banns. But because of the presence of smallpox in the city, Juana Margarita Maria Destrehan, mother of his fiancee, wishes to go to the country. Therefore, Gayarre asks for a dispensation from the other two banns.

Delphina Le Maitre, b. circa 1806, d. 10 Feb 1882, New Orleans, Louisiana (Age ~ 76 years) |
| Notes |
- Delphine Le Maitre was an Octaroon, a slave owned by Charles Gayarre.
- In an envelope labeled "Private notices of my family" in the King collection is a copy of the baptismal record of Carlos Hastus Nicolas Gayarre, son of Carlos (Charles) Gayarre and Delphine Le Maitre. The child was born on August 3, 1825. The record was made on March 5, 1826 and signed by Charles Gayarre and Pere Antoine, the famous padre of New Orleans. The copy was made in 1844, the year after Gayarre returned from Europe, by Cure Maenbout. The following correction was attached:
Por error se asent este acts Bautismal de Carlos Hastus Nicolas Gayarre y Le Maitre en este registro no debiendo estar sino en el de solo gente de color, por ser tal le madre dicho nino. Pere Antoine.
Through error this baptism notice of Carlos Hastus Nicolas Gayarre y Le Maitre was set down on this register, the aforesaid child not really belonging there, but on one for colored people, such being the mother. Pere Antoine.
This shows that Gayarre was the father of a natural son. No trace of this son has been found after this baptismal record.
A letter written from Paris on March 2, 1844, in French, to Gayarre in New Orleans is entirely concerned about the illnes of "Pauve Charles" and of Charles' wishing for Gayarre. While the letter shows Gayarre's close interest in the boy, there is no reference to a paternal relationship. The signature was not decipherable.
Miss Josie Cerf of the Louisiana Historical Society said in a conversation with the writer of this study that Delphine Le Maitre was an octoroon slave belonging to Gayarre. She was bought by Miss Cerf's grandfather and sent to their plantation at Osyka, Mississippi. Possessed of venomous temper, she burned the plantation house.
About 1920, Miss Cerf related, a woman, negroid in features, called on Miss Cerf, seeking information about her great grandfather, Charles Gayarre, the historian. [6]

Columbus, Mississippi |
| Notes |
- No Issue.
- She was married to a rich young cotton merchant and went to New Orleans to live. He died there after but a few years of happiness, leaving two children and a fortune to his wife. The children died and the young lady gave herself up to the life of a young widow.
But after a while she was induced to go to the opera, and there was Gayarre, the most distinguished man in the State, who was pointed out to her, tall, handsome, and distinguished-looking, proud, and haughty. He had been Senator and was the celebrated author of a history of Louisiana. His fame filled the country.
'Who is the beautiful lady?' asked the judge, running his supercilious eye over the other open boxes.
'A young widow from Mississippi,' was the answer.
In a flash he recognized his destiny, prophesied by a celebrated fortune teller in Paris who had predicted he would marry a rich beautiful widow.
'Present me!" he said.
But no fortune teller had prepared her. None was needed. To have a great man ask her to marry him was to assure her assent, and so they were married. [7]
