The petitioners are Petronille, Antoine, Uranie, Josephine, and Hortense Dubuclet, free people of color and the minor children above the age of puberty of the late Antoine Dubuclet and his wife, Rosalie Belly Dubuclet. They pray the court to appoint Ambroise Collerie Dubreuil as "curator ad lites" to represent their interests in the succession of their late father. Each child's prayer to the court is written as a separate petition and the court renders a separate ruling for each child. Several related petitions, grouped under the label "Dubuclet Series," provide a good cross-reference of all the Dubuclet family members. Although a related petition indicates that Antoine Dubuclet may have been a man of mixed race, he and his children have been identified as "black" in this petition, because no specific information is provided regarding their color. A related petition reveals that Antoine Dubuclet was a "mulatto."
