1797 Feb. 24
Garnhart, Cathalina
St. Fernando de las Barrancas
to Jose Deville Degoutin, Commandant of
St. Fernando de las Barrancas
Cathalina Garnhart declares that she is the daughter of Miguel
Garnhart, of Kentucky, who arrived here on the 3rd of the
present month, and having lost some papers, were forced to
remain while getting others.
"Fascinating court case about a GARNHART Lady who is probably
kin to Permilia, see below. This was while we were under
Spainish Rule. The Archives of the University of Notre Dame
(which is online)...it concerns a Catalina Garnhart, who comes
to Louisiana with her family in 1797, and is tricked into what
she thinks is a legitimate marriage, to a Spanish Officer named
Borras (it's a pretty interesting story). It states that her
father's name is Miguel Garnhart, and that he is from
Kentucky...another place says he's from Tennessee. They are
said to have travelled to Natchez during one phase of the court
inquiry, and then, at the conclusion of the hearings, they are
said to be in Bayou Sara, Louisiana. As I believe I mention
before, Elizabeth Garnhart and Burrell Hall (my 3rd Great
Grandparents)were married near Bayou Sara in 1828. It could be
that Cathalina Garnhart is the sister of Elizabeth (and
Permilia) Garnhart's father...the dates would fit this scenario.
There was a Jacob Garnhart in the Bayou Sara area during the War
of 1812. The Garnhart name seems to be rather uncommon, and all
of us have a Garnhart connection in the Feliciana, Point Coupee,
Bayou Sara area. Check the attachment out & see if anything in
it gives you a lead."

1797 Feb. 25
Degoutin, Jose Deville
St. Fernando de las Barrancas
No declaration could be taken from the parents of Cathalina
Garnhart because they left on the 24th of this month for
Natchez. Garcia and Booth sign with Degoutin.
D.S. Copy (Spanish)
Thomas Baker appeared and swore that he had been staying with
the Garnhart family who came from Tenensie(?). On the 6th of
June, Borras came to the house insisting that Cathalina marry
him that afternoon. Her parents consented. Borras presented
Molina and Solibella and a soldier Juan Glas, as an interpreter.
In the presence of these and of Baker and his wife, Borras took
Cathalina's hand and gave her a gold coin in place of a ring and
kissed her and declared that she was his wife. Asked about the
strange ceremony, Borras answered that the ship's captain could
perform it with two witnesses when there was no clergyman. Baker
said that Molina did nothing during the ceremony; Baker took him
for the judge that usually attends these ceremonies. Baker is 28
years old. Baker, Touy, Garcia and Booth sign with Degoutin.
D.S. Copy (Spanish)

1797 Feb. 25
Degoutin, Jose Deville
St. Fernando de las Barrancas
Carlota, wife of Baker, appeared and testified (to the same
information as given above). (The manuscript is blurred and
illegible in many places). She had them for dinner the next day
and Borras stated in the presence of Molina and Glas that
(Cathalina) was now Mrs. Borras. Mrs. Baker is 26 years old and
signs as Charlot Baker with touy, Garcia, Booth and de Goutin.
D.S. Copy (Spanish)
Cathalina Garnhart, with Fran(cis)co Pavana as interpreter,
appeared before (Penalver). She swore that what Borras said was
an agreement between them was a lie, that it was to deceive her,
that he spoke to her of marriage and not of concubinage. If he
is obliged to marry her by decree of the Catholic Church, she
would lead a life of misery and thinks it would be better if
they do not marry. She requests the tribunal to conclude the
matter and she will return to Bayou Sara where her parents are.
She is 18 years old and does not know how to sign. The bishop
and Pavana sign.
