Why did he leave the Texade estate. Was Irvin his dad? Why did Irvin leave his estate in central la. Irvin brother, Louis had and entire estate in Central Louisiana on Bayou Rapides. Louis kids reaped the benefit of all of the land.

why..

I worked as an intern last semester with the Department of Natural Resources/Historic Preservation Division and I found out something interesting about the Texada estate near Bayou Rapids, Alex. It seems that a Texada sold the estate in the 1860's o 70's to a bank. It was then sold to anouther family a few years later. Who was the other family, and why do older family member in my family recall visiting the home when they were little if i was no longer owned by the Texada clan. I'm confused. Oh, I am also black..:)

From what I know, Louis Texada owed a large estate of land and I don't know when or how he got. His dad was John Texada. Louis was considered a black man because of his mom. A large estate was split between he and Henry Green. The may have only been a portion of the Texada estate. It was huge and I think the white side of the family sold everything, because white Texada's maily grew up in Alexandria. Louis raised a large family of 10 kids in a Plantation style home. It was considered the largest plantation home owed by blacks in the Central La area. That house had to be at least 200 years old and has decayed with time. But it sits on the Black Texada estate. Louis had a brother named William, but for some reason, he left the area and was not a part of the estate. I believe William moved to South La or Houston but had kids in the southern part of the state. Maybe some grand kids. Remember, the original Texada's practically owed the whole Bayou Rapides area. Most of the land became owed by the daughter of Emanuel whose family married into the Crookshank. The Crookshanks were a large farm family. The black Texada estate is in shambles, because it has become air property with no one owner due to clear wills and land titles. The Land is beautiful. I think we are slowly figuring this interesting history out.

I am Shaina Victoria--daughter of(b.Houston,TX)
Rena Gayle Boss-Victoria--daughter of
(b.Bayou Rapides, LA)
Ruth Boss--daughter of (b.Bayou Rapides)
Beatrice Boss--daughter of(b.Bayou Rapides)
Alice "Shug" Texada Holt--first born of (b.Bayou Rapides)
Louis and Martha Texada of Bayou Rapides, La

Long story short, I am the great, great, great, granddaughter and heir to the estate of Louis Texada. Their is only one sole heir to the estate(Lucy "Penney" Texada Smith) and she has one daughter and they both reside in Chicago... The person in charge of the estate is John Dial, son of Simmie "Too Sweet" Texada Dial....my auntie's house is facing the bayou as we speak on Texada Rd. I've been going ever since birth and try to go as often as I can. You ask how Louis got the land well, he was very educated, especailly in business adn my mom told me they were workings of the slave trade and he was a slave owner of some sort and the name didn't hurt either. He bought the land and built the house for his family. The house is gone today, if my memory serves me, it was lost in some sort of fire(get back to you on that one) but the land is more than still in existance. What started out as ten heirs has turned into 50 to date. I don't know how many acres it is but it has to be 50+. The executive over this estate(John Dial) as I stated above is fast approaching 80, is ill and is trying to abide by his grandfather's will and past the last down to the next heirs and we speak. My mother is most likely the possible candidate. I know quite a bit about this family (I believe) and would love to learn more.
