Summary of his life

Jean Schexnayder was born about 1734. He died March 2, 1784 according to civil records[4][5] and March 3, 1784 according to the church records, which also indicate he was buried on March 4.[6] Since the civil record is months later, the church record seems more likely to be accurate. Like many of the time, Adam was a slaveholder with six slaves named in his succession inventory:[4]

  • Sebastian bn. ~1754, Congo nation
  • Pierre bn. ~1744, Nago nation
  • Antoine bn. ~1777, creole
