Taken from his will….
"My name is Manuel Andry, I am a Creole of New Orleans, legitimate son of the late Sir Louis Andry and Mrs. Marie Jeanne Lapiere, his wife, both dead; I was born on the 25th of December in the year of 1758 in the Catholic religion that I have professed all my life. I give up my body to the earth and I recommend my soul to God and pray Him to receive it into His holy protection.

I was married, for the first time with Mrs. Marie Thomassin and we had three children, namely: Michel Andry, now deceased but leaving eleven children from two marriages; Gilbert Andry, deceased following an insurrection which took place on his property, leaving two children; and Hortaire Andry. I am now married with Mrs. Josephine Laveau Trudeau and we have of our marriage a single daughter called Adenais Andry.

ANDRY, Manuel, planter, soldier, politician. Born ca. 1757. Received, in W. C. C. Claiborne's estimation, "a good education." Commandant of St. John the Baptist Parish, 1805; refused reappointment ca. September 9, 1805; named coroner of the County of the German Coast, June 12, 1805; commissioned major, Fifth Regiment, Louisiana Militia, August 12, 1805; promoted to rank of colonel, April 21, 1809; resigned commission, ca. December 24, 1811; appointed justice of the peace, St. John the Baptist Parish, June 12, 1805; reappointed June 30, 1807; member, house of representatives, Territory of Orleans, 1806-1810; nominated for appointment to the legislative council, Territory of Orleans, March 4, 1810. Largest slave uprising in history of United States began on his plantation, near present-day La Place, La., January 8, 1811. Andry's son, Gilbert, was the first victim of the insurrection. Though wounded in the assault on his home, elder Andry, colonel in the local militia, organized the initial white effort to subdue the rebels and issued a call for military assistance from Gov. W. C. C. Claiborne (q.v.). Reinforcements dispatched immediately and by the evening of January 11, 1811, Andry was able to report that all resistance had been crushed. Manuel died in New Orleans on December 18, 1839. He was interred in New Orleans.
