Leverich family.

Henry S., Charles P., William E., and James H. Leverich, originally from Newtown, New York, founded the successful merchant house Leverich & Co. in the 1820s and 1830s. Active in both New Orleans and New York, the firm dealt extensively in Southern agricultural products, especially cotton, as well as commodities, household items, and providing financial services to its clients. Henry and Charles married Margaret and Matilda Gustine of Natchez, Mississippi. Henry and Margaret had two children, Edward and Mary. Charles and Matilda had four children, Charles D., Stephen D., James H., and Matilda R. In 1872 Edward, son of Henry S. Leverich, married Annie Schuchardt. In the 1870s Leverich & Co. had dealings with Oak Lawn and Dogberry plantations; in the 1880s Edward and Annie took posession of these properties.
