The code of 1808 also states that probate court is only 1 day in the month and no more. At the time of 8,000 people dying in Orleans Parish you are right it would take years to get to the probate from the time of death. Is that document from Tulane or LSU you have here?
That is a good reason why it took so long to get to the probate after Jr died in 1820 .
