Gustavus Schmidt
Gustavus Schmidt (16 June 1795 in Mariestad, Sweden – 20 September 1877 in Sweet Springs, West Virginia) was a United States lawyer who worked mostly in Louisiana.
==Biography==
He was educated at the classical school in Jönköpings, where his father, a judge of the aulic court for the south of Sweden, resided, and in 1810 he entered the Swedish military navy. In 1815 he settled on the eastern shore of Maryland, where he was engaged as a private tutor. Five years later he went to Richmond, Virginia, studied law, and after being admitted to the bar practised that profession for a number of years.
Among the important cases with which he was connected was that of three Spaniards charged with piracy and murder on board the brig “Crawford.” He was assigned as counsel for them by Chief Justice John Marshall, to whom he had been introduced by his elder brother, Christian. The case created an unusual sensation, owing to the horrible nature of the crime. Subsequently Schmidt published ''A Brief Sketch of the Occurrences on board the Brig Crawford'' (Richmond, 1827).
In 1829, Schmidt moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, where he met and married Melanie Seghers, daughter of a prominent attorney, and established himself in New Orleans society and the legal profession there. He was associated with Henry Clay as counsel for the heirs of Dubreuil Villars in their suit for the recovery of the land on which the United States Mint stood. His knowledge of the Spanish language led to his selection by the merchants of New Orleans to look after their interests in Mexico, and subsequently he was sent to Havana to supervise the details of certain contracts between James Robb and the Spanish authorities.
