Description
This is an estimated structure designed to "house" residents enumerated from the St. Rosalie Plantation from records outside of the historical census.
St. Rosalie Plantation was a sugar cane plantation. During the antebellum period, the plantation was owned by André Durnford (1828-1859). At the time of his death in 1859, André Durnford enslaved 77 individuals. His wife, Marie Charlotte Remi Durnford died in 1864. His family continued to operate the plantation until 1872. His children, André Durnford, age 22 and Rosetta Durnford, age 20, appear in the 1870 census. The people who worked at St. Rosalie Plantation after emancipation were recorded at least twice, as evidenced by archives from the Freedmen's Bureau Records, 1865-1878, available on Ancestry.com. The records are transcribed into tables, below. Some of the names of these persons can be matched to the records generated by entering the 1870 Census of Rosalie Plantation; others can be matched to sacramental records from the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Matching the names of the people to other records is an ongoing process.
