The Enslaved People of Magnolia Plantation

Cane River Creole National Historical Park

Background Information

The institution of enslavement and the act of emancipation have left indelible imprints on many aspects of Cane River life, and the park has been working for many years to uncover the stories of all the people that lived on the plantation. Generations of the same families of workers lived on these lands for over two hundred years. Their labor sustained Magnolia Plantation and contributed to the wealth of the LeComte (or LeCompte) family who founded the plantation. The following information has been ascertained from account journals of Ambrose LeComte, succession, baptismal and census records. While these documents are limited and incomplete, they do provide information including the names, ages, places of origin, and skills of many of the enslaved individuals who labored across the centuries at Magnolia Plantation. We are continuing work to uncover the stories of these people, and will provide more information as it becomes available.

1700s

In 1753, Jean Baptist LeComte (or LeCompte) received a French land grant on both sides of the Red River (later Cane River) twenty miles south of Natchitoches. By 1766, the LeComte household consisted of himself, a wife Marguerite, a son Ambrose, two daughters, one enslaved adult woman, and two enslaved children. Over the next few years, the LeComte family grew tobacco, raised cattle, and increased their enslaved holdings. According to the 1787 census, Marguerite and Ambrose owned twenty-three enslaved people. The following information has been retrieved from archival records.

1801-1810

The transition from tobacco to cotton farming at Magnolia followed the invention of the Whitney cotton gin in 1793. As the textile mills increased demand for cotton, the use of enslaved labor to plant, pick, and process cotton increased. Wherever slavery existed, there were efforts on the part of the enslaved to escape that cruel institution and gain freedom.

On October 14, 1804, several enslaved people left the plantation of Ambrose LeComte and other neighboring plantations. A posse tried to recapture the freedom seekers, but the escapees eluded capture and entered Spanish territory. Natchitoches residents requested the fugitives return from Spanish officials. Upon return, the freedom seekers were interrogated, publicly whipped, and returned to their owners. Despite having to contend with freedom seekers, the first U.S. census for Louisiana, taken in 1810, records that the number of people enslaved by the LeComtes had increased to fifty-four.

1820s

The 1820s were a time of expansion for the LeComte family. Ambrose bought land from neighbors and relatives who needed cash in 1820, 1824, and 1825. The number of enslaved people increased to ninety-six by 1820.

Thirty-four of the enslaved were females and sixty-two were male.  There were nineteen more men of prime working age (18-30) than there were women. Billy, Charles, Edmond, Friday, Gabriel, and Joseph were all in their twenties.

The age and gender inequalities may be explained by the fact that during this time LeComte was accumulating large land tracts, which had to be cleared to increase cotton production.

1830s

By 1830, the LeComtes had increased their enslaved workforce to 136. The male to female ratio had become more equal with seventy-three men to sixty-three women. Ambrose LeComte died in 1830. His grandson, Ambrose II, continued to accumulate land.

While very few planters ever allowed enslaved people to learn to read and write, legislation passed in Louisiana in 1830 made it a crime to do so. Out of necessity, the enslaved were forced to carry on the African tradition of conveying information orally.

All the land acquired between 1824 and 1835, and part of the property from the original land grant became part of Magnolia Plantation, which was founded in 1835. In addition to Magnolia, Ambrose II and his wife Julia owned Shallow Lake Plantation, were partial owners of Vienna Plantation, and had built a townhouse in Natchitoches.

Enslaved people worked six days a week from sunrise to sunset. They were divided into multiple labor gangs. There were gangs for picking cotton, cultivating corn, hoeing, and planting. There were additional gangs for cotton ginning and pressing, land clearing, and fence building.

1845

In 1845, Julia LeComte died, prompting a detailed inventory to be taken of the property she owned with Ambrose, including Magnolia’s enslaved workforce. There were 155 enslaved people working at Magnolia in 1845, who were appraised at $71,435 ($2,014,397 in 2020).

Some of these enslaved people were housed in the brick cabins that were built around 1845. As many as twenty-four cabins were two-room brick structures, accommodating an enslaved family or group in each of the two rooms. Eight cabins of the Magnolia Slave Quarters have survived.

1850s

The 1850 census showed that the enslaved population had increased to 182. In addition, the census indicates a change in the age and gender balance of the enslaved workforce, which could have resulted from estate division. In 1852, Ambrose’s daughter Atala and son-in-law Matthew Hertzog took over operation of Magnolia.

Letter from Magnolia Overseer borne by enslaved man Dorseno, 1851.

Note: “Dorseno beares you these lines – he goes to see his wife today …” The Magnolia overseer Eddins notifies Mr. LeComte that two children “on the other side” (Shallow Lake Plantation) have died and one woman is critically ill, but he gives no names.

1860s

By 1860, the LeComtes and the Hertzogs owned more enslaved people than anyone else in the parish. Beginning with an enslaved woman and two enslaved children in 1766, the enslaved population reached 235 persons, housed in seventy cabins, by 1860.

In the midst of the Civil War, Arnold attempted to escape enslavement according to the newspaper ad.

“Detained in the Parish jail of Avoyelles the runaway negro man Arnold, who says he belongs to Ambroise LeComte of the Parish of Natchitoches. Said slave is 20 years old and is 5 feet 9 inches high. The owner is hereby duly notified to claim his property according to law. Parish of Avoyelles January 10th, 1863. Dora Guillot. Jailor.” Louisiana Runaway Slave Advertisements, 1836-1865, Louisiana Digital Library, sn 89059000, Baton Rouge, La.

Historical Documents

This document collection includes letters, newspapers, as well as a “recapitulation” or inventory of the land and enslaved assets of Ambrose LeComte II. This inventory included not only his Magnolia and Shallow Lake Plantations, but also his co-owned Vienna Plantation and other holdings, taken primarily in 1852.

The lists of the enslaved persons are divided by male/female, and children born since 1845 are listed at the end of each section. Notations are made concerning occupation, racial designation, sex, age, spouse, a child’s mother, conditions, value, birth and death dates, or other information deemed important by the planter.

A few entries show that a person listed on one site is actually located at another of LeComte’s holdings, such as Cape Hope, his horse racing operation. The final list shows those enslaved persons at the vachery (ranch), Spanish Lake, and Cape Hope, and the “House Servants” (most likely at the Natchitoches town home of the LeComtes).

One list is of those persons purchased from 1853, with additional entries from 1854-1859. Another is of those enslaved purchased from “Mad Manuel”, most likely Madame Emmanuel, the widow of Emmanuel Prudhomme, Marie Catherine née Lambre (of the farm later known as Oakland Plantation). The Vienna Plantation lists include those enslaved purchased from the “sale of Victor Sompayrac”. The Prudhommes, Lambres, and Sompayracs all had both business and marriage ties to the LeComtes.

Each document shown below can be expanded by selecting the image.

Magnolia Plantation was Ambrose LeComte’s primary farm and was also called Magnolia Grove Plantation. He gave 40% of the farm to his daughter Atala and her husband Mathieu (Matthew) Hertzog as a wedding gift, and she acquired the remainder after his death. The plantation also encompassed part of the Hertzog family’s land as well.

Shallow Lake Plantation was part of the original land grant acquired by Jean Baptiste Lecomte I. Although adjacent to the later Magnolia Plantation, from the records it appears that they were run as separate farms, although certainly connected on various levels.

Letter from Shallow Lake Overseer discussing Illness of several Enslaved Persons, 1862.

The letter reveals much phonetic spelling, not uncommon in overseer’s writing, even though they may be very skilled in their farm management. Here, Hudson uses the term “new money” for “pneumonia”. Enslaved mentioned are Jim, Zillon, Li/eset, Idel, and Li/esar (Lisa?)

Vienna Plantation was co-owned by Ambrose LeComte and his brother-in-law Louis Alexandre Buard (and later his widow, Suzette Hertzog). At this time we do not know the exact location of the plantation. The Yanacoucou (L’annacoucou/Lanacoco) Vachery was a cattle ranch to the west (French vache is a cow) of Magnolia Plantation. We do not have records to indicate what type of holding was at Spanish Lake. Cape Hope (Cape of Good Hope in one document) was Ambrose LeComte’s horse racing operation. Although we do not know its exact location, LeComte and Phanor Prudhomme co-owned the horse racing track in Natchitoches, and the stables may have been located near the track. The House Servants were most likely working in various capacities at the large LeComte townhouse in Natchitoches.
