History

Rosedown Plantation[1] was the home Daniel Turnbull and wife Martha Barrow Turnbull built in 1835 in St. Francisville, West Feliciana, LA. It is considered one of the most historic and intact plantations in the South. The plantation was comprised of nearly 3500 acres, mostly of cotton, and was run and maintained by the nearly 450 slaves Daniel and Martha Turnbull owned.

In 1844, after the death of their son James, a doctor was hired to reside on the Rosedown plantation for the family and the slaves.[2]

Slaves

The names of these enslaved persons come from various papers of the Bowman-Turnbull family. The following people were being loaned by William Turnbull to Mr. Freeman in 1856.[3]

Martha Turnbull's garden diary describes some of the enslaved who worked in her gardens.[2][4]
