Description

Eliza Huguenin and her family begin to appear in Savannah and Chatham County records in 1824, when her husband John purchased at auction 1400 acres known as the Queensberry and Ashton Plantations. According to his will, they had three children, Edward 0., Eugenia Ann, and Malvina Henrietta. When John died in 1835, Eliza apparently took over Management of the plantation, judging froM the papers of his estate. Thirteen years later she bought a house in town on Liberty Street. Her will was probated in February 1871, leaving her estate to one grandchild, whose Mother was still living and contested it on the basis of her father's will.
