Michel Douradou BRINGIER in the 1830's acquired from Seaman
FIELD, his brother-in-law, the place then and later known as
“Melpomene,” situated in Orleans Parish. This great edifice was
latterly completely surrounded by city dwellings, and when the
city was built up around, it occupied the center of a square
formed by Carondelet, Baronne, Terpsichore and Melpomene
Streets, but originally it had been built as a country house,
the nearest dwellings or buildings being on Canal Street, then
the upper boundary of New Orleans, and about a mile away. When
as late as the 1830's New Orleans lay off in the distance.
“Visiting the city” was the usual expression employed when any
occupant of the place spoke of going to Canal Street or beyond.
Carrollton was reached by long drives on country roads and under
out-spreading forest trees.
Michel Daradou BRINGIER d. at Memphis, 13th March, 1847. He had
built a family vault at Donaldsonville, and he was the first of
the family to be buried in it. He was survived by three sons and
six daughters.
His eldest son was Marius Ste. Colombe BRINGIER of “White Hall”
and “Houmas,” m. his cousin, Augustine TUREAUD, and was father
of Marius Ste. Colombe BRINGIER, Jr.,
his second son, succeeded to “The Hermitage,” and m. his cousin
Stella TUREAUED, leaving several daughters and four sons,
Amedee, Trist, Browse and Du Bourg.
[p.117] Michel Douradou BRINGIER'S eldest daughter, m. Hore
Browse TRIST, of Bowden plantation, kinsman and ward of Thomas
JEFFERSON, and became mother of Nicholas Browse TRIST, Lieut.
Julian Bringier TRIST, killed at the battle of Murfresboro;
Nicholas Philip TRIST and Wilhelmine TRIST, who m. Col. Robert
WOOD, nephew of Jefferson DAVIS and gd. son of President TAYLOR.
The second daughter of Michel Douradou BRINGIER, namely Louise,
bestowed her hand upon Martin GORDON, Jr. to whom were born many
daughters and an only son, Martin GORDON, who d. vita patris.
Nanine, the third daughter, m. Duncan Farrar KENNER, Confederate
States Congress, having issue, George KENNER and two daughters,
the second of whom survives, Rosella, relict of Gen. Joseph
Lancaster BRENT.
Aglea, the fourth daughter, m. her cousin, Benjamin TUREAUED, of
Tezcuro, and left no male posterity.
Myrthe, the fifth daughter, m. Gen. Dick, TAYLOR, of Fashion
plantation, President TAYLOR'S only son, and was survived by
three daughters, two of whom intermarried with the STAUFFER
family of New Orleans.
The youngest daughter of Douradou BRINGIER, Octavie BRINGIER,
became the wife of Gen. Allen THOMAS, of Dalton, Maryland;
lately deceased, and one time United States Minister to
Venezuela, their issue being four sons."
“White Hall” in the first half of the half century passed
temporarily out of the possession of the BRINGIERS. It was sold
to Gen. Wade HAMPTON, gd. father of Gen. Wade HAMPTON of
Confederate fame, 1825, by Michel Douradou BRINGIER. On the 5th
of February, 1848, it was repurchased from the heirs of General
HAMPTON by Mme. Aglae Du Bourg BRINGIER, widow of the above
mentioned Michel Daradou BRINGIER, and continued in the BRINGIER
family (afterwards being the property of her son, Marius Ste.
Colombe BRINGIER) until some years after the Civil War.
“Melpomene” on the death of Mme.Dubourg BRINGIER, in 1878, came
into the hands of her son-in-law, Duncan F. KENNER, and not long
afterwards the dwelling was demolished and the ground
surrounding it was divided into lots, and now occupied by rows
of modern city houses.
The following quaint account of “White Hall” is from the pen of
Abbé DE LA SEICHARDIER, being here freely translated from the
original French:
“On the borders of the Parishes of St. James and Ascension,
seated picturesquely on the left bank of the great river, was
the remarkable plantation of the BRINGIER family. The golden
mark of luxury and opulence was stamped upon the place. One saw
it in the decorative wrought-iron fence which inclosed the
splendid plantation; in the tastefully laid out gardens and in
the rare plants and exotic shrubs which they contained. It
appeared in the fanciful scenery of a park stocked with game and
in the lovely and spacious ponds filled with choice fish.
“Sadness was not supposed to enter this abode of delight. It was
no doubt for this reason that the color scheme everywhere was
white. The princely residence of the planter was white and so
were all the dependencies of the place.
“White Hall” was in a constant state of animation. Visits
succeeded visits and feasts succeeded feasts. It was the chosen
rendezvous of fashion, of tourists and of [p.118] strangers of
renown . . . . Jefferson College, St. Michel Convent, the post
office clustered, so to speak, about ‘BRINGIER la Maison
Blanche.’
“The Villa absorbed the interest of the entire community, and
was called the ‘Capital of St. James.’ But Solomon has said
‘Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.’ Time passed, and what
remains of the delicious Creole abode, so hospitable and so
charming in its various aspects? A shadow, a memory, a name. The
boast of the banks of the Mechacebe (Mississippi) is no more.
The nymphs and shouts of laughter are fled from this Eden, and
the high weeds have conquered their former ground. Indeed,
already the heedless ‘settler’ has arrived and erects here on
all sides his tent where arose ‘La Maison Blanche’ in all its
splendor.
“One day–about the year 1804, if my information is exact–Monsier
DE MARIGNY, the emigrant of 1795, arrived at ‘White Hall’ on an
unexpected visit. Three illustrious personages accompanied the
old chevalier, the Count DE BEAUJOLAIX, the Duke DE MONTPENSIER
and the Duke D'ORLEANS. The descendants of ‘Monsieur,’ brother
of Louis XIV, were received with that unalloyed courtesy and
frank hospitality which are a proverbial characteristic of the
Louisianian. Fetes were given in their honor, which was most
conspicuous among all was a great Indian chief shod in moccasins
of beaver skin and wearing a mantle of the inner bark of the ash
tree. He was the friendly Mico of the Houmas. The French princes
did not omit to visit him in his savage hut. . . . .”
IV. Manuscript volumes, 1826-1900 (box 4, range F:9)
"Manuscript volumes consist of Michel Doradou Bringier's journal
(1826-1847), in French, containing accounts of Hermitage
Plantation, description of Houmas Plantation, sale of sugar and
molasses, Bringier genealogy, and financial accounts; ledgers
(1867-1871, 1900) containing business and personal accounts; a
plantation diary (ca. 1867-ca. 1869) of L. E. Tureaud describing
flooding, weather, crops at Bagatelle Plantation; letter book
containing outgoing correspondence of Mather D. Bringier,
merchant of Burnside, Louisiana, concerning purchase of
bicycles, typewriters, and firearms; a scrapbook (1860,
1880-1883) containing a collection of postmarks; and several
notebooks containing poetry, notes and drawings."

Thomas Jefferson Edwards emigrated to Pennsylvania, from R.I. at
the age of 31. Originally they lived in a log cabin in "Deep
Hollow", the Tamarack Swamp area, where the Scranton Court House
now stands. It was probably there that Joseph Edwards one of
his sons, was born in 1842.
They had twelve children, 6 sons and 6 daughters in the family.
Eventually they moved into Wayne County, and established the
farm where the Edwards family cemetery is located. Lived in
Madisonville, Hamlin, PA.
Three brothers migrated to PA:
Richard Edwards b. 4/8/1791, married Secenia Pue, 3 daughters, 6
sons;
Thomas Edwards b. 4/2/1806, m. Eliza Carter, 9 or 10 children;
Joseph Edwards b. 11/25/1795, m. Mary Wight in (approx) 1813 in
Abington.
