TREGRE - MILTENBURGER - BURKE |
Seeking information on the Star Plantation. It was located in St. John the Baptist Parish. Louis TREGRE was the original owner. This plantation was near the San Francisco Plantation. The Star Plantation was unlawfully seized near the end of the Civil War. Apparently Louis Tregre's Factor A. MILTENBURGER was involved in seizure. A suit was filed by Louis' daughter Ms. Thomas BURKE as her father owed her for some notes she held against the plantation. During the suit A. MILTENBURGER counter sued stating he was the owner of the Star Plantation that he had purchased at sheriff sale in June 1865, which was ordered by the U S Provisal Court. This case went on the the Louisiana State Supreme Court then the U S Supreme Court. [posted online 2/24/2012] |
