Turnbull, Daniel, 1796-1861

Daniel Turnbull was a successful Louisiana planter, primarily of cotton plantations. He founded Rosedown Plantation in West Feliciana Parish, La., in 1835 where he resided with his wife, Martha Hilliard Barrow Turnbull. An avid horticulturist, she assembled a large collection of botanical specimens that she planted in extensive gardens at Rosedown. Their children were James, Daniel, William, and Sarah. The Bowman and Turnbull families were associated through the marriage of Sarah Turnbull and James P. Bowman, the son of Eliza Pirrie and William R. Bowman, in 1857. James P. Bowman produced cotton and sugar on Frogmoor and Grosse Tete plantations in Pointe Coupee Parish, La. Sarah T. Bowman inherited Rosedown and other plantations from her family and bequeathed them to her four daughters at her death.
