EDGARD, La. Frederick Baconnais was born during the peak of the sugar cane harvest season at the Evergreen Plantation in Edgard, Louisiana. At 5 a.m. on Dec. 12, 1852, he drew his first breath, according to historic records. His mother, Victorine, a house slave at Evergreen, was 18 years old.
He was only two when she died.
But Baconnais would name one of his daughters Victoria in remembrance of his mother.
Their stories are among several recounted through photos and narratives in Evergreen’s Ancestor Project.
