Saragossa was a plantation in Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi.
It is located on Saragossa Road in Natchez, Mississippi.[1]
The plantation was established in 1823 by Dr Stephen Duncan (1787-1867), the wealthiest cotton planter and the second largest slaveowner in the Antebellum South.[2] [3] Cotton was the main cash crop grown here.[2]
In 1835, William St. John Elliot purchased the plantation, who also owned D'Evereux.[2] [3] In 1849, it was purchased by William G. Conner, who sold it back to Elliot in 1852.[2] That same year, in 1852, it was purchased by Winfield Gibson.[2] Three years later, in 1855, it was purchased by Caroline Williams, who bequeathed it to her daughter, Anna (Williams) Smith, and her son-in-law, Walton Pembroke Smith.[2] [4] It then stayed in the Smith family until the 1970s.[2]
It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 24, 1980.
