Background
This page's purpose is to record the enslaved people owned by George Michael McIntosh Troup and attempt to connect them to their families. Also known as Vallambrosa Plantation.
History
Lower Turkey Creek Plantation is in Laurens Co., Georgia, (map see resource on page Hist. Markers) Just outside of Dudley, Georgia along Turkey Creek.
Lower Turkey Creek was first owned by Joseph Blackshear back in early 1800’s and was sold about two years after his death, about 1832. The plantation consisted of 1800 acres when George M Troup purchased it. It’s unsure whether the slaves of Lower Turkey Creek were also with the Plantation. After George’s death it was passed down to his daughter Oralie (Troup) Vigal (1813-1879). Oralie was commited to lunatic asylum after the death of her husband (Dr. John Vigal) and management of plantation went to her sister's son-in-law, Col. Robert P Wayne.
Plantation Owners
There is some dispute as to who inherited the plantation when Gov Troup died - his son, George, or daughter, Oralie. In 1860, it ended up with Daniel H B Troup.[1]
- Joseph Blackshear (1775-1830)
- George Michael McIntosh Troup (1780-1856)
- Oralie (Troup) Vigal (1813-1879)
- Daniel Heyward Brailsford Troup (1821-1870)
