True Blue Plantation

The True Blue Plantation was said to have been purchased by Plowden C J Weston in 1858 from Thomas P Alston. When Weston passed away he left his entire estate to wife Emily who wished to return to her homeland of England after her husband's death. At her late husband's request, Emily conveyed his entire estate to Plowden Weston's cousin, William St. Julien Mazyck, (in 1864?) for an annuity of £420 per year for the remainder of her life.^[2]

However, a list of the enslaved at the True Blue Plantation, listed as the Estate of F. M. Weston, was found in a book dated 1864, the list is undated.^[3] (see this list on the Slaves of Francis Marion Weston page)

By 1867 this plantation was owned or managed by Charles Alston Jr. as seen in the Freedmen's Bureau Labor Contracts.^[4]
