I have a Henry Sullivan (b. England) who married Frances Texada (b. Louisiana, 1826) in 1843. Frances was the daughter of Joseph Texada and Eliza Glenn. Is this the same couple? If so, I have a little info.

I do not think there is a connection. Mine is Henry Clay Sullivan Born 1849, Cheneyville, Rapides, La, and Georgia Texada, Born 1852, Cheneyville, Rapides, La (Georgia's Father was Lewis Emanual Texada, mother was Pleasance Hunter all from La.
I am interessted in the Henry Sullivan if he had anything to do with a Martha Williams

Okay, I do have Lewis Emanuel and Pleasance Hunter Texada but I don't have a Georgia for them. Should I? I have their children as Lucy, Lewis Jr., Wm Frank, John A. Henry Watkins Allen, Susan, Margaret (Maggie) and Mary.

Thanks,
Dianna

I'm researching my wife's Sullivan ancestors from Cheneyville. White Sullivans from Virginia owned plantations near Cotile before the Civil War, and owned Loyd's Hall Plantation in the reconstruction era, fathering numerous mixed-race offspring with their slaves and (post-war)laborers. (Most of the Sullivans in the census records of that era are shown as mulatto or black). I'm trying to trace both sides, and any information would be greatly appreciated.

My great-grandparents were Henry Clay Sullivan and Georgia Texada Sullivan of Cheneyville.I can't find alot on Georgia Texada's family yet. Henry was born in Virginia to Martha Williams(listed as mulatto); he also had a brother Robert Adams(I have a close cousin here through the Adams). I assumed that Henry's father was white in Virginia but I don't have any information on him. Henry and Georgia had several children,most of whuch migrated from Louisiana. All of them are listed as mulatto or colored- depends on the census/word in vogue at the time; in Louisiana at that time those lines were pretty blurry anyway. I have some pix I need to post still. They are buried in Edgefield Cemetary for blacks. I went to Cheneyville as a child with my father Joseph Sullivan (deceased) to visit. I know about Lloyd Hall but have not been there. I understand it still functions as a B&B(haunted) and a working sugar farm (owned by another family). I plan to head that way to see for myself since it's not far.
