Front View


Zephaniah's wife, Anna, often managed the plantation. Anna was purchased by Kingsley as a slave in 1806 when she was 13 years old. By 1811, Kingsley had given Anna and their three children their freedom. Anna continued to manage the plantation until the late 1830s when she and her children moved to Haiti to avoid the harsh racial laws enacted in Florida after its annexation by the United States. She did, however, later return to Florida to be near her daughters and grandchildren. She died in Florida in 1870.
