The Homewood Plantation land was originally owned by Stephen Minor.  The land was probably bought by Robert Dunbar at around the same time he bought the adjoining Ivy Place (later known as Lansdowne Plantation).  The plantation would have then passed from Robert Dunbar to his daughter and her husband (Jane (Dunbar) and John Ferguson).  Then the plantation would have passed to Jane and John Ferguson's daughter and son-in-law - Ann (Ferguson) and David Hunt.<br />Homewood plantation was a wedding gift from David Hunt to his daughter Catherine Hunt and son-in-law William S. Balfour.  Catherine and William married in 1850.  They built one of the grandest mansions near Natchez on this plantation. A photo is at the following website.  Scroll down to the William S. Balfour section at http://www.rootsweb.com/~msissaq2/balfour.html  More photos are half-way down the page at:  http://www.geocities.com/twincousin2334/Natchez.html  Construction began in 1855 and lasted for five years until the mansion was finally completed]]></description>
