Typical of the large river plantation of the mid-nineteenth century, the 1,647 acres were located on both the Caddo and Bossier sides of the Red River. Beginning in 1839, Cash Point Plantation was successively owned by several large land owners of the region: Pickett, Gilmer, and Sentell. In 1893, Mattie Sentell came into possession of the 960 acres in Caddo Parish. It remained in the Sentell family until 1967, when portions were sold to the Franks-Duggan interests and the Steve Prator Family. The 100 acre pecan orchard was purchased by Judy and Bill McColgan in 2010.Topics. This historical marker is listed in these topic lists: Agriculture • Settlements & Settlers.
