"Some of the earliest settlers were patrician Creoles from New Orleans,
who built south of the lake. Jean Revlon built a large residence in
1853, which still stands and is now known as the Macdonell (sic) plantation."

How We Became Southerners:
In undated notes of Mary Katherine "Kitty" Clark (1892-1976), Kitty says John MacDonell and his wife Frances (Aunt Frank) lived in Ottumwa, IA, and he raised horses. John told the story that he met a man on a train one day... they talked...and he traded his car load of horses for a rice farm in Louisisana... When he did get to visit the rice farm, he called it Heaven. He had some trouble getting his wife and family to come there to live, but they did eventually. Until then he got my mother (Kitty's mother was Catherine Anne "Katie" MacDonell Clark, 1862-1942, by then a widow) to come to help him with the house and that's how we became Southerners.
