Sonja:
By now you may already have this info, but
in case you don't I will post it.
John D. Morrisette was a planter and a politician in Alabama and he had many slaves.
Unfortunately, I do not know the name of his
plantation, but I do have a list of slaves
that are shown on the inventory of his estate. Also, I know that soem of the slave
descendants used this surname, but often with
different spellings. I believe that Maricet
and similar variants were common. Anyway, here is the list of John D. Morrisettes slaves. I hope this helps.

The following lists appear in the Monroe County, AL Courthouse in Monroeville,
AL:
