Duncan F. Kenner

KENNER, Duncan F., planter, born in New Orleans in 1813; died there, 3 July, 1887. He became a wealthy sugar-planter, served for several terms in the Louisiana legislature, and was a member of the State constitutional conventions of 1845 and 1852, presiding over the latter. He was a member of the Confederate congress, and chairman of its ways and means committee, and in 1864 was sent by Jefferson Davis as special commissioner to England and France, to secure the recognition of the southern Confederacy. Much of his property was confiscated on the capture of New Orleans in 1862, but at his death he was again a millionaire. He was fond of horses, and owned one of the largest stock-farms in the United States.
