Henry Chotard

Henry Chotard, often Maj. Chotard in print, was a 19th-century U.S. Army officer and plantation owner. He fought at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815 and remained closely aligned with Andrew Jackson for the rest of his life. Part of a circle of interrelated Natchez nabobs who lived in Adams County, Mississippi, Chotard owned mansions and plantations in Mississippi and Louisiana, and as of 1860, he enslaved 188 people.
