Maunsel White

Colonel Maunsel White as depicted in DeBow's Review, 1853.

Maunsel White (c. 1783 – December 17, 1863) was an Irish born American Episcopalian politician, merchant, and entrepreneur. He is remembered for promoting the use of peppers and peppery sauces – a brand of which his descendants still manufacture today. Although he is usually associated with New Orleans, he also resided in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, where he owned Deer Range Plantation, in addition to three other plantations, with 191 slaves in 1850.[1]
