SIGNIFICANCE AND A CIVIL WAR AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPE
Martha Temkin
In 1795, the Vincendiere Family, a French-Caribbean family, developed a plantation of over 700 acres and called the plantation L' Hermitage.
The Vincendieres first settled in the town of Frederick two years before the purchase of the property that became L' Hermitage. They immigrated to the United States to escape a slave uprising in Santo Domingo and the chaos created by the French Revolution. Victoire, the nineteen-year old eldest daughter of the family, owned the plantation. It is somewhat of a mystery why the eldest daughter, as opposed to the father , mother, or brother in this family , became the head of a household and owner of record. The U. S. Census of 1800 listed her as the head of a household of 18 and the owner of 90 slaves. This is one of the highest slave populations in Frederick County and the entire state for this period. The number of slaves on the farm suggests she attempted to set up a plantation style operation, perhaps similar to the property in Santo Domingo. Over the next 20 years, the number of slaves owned by Victoire declined to 48, indicating a major change in the management of the plantation.
While Victoire never married or had children, local tradition states that her nephew, Enoch Louis Lowe was born and spent his childhood at L'Hermitage. He later served as the Governor of Maryland from 1851-54. Tradition claims that General Lafayette visited the Vincendiere's at the farm in 1824. Victoire owned and operated the farm until 1827. She then maintained a household in Frederick until her death in 1854.

ENOCH LOUIS LOWE
Enoch Louis Lowe ( August 10, 1820 - August 23, 1892 ) was the 29th Governor of Maryland in the United States from 1851 to 1854.
EARLY LIFE
_________
He was the only child of BRADLEY SAMUEL ADAMS LOWE and Adelaide Bellumeau de la Vincendiere. He was born on August 10, 1820 in the manor-house of The Hermitage, on the Monocacy River, Frederick County, Maryland. At thirteen he entered Clongowes Wood College, Ireland, where he was schoolmates with Thomas Francis Meagher. Three years later he matriculated at Stonyhurst College, England, where he was friends with Francis Mahony and Miles Gerard Keon, the novelist. He graduated first in his class in 1839. Studying with Judge John A. Lynch of Frederick, he was admitted to the bar in 1842.
FAMILY
In 1844, Lowe married Esther Winder Polk, of Somerset County, Maryland, who was a relative of James Knox Polk. They had eleven children of whom seven survived: Adelaide, Victoria, married E. Austin Jenkins, Anna Maria, religiense of the Sacred Heart, died 1889; Paul Emelius, Vivian Polk ; Victoria Vincendiere, married John M. Stubbs ; Enoch Louis ; Esther Polk ; Mary Gorter, married Francis de Sales Jenkins.
POLITICAL CAREER
Lowe was a member of the Maryland House of delegates in 1845, a member of the Democratic National Convention in 1856 and a U. S. Presidential elector in 1860. Lowe took the oath of office as Governor of Maryland on January 6, 1851. The most important events of his administration were the adoption of the Maryland Constitution of 1851, the completion of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to the Ohio River and a reduction of the state tax rate from 25 to 15 cents on a $100.
CIVIL WAR and LATER LIFE
He supported the Confederacy during the Civil War. During the war, he lived at Richmond, Virginia and Milledgeville, Georgia. After the war, he moved to Brooklyn , New York, joining the law firm of Richard F. Clarke and W. H. Morgan.
He is mentioned in the song " Maryland, My Maryland" which later became the state anthem.
He died at St. Mary's Hospital , Brooklyn on August 23, 1892. He is buried at Saint John's Cemetery in Frederick, Maryland.
ASSESSMENT
He was, perhaps the greatest stump speaker of his day --- Few young men ever had a more brilliant career in this state that Enoch Louis Lowe, --- He had the advantage of collegiate training abroad, with which was combined a pleasing address, winning speech and clearcut State's rights, patriotic principles.
James McSherry, Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals of Maryland, writing to a member of his family, paid this tribute to Lowe's memory :
"The superb attainments of your father as a forensic and popular orator were perhaps never equalled by anyone who ever lived in this country."

CAT'S NOTES:
No buriel site for Bradley Lowe, or for his parents either, but they are probably together somewhere in Maryland. Had unremarkable life as a farmer, after his first marriage was annulled. seems to have married again and had children. Son Enoch became the most famous, becoming Governor of Maryland at a young age. More research is needed.

More research is needed.

SIGNIFICANCE AND A CIVIL WAR AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPE
Martha Temkin
In 1795, the Vincendiere Family, a French-Caribbean family, developed a plantation of over 700 acres and called the plantation L' Hermitage.
The Vincendieres first settled in the town of Frederick two years before the purchase of the property that became L' Hermitage. They immigrated to the United States to escape a slave uprising in Santo Domingo and the chaos created by the French Revolution. Victoire, the nineteen-year old eldest daughter of the family, owned the plantation. It is somewhat of a mystery why the eldest daughter, as opposed to the father , mother, or brother in this family , became the head of a household and owner of record. The U. S. Census of 1800 listed her as the head of a household of 18 and the owner of 90 slaves. This is one of the highest slave populations in Frederick County and the entire state for this period. The number of slaves on the farm suggests she attempted to set up a plantation style operation, perhaps similar to the property in Santo Domingo. Over the next 20 years, the number of slaves owned by Victoire declined to 48, indicating a major change in the management of the plantation.
While Victoire never married or had children, local tradition states that her nephew, Enoch Louis Lowe was born and spent his childhood at L'Hermitage. He later served as the Governor of Maryland from 1851-54. Tradition claims that General Lafayette visited the Vincendiere's at the farm in 1824. Victoire owned and operated the farm until 1827. She then maintained a household in Frederick until her death in 1854.
NOTE: BRADLEY SAMUEL ADAMS LOWE and ADELAIDE BELLUMEAU DE LA VINCENDIERE were married at L' Hermitage on 28 September 1819.
