Coincoin was an independent black woman in a world dominated by white men. She adapted successfully to all the situations that life presented to her; from being the concubine and housekeeper of a rich white man, she became a profitable agriculturalist and businesswoman in her own right. She retained her African identity in her name, and used her earnings to liberate many members of her family and provide for their future. She raised her children to become some of the wealthiest and most respected people along the Cane River, and amongst the richest free people of color in the United States at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Many of Coincoin's descendants remained in Natchitoches Parish where they retained a distinct identity. At the beginning of the twenty-first century they were known as the Cane River Creoles. They played a key role in preserving the story of Coincoin, as have several historical novels, including Isle of Canes by Elizabeth Shown Mills (2004). Coincoin's exceptional life survives in local archives and Louisiana oral traditions, embodying the hard work, versatility, and family values shared by many black women of the colonial era.
