Margaret Gwin was the daughter of Rev. James Gwin and Mary Adair McAdam Gwin. Alexander de la Planche DuVal and Margaret Gwin Duval's Issaquena County plantation was known as Woodlawn and was located in the southwestern part of the county near Eustatia Plantation, and near Brunswick Plantation, that belonged to Margaret Gwin Duval's brother, Alexander Gwin. This plantation was frontage to the Mississippi River. On this plantation were married the beautiful daughters of the DuVal family, with the exception of the oldest two, who married in Nashville. Alexander died there on January 16, 1851, Mary Gwin Duval, continued the operation of the plantation. During the Civil War, shortly before the Battle of Vicksburg, the beautiful Woodlawn Plantation was sacked and pillaged by the invading armies of the north.
