The family engaged in the Atlantic slave trade and owned African slaves at their plantations at Natchez, Mississippi (this was later known as Glenfield Plantation) and Trianon, New Orleans. Not including their former estate in New Orleans, by the 1780s, the Monsantos kept 51 slaves for their personal use and sold other enslaved African people to Louisiana plantations. A scioness of the family, Olga Méndez Monsanto (1871–1938) lent the family name to the Monsanto Chemical Company founded by her husband John Francis Queeny (1859–1933). (en)
