Mary Bennett Cane was born in New Hampshire and arrived in the pine forests of what later became Shreveport in the 1830’s. Mary's husband William Bennett established a trading post in 1832 at the northwest corner of Commerce and Shreve Square, which became the Shreve Town trading company in 1836. Mary herself became a businesswoman and landowner, and her Elysian Grove Plantation on the eastern bank of the Red River formed the earliest lots of the City of Bossier City.
