Coincoin, Pierre, and their children lived together for the next decade. This was a period of financial and familial stability, although Coincoin's three oldest children remained enslaved. As well as occupying herself with her children, Coincoin was probably in charge of running the plantation household, and given that Pierre was one of the wealthiest men in Natchitoches Parish, she probably had enslaved servants to undertake the heavier housework, and had very little or no contact with agricultural work.
