One case in point was a former slave of a french plantation owner who freed his former mistress/slave. She was given land. She subsequently bought slaves and ran the plantation in order to obtain enough money to free her enslaved family members.

I think you are talking about my GGF X 8 Louis Juchreau de St. Denis a minor character of history whose exploration and trading in Texas caused the alarmed Spanish government to establish a town in Texas populated by Canary Islanders called San Antonio and the mission of San Antonio de Valero, of course we know that mission better by its more famous name, the Alamo.
