Philip Minor Cuney Sr. (March 15, 1807 - January 8, 1866) was a soldier, plantation owner and politician in Texas. He served in the House of Representatives of the Republic of Texas in 1843, and then in the Texas State Senate from 1846. His surname was originally spelled Cuny with the 'e' being added around the time he joined the legislature and his white descendants tended to use the original Cuny while Cuney was used by his black descendants. He owned the large Sunnyside Plantation south-east of Hempstead and owned over 100 slaves. By 1860 he owned 115 slaves making him one of the largest slave owner in Texas. He not only grew cotton like most plantations but also grew sweet potatoes and corn and later moving into dairy with 700 dairy cows.
