Hello. My name is Irene. I am trying to find old photos, names of slaves, stories, and any other record that you may have.

Unfortunately, several of my ancestors were slaves. Based on the 1860 Slave Census, I know that George Dameron (G.D) Staton (Sr. and Jr.) and Thomas W. Staton were slave-owners. Since they lived in the same area that my family grew up in and my family took the Slave-owner’s name, I am 99.9% positive that I have the right slave-owners names. My family started off spelling their name as Staton. It has been changed throughout the years: Staton, Statton, Statten, Staten

Please do not worry about politically correct.

Sincerely,
Irene
