Hopefully someone is still watching this message board. According to my family history, my great, great grandmother was a slave on a plantation in Buzzard Roost, Alabama (near Cherokee, Al) owned by David C. Oates.
David C. Oates was the apparent owner of a vast amount of real estate in what is now West Cobb County, GA. For some time prior to 1865, he owned at least 1,700 acres of land in the Buzzard Roost, Alabama. This expansive land area was known as Newport Plantation.
Looks as though the info is related.
