favorsdd — 2009-10-21 00:10:56Z

I have no further information. I transcribed this along with a few other estate records from microfilm that was posted online. This is not a name that I am researching. Go to "Our Georgia Roots" The person there posted microfilm copies from Wilkes County Georgia although I don't think she is reseaching this name either.

Re: Slave names.... question

Joyce347 — 2009-07-14 16:18:45Z

Slavery officially was ended in 1865 so your ancestor would probably not be listed as a slave. Your next step would be to locate him on the 1870 census record. He would be about 5 years old and hopefully living with his parents - taking you back another generation. You will need to know what county Aberdeen, MS is in. My own line is from Lamar County Alabama - just across the state line. Aberdeen may be in Lowndes County or Monroe County MS. Locate that 1870 census record. Also, check the World War 1 Draft Registration for him. It was taken in 1917 and he may be listed there. You can contact me at leafshaker2@yahoo.com for more help. My name is Joyce. Also, check out www.africanaheritage.com for links to research sources in Mississippi.
Good Luck,

Does anyone know if any of these surnames were slave names? I'm not sure if these are the names of slave owners or not. I have been doing research on these families for some time now and like many researchers have hit brick walls. If anyone has information on them please send me an email at dcmonroe@verizon.net.

Re: Slave names.... question

tjtgirl — 2009-07-13 04:02:53Z

I know this has nothing to do with your post/reply, however, you seem knowledgble regarding your african ancestry. I'm just starting out and the only information I have is that my Gr-Gr-Grandfather was born in April of 1865 in Aberdeen, MS. I keep hitting walls, I don't know where to turn. When I look at slave lists it only states sex and age...how do you read these things? I hate to sound like a novice...but novice I am!!! Where do I begin? No one in the family can help and seem to have hit the same wall. Can you offer any suggestions or advice?

Thanks,

Don't know what happened to Marion. Aron had my grandmother with Johnnie Mae Moore(Morre) in 1923 in1924 Johnnie Mae killed Aron.
Do you have any Moores, all I know about her is her name and that her mother was half Indian? lol, anyways they did say she had long hair all the way down her back.

I,m sorry, but I don't know anything about them. I was researching Connor Dowd when I found the names of the slaves he owned and having heard how hard it is to research black families, I posted this in case it would help someone. If I run across anymore information, especially on African American Dowd's from Kentucky I will be sure to post the information here.

The names of Connor Dowd's slaves North Carolina

jth1949 — 2009-07-16 03:21:53Z

I just received a packet papers pertaining to the petitions of Connor Dowd, a Tory from Moore County, North Carolina. In his petition for reparations, he names his 11 slaves.
The men were London, Jack (listed as a prime slave), Cuffy (listed as a prime slave), Israel (listed as a prime slave and tanner). According to an article written by Carolyn Watterson Troxler, Israel was in charge of the bark mill and the tanning operation. Then there were the boys, Joe about 16, Newburk about 10, Bob about 6. 1 woman named Gumbo and the girls, Sue about 14, Beck about 10 and Molly about 8.

I hope this helps someone looking for ancestors,

Slave Data for Georgia now available online

adamadolphus1 — 2009-07-20 14:55:03Z

A valuable new resource for slave data in Georgia is now available online at http://milledgeville.galileo.usg.edu/milledgeville/search
This website was created by the Digital Library of Georgia (DLG) and contains the complete available editions of eleven (11) Milledgeville Georgia historic newspapers dating from 1808 thru 1922 (not all, but those that were printed within this time frame). At this site, you will have access to the names of thousands of African Americans who were enslaved. These African Americans were named to be sold, hired out or listed as runaways. The holders were also listed as well as the many counties within the state that placed advertisements in these newspapers. The advertisements have to do with sheriff sales, estate administrator sales, estate executor sales, runaways searched for, and runaways captured and jailed in various counties within the state of Georgia and beyond. The site is free, but requires a free downloadable plug-in to view the pages (djVu). The pages load readily and a search feature is available. A researcher will have to adjust their searches. You can limit your search to a single newspaper title or a single year. You can further limit your search by a particular county or a particular name both slave and holder). You may have to experiment with the various search options to meet you personal needs. The Georgia State Legislature mandated that all slave transactions in the state had to be advertised by law for certain periods of time in the official publications of the state which were headquartered in Milledgeville, Georgia. This is a microfilm record. You may get lucky and find what you are searching for.

I haven't run across those names yet, have 150+ documents to read and the going is slow due to poor handwriting. I've ordered more records to go beyond what I currently have 1838 to 1857. I have a few Evans and Starks on my family tree! What are the full names?
