Yesterday I added slave documents to Frank and Juda Cleage’s timelines. Without these additions, there would only be the 1866 Marriage record and the 1870 Census. I have been unable to find them after 1870. I am still hopeful that more information will become available.

good research
hard work
still not free!
gem!
More free than when we were left to wives in somebody’s will.
Excellent research & documentation Kris!
Thanks Luckie.
Wonderful stuff! 🙂
Great timelines. You are giving them voices but what a shame they disappear after 1870. I want to growl every time I read of them being handed around and treated like property, which of course they were at the time. I am gnashing my teeth.
