<p>Just released my 4th book, Notes and Documents of Free Persons of Color, which is a 2nd Revised Edition. It is African American History, Non Fiction, and will be available at Amazon.com in Mid September. The first book was written about my ancestors, who were labeled Free Persons of Color in Colonial Virginia. The Chronicles include the Lives and Times of Mary and Patty Bowden, (Mulatto Indentured Servants to George Washington's Family), Charles and Ambrose Lewis (Revolutionary War Seamen and Soldiers), Rawley, Robert, John, Billy, and Jim Pinn (Fought at the Siege of Yorktown, Rawley and Robert were brothers, while John, Billy, and Jim, were sons of Robert). Mary Bowden's Grandmother was Lydia Hilliard (b. abt. 1690, Westmoreland County VA), a White Indentured Servant to William Monroe, the grandfather of President James Monroe. She bore a child by an unnamed negro male, who was Indentured to William Monroe Sr. for 30 years (because of her status as a Mulatto). <br/> <br/> The stories are told within the Historical Content of the characters, who lived Quasi-Free lives, at the mercy of the Laws of Colonial Virginia. The book is revised and updated and includes a section on DNA Testing, Genealogy Research, and a Glossary of terms. <br/> <br/> Also available at Amazon.com, Notes and Documents of Free Persons of Color 1st Edition, Pieces of the Quilt: The Mosaic of An African American Family, and Black Minqua The Life and times of Henry Green.</p>

<p>I’d like to know as much as I can about this family being Walter’s only connection.</p>
<p>It is possible they moved to Liverpool according to family stories, certainly there is a death in 1950 which could be Emily Jul-Aug-Sep 1950 , Liverpool South age 84. </p>
<p>I’d like to be able to find out at least if this is her and where she is buried so I could visit at somepoint.</p>
<p>Any other information would be a bonus.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Of course, I am curious as to who he was and if there was a connection at all to my family, although he was in house some ten years after Jane’s baptism and of course, i am aware that the surname in Lancashire is more common than it is elsewhere.</p>
<p>I thought I might find him on the 1841 Census but a name search does not come up and I am not familiar enough to know which sub district to search ( presume he lived close to ST Mary’s)</p>
<p>The church web site mentions him only in passing and I cannot find anymore about him anywhere. Normally there would be something in alumni records or an obituary somewhere.</p>
<p>Can anyone offer any help ?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Our last contact was in 1910 when he or she was close to or in the employment of the Count De La Vega Del Sella in Neuvas Asturias, Northern Spain.</p>
<p>I know a little about the count but really nothing about B Franklin.</p>

Henry Green is my second Great-Great Grandfather, to serve in the Civil War out of Pennsylvania. He was a Private, Co. B, 41 Reg't U.S. Col'd Infantry. He is described as black (he was brown skinned), and having an anchor in Blue on both forearms. Does anyone know what the anchors denote? He is described as 5'11 1/2 " tall, and 34 years of age. He was part of the Teamsters Brigade.<br></br>
