<p>I have found Elsie - she is not mulatto.</p>
<p>However, I have had no luck finding any documentation of my grandmother and her two brothers.</p>
<p>No birth certificates, baptism records....</p>
<p>I will keep searching.</p>

Hi Claudia,<br />
Wow, that is quite a discovery and it is generous of you to go back through your notes and share what you learned. Thank you so much!<br />
I hope this leads to future discoveries for you, and for African Americans who share your family's history.<br />

Hi Kathleen,<br />
Thank you so much for posting here. If you should find any documents in the course of your family research that name slaves, it would be wonderful for you to share them!<br />

Hi Toni,<br />
Went back over my notes. William Harrison Fitzgerald actually bought and sold slaves as an occupation. There is quite a bit about him in the book "My Dear Jane" by Margaret J Kennard. It's a rather rare book. But what a find! Not all of the info is accurate. My ancestor Charles Carroll was erroneously called Robert in it but otherwise I'm quite pleased with it.

Hi...I recently came across an ancestor of mine, Alfred Plummer, who was born in North Carolina in 1823. He apparently became a slave owner (according to the slave schedules) and owned approx. 20 slaves. I don't know much more than that. It's such a shame that there were no names listed..just numbers. He died in Arkansas after the civil war so, I would like to know more. Hopefully he freed all 'his' slaves!

I've discovered that my ancestor Abner Averitt from Early Co GA had a number of slaves on the 1860 census. And I believe William Harrison Fitzgerald from Pittsylvania Co, VA was a slave owner as well. I don't know much more than this other than information on the census records on ancestry.com. William's daughter Elizabeth (Bettie) Calland Fitzgerald married Charles Carrollton Carroll who was a confederate in the Civil War.

I'm just beginning. I know that my family has a Kay-Mattison connection originating in Andersen South Carolina. My great grandfather was Jerry I. Kay (b. mid 1800's). He married a Mattison and had 11 children. When she passed he married Leela Smith and had one child, Columbus Kay. Jerry I. Kay relocated to Conway Ark. I don't know his mother, father or siblings' names.

I recently discovered that my great grandmother, Elsie Simpson, was probably mulatto. She was born in 1862 and had three children with Luther B Dickerson in Nicholasville, Jessamine County, KY. The children were born between 1888 and 1892. The Dickerson's owned slaves, I'm not sure when, but their house has slave quarters. I have her death certificate which lists her father as, "Unknown Simpson, born in Scotland". Her mother is listed as, "Unknown, born in USA".<br />

I have been searching for several years and cannot find her or the children in any census before 1920. No births, no baptisms, no marriage records.<br />
I have found a lot of Simpsons. but no Elsie born around 1862. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
