They lived in Georgia for a time- in the early 1850's: the only info I have is that the slave owner and my ancestor married while in Georgia-it appears both married women whose names were "Mary"-the white female's maiden name was "Thompson" and her father owned and operated a ferry in an area near Atlanta They settled in the Huntsville district in Alabama in what is now Clay county Thanks for any assistance
