Dear List: I am searching for African American Chisholms, my story starts in Louisa County Virginia, my family was once owned by David Chisholme, Jr., David moved from Louisa County into Chester District, South Carolina around 1809/1810, along with him he took his slaves which included my great great great-grandmother Bridgett. In 1814 my great greaat grandfather Edward "Ned" chisholm was born, his father was unknown. By 1816 David Chisholme Jr. . was dead and the slaves were passed on to his brother Thomas and then to his wife after his death and then to Suprey Chisholme who was his nephew and twice his son-in law.Suprey died around February 1834 and there was an estate sale where fifty-two slaves were listed. They slaves were still in the Chisholme family as far as 1844. I find them again in Gainesville, Florida as early as 1855. I use the date 1855 because on the death certificate of my grandfather Thomas he was born there in October 1855 and his brother Henry was born there in June of 1856. I have been trying to find who brought them to Florida, did the slaves have to be registered as they passed different states. What have been the route that they traveled? Who did they belong to in Florida and where would I look. I have documents where they bought land, but I am missing a lot of information. Can anyone help me with this quest. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you. Antoinette J. Russell O Lord my God , in thee I put my trust....... Psalm 7:1
