I am looking for a Nathan Bugg that was a slave. He was my ggg grandfather. Now, supposedly Nathan was owned by a Samuel Bugg, and then Samuel gave Quin Bugg (his son) Nathan. I am looking for any kind of info on Nathan, i.e., what plantation was he on, etc. Any help from you would be greatly appreciated. thank you Gwen

Anyone out there researching BUCKNER families in Claiborne Parish, LA? My ancestor was William Meredith BUCKNER, b: 1803 GA. He married Nancy S. Hawthorn in GA. This couple had most of their children in GA and then moved to LA where they had their youngest daughter, Elizabeth Emerline Buckner in 1851. Elizabeth married in Claiborne Parish in 1870 to Alvie Loranzo Dow Avery. Does anyone know when William Meredith Buckner died or where he is buried? I have not been able to find out much about this Buckner family and I'm hoping to find another Buckner researcher out there to work with.

Now therefore in consideration of the premises we Russel O. Beene, Robert M. Beene, Obadiah F. Beene, William Beene, Anna Foster and her husband Edwin Foster, Martha Jane Warren and her husband Reuben Warren being the premised to hereby bargain sell transfer and convey unto said Nancy Morgan the said slaves Jane and Harriet to have and to hold unto her the said Nancy for and during her natural life, subject to her own control and after her death then to her children and heirs of the body forever. Witness our hands and seals this 14th day of November A. D. 1849 Signed: Russel O. Beene, Robert M. Beene, Obadiah F. Beene, Reuben Warren, Martha Jane Warren, Edwin Foster, Anna (X) Foster, William W. Beene Elias W. Bryan, J. P. Recorded 14 November 1849 by William A.
