I have a slave owner in Platte County, Missouri by the name of Aquilla Hollingsworth Deaver. He married Lucy Miller in 1841, in Clay County, Missouri. Is it possible that he is a part of your family? I'm looking for more information on him. He was the owner of my second and third great grandmothers.
