I'm posting this to MO List since MO and KY have a lot of genealogy ties. Rootsweb.com has a "Kentucky: Slaves in Wills/Deeds Forum". We thank the folks who started this Forum. Someone has posted new info on Slaves in Wills, related to BERRYMAN. To read the message, go to: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Slaves/KyWill What's needed for MO and other places are websites specifically for descendants and others to post the names of people who were enslaved -- listed by name or surname, county and state, etc. -- where people may post these names and other clues we have on enslaved ancestors. Most of us who are descendants of enslaved families don't have early wills or deeds, but we do have names of some ancestors. We may not know what happened to them, but we know many of their names. KY Slaves in Wills/Deeds is a data-only board. Anyone may post info relating to enslaved persons listed or mentioned in Wills, Estate Papers, Deeds and other similar documents -- related to Kentucky. No queries are allowed on that website.

I'm looking for her and other enslaved Shackelfords; also for Shackelford, and other, slaveholders, in MO, KY, and maybe Virginia.
