There is a Colley farm on Current River just north of Current View, which was known as Buckskull during the Civil War. I haven't read the book, but does it mention Buckskull?

Hi--I'm new to the list. My cousin recently spoke with an elder in our Foy family who told this story: One of our ancestors, John B. Foy, lived on the Arkansas-Missouri border and "helped the Negroes cross the river". She meant the Current river . She said before the Civil War, Negroes weren't allowed in Ripley Co. and "Grandpa Foy's old folks helped sneak the Negroes into the county acdross the river and helped hide them until they could move on north out of the county." Does anyone know anything about this? Was there an underground railroad through Ripley Co.? And why weren't blacks allowed in the county then? Any help from anyone would be appreciated.

Don't know about the underground railroad but I do know that several families owned slaves in Ripley County prior to the Civil War. You can verify this by checking the Ripley County Census prior to the Civil War.

If someone out there has read it, do you know exactly the location the Colley place would have been from what is told in the book? Since it is a novel, a lot will be fiction, but many places named in the book still exist today. There are also paragraphs before each chapter about the Civil War that have references. I found the book very interesting, but am really wondering about the location.
