What I would like to know is why and how he got from Virginia to Mississippi..then what black cemetery in St Louis he's buried. His son Thomas is also burned in a black cemetery in St Louis but don't know the name of it either might be the same one. Going back that far past 1870 is difficult with slavery happening and usually no surnames to go by either. I'm not even sure how to go about this research since I don't know where in VA to start. any suggestions would be appreciated on how to go about looking for this information. sometimes the surname is also spelled Halloway thank you Shap Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
