My experience has been that the persons who share via this list are heads and hearts above some others. I came across information that might be very useful to our African American brothers and sisters, and recognizing this might have already hit the list and I might be "preaching to the choir," but, if not, go to Google and enter "Adams Co. Record Book." I have not explored this much further than the surface but it is said to be a newly(when, I don't know) discovered book about the sale of slaves in Adams Co. and the more valuable point is that it is said to identify many with both given and surnames. Past experience has suggested the interest/concern in Adams Co., is often of interest to Wilkinson, just so you know I haven't confused my list.

Thank you so much for the heads up on this information...I have indeed found information in other counties that pertain to my kinfolk in Wilkinson County. AA records from that time period are so scarce in my experience, any tip at all is a good one. Thanks again!
