Every family should have one of him - and I think one would suffice. What was his name? There is nothing listed on your Formyduval in The Huguenots of South Carolina.

Anything eye opening on them. I'm still looking for a real exciting relative on my side. Even the womanizing and boozing on my side were not colorful. They were just drunks and adulters. Now my husbands side is full of fun. I'm following one who was a civil war hero. He came home and moved his aunts house slave in and had 5 children. He made big bucks so that in the 1930's The Bank of Monroeville (Alabama that is) asked him to buy them out . He did. His children were all well educated. He seemed to function well in the black and white communities between 1860 and 1935(when he died.) Why did the KKK not come after him? His house was a standard appearing farmhouse of the day but behind it was a covered breezeway to another house called the bedroom house. It had 6 bedrooms nothing else. I got this from talking with his grandaughter who was 25 when he died and in the room with him. The stories go on and on on him. He had a Lincoln car which he liked but he disliked President Lincoln so he had his car painted confederate grey. He left 6 siblings 75000 dollars (that is almost a million today) in 1935 when he died. He left his black wife 1000 acres and the new Buick car. The neat thing about this is that all the tales I've heard about him turn out to be true. Now that is a fun ancestor and connections to him come right out of the middle of Colly Swamp. Kay

Listmembers, a Will WEST (who was enumerated as a free man of color) was enumerated 1800 Bladen County. I have not been able to locate him on later filmed census of Bladen Co. If there is anyone researching this man/family, please contact me. I welcome any suggestions/sources/information for learning more about Will WEST and his family. Thanks.

If anyone on the list has access to the 1860, 1870 and 1900 original census images I need a look up please. I need the family of G.W. Jackson who had a daughter by the name of Mahala. She shows in all three, but with conflicting ages. She cannot be 2 in 1860, 1 in 1870 and then 23 in 1900. The above ages are from the book versions of the census. I need the original to confirm if anyone has it. I would really appreciate it.

Yes Dee, I have all of those names. Could I please have the information on them if you have the time? I would appreciate it. It is not my direct line, but a branch off of it. At least the Allen and the John Weathersby is. The John Sr. and John Jr. are my direct line. Allen is the brother to my Elias "Lars" which is where the split occurs. I have some holes on the John Weathersby and the Allen line. Maybe this source will fill them in. Thanks again for all your help.
