Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg//HSB.2ACE/219.1244 Message Board Post: I have recently visited my home in Carvers Creek, NC and have learned that my great great grandfather Joshua (slave) was sold by William Henry Beatty to J. B. Brown on 9 November 1844. Joshua was sold at the age of 28 or 29 years old. If you have any info pertaining to the slave rolls on the Beatty/Gibbs Plantation once known as Pleasant Retreat, please share them with me and I will share all info that I have retrieved up to this point. Joshua should have been born around 1816. I am looking for info pertaining to his parents who were also slaves on this plantation. Please e-mail me or contact me by land line 412-469-2412.
