Joseph, I am the individual that did a lookup for you threw Jan. If I can be of any assistance let me know. I don't think I can find anything else in my resources, but I do I live locally (Landis). I am only restricted by my children (I am a stay at home mom with no sitters). My heart has always gone out to African-Americans who want to know their ancestry. I am lucky to have a decent paper trail (in most cases anyway).

To my knowledge slaves retained only their first names & usually the 'owners' surname. That makes researching a true family unity virtually impossible. I have seen original lists of slaves at various historical places. All were listed by first name &/o nick name. Family members weren't even listed. If there is some kind of list out there I would be interested in it as well.
