Hi, all, Is there such a thing as "slave records" in Rowan or Cabarrus Counties??? Jan

HeritageQuest has searchable Freedman's Bank records, which served African Americans (1865-1874). 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.

Cabarrus Genealogy Society has a book " Cabarrus County Tax Assessments, 1860 and 1863". Since slaves were taxed in those assessments, they are listed. The Cabarrus county list is the only known to still exist.
