Ross, There is an African American researching the Oldham line, his ggrandparents came from KY and they are Oldham's. I don't know who's line they fall under, but this is very common. Alot of the African American's took their last name from the people that owned them. Hope this helps some. I have an address somewhere, will try to find it for you, he isn't on the internet but he is an elderly gentelmen in Chatham and you can write to him and his grandson helps him answer your questions. Just as soon as I go thru my things I will post his snail mail to you and you can write him with your questions. Shelia Oldham Wilburn
