I have just posted on the Archives web page for Rowan Co. NC a listing of my John Pool's slaves from an account book 1832-43. These 15-20 names turned up in my research of wills, loose estate papers, etc. It is very difficult for African American researchers to find their ancestors and that is why I posted the slaves names (first names only, that is all I had). Since my ancestor's slaves lived in Rowan Co., NC, that is where I posted them on the internet (Rowan Archives page). I would urge all of you who have turned up a name here and there in your research to do the same thing I did. I have received thanks from several researchers of their slave ancestors for my efforts. To find out how to do this, you should contact the coordinator of the web page in the county where your ancestor lived and give all possible information--sale of slaves for instance. I know the coordinator of Rowan Co. NC prefers this information to be in a Word document saved in Plain text format, rather than the refular Word formatting (not hard to do at all). There might be a site somewhere on the internet where slaves' names can be entered all in one place, but I haven't found it yet. However, most modern day researchers have an idea of the state and perhaps the country where their ancestors came from. Betty Pace
