I guess there are many reasons for the change of name. As for cruelty and beatings, I do believe that there were some masters who did not beat their slaves. I would think that the majority would not beat them since the cost of slaves was very high. It would not make sense to risk the health and ability to work of that slave. I don't like to think of people being beaten or owned. I know it happened though and would think that any master who hired an overseer, would dictate the rules of discipline to his overseer. I would hope that if a man chose not to beat his slaves that he would fire any overseer who did. I've read many of the interviews with former slaves that were transcribed by the WPA. Some were mistreated and others dearly loved their owners considering themselves a member of that family. I read more than one account where the slave owner provided a wedding ceremony for their slaves who chose to marry with dress and reception. Surely there was kindness as well as cruelty. Not a proud time in history. In a message dated 1/16/2006 1:38:23 PM Eastern Standard Time, ray@atc.edu writes: You guessed it. I had always heard that slaves took their owners last name when they were freed. But he looked at several studies and found different results. If I remember correctly, on average only about 15% took their owner's name. I had not heard the reason you listed. My thought was that if your owner was cruel, you would not want to be reminded of it all the time by your name. My son extrapolated further and wondered if that meant that only 15% of the slaves had kind owners. Edward Ball says in "Slaves in the Family" he was told by the Balls that they never beat their slaves. In his research, he found that discipline was the job of the overseer, so the overseer beat the slaves, not the owner. The one time where he did find where a Ball beat a slave, seemed to be to protect her from a harsher beating by the overseer. I suppose the definition of 'kind owner' was relative to the times and best left to those who were slaves.

Genweb has always been a hodgepodge setup with each person coming up with their own server space, so many older sites have lapsed due to the old owners loosing interest or funding, and not turning over the files to others, I have, in the past, found a number of items in the different sites, but when I want to check again the book mark no longer finds the site. With rootsweb hosting the sites, hopefully this will not be true in the future, but there are still some not on roots web. Did you check rootsweb for the sites, or links to the sites. They are independent of Rootsweb, and managed by USGenWeb, their people still handle the Archives and are given the free space, for both the genweb state and county pages, plus the archives. But not all have switched, and there are still some not on Rootsweb, but if the GenWeb management can't find all the pages, then I wish you luck.

Go to rootsweb homepage, then to hosted sites - genweb archives, and check the different locations, state or county and see if they were placed in the archives. Most of the links should be there, even the ones not hosted by rootsweb. You may be able to find it with the search.

Hello: I have been searching the several URL's for South Carolina genweb submissions. I was looking for a document I posted sometime ago. Are these records only kept on the genweb page for a short while? If not, where do they disappear too? Why are there so many URL's for SC genweb files? I am trying to post a Colonial will. Really don't want to bother if the records will not remain Also if they are not connected for search through google and other search engines. To locate the several sites found I had to google "South Carolina genweb" and then up came the URL's. Also had to go to the county site and try to enter the genweb archives via a link. Will someone who really understands this confusion contact me? I certainly will appreciate a response. Tree Mother Trying to keep a New Years resolution to post to genweb documents for other searchers who may need them to knock down a brick wall.

Sorry for the cross-post, which was to the Greenville list also: Shortened, my genealogy is Martin MAHAFFEY, who was born circa 1728 in Ireland and emigrated to the US in 1768 on the ship "Chichester" He married Martha (maiden name unknown). They had a son John MAHAFFEY, Sr. who married Phebe Langley. In 1788/89, John Mahaffey (Sr.) was granted 670 acres near the Enoree River. A lovely housing development named Mahaffey plantation is being built there. It's east of Simpsonville, SC off Circle Road in the Cross Roads Baptist Church area. The Mahaffey family cemetery and their slave cemetery, I understand, "have been preserved and nicely landscaped." The developer told someone (Wanda Snow Franklin), who passed it on to me, that he may be interested in putting a historical marker at the Mahaffey cemetery and that he would like to know more about this Mahaffey family to give to people who have purchased or will purchase houses in the development. Note the website of the development is _www.MahaffeyPlantation.com_ (http://www.mahaffeyplantation.com/) . One of the children of John MAHAFFEY, Sr. and Phebe Langley was John MAHAFFEY, Jr. (born circa 1790, died 1868) who married Leah FOWLER between 1790 and 1795. One of their children was John Manning MAHAFFEY ( His grave stone shows his name as J. Manning MAHAFFEY in Ebeneezer Methodist Church cemetery in Greenville, SC). He married Frances Jones, with one of their children named Patillo Golightly MAHAFFEE, born 1845 in SC, but who died in March 1935 in Rutherford County, NC. (His grave marker and that of his wife Rose A. BROWN is on _www.findagrave.com_ (http://www.findagrave.com/) ). He was my greatgrandfather. He served in the Civil War, along with his father. One of their sons was Manning Brooks MAHAFFEE (born 1864 in SC and died in 1947 in NC), who married Ms. Johnnie FORTUNE. One of their children was Joseph Walter Mahaffee (1908-1987), my father, who was born in Rutherford County, NC. The is kind of a "Reader's Digest" summary of the info that I have. Census records have even had the last name shown as MAHATTY! I would love to have some more info on Martin Mahaffey, born in 1728 in Ireland, AND his ancestors. Also, I have heard that my greatgrandfather Patillo Golightly MAHAFFEE served time in the federal penitentiary in Atlanta after the Civil War. I would absolutely love to have his records from prison so that I could have more info on that incarceration and the reason for it. I heard it was for lynching, which would not make me proud...

Tony Burroughs is an excellent researcher and speaker. I heard him at a SC Genealogy Society annual meeting and he gave research tips that were good for black or white. Also he presented real data that contradicted some "common knowledge" about slaves and the source of their last names.
