Have you tried looking at the 1855 and 1860 Slave Schedules which listed the owner and then itemized by sex and age each slave owned. They are by counties. FHC probably has them if your local library does not have the census records for SC. Even if the names are not given on these schedules it may help you to discover exactly how many slaves the Heyward did own and perhaps then the Freeman Association will have further information which will provide marriage record, or work contact, etc. Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: <ClubTweety@aol.com> To: <SCROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 24, 2001 6:40 AM Subject: Re: [SC] HEYWARD > Would any of those books happen to list slave names?
