Anna, Probably a more interesting project for Morgan Co rather than Scott Co simply because Scott Co had so few slaves. Morgan Co had a significantly larger number. I believe, at the height of slavery, Scott Co only had at most 40 slaves. I'm not trying to make light of slavery in Scott Co--its wrong where ever and whenever it occurred. The records would be more abundant in Morgan Co and thus probably easier to draw familial relationships. I've seen very few references to slaves other than the federal slave schedules and some ancillary references within the federal population schedules (census records) for Scott Co. However, with this said, I will be happy to make some webspace available for someone who wants to take the task on for either Morgan or Scott Co. ...tim west...
