After emancipation, did the slaves that your ancestors previously owned stay on working at the plantations or did the former slaves leave, never to be heard from again? Any ideas as to where they moved? What notes or stories can you pass along, in this regard? Would like to know if your family's slaves moved into the northeast Texas areas of Cass or Marion County. Most grateful for contact with researchers who's ancestors owned slaves in Cass and Marion Co., TX. Asking you to share the name of slaves as found in your family documents such as wills, deeds, diaries, tax records, as well as, any notes or stories you care to pass along. Can anyone come forward with abit of help? While I have your attention: if anyone is looking for information in the northeast Texas area of Cass and Marion County Texas, just e-mail me privately and I will be more than happy to do look-ups in my Marion and Cass County genealogical records. Just let me know. Much obliged. rustydouglas@pipeline.com
