Can you or anyone else recommend a specific location that I can look for specific slave names listed by their slave-owners? I have researched my family history back to 1860, but cannot go any further unless I compare my ancestors ages listed on the 1870 census with those the owners listed in the 1860 census. It is very tedious work, however, I have narrowed my search down to a couple of potential owners. I am looking for any help or suggestions that anyone may have. I am very fortunate in that I know for a fact that my ancestors were slaves in the Fincastle area of Henderson County. As a matter of fact, Judge J. J. Faulk mentions my Great, Great, Great Grandmother, Flora Allen, and her brother, Green Douglas as some of the only surviving individuals from the prosperous Fincastle period in his book, "The History of Henderson County." Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

To [email protected] There is Microfilm available of what was called Slave Schedules from many states. How close are you to a Genealogy library? I live in Austin, which has a really good library. If you do not have a library close to you that would have it or be able to order it for you, send me names and pertanent dates and I will see what I can find at the library here on my next visit.
