Slave sales could be private, or public auctions. If you mean, where are there records of slaves that were sold, you might look in the deed books of the localities. Transfer of ownership of slaves was recorded by deed. The deed books would list them in the indexes under grantor and/or grantee names (of the purchaser or seller). Sometimes there will be a notation that it is the sale of slaves, rather than land. Also, if there are any slave dealer records for the locality you are researching, that might be an option as well. Hope this helps, Elizabeth

Hi List, could someone tell me how I can find where slaves were sold? Thanks Ruby Researching; BADGER,SAGE,HANKS,DUVALL --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo! Photos - easier uploading and sharing

It became Hardy County, West Virginia. When Virginia ceded from the USA at the beginning of the Civil War, the people in the western part of the state did not want to go. They were not at all like the eastern Virginia folk on the other side of the mountains. They were finally able to form the new state of West Virginia during this period.

I'm trying to find parents for both Elizabeth ACKER & Daniel PIPER from Shenandoah Co., VA. They were married in the county Sept. 20, 1786. Sometime between Oct. 16, 1789 and March 28, 1796, the family settled in Augusta Co. Daniel PIPER and Michael ACRE were listed on same line in the 1789 Shenandoah Co. Personal Property Tax List and wondering what the relationship could be. Any help would be very appreciated. Barbara DiMunno

I'm not sure what you are asking - but Spotsylvania was formed in 1721 from Essex, King William and King & Queen Counties. Spotsylvania Courthouse is in Spotsylvania County. More of those counties split off in 1728 to form Caroline County.

Sorry, I was not clear in my previous transmittal: Does anyone know which of the parent counties (Essex, King and Queen, and King William) became the area around Spotsylvania Courthouse when Spotsylvania County was formed in 1720 - 21? Spotsylvania Courthouse is located at 38 degrees 11 minutes 52 seconds N and 077 degrees 35 minutes 17 seconds W -- Southwest of Fredericksburg and borders the Spotsylvania Battlefield.

John: re education in 19th century Wythe Co., VA, try this URL as a starting place: http://www.ls.net/~newriver/va/vatop.htm and then do a Google search for the following words all at once - Wythe Co, VA education history.
