I'm looking for any info that will help this African-American lady find her ancestry. It is believed that she is a Fitzhugh descendant. ---------------------------------------------- The name of the plantation is Greenwood and the plantation owner was Gideon Brown. I learned more about him through the Rappahannock Library and a book I received about the Rappahannock area. We were allowed to visit the plantation out of the kindness of the current owners and inhabitants. Now, I need to find the records of Gideon Brown (i.e. will, record of slave sales/purchase, etc.). I believe he was there in 1850 until his death in the late 1800's. His farm remained in the family until recent times. His niece who married a gentleman with the last name of Miller inherited the property. I understand descendants of his niece still live in the area. --------------------------------------------- Any help or hints will be greatly appreciated! Charleen
