Thank you for the wonderful information Marleen... I have been complaining about how hard it is to trace my common name Whites... (I am looking for James, Johns, Williams, and Henrys... LOL) but when I purchased the book on slave trading that I recently bought it really brought to home for me the searches that these descendents have to make... Those that are tracing their AA ancestors have my complete admiration... I can't even get out of a paper sack with mine.. I can imagine how complicated their search must be... :) I do believe that the internet is a wonderful source in cracking some of these puzzles though and that it twenty or thirty years there will be more information that we will know what to do with..

Cindy, I got the book from the library, but I am sure you and purchase it from Amazon.com, it was published in 1998 and won the National Book Award. It just happened I picked up the book, then heard two interviews with Edward Ball on Public Radio, about the book and his family. Slaves in the Family. He has a long discussion of the names people took when they were freed, almost none of the people took the name Ball, even people who were Ball descendants. In my own case, when I tried to find people who had belonged to my Dew and McKee ancestors, I only found two families with the McKee surname, and at least 7 families composed of about 32 people had belonged to the McKees. I found a deed that listed all of William McKee's "property" in 1854, it included all of his people by name, age and family group, but I was unable to match them to any of the families I found in the 1870 census. I have found some Dew families, but I do not have a list to match to. I, too, had thought many slaves took their owners surnames, but apparently this is an urban myth, and in most cases they selected other names. Ball mentions that slaves usually had only one name. Only when there were two people on the books with the same given name, was a second name added. The Balls had two men named Thomas and differentiated them by calling one Tom Black and the other Tom White. This probably happened becauese one man had lighter skin than the other man. "Surnames" like that could be carried into freedom without a second thought. The Ball plantations were on the Cooper River, both branches, in South Carolina. The Ball family kept copious records, these are on deposit in several archives in South Carolina--they are listed in the book. Here is a quote from the book: "In the end, one or two people on each plantation took the name Ball, while most black families on Ball lands made other choices including Aiken, Anton, Ash, Bennett, Black, Broughton, Brown, Bryan, Campbell, Cigar (or Segar), Coaxum, Collins, Dart, Drayton, Easton, Ellington, Evans, Fayall, Ferguson, Fleming, Ford, Fork, Frost, Gadders, (or Gethers), Gadsden, Gaillard (Gillard), Gainey, Gamble, Garrett, Garsing, Gibbes, Gilbert, Gillon, Graham, Green, Guinness, Hamilton, Harleston, Harris, Hasgill (Haskell), Heyward (Haywood), Horlbeck, Irving, Jenkins, Johnson (Johnston), Jones, Ladson (Ladsdon), Lance, Lash, Lawrence (Laurence), London, Lonesome, Lovely, Lucas, Martin, Matthews, Maxwell, McKnight, Middleton, Miles, Miller, Moultrie, Nelson, Nesbitt ( Nesbeth), Oliver, Owens, Parker, Pickney, Poyas, Prichard, Randolf (Randolph), Read, Richardson, Rivers, Roberson (Robertson), Ribinson, Roper, Royal (Ryall), Scott, Seymour, Shepherd, Simmons, Simon, Singleton, Stewart, Thompson, Vandross (Vanderhorst), Wade, Waring, Warren, Washington, Watson, Waylan, White, Wigfall, Williams, Wilson, and Withers." If you are interested in the McKee Deed, it is posted on the Noxubee County GenConnect Deed Board. It happens that two of William McKee's granddaughters were the first and second wife of my gg-grandfather, Willis Chandler White. Marleen Van Horne

Phillip, I am so sorry to be so slow on the reply, Computer troubles. Rasp White, is the only name I have for my great-grandfather, this is a family Bible entry. He is buried in Arkansas. I believe he is buried at Burk's Chapel Cemetery in Fulton county, near Camp Arkansas. This is located near Pocahontas Ark, and Salem Ark., in the north eastern part of Arkansas, very near the Missouri border. He had married a Amanda F. Burk. Amanda Burk, is buried at Burk's Chapel as is her father, grandfather, second husband Wiley J. Green, siblings, his daughter my grandmother Ruth C. White-Holloway, and other Burk kin. There are two WHITES in this cemetery. But they are buried, and marked with initials. Amanda remarried this Wiley Green, and had a son with him named Gainie, he was born in 1885. So the dates. work for either grave? Ruth C. was born in 1873, but I don't have her other siblings dates of birth to aliment, the other grave? But I suspect it is E.D. White, because the age more closely matches Amanda's Burk's Chapel Whites; WHITE, E. D. Dec 19, 1843- Feb 7, 1883 WHITE, W.G.. Dec 19 1866- Nov 30, 1872 I think one of these must be Rasp? But Which one? I know very little about Rasp, himself, but his daughter, my grandmother was suppose to have had Indian blood, tribe unknown. Below you will find his Wife and children. If rings the tiniest bells, I'll pursue the clues. I have been contacted by a woman on this list that thinks because of close proximity, of her Whites, in the same area of Arkansas that we connect, and I believe her, but I can't get past this Rasp WHITE. I have just sent for a death certificate of my Grandmother Ruth White- Holloway in the hopes of finding her father's name. But I haven't had much luck with death certificates from this line, due to a fire at the Salem Court house some time back. So I am all ears???? If you have any clues, for me to run down???? Thanks in advance. Peggy Holloway-Thompson ronpegt@tir.com details below Descendants of Rasp White Generation No. 1 1. RASP1 WHITE was born Unknown in ? Arkansas, and died Unknown in ? Arkansas. He married AMANDA F. BURK Unknown in ? Arkansas, daughter of JESSE BURK and SUSANNA B.. Children of RASP WHITE and AMANDA BURK are: 2. i. RUTH CORDELIA2 WHITE, b.

Marleen, where did you purchase this book.. Slaves in the Family...??? I just got finished reading "Broke by the War, Letters of a Slave Trader.." also about slave trading... Why did the slaves' take the name White from the Ball family??? I am trying to connect my White family in the Sumter area.. I have seen the Ball family mentioned in the Sumter area. I think that my White's were probably slave traders as the book I just told you about was from another side of my family that were also traders.... Plus ... although I haven't made the connection with the White side I see mentioned in this book that Leonard White had about a hundred slaves to sell... and I am not sure how but I think my White side is connected to his.

Hello All, I just today finished reading Edward Ball's book, Slaves in the Family. I highly reccommend it to any one whose ancestors were either slaves or slave owners. Some of the Ball slave took the surname White. Marleen Van Horne

Sandra, Hello. Thanks for your reply. I should have mentioned that Eliza Deschamps parents were William and Anna. I don't know Anna's maiden name. Their children were Eliza, Mary, Sarah, George, Anne, and Bailey. Mary married King Davis. Sarah married Rougha Clemmons. Sandra, do you know what the Mechanicville area of Darlington co. is called today? Let's keep in touch as we find any new information. Peggy

Hello All, I received one of those "Pretty Park" emails today. I DID NOT OPEN IT, but just to be on the safe side, I wanted to warn everyone in my address book. If you get something from ME that has "pretty park" or "frogs", especially in the subject line, IT DID NOT COME FROM ME. BE SURE TO DELETE WITHOUT OPENING IT. I know that we're not supposed to post this kind of thing to the mailing lists, but just wanted to warn everyone. This is the first time that this virus has shown up in my email, so I'm going to holler and let everyone know. JE Leonard Lenardo@bellsouth.net

Frank: Thank you I'll look into other Churchs . I do know the Round O is a Baptist Church. And that many of the members once belonged to the Flat Creek Baptist Church.

Hello Peggy My WHITE line is also supposed to have Indian blood. I found them in the 1880 census residing in Mechansville Township, Darlington, CO. Washington White -- married twice (first wife unknown - 1 son I know of named John - their could be more) 2nd wife Louvina Robertson "called Lou" together they had at least 10 children ---- Carrie, Thomas, Prince, John, Genia, George, Alex, Danuella(?), Melinda "Linda", Inaiah (?) I have found his male children in the 1920 census living in Mechansville, Darlington Washington (Wash) is listed with a Belinda White (mother) in the 1880 census. But her age makes me think see is really his grandmother not mother. His sister Nancy White is also living with him. Washington's death certificate lists his father as Prince White - mother unknown. Born: March 18, 1850 -- Died: January 9, 1920. The only Plantation I know this family was affiliated with is the Round O Plantation. One owner of this Plantation was Dr. Smith, who gave the plantation to his adopted daughter who was married to Major J. J. Lucas. The Round O still has a working African American Church & Graveyard! Many of My Rush & James families are buried there. Along with Carrie White-James my great-grandmother. I'm sure they where on other plantations. I'll keep my eyes open for your Maria & her family .... I bet she was the sister to my Prince White. Peggy, I took the liberty of looking for Maria & Augustus White in my 1870 index. neither was listed for SC. So I looked for the Deschamps Surname. Below is what I found.

Ann: Thanks for the clues on locating the Slave owners. I have found my family in the 1880 census not the 1870. I'll try looking at the 1860 census. I do know they spent some time on The Round O Plantation in Darlington. Many are buried there. Sandra PS: yes AA is my acronym for African American <<It took me a while to figure out the "AA" in your WHITE query, but reading the rest of the text, I think it's "Afro-American", correct? Have you found the slave schedules for the 1850 or 1860 census in that area of SC? And were you able to locate that same family on the 1870 or 1880 census?>>

I just recieved my Aunt's death certificate from Arkansas. Listed as the Informant is Floyd WHITE, his address is given as Nimmons, AR. I believe that he may have been the son of Rev. Robert (Bob) WHITE. I believe that one of Floyd's sisters may have been Nora WHITE, who was married to Nolen Grafton (Buck) HOUSEHOLDER. My aunt died as an infant, and we are trying to locate any information that we can about the both our family and the WHITE's. Nora & Buck were my dad's Aunt & Uncle. Rev. Bob White was with my grandfather when he became ill and passed away. Any help in locating this family would be appreciated.
