    Hi, Luckie. Sorry, no Fulton Co. I have been trying to connect my Dekalb/Fulton county Taliaferros to Washington-Wilkes county for years withno luck so far. I also believe their slave owning Taliaferros had connection there as well, but so far I haven't found the connection. My brickwall ancestor for the Taliaferros is Miles Taliaferro, my gg grandfather. Regards, sandra.

    Hi Luckie
    My WINGFIELD's seem to be mostly from Virginia...Albemarle and are in the 1700's...does this match with you?

    Thomas WINGFIELD b. 29 Mar 1664? Tickencote, Rutland, England...d. 19 Dec 1720 New Kent VA? I do not have much info on them...I was in Salt Lake City a couple of years ago and found this info in a BARKSDALE book and mostly from this: FROM THE WINGFIELDS OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VIRGINIA: A CORRECTION (Richard WIngfield Quarles; Magazine of Va Genealogy Vol 26(2). 1988. p 79-100).

    Hello Luckie

    Thank your for the information. I have located ancestors back to two generations of slaves, now I am trying to locate their slave owners.

    Hello Luckie

    I have visited that site many times and never came across that document. A few of the name are familiar,#197 Sam Simmons is my great-great grandfather. He use to deliver the mail on Edisto Island. I also know of Sam Gadsden, there is an oral history written about him called And I Am Glad.

    What's sad about that list is the deed holders did not get to keep the land. Between 1865 and 1866 fortysix land owners petitioned to get their land back and they won. Most of the deed holders signed contracts to lease the land and share the profits with the owners, and then eventually bought their own land.

    He did not get to keep his land, but his brother in-law who is also in the list Roland Brisbone (Brisbane) did keep his land. My GG grandfather is on the 1870 Census as renting from him.

    It has been extremely exciting finding the different documents with my ancestors name on it. I was telling my sister that I got so excited when found my Samson Reed's Freedmans Bank records I forgot how I located it. I did not think I would ever find his parents because he was not from Edisto Island. He was originally from Georgetown South Carolina and I found this information from his oldest son's death certificate.

    My all time best experience was when I found Samson Reed and Joseph Jenkins military records. And just knowing that their names are listed on the Civil War Memorial in Washington has made my year.

    I recently found out that Samson Reed testified for the Defense in the Court Martial of Sgt William Walker. I received an appliation from the NARA to request a copy of the transcript for the trial.
