Just came across this. None of my family but if anyone has ancestors that were owned by McGiboney, Cone, Mapp, King family, here is a link to a family bible that lists the birth of some slave children.

I have been a Greene Co Ga researcher for over 20 years, and had a column back in the Prodigy Days. I have in Greene-
Abercrombie, Armour, Booth, Breedlove, Broughton, Brown,Caldwell, Cannon, Harris (2), Gray,Lamar, Long, McMichael, Merritt, Morris, Riley (2), Watkins and a few more I can not think of. All of these families are Original and early Co. Greene. None stayed more than two generations. I have a few slave owners, but no wills that tell more...for those of you who might ask. In other counties, I did better on records. As a professional, I have done African American Research. (My lines are always free) Ms. Gerry Hill Albany Ga -

I am not sure I could help you on Philip-but I do have the family in Wilkes. I am a descendant of Rev. Sol. Josiah Carter.

Hi There Gerry! Welcome to the Georgia Root Diggers!:-)
My ears (eyes) perked right up when I heard WILKES Co. & CARTER. I have yet to be able to confirm the owner of my 4th Paternal Grandfather, Philip CARTER from Wilkes.
Was Josiah Carter related to John Carter {wife Mary STONE Carter} from Wilkes? Any Carter information would be much appreciated... I have some old Oral History about the Carters that hasn't quite lined up.

Josiah was a Rev Sol (See that heading for more) born 1745 Bedford Va-1822 Putnam Co Ga
He had a son John-mine-but born 1786 Greene Co Ga married Mary Kendrick 1804.
Josiah was married to Mary Menges Anthony-another long line. (Joseph, Mark, Charles)
I am not sure about a Josiah married to a Stone. I have the Stone Family-from Md to Va and then lateral lines of them in Hancock Co Ga. I have a Mary Stone in this family, but married to Harrison Musgrove, who almost got himself lynched-with the Yazoo Affair (Polititions took land that should have been parceled out-and sold to their friends)
This Josiah-had:
(and there is a bible)
Joseph 1772,Elizabeth 1774, Sarah 1776 Josiah 78,Thomas 80,Christopher 82, Rachel 84 John 86, Daniel 88, Nancy A 1790,James 1792, Judith 1784.
WILKES- MISC. RECORDS OF WIKES CO GA VOL III
John (Several including John L & John S), James
EARLY RECORDS OF GA Vol I & II (Wilkes)
John (Several), James, Josiah -

Thanks Gerry! I will definitely reach out to Lallie as is Warren Co. has always been a "black hole" in my research.
Here is a link from my blog - Our Georgia Roots. It's a recent post about John R. CARTER of Wilkes Co. Here's hoping something, anything, rings familiar - http://ourgeorgiaroots.com/?p=178

If he was 80-in 1860 (They did not put names on them then did they?) it would have been after Josiah left town and died. Look at the neighbors here and on the census. I see a Zachariah Kendrick-that was a family name of that family. Lots of them. See who stayed in WIlkes in 1860.
Maybe one of his sons...(Owner) Try 1850 or 60 on Ancestry-one or the other gives all the slave owners. Pages of them. See who was still there, and I may can help. -
