A reminder for those researching slave and slave holder ancestors.
The following information came to me from my friend Marlene who is
researching Greene County.
"If a person's surname doesn't appear on the list, it does not mean that
their ancestors did not hold or own slaves. Many people moved into the area
after the recording of slaves ended with their slaves from other states who
were legally
slaves. In addition, many people left the area with their slaves and
settled in states like Maryland and West Virginia or they had an exit
certificate for their slaves which meant that they would be out of the
area for a time and would be returning with their "slaves." The Negro
Slave Register was for Washington and Greene Counties. There is a
Register for Fayette, Westmoreland and Allegheny Counties as well as
many other counties in the area. Bucks County and Washington County's
original Registers are the only surviving registers in the state."
and.......
"Remember at one time southwestern Pennsylvania
held more slaves than those held in eastern Pennsylvania."
Again THANKS for ALL of your support for this project. Stay tuned for more.
