Hello - Do you have any papers related to Sheriff Stephen Grant? My great grandfather was a voter registrar in Lafayette County circa 1867. He was a justice of the peace and sheriff in Madison a year or so later. He is listed in a book titled "Florida's Black Public Officials," but the book, nor Madison records, show him as a sheriff. His name was Morris M. Sampson, born 1834 in N.C. He also was a black man, although some say he looked caucasian. He was hanged circa 1883 in Madison, probably because he was registering blacks to vote. If anyone has old records, newspaper articles, etc., that I can refer to, please let me know. I live in the Washington DC area and cannot get to the Florida records.
