This is so very interesting. I'm related to Albartis and Gracie. Her grandson wrote a slave narrative and talks about his life in Rusk when his grandfather Albartis was still alive and also talks about the fight over the land that was denied Gracie after Albartis promised it to her.

The link is too long to post so the best way to do this is to Google "Stearlin Arnwine slave narratives" and follow the prompts.

Please e-mail me if you wish regarding anything about Albartis Arnwine. Thanks.
