"Enslaved" African Americans in RAND records
| Karim Rann (View posts) | Posted: 16 Apr 2000 8:36PM GMT |
I am challenging any descendants/relatives of former RAND "slave owners" of North Carolina and Alabama who may have access to family documents containing names of "enslaved" blacks, to extract such names and make them available to African American researchers such as myself.
My great, great grandfather, CLEM (b. Abt 1845, d. 1910), was enslaved on the plantation of Walter R. Rand of Dallas Co, AL. Walter R. Rand (b. Abt 1827, d. 1864) is the son of Nathaniel Green RAND (b. 1796, d. 1883) of Wake Co, NC. Nathaniel, in turn, is the son of Walter RAND (b. 1761, d. 1812) of the Isles of Wight Co, VA; the son of William RAND (b. Abt 1710, d. Abt 1767).
Embedded in said family documents-- transactions, Bill of Sales, inventories, deeds, mortgages, minutes, bibles, journals, diaries etc are possibly names of enslaved African Americans; names of enslaved blacks who were severed from their relations.
This is my goal: To bring together the family ties of my great, great grandfather, CLEM.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
