Barbee in TN
Hi I am having a lot of trouble locating my ancestor. His name was James Barbee and he was born about 1830 in TN. Both his parents were also born in TN. I am only able to locate him on the 1880 census in Alexander county Cairo, IL. He is listed as Mulatto and he had two children Glendora and Frank. Both born in IL. In 1880 he was widowed. He was also a farmer. I havnt been able to locate him on slave rolls or figure out who his parents were. Were they slave owners or what? I dont even really see any Barbee familis in TN that were but maybe thats the search. If anyone has any info on Barbee slave owners, or any info that would be helpful I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Nadia
