My family is from North Carolina, and I started researching my family tree several months ago. I discovered that one branch of my tree were free blacks in Martin County, North Carolina. I was curious as to what their lives would have been like - "free" in a slave state. I was also curious as to how my family came to be impoverished. the restrictive laws against free blacks in N.C. seems to be the culprit.

I ran across it in a Google Search attempt, trying to find any information about the "poor house" in Franklin County, which I think may have become the "County Home" by 1910. If you have anything, or can point me to more information on either, please email me at yarsan@aol.com. Thanks!<br /><br />RenateRenate Yarborough Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05289031155721526652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750703629968856769.post-67004196319508678662009-09-29T21:30:20.450-05:002009-09-29T21:30:20.450-05:00This is a fabulous blog, Erin.

Saunders. <I>The state records of North Carolina</I>. Raleigh, N.C. : N.C. General Assembly, 1886-1907.<BR/><BR/>This is a series of books that span from the 1600s through the 1800s. The book is full of transcripts and abstracts of actually records and there is an index at the end of the series so you can look by subject and key words. Most of the records these transcribe are also available at the State Archives of North Carolina. What I did was use the series as a jumping off point, find the records with the information and then used the actual records when available. It should be mentioned that Clark and Saunders didn't do all the work together. Clark did books 1-26 and Saunders did books 27-I believe 37 and I believe also the index.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437340068078551266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750703629968856769.post-60358235642815778132008-06-24T16:02:00.000-05:002008-06-24T16:02:00.000-05:00Thanks for reporting on your research.

One of the strange relationships that the slavocracy brought about was the purchasing of slaves by abolitionists in order to get around the tightening restrictions on manumission. In Guilford County, Quakers purchased slaves in order to let them begin to work the land and live as free persons, even though by the laws of NC they were slaves. It could be that these two persons were looking for protection during a time when they feared being forced into slavery.Mike Broadwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11777637165653734261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750703629968856769.post-18981074132138054032008-01-24T21:51:00.000-05:002008-01-24T21:51:00.000-05:00I enjoyed your blog.

I am on a preliminary survey for primary sources. Can I ask you where I can find the sources you cite for the laws and regulations regarding manumission?<BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>DebbieDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00835415008423012906noreply@blogger.com
