I am at my mom’s on lunchbreak. (Building some houses about 2 mi from her house 😉 Don’t have any of my references here so a better answer will follow later, but, from memory, at their peak, they had land, plantations, mills, and stores in Person, Durham, Granville, Orange, and Wake counties, NC…… some family land still in Va …. and major plantations in Mississippi and Alabama. They had over 1000 slaves and kept another 2000 free tradesmen and craftsmen employed for a lifetime. They preferred mullatos and mixed bloods in overseer and all other employed positions. Quite frankly, they admitted in a number of Cameron papers that free nonwhites produced better quality and more loyalty at a lower price.
Connie, here is a link to the slave cemetery associated with the Stagville plantation. (Not the one Becky and I rediscovered)
