Dear Vivian,
What state and county were said ex-slaves freed in?In what year(s)?
One of those surnames occurs in my family.(Banks)But,then again,it’s a common surname anyway.
Just curious!
Roca
John Randolph of Roanoke is how he is often called. Roanoke refers to his plantation in Charlotte County Virginia, therefore all slaves were from Virginia. He died in 1818 but it took 19 years to resolve all legal issues so the freed slaves were not transported to Ohio until the early 1830s.
Here is a link with a lot of our names including Banks that were freed in early Virginia.http://www.genealogy.com/genealogy/12_heing.html
From that site “By 1790 free African Americans were concentrated in these areas, representing about 10% of the free population of the Eastern Shore, 6% of New Kent, 8% percent of the free population of twelve southside Virginia counties, and 17% of the free population of York County [Heads of Families – Virginia, 9].Note 6 The total “other free” population in Southampton County alone exceeded the total “other free” population in 22 other Virginia counties.Note 7
The replacement of white servants with African slaves, begun in earnest in 1660, continued for more than a century. Racial contempt for African Americans did not fully develop as long as there were white servants in similar circumstances.
Many originated in or moved to Surry County, Virginia, where their deeds, marriage bonds, and wills were recorded in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. They were the Banks, Blizzard, Byrd, Charity, Chavis, Cornish, Debrix, Jeffreys, Kersey, Peters, Scott, Sweat, Tann, Valentine, Walden, and Wilson families. Descriptions in the Surry County, Virginia, “Registry of Free Negroes” in the late 18th and early 19th century.
Many baptized their children in Bruton and Middleton Parishes, James City and Charles City Counties between 1744 and 1767. They were the Allways, Armfield, Ashby, Banks, Bartley, Chavis, Cooper, Flowers, Freeman, Gillett, Grimes, Jameson, Jones, Lewis, Maclin, Peters, Redcross, Roberts, Rosarios, Tann, Wallace, and Williams families who came from as far away as Southampton County [Bruton Parish Register, 4-35].
The McKinnie family, originally from Isle of Wight County, Virginia, was one of the leading white families in the area around the Roanoke River. Barnaby McKinnie, member of the General Assembly from Edgecombe County in 1735, was witness to many of the early Bass, Bunch, Chavis, and Gibson deeds. “
This articles states that anyone could own land in North Carolina and refers to slave owner who freed their slave, bought and/or were witness on the deeds. Great article.
Also, very interesting is that John Randolph believed he was a descendent of Pocahontas.
“Richard Randolph of Bizarre (1770-1796), who was arrested and charged with infanticide in 1793, was the son of John Randolph of “Mattoax” (1739-1775), who married Francis Bland in 1769. John Randolph of Mattoax was the son of Richard Randolph of “Curles” (1686-1748) and of Jane Bolling (1704-1766). Jane Bolling was the fourth generation in direct descent of Pocahontas, the famous Indian maiden who saved the life of Captain John Smith. Richard Randolph of Curles was the fourth son of William Randolph of Turkey Island”
