I found this reading interesting yet incomplete. As a child I used to attend the annual “Camp Meetings” in Brookgrove, but I have long since been far removed from contact.

I don’t think people really understand how much of our success depends on the “nudges” we receive from the other side… the unexpected finds that turn everything around or push us steps ahead.

I am so happy to hear of the success of your reunion {I’m planning one for my BARWICK line now} & how far you’ve advanced in your research – 6 generations is HUGE for African-Ancestored people!

You are right, every bit of evidence does help.

Well done!:-)

Luckie.

I need to check to see if Texas tax assessments for the years 1840-1865 list the names of slaves. With my luck it will probably just list how many slaves a person owns instead of listing the slaves names.
