| Posted: 13 Sep 2014 04:06 PM PDT A lot of slaves took their former owners' names when they were freed in 1865; many were known by that surname before they were freed. So, if your surname is Todd, there's a pretty good chance your ancestor was owned by someone named Todd. The 1860 Slave Schedule is a part of the 1860 census. It lists the slave owner's name but not the slave's name. It does list the slaves' age, sex and whether black or mulatto. The 1850 slave schedule was the same. If you can find Mary Todd or Abraham Lincoln on the 1860 or 1850 slave schedule, AND the slaves they own match the ages and sexes of some black people living next door to them in 1870, that's a powerful clue. Your chance of doing that for Mary Todd is VERY small, though, considering her circumstances. The technique works pretty well for ordinary people who live their whole lives in one county, though. What you's have to do would be to get a VERY detailed biography of Mary Todd, which mentions her slaves, then see if you could track them down, then see if you could follow their descendants from 1870 to 1940 via the census. BTW, almost every family with a famous surname has a legend of being related to the famous person. |
| Question: Can you find John and Laura Darnell in 1910? Posted: 13 Sep 2014 02:36 PM PDT I can't find this family in 1910 and it is as annoying as having 49 out of 50 state spoons. Any help? Note that I just want them in 1910, not BMD records or WWI Draft cards; just 1910. I would not want you to waste your time duplicating my work. 1900, Dover, Lafayette, Missouri 1920, Jefferson City Ward, 5, Cole, Missouri 1930, Jefferson, Cole, Missouri 1940, Jefferson City, Cole, Missouri |
