Thanks so much for posting the site with so many great photos of the
Hunley Crew burial in Charleston, SC.
As I had lived many years in Charleston, I was feeling very homesick to view
all the pictures.
Thanks again for posting this very nice site.

Dear Tara and list members.
I have also learned recently that a slave by the name of "Ned" served in the
4th Ga. Cavalry (Clinch's) Company A.
Would be grateful for any additional information on "Ned" if available.
thanks,

Hi...
I am now researching the Crews family that originated in South
Carolina....mainly from Collecton Dist., SC and I am seeking some
help.....I am looking for information on Roger Crews who was born abt
1789 in Colleton, SC and died abt 1837 in Duval Co, FL...he married
Elizabeth Mitchell and they had 12 children.....I found some information
online and wondered if someone maybe connected to this family or if
anyone who has info can help me in my family research.....appreciate
whatever anyone has..
I found this line from the article most interesting. Perhaps this was what
we teachers might call "a teachable moment".
"Most surprising to some was the slaves were allowed to earn and save money,
and they had their own firearms to hunt for deer, wild hogs and other
animals.
"It was slavery," Thomas Stafford said. "But these people weren't treated
like slaves."
Perhaps with examination of more first person accounts of slave life, a
truer picture of slave life would emerge.

Hello everyone,
The following is an article about a find in North Carolina: slave names
included in an 1860 census. Apparently the names were left off of a later
copy of the census.
This proves the point that when researching your family it's vital,
whenever possible, to see the original document - you never know what
you'll find!

Hello everyone,

This past Friday I went to Cumberland Island and met a group of Staffords
who believe they are the descendents of slaves of Robert Stafford (not to
be confused with the children Robert Stafford had with his slave). The
Staffords were a great group of people. I really enjoyed my time with them.
It was a wonderful trip. A Times-Union photographer traveled with the group
to document their journey.
Take care,
