Hello list members, also to all the descendants of WILLIS ALLEN & EASTER
RAMBOLD. Both born as slaves in 1833, Willis-Alabama, Easter-North Carolina.
>From 1833-1865 32+ years as slaves. Just think about the hardship they
endured. On the 21-June-1900 censuses, they were listed as being married for
50 years. I believe they had a good slave master that kept them together as a
family. They had 15+ children. With that many children, there must be some
descendants still living. I need to here from you. Willis was my gg/gf.
Please I would like to here from you. This is some info I have on our
ancestors.

The parents & siblings of Willis Allen & his wife Easter Rambold are unknown
