Sometime ago I posted a query about an old family photo, that has writing on the back, that says "this picture was taken the year you left from here, the year of 1885, The picture of your father Born 12th day Feb 1851,Fredrick B. Lewis
174 Queen Street, New Bern NC"

I'm just a bit closer to figuring out who this is - just discovered that he had a bank account in Freedmans, which had this info:

!FREEDMAN BANK RECORDS PROJECTS
FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARY FILM: 0928586
BANK LOCATION: NEW BERN, NC
APPLICATION DATE: 02 DEC 1873
AGE: 22
PLACE RAISED: Newbern NC
HEIGHT/COMPLEXION: Bright
CURRENT RESIDENCE: Newbern, NC
MILITARY INFORMATION:
WORKS FOR: Self
OCCUPATION: Farming
DEATH NOTES:
PLANTATION:
MASTER:
MISTRESS:
REMARKS:

86851.GED (Personal Ancestral File(R) ). Date 14 Jul 2000.

Birth 12 Feb 1851
Father William Blackledge
Mother Cindy Mason
Brother Edwood Lewis*
Brother Robinson (---)
Sister Hannah Moore
Sister Betsey Moore

*this might be Edward

I can't find William Blackledge listed in 1870 AA CD - though there are some other Blackledges in New Bern. Nor can I find Frederick.

I need to find out what happened to Frederick later on - who he married and his kids names to find out how he is related to me. Can someone do a lookup in the 1880 Census, or marriage records of Craven County for me?

Thanks

Denise
