Are You Researching Any of the Same People, Names, or Places?

Are you researching any of the same people, names, or places I am for The Enslaved at Oakley & Beyond Project? Look at the surnames below. Contact me if you think you are connected.

During the Q&A at a recent presentation I gave on my research project, The Enslaved at Oakley & Beyond Project, I received a recommendation to help me with my research. The person suggested that I post a list of the surnames I’m researching on my blog and anywhere else where people can find it. I thought it was a great idea! So that’s what this post will be. I’ll make a note if there is an enslaver’s surname and if the surname appears somewhere outside of Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C., such as Montclair, Essex County, New Jersey.
