ET] Hi, AW!
[AW(MA)] Hi E.T. How is Sacramento and the retired life?
ET] Great! Long time no see.
How are things with you?
[AW(MA)] I know. I forget to log on before 1pm most days :(
So far so good.
ET] I'm glad to hear that.
Have you been doing any research, AW?
[AW(MA)] I am starting to look at the last slave owner.
Had my first peek at the 1850 and 1860 slave schedules.
I never planned on getting that far so I am a bit excited about it.
ET] I hear ya! That is exciting.
Which surname, and where?
[AW(MA)] This will lead to some more data for AfriGeneas.
I am planning to do something in the way of listing the owners
and total number of slaves on the site at some point.
This is my Bowens Line. They were in Marshall County MS
around Holly Springs. The owner was James Hargus.
ET] Sounds good.
] Looks to me like you already know who the last slave
owner was.
[AW(MA)] There were 2 Harguses listed in the schedules
that I looked at, one had only one slave and the
other had between 7 and ten and I was able to follow the
trail from the 1850 schedule to the 1860 schedule
with the hope of finding my ancestors in the 1870 schedule.
ET] I see.
[AW(MA)] Yes. Now knowing who he was I want to see what
else I can find out and what other information it turns up.
correction: Not 1870 schedule but 1870 since there was
o slave schedule in 1870.
ET] I knew what you meant.
[AW(MA)] I know you did but if someone else reads the log
they will think I am nuts....can't have that....not
even if it is close to the truth....hahahaha
ET] :=)
[AW(MA)] STG, where are you researching?
ET] STG may be multi-tasking. :=)

[Anita(MA)] Really good.
[tee] good Anita
ET] Are you near Shirley, in Middlesex county, Anita?

Do you know what town she is in, may have heard the name
ET] Shirley is the town! :=)
[tee] Anita how long you been in MA
[Anita(MA)] ooooppppps.....see how much I know?????
ET] Middlesex county appears to be ajacent to Boston on the
north-west side. Shirley may be about 40 miles from Boston.
Tee, I have been here since February.
ET] adjacent
[tee] Oh. I was wondering. I didn't remember you being in MA
[Anita(MA)] I am in a town called Malden. I am about 10
minutes from Boston. Yes, Tee, I was in NJ. I am trying to get
back to Chicago. Guess I am taking the long way
back...LOL
ET] I see the town, Malden on the map.
[tee] That's what I thought.
ET] Malden also appears to be in Middlesex county.
[Anita(MA)] It is a nice place. I don't have any complaints
so far. I was unhappy in NJ from day 1.
[tee] Well I'm glad you like it here
[Anita(MA)] I thought so but I never bother to find out the geography
since I wasn't driving much. Now of course I go everywhere.
There is a branch of Nara in Waltham which I have been able
to go to. I took off one day to find it and have been a very happy
camper since I did.
[tee] cool
[VKN] Howdy doody All!
[Anita(MA)] Well, Howdo VKN? Fancy meeting you here!!!
[VKN] All is well in this part of the world. A niece visiting from
San Diego left early this morning. We had a great time.
[Anita(MA)] That is great!!
[VKN] In a genealogical vien we got into a deep discussion
about how or if to celebrate those family members
who are "ne'er do wells"
ET] Hi, Pete!
[tee] Hey Pete
[VKN] She has spmething of a hoity toity view of the world.
[Pete] Good afternoon, Everybody! (c:
[Anita(MA)] What did you two decide?
[VKN] Well LOl
ET] I haven't heard that expression in quite some time, VKN. :=)
[VKN] I asked if it would help to drain out all of obe set of blood
and transfuse another set It got to be hilarious at some point.
[Anita(MA)] VKN, if we leave out the n'er do wells in some
of my lines.....welll I think we would be extinct by
now or at the very least an endangered species...LOL
[tee] lol I agree Anita
[Anita(MA)] E.T. Malden is in Middlesex County
[VKN] Well Anita I was laughing quietly because some in my line
would transfuse the lady raising the question.
[Anita(MA)] uh ohhh
ET] I saw that, Anita.
[Pete] VKN !!!!
[Anita(MA)] I know you did E.T. but now I know.
[VKN] In other words belling the cat i s a good idea BUT
which mouse will be sacrificed to hang the bell.
ET] :=) @ Anita.
[VKN] Hello there Pete
[Anita(MA)] The funny thing about family is that at some
point in time depending on who you talk to, there is a little
n'er do well in all of us. I know we certainly have had a few
colorful sidebars at the last two reunions.
[VKN] Amen, Anita!!!!!!
[Anita(MA)] But no one is willing to stay away or let an outsider
"point things out" be sides, if we didn't have family what on earth
would we talk about....LOL
[Pete] Good point, Anita
[VKN] Interesting discussion on boards about Uncle Tom and
his role in life as a slave.Might be good if bookclub made it a book
to be discussed.
[Anita(MA)] Good idea VKN
[VKN] Uncle Toms Cabin is available as an eBook to be
downloaded at no cost.
[Pete] Where????
[VKN] As you know Abe Lincoln credited that book with starting the civil war.
[Anita(MA)] Really???????
[VKN] It is said to be the 2nd most read book in the world.
Second only to the Bible.
ET] Yeah...old Abe...making the world safe for democracy....
with millions of slaves. Ain't they got no shame?
Naw, they ain't got no shame!
[Pete] (c: @E.T.
ET] (Loose interpretation of Nikki Giovanni's Great Pax Whitey)
[Anita] E.T. if you want me to leave just ask....you don't have
to throw me out...hahahaha
ET] I'm sorry!
[VKN] Ouchies, Anita!!!!!
