Rebecca (Becky) was a slave owned by Henry Lipscomb. They appeared in Cumberland County, Virginia, about 1787. They lived together as partners and had nine children. He freed her in 1801. Henry was a native of King William County, VA, a burned county. Rebecca does not appear on any personal property tax lists I've been able to find. I know a lot about her post-1790, but nothing of her origin and early years. I fear that any relevant records were burned. Should I just give up? Any suggestions? Thank you.
