Just providing some possible clues relevant to this thread ...

Mrs. Anne Elizabeth (CHANCELLOR) FIDDLER

Eston John HEMINGS (1808-1856).
This last one was the son of the now famous JEFFERSON slave Sally HEMINGS.

Nancy FIDLER m=01 Oct 1812 WVA,Hardy-Co to George REDMAN.
I have no indication they were FPOC ... however they were married by Josiah HOSKINSON
who performed a number of other marriages for REDMAN free people of color.

The Isaac Wolverton REDMAN (a free person of color) which I mentioned elsewhere
in this thread was part of the group that went from WV,Hardy-Co to PA,Green-Co. Here is his
entry with his first wife on the 1860 Census of PA,Greene-Co,Jackson-Twp,White-Cottage-P.O.

This Isaac Wolverton REDMAN walked from PA to WV,Cameron to enlist in the Civil War.
He served in Company B, 7th West-Virginia Volunteer Infantry, Union Army.
He was with the unit in many battles including at PA,Gettysburg.
He was wounded at the seige of WV,Petersburg.
I wonder if he is related to this next FIDLER connection ?
