In Response To: Re: Arthur LEE, blacksmith, Alleghany Cty VA 1837 ()
Hi Toria,
Your best bet in tracing his family is by using the tithables (tax records) along with estate records. You should also check for area histories and local memoirs, & diaries which sometimes mention free Negros in the area. If he bought his freedom - there should be a record.
