: Virginia - I don't think there is. However - the 1850 census for Essex is
: only 82 pages long. It would not take long to transcribe the names of free
: blacks listed and post them as an Afrigeneas database. I took a peek -
: there aren't that many listed on the census pages.

: That's what I did for Loudoun VA 1850, and am now working on 1860. As soon as
: I get it finished it will all go up here - not just on my website.

: Denise, that's a good idea. How do I get started? Any suggestions you have, I'll be glad to hear them. Virginia
