I was able to go back several generations of my family and find information in the census records. These include:
Leroy 1812 m. Delilah (Lillie) 1815
Children:
Pride, 1830, m. Mariah 1845
Mary Ann 1832 m. Lester Perry 1827
Dock 1836 m. Celie 1845
Lizzie Ann 1840,
Walter 1852,
Oliver 1857
They all lived/were born in Gold Mine Twp, Franklin County, NC. Which borders Warren County, NC. Part of our family's land sits in both counties.
According to my dad, a man Alex Alston (white) always said that his family owned my gggg father Leroy. I have not found any evidence documenting that but I did traced the white line of Alstons.
Maybe it might help others. These Alstons owned slaves that ended up in both Warren and Franklin Counties.
