    Re: Slavery

    Gordon,

    You have done very well! I use Dobson all the time in my work!

    Mother still has me hunting a few of our ancestors and emailed me this link. I find it extremely INTERESTING....

    In terms of American colonial society (Virginia and Maryland to 1775), the following list of names is interesting: The American correspondents of London-based Duncan Campbell were mostly users of slave labour.


    Here is a list of them: Duncan Campbell's correspondents from the index to his business letterbook 1772-1776: including, Allison and Campbell, William Adam, Samuel Athawes, Colonel William Brockenbrough and Austin Brockenbrough, Dr John Brockenbrough, Adam Barnes and Johnson, James Bain, Rev. Mr Beauvoir, James and Robert Buchanan, George Buchanan, Robert Cockerell, Messrs Campbell and Dickson, Colin Currie, Stewart Carmichael, William Dickson, Charles Eyles, Fitzhugh, Fauntleroy, Richard Glascock/Glascook, Benj and Charles Grimes, Henderson and Glassford, Rhodam Kenner, Abraham Lopez and Son, James Millar Jamaica, Daniel Muse, Hudson Muse, Hugh McLean, Joshua Newall, George Noble, Francis Randall, Major Henry Ridgely, Adam Shipley, William Snydebottom, Richard Stringer, Alexr Spiers and Co., Spiers, Finch and Co., Dr. Sherwin, William and Edward Telfair, Tayloe and Thornton, Charles Worthington, Cooper and Telfair.

    Any lists given above of convict-transporting ship managers given for North America, then Australia, are the first-found mainstay-names for England's long-use of convict transportation from 1718 to 1867.

    This is a beginning of names to research who were involved in the trade. I hope it helps!

      Re: Slavery

      The Second Confederate Flag, also called the "Stainless" banner had the Southern Cross as a canton (blue St-Andrew's cross saltire) on a red field. The cross was said to be due to the Scottish ancestry of many Southerners and the popularity of "Ivanhoe" and other novels by Sir Walter Scott. It served for most of the war as the National Flag of the Confederacy. Due to the large expanse of white, it was difficult to see at sea and could be confused for a flag of truce.

            Re: Slavery

            I'm really looking for a description of running a plantation which hopefully would also talk about how the slaves were treated. That said you can simply click on "manage attachment" under the edit window and you can attach pictures to a message. However to get that option you need to use the Advadvanced editor

                  Re: Slavery

                  I did some more research and added a page at http://www.electricscotland.com/hist...ca/slavery.htm

                  I am just starting work on a book about the trials of the Skye Crofters which you'll be able to read in the next month or so. It will show how they were treated at about the same time period.
