Q9: What types of records could confirm that Tom was indeed a blacksmith on the Harvey Plantation? How might we find out how many enslaved people labored there?

A7 Locate original plantation owner's property based on county/state, then look up deed information (if available) for plat/mapbingo. Also try Google using owner's name or plantation name to check for burial/cemetery information and possible historical maps.

A7. Most slave cemeteries are not marked so think again, do your research, get off the computer, and follow the faith of the people, find Massa's notes, and you will find the cemeteries. The death of a slave means loss of $$$

A8 This is specific to each person's respective family's oral history. For me, interviewing several family members in different branches to see who knows what and to compare histories. Interestingly enough, I found 2 more siblings to 2x Great-Grandpa by nicknames.

A7 Another interesting fact and there is a database, search plantations by county/state. Ive seen the registry/database as I stumbled across it by accident. I know there is one for NC and SC. Some have lots of information based on family notoriety and history.
