    One of their sons was named Harry, after her father Harry Ward. That’s where the name Harry came from. We have had a Harry Holt in every generation since then, thanks to Abdeline. I know she must have missed and loved her father. 😪😪8/8 Fin.

    Among these 37 was Abdeline Ward and her beloved, Clayborne Holt. This move allowed these two young people to legally marry and begin a family. 7/?

    because in 1856, Judge Holt moved across the river to Ironton, Ohio. He brought along 37 enslaved people and freed them. He set them up with land and houses of their own. 5/?

    Abdeline Ward came to the household of Judge Holt in Greenup County Kentucky. Her timing was beneficial because a minister was working on Judge Holt’s soul about how wrong it was to own slaves. The minister’s words worked on him (or maybe the taxes got too high) 4/?

    She came to be my ancestor when she arrived in Kentucky about 15 years later, along with three other young Black women. Young Black women don’t come from Virginia to Ohio in the 1840’s unless they were sold away from their family. And why all of these young women anyway?? 3/?

    There is no picture of her, but all we have of her is her unusual name: Abdeline. She was born somewhere in Virginia in 1833 which means that she was likely enslaved. 2/?

    I’ve long wondered about why my family has been so fascinated by the name Harry. So many people in generations of my family have that name, that I want to celebrate a Negro Girl who I believe is responsible for that name being carried forward. 1/?

    Emphasis on transported. This number doesn't include born into slavery. There is no way to name them all, but this month of Feb. () I and others will name a few. We and honor the ancestors.

    Finally the thought came to me that nothing stopped *me* from doing just that. But I'm realistic. I realized there was no way I could do this 365 days or even do it alone. An estimate of 12.5 million Africans were transported to the Americas from the 1500s to 1800s.

    And I kept thinking I wish there was something like this for the Africans then African Americans who were enslaved. I wish there was something that put a name and maybe a face to the people who endured one of the worse acts of humankind.

    For the past few months, I've been following Every day they have put out a tweet remembering those who were killed during the Holocaust. The 11+ million who were murdered, and those they can find record of, are named. There is power in that.
