1st Carnival of African-American Genealogy: Restore My Name--Slave Records and Genealogy Research

This is the first blog carnival in which I've participated.  It is like a small journal of articles collected on a single topic submitted by bloggers.  I submitted two of my posts on New England families on which I've worked that also owned slaves in the 18th century.  So go to Luckie's blog: Our Georgia Roots and see all the articles (25 in all).

Will of Amy Ann (Cleveland) Smith 1840-1911 I'm not sure how unusual it was for a woman to leave a will in the early part of the 20th century. But my great-great-great-grandmother did. Note the date of the will: 5 May 1910, so she still couldn't vote. She mentions her two married daughters by name and place of residence (a surplus of riches for information and identification). And, of course, she signs the will at the bottom. Amy is part of my umbilical line. Source: Essex County (Mass.) Probate #112388.

Assembling the family of Joseph Wallace 1781-1861 I recently discovered that Joseph Wallace died in Haverhill, Massachusetts on 11 June 1861, aged 80. [Massachusetts Deaths for 1861, 147:198] This death certificate has much information that will lead me to new avenues of research on his parents Nathaniel5 and Deborah (---) Wallace. Sadly, Joseph left no probate papers in Essex County, Massachusetts. This is not surprising since he is living with a daughter and her husband in both the 1850 and 1860 U.S. censuses. How then to assemble his family in the absence of both probate papers and birth records in Moultonborough? We start with the death certificates...
