Since my resrarch is on the Abolitionists with known connection to Robert E Lee such as John Brown, I have to ask, are these people noted as Free Blacks in any of their paperwork.There are several well known free black families in the Virginia area before the Civil War.One is the Bruce family of Richmond. Then of course there is always the Hemings family of Thomas Jefferson.
Another family seems to be the Turner family of Net Turner. They live near Harewood in Charlestown.
