I am no relation, but am researching the wilhite/wilhoit slaves. I would love any info you can give me about "Amy" and her children. This family was owned by the Gardner, Estes, Wilhoit, Corum,and Deckard families. My line moved from Clay Co, Missouri to Oregon in 1853.
I am specifically loking for a freed slave
Amanda Robeson-Gardener-Johnson B-Clay Co Mo 1833
Amy may be Amanda's mother.
She is listed on the Oregon Trail rolls
Amanda married Ben Johnson, Linn Co OR
came to Or with the Anderson Deckard(Lydia Corum-Deckard)
listed with Ben and Ella Maude Henderson in census
Amanda died in Linn Co approx 1927
I suspect Ella's mother may have been a Deckard?
