There are several folks on this list that have a great knowledge about
slavery. So I am asking if we could in a civil manner just answer one
question.
In looking at the 1850 and 1860 slave census I noticed that several owners
did not list the men. Rather they just listed young children male and
female and older women.
Now men had to be around as children are born to women at a regular
interval.
Thoughts please..............
