First she will have to figure out where in Virginia her ancestor was at. Can't go much further till that is settled. I am not sure of the surname. But will see what I can do. Thanks

Kelli...Richmond had a very large slave market. I have read that when the
tobacco production went down that slaves from VA were the preferred slave.
So slave breeding became the next big industry. Slaves were also sold in
Roanoke and shipped to the deep south. The preferred slave was of the
Mandinka tribe because they worked together as a group better than some of
the other tribes. If you are researching the Tyler name, you may want to
also check Charles City if you haven't already done so. www.charlescity.org

I am in search of some information and I am not sure how to find it. I am
in search of an Ancestor in Virginia. I am not sure if the last name is
Stephens or Tyler (leaning more toward Stephens). Since I am African
American I am looking for a Slave owner in Virginia with either the name
Tyler or Stephens. Also for some basic history of Virginia was there a
central location for the sale of slaves especially if they were sold
further South.
