Is this a reference to the resettlement of African Americans? If so I would like information on the society. Several of my Bowden and Lewis ancestors relocated to Nova Scotia sometime around 1834. It appears there was a community of free blacks who left Virginia, and settled in that area. They were in the area of Spotsylvania County, and not Albermarle. It is a little known fact that Native Americans were also being resettled in Canada and South America.
