Greetings, I have two questions. #1 Did Carter Braxton, the signer of the Declaration of Independence, or his children or grandchildren, own property in, or have some interest in Hannibal, Missouri? #2 Why would free persons of color born in Virginia be in Hannibal, Missouri in 1850? And when would they have come there? Any clues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Karen E.
