Description

For 50 years, slavery used to be a lifestyle all over the southeastern United States, including the Commonwealth of Kentucky and Allen County. Much has been said concerning the hardships endured by generations of slaves, and the ensuing fight to live and thrive by freed slaves within the years following the Civil War, but there was little genealogical information to be had at the slaves living in Allen County and their owners, until now. Til Freedom Came: Slaves in Allen County is a detailed record of the slave era within the county from 1815-1865, with detailed charts and information listing the slaves by year, wills and inheritance records, states of birth, births and deaths within the county, lists of indentured servitude following the war, church rolls, slaves who fought within the Civil War, and more. Written to lend a hand future researchers in their search of slave ancestors, Til Freedom Came: Slaves in Allen County is an authoritative guide to slavery within the region and a very powerful resource for historians and genealogists alike.
