Looking for 1850 Slave Schedules - other than Ancestry, Family Search or My Heritage

Question

I am working on enslave persons in the 1850 Slave Schedule for Sarah Amis (Gee) Lockhart, Northampton County, North Carolina.  Are Schedules listed at some other site than Ancestry (can't find), Family Search or My Heritage (not helpful)?  I need to validate the info I have found on FS.  I think her holdings continue on from page 77 to 78. Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi Liz,

If I recall correctly, FamilySearch has photos of the 1850 Slave Schedule documents. Could you elaborate on what specifically you are trying to validate?

Yes, image 77 shows ownership from line (second column) 19 to 42.  If you go to image 78, column 1, it does not change Owner, but the image index tab starts with Benjamin F Jordan.  So do image 78, 1 - 23, belong to Lockhart or Jordan?

It looks continuous to me, that is, that Sarah’s listing continues on to the next page.  Benjamin Lockhart is on image 42, looks like the indexing is incorrect.  Sarah left a will (digitized at Ancestry) that names a number of enslaved people.

Answer 2

You should be able to look at South Carolina and North Carolina wills dated for the year you are looking for. That will give you a different reference point similar to a slave schedule.

Answer 3

Most likely.  I don't use Ancestry, I use family search, and other sites as well.  I'll look and send you a note with links.
