Biography
Dennis Mathews is a part of US Black heritage.
Dennis Mathews was a South Carolinian.
Dennis was born about 1847.
He was enslaved by John Raven Mathewes Sr. (1788 - 1867).
Although John Raven Mathews died in 1867, his estate inventory listed and named 176 former slaves who had been freed in 1865. Many of those listed are displayed in famiy groupings. And this inventory does not include all of the enslaved persons who were owned by Mathews before emancipation. [1]
Dennis is grouped with Amy (47), Subrina (43), Katy (23), and Henry (18), and also listed with Lucy (20), Amy (34), George (8) and 1 unnamed infant. It is unclear what relationship these people had with each other, if any.
