African-Americans in Wythe County, Virginia.

A significant portion of the people who lived in Wythe County, Virginia in the decades leading up to the Civil War were enslaved persons. This document focuses on the enslaved ancestors of Archie Griffin and identifying them on the 1850 and 1860 slave schedules that were collected by the Federal government. One aspect of these schedules is that they list enslaved persons by age, sex, and color, without providing their names. Luckily, in February 1866 two documents were prepared by the State of Virginia. One was a list of cohabitating former enslaved couples, listing them, their children, and their last slave owners. The second document was a list of men who were no longer cohabitating with their former spouses due to their death, a relationship break-up, or the woman being sold and removed from Wythe County. The two documents provide information on dozens of formerly enslaved persons.

In 1850 there were 12,304 persons in Wythe County. Of these, 78 percent were white individuals. Twenty percent were enslaved persons. Only two percent were free Black or Mulatto persons.

In 1860, there were 12,835 individuals living in Wythe County. Eighty percent were free white, Black, or Mulatto persons (it is not possible to search by racial category for this census) and 20 percent were enslaved persons.

After the Civil War, in 1870, the population had declined to 11,617 persons. Eighty percent were white individuals, 19 percent were Black, and one percent were Mulatto.

These population statistics suggest the racial make-up of Wythe County remained fairly constant during these decades.

I think I have identified the likely slave owners mentioned by Wesley Evans and Caroline Brown. The 1860 slave schedules don't have a great match for their age, but since there was an Andrew Ellett and a George Miniss, both living in the 2nd Ward of Richmond, I think these are the correct people, but didn't want to add links until someone else took a look.

(I hope I did the USBH categories correctly)
