Location: Warrenton, Warren, North Carolina, United States
Surnames/tags: Kearney Slavery

Hickory Grove Plantation once housed the family of William Kinchen Kearny (1785-abt.1869) and hundreds of enslaved people. The plantation house now stands in ruin, the remains of six of the former household moved from the cemetery elsewhere.

William kept extensive, albeit poorly spelled records of his enslaved workers, which is a great help in tracking their origins for descendants. A list of these people, and ongoing efforts to connect them to the tree can be found here: Slaves of William Kinchen Kearney
