Judy's Alabama Plantations

Date: [unknown] [unknown]
Location: Alabama, United States
Surnames/tags: Black_Heritage Alabama Slavery

Introduction

This is another attempt to capture the plantations of Alabama. It lists the current status if done, the primary plantation name, the location and county, the owner(s), the # of known slaves, and extensive notes collected from a variety of sources.

This is primarily for my own use, but anyone is welcome to work from it. If you add any of these plantations, please note the status and insert the Space page address. For most of the lines with only a plantation name, county (in CAPITAL letters), and sometimes owner, see http://sankofagen.pbworks.com/w/page/14230317/Alabama for additional information on those plantations.

		Sandy Hill (Peltway Plantation)	Boykin (Gee's Bend)	Wilcox	Joseph Gee; Mark Harwell Pettway		Plantation founded by Joseph Gee, a native of Halifax County, North Carolina, circa 1816 in an Alabama River bend that retains his last name to the present. It passed to his nephews upon his death. They transferred it to their relative, Mark Harwell Pettway, also a native of Halifax County North Carolina, in 1845 in order to settle a $29,000 debt. Pettway brought his family and roughly 100 slaves here in 1846. All of the slaves, except for the cook, made the journey on foot. The main house was built around this time. The main house was razed sometime soon after the last owner sold the property to the Farm Security Administration in 1937. The administration built New Deal type houses and sold the tracks of farmland to what were mostly the impoverished descendants of the former Pettway slaves. The community of Boykin is at the same approximate location as the original "slave village" for the plantation.
