Introduction

This page is dedicated to the people who were enslaved in Choctaw Co, AL, to help them make connections and find their families.

Arthur M. Lewis was a slave holder in Marengo Co, AL. He moved to Marengo county about 1843. Arthur raised his family on The Home Place in Marengo county, and managed his other plantations from there.

The Kinterbish (sometimes spelled Kinterbesh records) Creek runs through Sumter and Choctaw counties in Alabama. It is probable that this plantation was on that creek.

Arthur M. Lewis died in 1860. His probate listed an inventory of enslaved people at The Kinterbish Place in Apr 1861. It gave their names and ages.^[1]
