The picture of the man on the stairs of Magnolia Dale is my GREAT-GREAT Grandfather Alfred Butler. The Historical Society sent the picture and article regarding him to me. My family is Butler, Ready, Shaw, Steven's ancestry from Edgefield County.
6:42 shows possibly my family name there. Simkins, now Simpkins. My great grandfather was Albert Simpkins from South Carolina, relocated to Millen, Jenkins County, GA. On his side of the family he is the dead end in the Census records available online. I’m researching lately just to have this info while my elders are still around to confirm certain info.
Can you please find something on the Deloach plantation in edgefield /Trenton s.c I found the Deloach cemetery that is on the location of the plantation I'm not sure I think they had a tobacco farm. Michael Deloach came here from France there are books in the library in edgefeild SC. I've never seen a video of the plantation
My dads father is from Johnston and so was my great grandmother on my moms side of the family. In college I met a woman who’s now the librarian at the same college i attended in S.C.
WOW! I have never seen anything like the slave owners record book. It's amazing how people recorded their inhumanity to man. Think about this. My great grand mother was alive during slavery. I knew my great grandmother and thinking that this person whom I grew up with as a kid and knowing that she herself had to grow up in a society that permitted slave ownership shows that slavery isn't in our distant past. Emancipation is only a little over 150 tears old. Slavery in America went on for hundreds of years prior. Emancipation is relatively new while the enslavement of others goes back all through out history. So humans seem to have "natural" instinct to want to enslave others. This is important to understand especially in this day and age. When we hear the MAGA (Make America Great Again) crowd say that they just want to make America great again what they really are saying is they want America back to pre-civil rights time and many would like to see it pre civil war time. If you think this couldn't happen then you would be grossly mistaken and there would be a good chance that I could own you in the future. Why do I say that? Look at what the U.S. Supreme Court did recently with Roe v Wade. For 50 years women had rights to their own bodies now those rights are gone. Emancipation is only a little over 150 years old. What's to stop the U.S. Supreme Court from reversing that decision? Nothing. In fact this court is working in that direction. They took a women's right to her own body why wouldn't they end the right to colored people to be free? The MAGA party is clearly heading that way. The U.S. Supreme Court is stacked with MAGA justices and they will chip at our rights until they come to the question on slavery and then the justices will look back at the other rights they took away and it will be easier for them to justify in ending emancipation. Ask a MAGA republican "when was America great?"
my grandmother family came from down south , when they arrive to samana they had a plate something like a badge with the name Charleston SC , surname of the family who went down there are , King, Shepherd , Smith , Johnson , Coats , Green , and other
My grandparents and great grandparents were born in Charleston , South Carolina. They may have had an original name; but since they had been on the Middleton plantation that was the name they used. I still have distant cousins who use it as their last name. My great grandmother was Mary Alice Middleton before she married.

sometimes this history is hard to hear when you put yourself in their place in your mind.
Right on sista
Where can we get a copy book of Edgefield slave names used in your video?
Not sure about a copy of the whole book but you can check with Edgefield library
I purchased this for my own research back in May, from the Old Edgefield Genealogical Society. They have an online shop.
Smith, Willians, Johnson... I'm blown away by the clothes.. but the skirt plantation was gorgeous
The narrator calls it skirts, but the group is known as the Red Shirts. Google it.
Thank you for all your research
Very welcome
