Subject: Is there a Free Men Colored Register for SC in 1820-1840 From: Mithrus1 Date: June 28, 1998 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --part0_899040842_boundary Content-ID: <0_899040842@inet_out.mail.aol.com.1> Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Hi All.....:)) I could sure use your advise... Is there a Free Men Colored Register for SC in 1820-1840? I am searching for ALEXANDER, Alfred born abt. 1811 SC. I only know his mothers name as Bettie or Bessie born abt. 1796 in SC . (is there a clue hear? based on dates, I should be looking into) and his family from the 1870 Census finally located in ALA 1870. (Alexandria, Calhoun Cty) Now, here is my problem: I have located Alfred and his family of 19 years in 1870 ALA Census. This is the only record I have been able to locate. He does not appear in 1866 ALA Register of Colored Persons, nor appear in the ALA 1860 or 1880 Census. This is an "interracial marriage" and it has been suggested that maybe due to marriage circumstances he did not want to be found? I could use some advise for SC, Please re: any registers up to 1850. Also, I have not been able to locate the marriage, as I do not know of what faith, as he was (would the interracial marriage had such an impact as not to be able to locate any records) I am assuming Baptist, Presbytarian? I have searched marriage certificates for daughter LauraJane, Death, and have not been able to locate a birth in 1862 in Alabama. (Alexandria, Calhoun Cty) , I have gone fwd and backward in ALA with NO luck!, Trying to get into SC. SO ANY ASSISTANCE, ADVISE, OPINIONS are "graciously" accepted. Descendants of Alfred Alexander 1.
