Judith, I am also overseas.  i am looking for records of Wilson, Butler,
Davenport, Culbreath families in South Carolina or in Georgia. Slaves or
owners. i expect to learn alot from each.  I think that In learning how the
plantation/farm owners socialized (ie kin networks) i can follow tracks of
inheritance, management decisions, even sales, loans of slaves.  Do you have
any advice for me as someone writing from overseas? I don't even know which
books to order.  Wendy Wilson Fall
