Thanks to my GeneaPals, Michael Hait & Gene J @ GenealogyWise, I am making progress on unraveling the Redden Barwick Mystery! Woo-hoo!:-)
Gene J was gracious enough to create a “Luckie’s Barwick Challenge” Discussion for me, where we can compare our research breadcrumb trail & Michael has been doing alil “root digging” in the Census records!
Turns out in the 1855 Henry Alabama Census Redden BARWICK {scroll down on left > R. Barwick} owned 2 slaves! Now the question remains – who the heck were they?! My GGG Grandfather Cary BARWICK? Or Gus, the only other African-American BARWICK in Henry Co.?
Still no slaves though listed for Redden in 1850 or 1860?
Time to head to the Henry Co. Courthouse and/or engage a local hand for a look-up of Redden Barwick records!
Luckie.
