Free African Americans of North Carolina, Virginia, and South Carolina from the Colonial Period to About 1820. SIXTH EDITION in Three Volumes. VOLUME III: Families Moore to Young

This Sixth Edition is Paul Heinegg's most ambitious effort yet to reconstruct the history of the free African American communities of Virginia and the Carolinas by looking at the history of their families. Now published in three volumes and nearly 400 pages longer than the Fifth Edition, this work consists of detailed genealogies of 656 free Black families that originated in Virginia and then migrated to North Carolina and/or South Carolina from the colonial period to about 1820. The families studied here represent nearly all the African Americans who were free during the colonial period in Virginia and North Carolina. Volume III contains the families Moore to Young.
