Welcome to the African American Families of Southeast North Carolina website.
All of the information on this website was obtained from federal, state and County records, message boards, family grave sites, family bibles, older members of the family, the booklet JUST LIKE A TREE PLANTED BY THE WATER by Ms. Dorethea Autry-Ellis and the long hard hours of research done on the Anson County families by Ms. Deborah Morales.
The birth dates and ages on the census reports were not very reliable. I noticed in more than one instance when a person would actually be recorded younger or just two years older on his or her next census listing. I think a lot of people really didn’t know how old they were. Due to not being able to count or add. I have tried to insure the accuracy of the information on this website, however there is still and always will be a possibility of error.
