Good morning all,

I did some looking at the white landowners in the Fort Ward area in the 1850 and 1860 Censuses. I checked the Slave Schedules for both 1850 and 1860. The only information given for the enslaved people is their age, gender and race. I have attached the findings, but to summarize:

C.F. Lee listed seven slaves in 1850 and five in 1860.

Wm Cazenove listed six slaves in 1850 and six in 1860.

I also looked at Philip Hooff who listed six slaves in 1860.

And Daniel Hooe listed four slaves in 1860.

A next step usually is to look at the wills of the white slave owners. This helps to establish where slaves went after the death of a slave owner. But in this case the enslaved would have been freed by the Emancipation Proclamation prior to the deaths of the slave owners.

The Slave Schedule information alone will not help confirm who from the Fort Ward African American community was where and when. It will require further genealogical research by the members of the Descendants Society.

I will see you at the meeting later this morning.
