1857 “Information Concerning Negro Slaves Extracted From Yancey Family Records,” from www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/7647/slaves.htm, 4/4/06, the folowing reference [I need to refer to the original record]: Hezekiah Yancey (1782-1860) 1820, Census - Mecklenburg Co., VA Recorded as owning 3 slaves. 1857, Will - Mecklenburg Co., VA, Directs selling of negro man named Habor.

1870 US Census (VA, Mecklenburg, Clarksville Dist., stamped sh. 383b, ln 12, dwelling 834)), Hepburn Yancy (possibly Hebron?) Yancy, 56, black, b. VA, couldn’t read or write, works on farm, no notation about value of real or personal property; “Isclia”, 33, black, b. VA, couldn’t read or write; Martha J. 13, b. VA, works on farm, couldn’t read or write; Mary S. 12, b. VA, couldn’t read or write, works on farm; Emma 10, b. VA; Alice J. 6, b. VA; Howard 3, b. VA; Roberta 3 mos, b.
