The Slaves

I had known that my ancestors were slaveholders.  Not all of them, but enough ... more than enough.  The Mary Postell story is probably the most prominent that I've seen so far, involving both Jesse and his brother Samuel, and a few other people.  I've read bits of Africa's Children: A History of Blacks in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia by Sharon Robart-Johnson in various reports or websites I've seen in my search; I think it's time I actually read the whole thing.
