I want to know who was the slave owner/father of Edd Grimsley in Henry County, Al. Edd's mom was Viney Long.
I could not find anything on him. Do you have a time frame that would help
Edmond Grimsley, whose name is actually Edd, was born in 1861.
Edmond(Edd) Grimsley was born in 1861.
I was wondering if you could possibly help me find information on:
Andrew Adams born circa 1823
Lived Talbot County, Maryland
Married to: Caroline
I think he may have been owned by "spedden orem"
Children: Sidney, Andrew, Harriet, Charles, Isabella

In 1870, Andrew Adams was 46, his wife Caroline was 43. Their children were; Sidney age 18, Samuel age 13, Isable age 11, Andrew age 11, Harriet age 6 and Charles H. Adams age 4. The whole family were born in Maryland. Their residence was Talbot County.
Spedden Orem owned many slaves but non are named. in 1880 he was living in St Michaels, Talbot County, he was 80.
Sorry Andrew Adams was 8, not 11.
Mr. Adams was born between 1823 and 1824.
Mr. Orem, was born in 1800 and died in 1885.
