RUTHERFORD CO., NC MALE SLAVES
This is a list of Slave Names taken from the "Names & Relationships" pages and made easier to find for the African-American researchers. Some of these will be with their old owner just after being sold and some will be with their new owners. Like most everything in genealogy one has to allow for errors of all kinds. The abbreviations are as follows: s/o = son of, d/o = daughter of, w/o = wife of, and msl/o = male slave of fsl/o = female slave (this could be the person that just sold the slave or bought the slave).
