Our team conducted a thorough analysis of the surrounding neighbors listed in the June 11–12 document to confirm that this was the same individual as in the first record, possibly documented there under a nickname. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/676a76e272fca615fd25a952/f2a8cf66-4b74-417e-8c9b-db3d2ab7fcab/Untitled+%2837%29.png Explore Our Portfolio - Tracing the Life of Napoleon Magee, an Enslaved African American Adaline Napoleon, Alex, and Henrietta were likely enslaved by this individual, who held females aged 12 to 33 and males aged 2 to 12. These ages correspond to their approximate ages around 1860. By comparing the ages from the 1870 census and cross-referencing the 1860 and 1870 records, we find that the ages fall within the expected range. Often, ages listed on slave schedules were inaccurate because owners did not always know the exact ages of the people they held. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/676a76e272fca615fd25a952/16da1bed-e830-42c0-9b94-721f564641b5/Untitled+%2845%29.png Explore Our Portfolio - Tracing the Life of Napoleon Magee, an Enslaved African American Deed of trust for Napoleon magee 1897 Rankin Mississippi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/676a76e272fca615fd25a952/001589a5-4dbc-4aba-8dfd-d79ae405a4f3/Untitled+%2855%29.png Explore Our Portfolio - Tracing the Life of Napoleon Magee, an Enslaved African American Napoleon magee x mark https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/676a76e272fca615fd25a952/f7835a3d-3327-4044-963e-a4f061d498e6/Untitled+%2819%29.jpeg Explore Our Portfolio - Tracing the Life of Napoleon Magee, an Enslaved African American We discovered a probate record for Darcas M. Welch, estimated to date to the early 1860s, which lists “1 Negro woman, Adaline, and 3 children” as part of the estate, and after analyzing the area where Adaline and her three children—Napoleon, Henrietta, and Alex—were living in 1870, we found that Darcas Welch was also located in Townships 1 and 2 West of the Railroad in Copiah County, Mississippi, the same area where the family appears in 1870, and after reviewing the census records, we found that there was only one African American woman named Adaline listed in that area, providing a strong indication that Darcas Welch may have been one of the family’s former enslavers. https://www.gtngenealogy.com/explore-our-portfolio/tracing-the-life-of-philip-florsheim-a-german-immigrant-shoe-and-boot-merchant monthly 0.5 2026-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/676a76e272fca615fd25a952/fb85bea8-26c7-45fa-9abb-4be9c7b74af6/Untitled+%2835%29.png Explore Our Portfolio - Tracing the life of Philip Florsheim, a German immigrant shoe and boot merchant.
