Thanks so much for your blog, I truly enj...CHaynes,<br />Thanks so much for your blog, I truly enjoy reading your posts. My slave ancestor Arthur Lee was owned by Dr. Charles Lewis of Sweet Springs. Arthur was born sometime between 1790 and 1796. Dr. Lewis "bound" Arthur to a Samuel Moore of Lewisburg in Greenbrier county "to learn the art of a blacksmith." I believe this is the Moore you mention in your blog as I've yet to find another Samuel Moore in this place at this time. Of course the state is solidly Virginia at this time I speak of. Arthur did buy his freedom and his family's freedom and settled in Alleghany county. I'd like more info on Moore, do you have anything else on him? I'm also trying to push the boundary and find the true origins of Arthur. Thanks so much for everything you do.<br />ToriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
