Notes


On July 14, 1938 I talked with "Uncle" Wes Mauney, a slave of Col. Abe Mauney (son of Jacob) who was almost 91 years old. "Uncle" Wes was just a baby when Col. Abe was 58 years old, so Wes played with, and was the age of Col. Abe's grandchildren. He told me Abraham Mauney's home was on the original tract of land owned by his father Jacob, but Jacob's home site was about 1/4 to 1/2 mile west of Abraham's. Jacob Mauney operated a tan yard west of his home (near where Grat Mauney, Jr., grandson) later lived. Abraham had a tan yard near his dwelling, and 'Little Abe,', son of Abraham, later operated one here. Col. Abraham had a shoemaker in his home named Flucker - an Englishman - who taught the negroes to make shoes. Flucker and a McLelland baby were buried in the slave graveyard on the place, where Sam, the father of Wes, was also buried.@S6@@S6@
