What an amazing find, to actually discover such an important document to your families history. Thank you for sharing Beverley's story with us, such an incredibly strong man
Thank you so much, Paul! Actually, Beverley really was man. If you notice, they spelled his name B-e-v-e-r-l-y. That's a woman's name. His wife's was Matilda. You can get confused like I did. Some places in records he is called Beverley. I have saved both, but I like Beverley.
Yes! He's gone from someone totally unknown to me to person who brought his family out of enslavement to a constable who voted. I cannot speak of Full-Text Search enough. After years of finding, AI is assisting me with discovering more!

You are welcome! I used FamilySearch's Full-Text Search. It is causing me to have to go back and search on our ancestors again.
Robin, you bring us the most potent and important stories of our black brethren and their success through struggles. Many thanks.
