Title A name given to the resource Bondage Biographies: Enslaved People of Shenandoah County Description An account of the resource In 2018, the Truban Archives began compiling information to create a searchable database of enslaved people in Shenandoah County during the years 1772 to 1865. Under the direction of the archivist, several volunteers pored over various resources to compile spreadsheets of information. The data compiled included the following information (if known): names, names of enslavers, locations related to the person, birthdates, relationships, what happened to them (e.g., emancipation, willed, ran away), the records’ citations, and other notable information. The resources used to discover this information are varied, and all can be found at the Truban Archives. Volunteers examined newspaper clippings and several books, including abstracts of wills, research notebooks, births indexes, and a publication on the history of Edinburg, Virginia. Once the data of several hundred people were assembled, the spreadsheet was uploaded to the digital archives for public consumption. More people will be uploaded as the research progresses. Though much information has been found and made available to the public, unfortunately, Bondage Biographies: Enslaved People of Shenandoah County Collection will never truly be completed. This is due to lost records, including missing newspaper copies and unrecorded information.

Christian Miller, the jailer for the town who had power of attorney from the Geyer estate, followed the two to Utica, New York. Miller found George and Harry, arrested them, and brought them to Judge Hayden. George and Harry denied being who Miller said they were. Their attorney, Alvan Stewart, argued that all men were free and that George and Harry were illegally arrested. The rest of the examination was postponed until later that evening, at 6:30 p.m. As it got closer to that time, a crowd grew in support of George and Harry. Just before the appointed hour, a signal was given to extinguish the lights. A struggle occurred between the guards and the crowd, and Harry and George were able to break free and escape.

According to census records, in 1850, there were two John Johnsons. One was 50 years old and lived with his wife, Eliza; the other was 25 and lived with his wife, Susan. In the 1860 census, "Jack" Johnson was recorded as being 60 and living in Toms Brook. His wife, Eliza (who was listed as being mulatto), was 49, and they had six children living with them.

Sometime between September 27 and October 7, 1873, the marriage of John and Eliza was officially recorded in Shenandoah County.

Title A name given to the resource Bondage Biographies: Enslaved People of Shenandoah County Description An account of the resource In 2018, the Truban Archives began compiling information to create a searchable database of enslaved people in Shenandoah County during the years 1772 to 1865. Under the direction of the archivist, several volunteers pored over various resources to compile spreadsheets of information. The data compiled included the following information (if known): names, names of enslavers, locations related to the person, birthdates, relationships, what happened to them (e.g., emancipation, willed, ran away), the records’ citations, and other notable information. The resources used to discover this information are varied, and all can be found at the Truban Archives. Volunteers examined newspaper clippings and several books, including abstracts of wills, research notebooks, births indexes, and a publication on the history of Edinburg, Virginia. Once the data of several hundred people were assembled, the spreadsheet was uploaded to the digital archives for public consumption. More people will be uploaded as the research progresses. Though much information has been found and made available to the public, unfortunately, Bondage Biographies: Enslaved People of Shenandoah County Collection will never truly be completed. This is due to lost records, including missing newspaper copies and unrecorded information. Because of this, the collection is an ongoing process, with more entries being made as new information is discovered.
