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.

On December 8, 1845, John was emancipated by Jacob Huddle's heirs. On March 9 of the next year, John was granted permission to remain in the Commonwealth, due to the court finding him "of good character, etc., peaceable, industrious, orderly, not addicted to drunkenness, gaming." 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. At least two of the children were born into slavery. The value of their personal property was $600, but they had $0 in land value. They appeared to be farmers. Sometime between September 27 and October 7, 1873, the marriage of John and Eliza was officially recorded in Shenandoah County. John listed his age as 73 and Eliza as 57; both said they were born in Culpeper County, Virginia.

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.
