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.

Ben was first enslaved by Adam Dirting, but was then willed to Adam's son, Adam Dirting, Jr. When Dirting, Jr. reached the age of majority, he released his claim on Ben and gave Ben to his younger brother, John Dirting. John sold Ben to Michael Barr on December 31, 1833 for $200. Barr immediately set Ben free, but the deed of emancipation was not admitted until July 11, 1836. Ben petitioned the state government to stay in Virginia and to purchase the freedom of his wife and child (who were both at the time enslaved by Michael Barr). Ben's petition included a letter from Alexander Anderson (the delegate-elect of Shenandoah County), a petition of citizens certifying Ben to be "honest, upright, industrious, sober & economical man," and letters from his previous enslavers. According to the petition, Ben was born and raised in Shenandoah County.

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.

Birth Date March 20, 1910 Birthplace Woodstock Virginia Death Date December 31, 1997 Occupation Co-Owner, Wender's Department Store in Woodstock and Mt. Jackson. Manager of Women's Department. Biographical Text Lenora "Sis" Wender Myerberg was born in Woodstock Virginia on March 20 1910. In 1932 her and her brother Simon assumed ownership of "Wenders Department Store" in Woodstock and Mt. Jackson Virginia following the death of their father William. The store had operated by William and mother Minnie since 1914. As co-owner, "Sis" managed the two stores Women's Department. This required trips to New York City every 2-3 months to purchase merchandise and to stay abreast of trends. Her profession led to her being known for her immaculate appearance and fashion knowledge. A graduate of Woodstock High School, Lenora first attended Randolph-Macon Women's College and then Beaver College in Glenside PA. After graduating from Beaver College, she worked in New York City for a period of time before returning to Woodstock to work at Wenders. After Wender's closed in the early 1970s, Sis and her husband David enjoyed retirement in their family home on N. Church Street in Woodstock. There she spent time managing a legacy rose garden created by her mother, volunteering with the Woodstock Library, and managing the hospitality cart at Shenandoah Memorial Hospital. She died on December 31 1997 and is buried at Beth El Congregation Cemetery in Harrisonburg Virginia.

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.

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.
