Hello,
I am researching my WEEDEN,WHILDEN,WEELDON/BROWN
tri-racial line of SC,NC,VA,MA,MN,TN,KY,CT,NY and perhaps
NS and Canada.
In 13yrs of research, I have connected w/NO ONE who acknowledges kinship to my line, but I
do know that the
CT Cantey family and my WHEELDIN family were closely acquainted in Hartford in the
1900s;they may have even been related, as it appears that many Black families from the
Charleston area, migrated and settled in that city, and intermarried.
MARIETTA CANTEY became an actress who achieved some small
fame in films.
I am hoping to get ANY info of CANTEY slaves that might help
w/my own family history.
If of interest, please contact me.
Sincerely,
carol wheeldin warren.
