Hi Dorothy,
Actually I'm not sure exactly what it means. Based on the whole list (see
below) I'd say your assumption makes sense. Here is the whole post. I
extracted only the Carmack part previously.
When I was looking for my family in the library I printed off the page that
had my names. These were on the same page so I hope someone can use them.
Washington County ,Va.1853-1892 Birth & Death records:
By Deborah Campbell & Doris Galliher Stephens
Jacob - Sept.1854 / reported by W.J. Bishop/ Mother - Viney / Owner - Mary
Jones.
Jacob - 20 Feb.1856 / Owner - Mosby Davidson
Jamison ( n.n.) 15 Dec.1858 / Parents - D.P. & L.J. Jamison
Jane - 6 Nov.1853 Reported by Elisha McNew
Jane - March 1854 / Mother - Betsy Owner - Arthur Hutton
James - 5 July 1853/ Owner - Jonathan Hanby
James - Dec. 1853 / Owner - D.Campbell
James - June 1855 / Mother - Amanda / Owner - John Maiden

I was in hopes of finding a name that would tie in to the marriage of Levi
Canter and Rebecca James in Dec. of 1815. Married in Scott County but Levi
Canter ends up with a wife Sarah in Washington County by mid 1800's.

Dale,
What does it mean? Am I correct in assuming that this refers to a
slave.
Thanks, Dorothy Rouse
