Hi again Floyd, Are you sure that the child of Nicolas named Catherine was an Indian slave servant?I went to Google and have read a few articles about slaves during that time period. I believe that about that time the plantation owners realized that the African slaves were better at that work then the Native Americans and so they started using only the African slaves.
If you don’t know for sure the census should tell you or the birth information for Catherine’s child would indicate if she was black or Indian.This must be fun history for you.Janet
