James W. Jeter, Coosa Co., Alabama
I am writing because we may have a common ancestor, James W. Jeter.I am hoping that perhaps someone could share any information or leads you may have as to his slave holdings.My gggg grandmother was the slave Charity listed on his will and her son Green was my ggg grandfather.Although there are no known written records, it has been handed down through his great grandson that Green's father was James W. Jeter.If you have any shred of evidence regarding anything that might mention his slaves, would you please share them with me?Charity is the farthest I can go back on my family.You may find slave references in any of the following:
