Roquemore slaves-I do not know anything specific, but it is certain that a number of the Roquemores owned slaves.They are mentioned, but no number given, in James Roqumore's will about 1803.Through tax records, etc the general number of slaves held by a person can be determined.Although the original entry on this topic was referring to Georgia, I know Roquemores in Texas (they went from GA to TX in 1847) took slaves with them when they went.I am sure there is nothing unique about these slaves, except that many retained the Roquemore surname and the person inquiring was descended from them.Dave Reese
